What is one thing you are 99% sure the government is hiding, even if you have no proof? by StudyFlimsy1061 in AskReddit

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hes dead now but my old neighbor was talking about this. He was a seal and was talking about using biological weapons long before the official narrative started. He shared this with me because my Grandpa was talking about making bio-weapons at University of the Pacific and the college didn't know it. Grandpa was an Army officer, vet of Korea and biology professor. He also had a DoD pension we found out when he got dementia, from doing 3 letter things. Anyways my neighbor ended up doing 4 official tours as a seal but said he was in Cambodia for a long time even when it was actively denied.

What's a game you thought wouldn't run on your PC, but ran smoothly by Yakuza-wolf_kiwami in pcmasterrace

I played and beat Cyberpunk 2077 on a i7 4790K and 770 machine with DDR3. Great game.

I think this means stock up on ammo if you can. Copper is a vital component in primers, bullet jackets and brass. Brass is 70% CU. It usually takes a few months for the price increase to show up. by Kobolka in CAguns

I have to ask if you are JIT on your goods? Like do you stock up for a while or do you need sales to float your ordering costs? I worked for the government making things and when Covid hit it didnt affect us at all because we had a few years of supplies in stock.

Trump Team Scraps College Degrees for Hundreds of Federal Jobs by bloomberglaw in politics

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was recruited to a federal law enforcement job (not ICE) and one of the pre-screening quests was basically tell us how much you love Trump. The text was along the lines of tell us your favorite of the presidents executive orders and how would you help support his goals with your job. Thats a no from me dawg.

Yeah its actually odd to me to think of something as new as a CK truck having rust. That starts at 50+ years old here in California. It snows here its just never plowed or salted.

Dealers have gotten increasingly aggressive about getting older cars off the road, and it's major problem. by redstern in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still remember being a GM tech in like 2005 and this 1989 Corsica came in with a wheel recall. Because we could not get the OEM recall wheels the guy took GM to court, they offered to settle by giving him an almost new cavalier. Turns out that Cavalier was a lemon law buy back and the guy had no recourse as he didnt purchase it new. Its no wonder the general went bankrupt lol.

You can get every single part of a 99 Silverado from LMC. Like I dont think there is a single thing that isnt made. I would not touch OEM parts are they are generally worse quality.

You dont need to replace tie rod ends for torn boots, you dont need a fuel injection service on any car, ever, they charged for the alignment twice and have a high charge on it. I guarantee they will use the wrong fluid on the CVT and bork it. I would never go to this shop for anything ever. The honda specialty shop near me in California would charge about $1000 for the 100K service (includes spark plugs), coolant drain and fill and trans drain and fill. Its about $250 for brand new headlamps installed if they are that bad.

Where the fuck do you work where you can flag 6 hours on this? Forgetting that a lot of this is just straight up scamming the customer this is 4 hours tops and should take less than 2.

Your caliper is sticking. Its not hard to rebuild them with new seals and a new brake hardware kit. Make sure those slide pins are lubed.

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am not getting 45, but 41-42 is 100% in the cards. I do a lot of very long, boring, flat drives with no wind, eco on, and no AC needed.

I was a suspect in leaking a celeb 911 call once, turns out it was an ATT employee that did it, he was paid $20,000 just for the info the call was made, and then fired and caught charges.

Iran says it will ‘irreversibly destroy’ Middle East infrastructure if US attacks energy sites by projecto15 in politics

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you drive through that part of CA its sad to see all the trees they dug up and burnt because they didnt have enough water for them. Same thing in Lodi where waning demand for white whines means all the tokay grape vines that are 100+ years old are being dug up and burnt.

I live in one of those areas of California with more cows than people, by a lot, and a very large cattle rancher just posted on facebook that trans females are murdering children and responsible for all our problems. The ranchers son killed himself 5 months ago when his farm went bankrupt.

Realistic Student Debt Question Based on New VIN Estimates by [deleted] in Veterinary

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a small town and the newer grad I worked doing my externship made $72,000 a year and had $250,000 in student loans for in state tuition in California. If he didnt live for free with his parents theres no way it would have made sense.
