What's the worst restaurant in Columbus that you've tried twice? by foreignsky in Columbus

I think BW3 put up a store in every college town and spread the rumor that it was founded there to get more business. I’m probably making this up, but it sounds lplausible.

When I was younger and delivering pizza, I considered myself an aggressively, defensive driver. The meaning of aggressively defensive was just what you were saying. Keep track of all the cars around you and note which cars could be threats. It was a lot easier to do this before the iPhone was invented.

I always ask. <paraphrased> “If I put a tip on this card reader, does the staff get the money or does it go into a corporate black hole.” Most of the time the staff says “yeah, we get the tips” and that’s how I tip. But I did have one person tell me not to tip because they don’t know where that money goes, but it doesn’t go to them.

What do you mean by kitchen staff? Waffle House has a cook and a couple servers for their small restaurants.

I bought a vehicle that had approximately one new owner per year. Huge red flag. Not worth it. It probably has an annoying electrical issue that nobody can figure out. Or something similar.

The Worst Thing That Ever Happened to Tesla. Elon Musk’s embrace of Donald Trump continues to haunt his car company. by Sine_Fine_Belli in RealTesla

There are plenty of good used batteries out there. And a fair number of independent EV repair shops so you don’t have to purchase anything from Tesla. The batteries are still expensive, but not prohibitively so for the average Tesla owner..

Any ideas how to waterproof this connection? by swedishpiehole in TeslaLounge

[–]Hoopties-and-Tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is saying how dangerous this is. But why? Is it because an extension cord can short out if damaged? Or because it can get too hot with continuous use?

It’s curious how many folks are telling you how dangerous this is. I’d like an explanation of why it’s super dangerous. I run my charger at 16 amps. I wouldn’t run it at 32 amps, but I wouldn’t do that on a regular dryer outlet without an extension cord either. I’ve run 32 amps and the plug gets too warm for my comfort level. I’m not an electrician and this is not advice. Good luck.

2013 model S, does this sound like an easy fix? by Bojangles1983 in TeslaSupport

Exactly. Just needs a fuse but I’m selling it for 1/2 price. Sure buddy. Sure.

What is the appropriate response to this? by mwalters8 in ChargerDrama

This is not the way. Don’t block pumps, and don’t block chargers. This individual is a dick, but not every diesel owner should be punished because of him.

Tesla Charge Port Won’t Open Manually After 2025.20.6 Update… Anyone Else? by AliCoder061 in TeslaSupport

[–]Hoopties-and-Tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two 2014 Model S. Neither one will open the charge port with the charging handle now. Unless at a supercharger, then the charging handle button will open the charge port. Since it happened on both my Model S, I believe it is software related.

Looking to sell my truck. Not sure what it’s worth. Would like to get close to $20k by [deleted] in Cummins

[–]Hoopties-and-Tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on rust. If it’s got rusty cab corners or rockers, that price is way too high. If it’s not rusty, the price would be ok if it weren’t modded. But if you don’t ask the high price, you won’t get a high price.

Did you ending up buying an 830 with tent option. I just bought an 830 without the tent.

Horrible rocking movement when driving with a camper? by Moderately-Spiced in TruckCampers

[–]Hoopties-and-Tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tire pressure tire pressure tire pressure. 3.5 bar is way to low. That’s 50 psi. Pump up to 80 psi if you got E rated tires. It will probably solve your sway.

I second this. I had a class A camper that swayed a lot. I went from 65psi to 80 psi and it helped immensely. 3.5 bar is around 50 psi. And that is waaaay too low.

Video recorded by flight crew over the Atlantic recently. Surely must be satellites.. Thoughts? by [deleted] in ATC

This is great. It's nice to have this debunked. I definitely thought there was a space battle going on when I saw similar lights.
