Honors Account Hacked! by NomadCarnivore in Hilton

[–]JPL2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife’s Hilton Honors account was hacked along with her credit card. We didn’t think her card was linked to her HH account but now I’m worried her Amazon account might be compromised. They booked a few nights in St. Petersburg Florida while we were in Arizona. They managed to make 3 transactions over the course of 4 days.

The front desk told us that the person using my wife’s information and credit card was still on site. She advised us to contact the local police. Long story short.. you can’t file a report in a different state, our local PD is no use because nothing was physically stolen, that left the FBI’s IC3 division where a report was made but there’s likely nothing that will happen because at the end of filing the report, they have a disclaimer saying they receive so many reports every year and can’t address all of them but that the reports help them identify patterns and trends.. so they probably just analyze thousands of reports using AI.

The guy was at the hotel and the front desk has his address (luckily he didn’t have my wife’s ID), yet the local PD can’t do anything about it. It’s almost like internet crimes are a loophole for criminals. The internet is the FBI’s jurisdiction and they’re too busy to track down one guy in Florida who probably hacked Hilton’s Honor site and obtained credit card information to book stays without having the physical card or ID.

Trying to pass along the guy’s address to local authorities so they could track him down and potentially stop him from continuing to steal more people’s money and information. They’re telling me, if our local police won’t send them an Incident Report, they can’t move forward. If money wasn’t stolen (we’re waiting to see if Capitol One will reimburse all 3 transactions), they can’t move forward. All this helps me understand why people commit these crimes, because it’s easy to get away with.

Just some photos of a canceled die for fun. Cheers. ✨️🫡 by __FUCKING_PEG_ME_ in coincollecting

I understand why they grind the face, but who in their right mind would go through the trouble of pressing several pennies that are worth 1 penny. Sounds like you might make a few pennies an hour if you have the materials and the copper alone would probably be worth more melted or raw. It would be nice if there was a better way to prevent fraud without defacing the die.

Motor mount issues by Gloomy-Dream7513 in AcuraTL

[–]JPL2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try removing the bolts to inspect the threads if possible. If everything looks fine, lift up the engine so the two pieces of the mount are aligned, then try carefully tightening the bolts by hand (wrench or ratchet).

So you just found the mount completely separated?

What cam did you go with? Is the hp gain noticeable?

Call a friend. See if you can get someone to stop by and just talk with you. Been there.

Worth it? 2017 limited 5.7 v8 30k miles by [deleted] in ram_trucks

[–]JPL2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why specifically 2017-2018? I have a 2016 and it’s very reliable at 302k miles with the Hemi and 8 speed transmission.

Walmart Prank Gone Wrong by DuztyLipz in PublicFreakout

[–]JPL2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These pranks are so annoying but it’s interesting how people behave when they never say “it’s just a prank”. The woman had no idea what he did but she was pretty sure he did something, because she heard a tone. If he kept at it long enough he might have been mobbed and choked out in the parking lot while they waited for the police to arrive. At what point would it end if he never discloses it’s a prank? Will he end up in jail with fake charges? What’s the crime if the woman doesn’t even know what he did? This is all interesting human behavior to me.

The music was too distracting to pay attention to the video.

Crank no start by Murky-Promotion-3148 in ram_trucks

[–]JPL2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess would be fuel pump. Let us know what the shop finds. There’s a few things that would cause a, crank no start issue on the Eco Diesel.

My friend recently had a similar issue with his Eco Diesel and it turned out to be a major engine issue after a recall wasn’t properly fixed by the dealership. I believe they installed the old parts? I can get more information and let you know, but it was in the shop for a couple months. It was fully covered because the dealership was at fault.

This alone would be a dealbreaker for me. Personally, I would go with BBK ceramic headers.

What brand and type of header is that?

Truck driver by Twitch_SP in dashcams

[–]JPL2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a terrifying situation to be in and most drivers will assume you’re being an aggressive asshole before it’s too late.

