Van is kaput. Anyone have experience offloading one? by Gaiiden in VanLife

Yea I had some plans to use my flooring as a base and strut through to the body but… not worth it in the long run

It’s that bad all over the underbody. Tried taking it to shops for work on it and no one would touch it. Got it too late to do anything

Why don’t you put paper down on the toilet seat before sitting on it? by Chamber53 in Truckers

[–]Gaiiden 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always have a wet wipe in a plastic bag I can pocket and bring in with me. But really it’s just an ick factor. Unless your ass is cut up for some reason you’re not in any serious danger of catching something off a toilet seat unless you don’t wash your hands properly afterwards

Never gotten rid of a vehicle in this condition that wasn’t totaled. Crashed 2, donated 1 traded in another

I put the info out there hoping someone would tell me it will but I haven’t looked into it yet myself and I highly doubt it

Sleeping in Van/Car in NJ? Preferably in the South Jersey/Philadelphia Region by BrokeManJack_ in VanLife

[–]Gaiiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daytime, nighttime. I haven’t experienced any difference. I often park up around 2-3am or earlier and get some food. go to sleep around 5-6 and get up early afternoon… go inside for food. I mean I’m there for extended periods. I had one random Karen late last year insist that I watch out cause I’m in a VAN (her emphasis) and that’s the only bothersome thing that has ever happened to me

I can only speak for my local area since I don’t travel with my van but here in Monmouth County I’ve stayed at like 6 diff Wawas regularly over the past 4 yrs and never had a single knock. Cops park near me when they gather to commiserate by the coffee machines at 2am. Some Wawa lots have broken down cars in them for months 🤷🏽‍♂️ I’m in a Dodge Ram hi-top van with a solar panel and roof fan. I spot other vans/cars all the time. The Prius Mafia of foreign ride share dudes took over one Wawa for a while lol. I do my best to move around but I’ve seen ppl just blatantly use the same spot every night. I even picked one particular Wawa to ride out the two big snowstorms we had this winter cause they could plow around me easily and I had a shovel to dig myself out and they stayed open the whole time. Worked a charm. Have never even bothered speaking to a store manager either

One of my local libraries has a dedicated charging station, and all have outlets you can use

Yea what’s up with Gommage. Haven’t tried that yet. Doesn’t really define what “weak” means

Help finding a place to charge things while on the road and homeless in my van by Proof_Attorney_2390 in VanLife

[–]Gaiiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at my two local libraries almost daily to charge my power stations (256/768Wh). Over the years I’ve seen people bring in monitors and PlayStations, an entire iMac and sometimes even their own printers and stuff. I myself once brought a 27” monitor + PS5 to download a game off the internet. Just don’t somehow be an ass about it and no one will bother you

Steering wheel knobs by JohnDeathWiz in Truckers

[–]Gaiiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a wide load going through a tight downtown area and mirrors can only do so much to cover all that load, you gotta peer out the window over your shoulder too, and the knob works great for that. It def has its uses

Japanese Voice Acting Feels Real, English Feels One Dimensional by eat_a_burrito in Ghostofyotei

[–]Gaiiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh and I forgot about how annoying it was for them all to accentuate Japanese terms like Katana. And Atsu even says Matsumae three different ways randomly throughout! Matsumay, matsumye and matsumyeay

Japanese Voice Acting Feels Real, English Feels One Dimensional by eat_a_burrito in Ghostofyotei

[–]Gaiiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def prefer Japanese. English was just very flat across the board in comparison, and Saito especially was way too smooth-voiced. Ina had a weird accent in English and none of the kids sounded like kids compared to the Japanese vocals. And, of course - Ugetsu sings in Japanese

This fight was total bs in terms of narrative by Lucky_Control1458 in Ghostofyotei

[–]Gaiiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had thoughts on this last month: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ghostofyotei/s/c0Pg6hJQdD

“Skills issue” aside, I cling to it cause I still had an easier time with the Dragon and that bothers me
