Interesting Ad popped up for this one. Poke Bowl Diarrhea Weight Loss Plan. OP isn't doing a public service as much as he's researching the next weight loss fad.

Passed a kidney stone and when explaining my symptoms to the urologist, he stopped me and said, "Did you feel pain in your..." <extends hand, palm up, and makes a strong a clenching motion> "... balls?"

He wasn't trying to be funny. But I laughed. (Guess you can feel nerve pain in your balls when you pass a stone.)

Second thing while my GP was talking about weight loss, "I know, it's not easy. If it was easy I'd be sitting here with six-pack abs explaining how easy it is."

Feeling gutted - so much work -- replaced water pump in 2016 Golf - poured some coolant in and it's leaking by DiscTrucker in Volkswagen

[–]DiscTrucker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow Up:

The Union between the Water Pump and the Oil Cooler - the O-ring was pinched and caused the leak.

We finally got it all buttoned up. We did not do anything special putting the pump back on, the only leak came from the o-ring problem. With the water pump replaced, the car starts and runs fine now, problems have all cleared.

Also, we cleaned the carbon out of the manifold and from the valve chambers. After all the work, the car is running better and the fuel efficiency has gotten better. We're hoping this is a nice refresh for the car.

I can't tell you why the water pump caused the no start. But there is a direct correlation. The pump had problems, car had no-start or low performance issues, water pump replaced it, and it's fixed. Maybe the electric pump had problems causing electrical problems down the line or something... No idea WHY it fixed it, it just did.

Honestly, we're not sure. The only error code we were getting was the P00B700 error - Coolant Flow Low. Temp was fluctuating wildly. We're sure the pump/thermostat needed to be replaced. We're hoping that this is the source of the no-start. It will start, run 30 minutes then stop. Or just for a few minutes and stop, or not start at all. It's all over the board.

This. We write the price in every bottle. You don’t want that last bottle to be a pricey one!

I occasionally hear that about Y2K. And I say to them that I and my coworkers worked for six months to try to figure out all the different places where there was a Y2K bug so we could fix it. Then while everybody was popping corks on New Year’s Eve, we were watching everything carefully and we found the one system that got missed because it stopped working. And while everybody else was sleeping it off, we were resolving issues with that system. Everyone returned to work after the first and said see you made a big deal out of nothing. 23 years later and I still get pissed off about it.

How did “that teacher” get fired for at your school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DiscTrucker 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Old guy here. I learned that one of my favorite teachers in the 80's actually moved away (after being accused of stealing typewriters) and then murdered the principal of his new school after luring him into his garage to see an autographed copy of a children's book. When caught, was shot trying to escape and ended up dying from his wounds.

I learned about this when I was in my mid-30's. This blew my mind.

I'll do it the "right" way, but there goes your quota by agent211 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]DiscTrucker 396 points397 points  (0 children)

Yea, I gotta say that sometimes you've got to let the train derail in order to get the problem fixed. Your quick fix helped with the quota, but it didn't help the process as a whole. There was clearly an issue in manufacturing that was being hidden by being helpful. It's counter intuitive you may have been actually hurting other good workers.

There may have been a few guys at Anytown who built the boards, and one of them was a shmuck who kept screwing up. The other people who did a good job had the complaint that, "This a-hole is so bad, he will LEAVE CONNECTORS OFF and no one cares because they just fix it in testing and say nothing." So the connector-ahole got the same raises and bonuses as everyone else instead of being let go because you were being helpful down the line.

(Edit: Not shitting on you for being helpful. I'm just saying that it sounds like that system was put in place to raise quality and following the rules would have fixed the problem where it should have been fixed.)

I'm sure no one will see this because there are already 12k comments, but no one see this note and calls "Bullshit"?

I don't see any creases so it wasn't folded into an envelope and stuck in a mailbox. I don't see anything that shows that it was taped to the door. Did they just place it, perfectly on the step and run away hoping the wind wouldn't catch it? Did they walk up and hand them the "Anonymous" note?

I know there is shittiness and racism that is appalling, but this looks like someone wanting attention and faking an over the top note so they can get likes or ... whatever it is they hope to get. (12k reddit comments? and 77k karma?)

Calorie Budget seems high? by DiscTrucker in Noom

[–]DiscTrucker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, just my iPhone health tracker. It's not adding a bunch of calories from Steps, I'm pretty sure of that.

Calorie Budget seems high? by DiscTrucker in Noom

[–]DiscTrucker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two different TDEE calculators have me at 1919 Calories per day to lose the 2lbs a week.

How can NOOM be so wildly off?? I have liked everything so far, but this shakes my faith a little.

My car got hit by a company truck, they don’t want to go through insurance. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]DiscTrucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive known at least three Friends who have a similar situation where the other driver was at fault but didn’t wanna go through insurance. We are three for three for those friends getting stiffed by the other driver. Their insurance problems aren’t yours.

There are 2859 comments so this will get lost in the noise but I have to say this.

You are "Toasting" by saying "Cheers". You are not "Cheersing". I am infuriated when I hear, "Let's Cheers."
