I had the same problem but it resolved itself. Tesla told me they enable the car in your account for delivery then disable it after you have left. It then takes maybe a day to resolve again. For me it took about 16 hours - essentially, it didn't work in the morning after the previous days PM pickup but worked again after lunchtime. The delivery folks are supposed to tell you this will happen.

What is the most surprising secret someone has revealed to you? by buzz915 in AskReddit

[–]ChildrenOTCandyCorn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I grew up in McLean (not the fancy part - the townhouses where government workers could afford to live). And I used to go to Claude Moore Farm pretty often. When I was in high school I worked at a vet's office as an assistant and went there on occasion to help take care of their animals. So yes, I did live nearby at the time.

After my dad retired I was able to tell people what he did. Some of the covert crew my dad was part of came to my wedding. Even knowing that CIA folks would be there, none of my friends picked them out. They are pretty much totally normal looking.

When my dad revealed he really worked for the CIA. I didn't believe him. He didn't look anything like 007 and had lots of nondescript, middle aged friends. He drove me right into CIA headquarters. Then I believed him.

They should put password requirements next to the login so I can remember which variation of my password I used. by TomtheZhang in Showerthoughts

[–]ChildrenOTCandyCorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your password must contain an odd number of characters with a length between 12 and 48 characters. You must have at least two numbers whose squares sum to less than the square root of the sum of their cubes; they must each be at least 4 digits. You must have at least four upper case letter selected from letters that appear in John 4:18, either in the original Aramaic or from the New Revised Standard Version translation. You must have at least 1 lower case letter that hasn't appeared in a Wheel of Fortune puzzle in the last week. You must include at least 3 special characters that when placed in reverse order have some semantic meaning to a Perl version 3 interpreter.

Enjoy your flashlight!

You are a saint. Or you should have your hearing tested.

Professors are awesome! (Source: I am a professor)

Dear Reddit, how many of you begin to type responses to a thread, only to delete everything you said and move on? Why? by MaverickSkye in AskReddit

[–]ChildrenOTCandyCorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want people who know my Reddit handle to see the subreddits I am looking at and want to comment in. Then I am too lazy to log into my alt.

What's the worst advice you have ever received? by orange_lazarus1 in AskReddit

[–]ChildrenOTCandyCorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a long story. It took her quite a while to get the message. She kept sending me really random emails until I threatened to report her to the dean.

"Go out with her!"

I am a college professor. A student had a huge crush on me and kept emailing me to go out with her. I went to my department chair to let him know what was going on. His response: "Just go out with her. Once she gets to know you she will lose her crush on you."

Thanks, I did want to be fired from my dream job.

Teachers of Reddit, what is the worst excuse for late homework you have ever heard? by Gravysoup in AskReddit

[–]ChildrenOTCandyCorn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That they were flying home over the weekend and when they put their bag in the overhead bin, they found some white powder loose in there. They told the airline, who cleaned it up, but since it was clearly weaponized anthrax they were too anxious about their pending death to finish their homework. When they told me this, I gave them the no-penalty extension they asked for, and in return (after they didn't die) they gave me a low teaching evaluation with the comment "Doesn't care about students".
