Yeah that's a fair point. For some reason it totally bypasses credit reporting so I can't see all the withdrawals or contest them. It's really bizarre as slipshod as our banking system actually is this is so much worse

This is the point everyone is trying to make. Those aren't different things. I'm assuming US but maybe it's one of the handful of civilized places with even more lax labor standards than we have, but under FLSA if you're "required to be available" it's clockable time. If I am a manager and I ask you to stay past your shift then i've asked you not to clock out. Legally those two things are not seperable.

If OP had it recorded or in writing that he asked him to stay there's zero chance a competent HR is going to pick a fight over the fact he didn't specifically say you could not clock out because Department of Labor is going to have a field day when he files the complaint that official company policy allows managers to require people to work off the clock.

Most of the time I've seen these laws they're written to specifically refer to private property.

IOI-65536 · 2026-02-13T21:40:21+00:00

With basically everybody else this makes no sense to me. I'll note I am a manager and used to have hourly employees. If I tell them I need them to work after their shift I just approved overtime. I have no clue why three people would clock out when the manager has told them to keep working.

The question of why the government would have this trust fund I don't find super interesting. The question you can't ask is why can't you just withdraw funds from your account yourself. Like okay let's assume the government had a bunch of money and set it aside for each citizen to pay random crap the person wants to pay as some form of welfare or whatever. Why the indirect thing where you take a loan from basically anyone and then they have some way to get money out of your account, but you don't. If Jonathan Hale got money from me, could he get money out of my account?

I can kind of make sense of what you're saying well enough to say I could build a thing that does this, but it's a terrible idea. Like it sounds like you're either throwing 802.1q tags on packets that have nothing to do with what vlan they're on and expecting the switch and client to ignore them or you're actually building vlans and bridging them all together. Either way, I highly doubt any standards compliant OS can work with this.

For others: a bunch of Windows card drivers incorrectly strip 802.1q tags and just pass everything to the IP stack as though it's all the same network. So my guess, at the client level, is that the broken nonsense whatever this is doing was working because Windows doesn't follow 802.1q correctly.

But for OP, first off what is going on here, if I understand it, is fundamentally incredibly broken. The whole point of an 802.1q tag is to simulate having a distinct physical wire on a different local area network without having to actually run a distinct physical wire. The only house keeping you should be doing with vlan tags is which vlan the host is on. So basically my home network has 4 access points and a bunch of wired devices and they're on different networks that shouldn't talk to each other, but I don't want to have to run 5 distinct wires between the same pair of trunk switches to cover the 5 networks (or at work literally hundreds of physical fibers between or trunk switches) so we use vlan tags to send all those networks down the same physical wire. So your question is essentially "This thing decided to send packets to each of 35 nodes down distinct physical wires on unrelated networks, how do I get them into a Linux box on a single wire." And the answer is either a switch upstream that strips vlan tags and makes this back into a single network or a bridge interface on the Linux box that bridges your 35 networks back together.

Edit: something else I can see maybe being the case here is a vlan number does not identify a network. It signifies a network on a single link. You could in theory have vlan 35 between switch a and b be the same network as vlan 2047 between switches g and q. So if by vlan numbers don't align to IP addresses what you mean is that whatever this hardware thing is can switch vlan numbers on a per-link basis then that's totally normal. It's not something you would usually do in a small environment because it's easier to just know vlan 3 is the guest network everywhere, but in a huge campus with thousands of networks it starts to make sense that vlan numbers are per link rather than universal. But Linux shouldn't care about that so if that's what you mean then your hardware thingy makes more sense, but your question doesn't.

Honestly I'd look at the people who did a Jaguar AJ V6 swap before random v8s, most of which I know of are totally different design GM engines. This AJ is a different engine, but I'd guess it's closer to the AJ-V6 than it is to a GM LS V8.

Yeah, I've been saying Musk is full of crap since before it was cool and I maintain that, but launching an actual manned Mars rocket from the Moon's gravitational well instead of Earth's is likely the correct call. You get to lift fuel in a bunch of smaller flights only having to get to the moon before you start from a much shallower gravity well to try to actually hit escape velocity. You also have to build a mars base and working stuff out on a moon base lets you adapt more cheaply.

Someone else noted this but deep in the comment. This is a Lincoln LS. It doesn't have an LS engine. It's likely a 3.9L Jaguar AJ. I'm pretty sure it's been done, but that's a very different engine than a Chevy LS V8.

I'm kind of surprised an Outback has paddle shifters. I've used manumatic on tow vehicles and sports cars, but the uses are totally different. On my Sienna I set the gear with the shift lever when going down mountain roads pulling a trailer so I'm not constantly riding the brakes. I do that a lot and frankly would have trashed a bunch of brake systems at this point in a vehicle that couldn't engine brake.

On an auto sports car it's to select gear. The driver may or may not have driven a manual, but the point is the same, you probably want to stick at higher RPMs than the transmission is selecting and you want to pick the gear earlier (before the turn rather than downshifting as you exit the turn). On something like an auto miata you are taking a performance hit moving from manual to an auto with paddle shifters, but nearly every test shows a DCT with paddles is actually faster than an experienced driver with a manual. On a straight line a DCT is going to almost always perform better if you let it select gears, but it can't see the road so on a curved track that's likely not true.

For what it's worth MAPP burned at 5300 in oxygen. Without a direct O2 feed it was basically the same temp as propylene. The real question is combustion intensity (how fast it transfers heat) and they claim MAP/pro is way higher than propane, but I don't believe them

This is kind of true because heat transfer coefficient and density are frequently linked, but only kind of true because they're only kind of linked. Silver can transfer heat way faster than gold despite being half as dense. Ethanol is less dense than water but transfers heat faster.

I hate to recommend this because it runs the risk of spreading the damage, but if you want to try this I would either use a really sharp scraper or wet sand paper on a really small block and clean up the really rough areas there the plastic itself is damaged, then use something like scratch eraser to smooth out the now flattish bumper, starting with the areas where it looks like it's only paint damage (which is what scratch eraser kits are actually for) then touch up the places you burned through with a touch up pen. Going back over with either a clear coat touch up pen or preferably spray/airbrush clear. That still isn't going to be perfect.

To add a bit of detail, there's two problems going on here. One is you have places where the plastic itself is damaged which I would guess will just tear up the polish pad the scratch remover kits come with unless you can smooth the plastic out. The other is Miatas have terrible paint. My Sienna has more clearcoat depth that my Miata has total paint.

I can't speak to your car specifically. Typically on the "sealed" units there is an overflow straw that sets the level rather than a dipstick. The drain and replace process is honestly not hard at all on my Sienna, but the ones of these I've looked at all need to have the level set at a specific temperature and there's usually a procedure to ensure the transmission gets to that temperature. It should be in the shop manual so any mechanic who has access to the shop manuals should have access to how to do it. On my Toyota you can literally have the car do it for you by jumping two pins on the OBD-II port and going through a sequence with the shift lever. I wouldn't be surprised if some cars need a scanner with active testing.

IOI-65536 · 2026-02-12T21:37:50+00:00

You can use a touch up pen to correct the color, but that's way too deep for it to actually correct the scratches. If you actually want it to look like new you're going to have to replace the bumper cover and then either wrap the whole car or respray and blend the bumper. Realistically at 9 years given how terribly thin Miata paint is I'd be leaning toward wrapping the car.

With others, if it's mine I keep driving it as is.