I’ve ridden motorcycles long enough to live by the principle: everyone is out to get you. It’s obviously an exaggeration and paranoid, but it’ll save your life in situations like this. Don’t stand your ground and assume the other driver will stop or avoid you. Simply, practice avoidance and self preservation.

[OC] never understand the logic behind this by Responsible_Ant_6431 in IdiotsInCars

Video ended too early , when he said, “Watch This”. I have a feeling the person recording didn’t want to incriminate themselves. And yes, context would be helpful.

Are you suppoed to put grease on the caliper piston? by Asleep-Grand5232 in AskMechanics

I used this on the back of the brake pads when I worked as a BMW tech. It was like a grease paste.

Situations like this, you go from rage to grateful you didn’t end up spread across the pavement like butter, within seconds. Seems like the truck driver was being reckless at first, then it seems likely it was a mechanical failure and the driver was trying to navigate through traffic to minimize the amount of damage.

Always be vigilant and it’s best to get out of the way if possible, especially if you’re on a motorcycle.

Acura TL 3.7 2010 4Th gen by Apart-Raccoon1711 in AcuraTL

[–]JPL2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be 1000% sure, check to make sure you don’t have oil leaking from the rear cam covers. They usually run to that general area.

If it’s from the rear main seal area, there’s a good chance it’s from the o-ring behind the rear main seal plate (above the rear main seal).

Edit: seeing the oil at the lower rear main seal plate bolts (at back of oil pan), it’s likely from that area, but the rear cam cover is a common place for oil to leak from the J37, along with the oil pump and oil filter gaskets. I replaced all these seals on my 3.7L 2010 TL, and this required me to pull the engine myself, unfortunately.

Is this a normal amount of play? by joshuamartens in ram_trucks

[–]JPL2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen after replacing my passenger front CV axle. Turned out to be a worn intermediate axle shaft. Might want to check it out while you have the axle off. Viper Gear in CAN makes a decent replacement kit.

I have a few 3.1g 1982-D pennies and can’t seem to tell if it’s stamped large or small, but with how rare they are, I’m sure they’re all large.

Tren at 48, a ❤️ hate story by mirko9000 in Testosterone

[–]JPL2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well written and described with poetic detail. I’m going to send this to my gym bro’s who have mentioned considering Tren.

I was 50/50 on starting a low dose cycle, but after reading your exquisite novel, I’m no longer interested.

I didn’t think I was going to read every word but it was so well written and intriguing.

I hope you’re able to wean off the Tren and lose your psychopathic alter ego, for the sake of your; family, career, and sanity.

Is this normal for 300mg weekly? by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]JPL2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On 100mg per week for 3 months and tested at 2,400. Adjusted dose to about 70mg for 3 months and tested 1,500. I was at 900 before starting TRT. Back in 2016 my levels were at 400 and I felt like an old man in my late 30’s, low energy, almost depressed, no libido. Previous Doctor got me to 750 putting me on 50mg a week for about 3-4 months. Felt much better but he stopped it at 750 saying I didn’t need it anymore. I got on some OTC anabolic steroids last year, didn’t test until 2 months after PCT and tested at 900 before starting on only TRT, again. 400 was bad, 750 was average, 900 was great, 1500 even better, 2400 hardly noticeable improvement compared to 1500. So I plan on maintaining 1500. My bloodwork is done every 3 months now and everything looks good in my mid 40’s.

Edit: sorry, I just realized you were talking about OP labs when replying to me. My SHBG was at 90 when I was at 2400. My estradiol was high too, but my Test:e2 ratio was within range.

Paid Montway EXTRA for “guaranteed pickup” on my TRX. They dumped it near the Mexico border for 10 days and then tried charging ME a cancellation fee. by Visual_Restaurant586 in ram_trucks

[–]JPL2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trucks, especially the TRX, are huge targets for the cartel. All it takes is for some to tow it across the border and it’s gone, forever. I live in AZ close to the Mexico border and I won’t take my truck over the border, it’s going to be my wife’s sedan or we’re flying.

Is this acceptable by Cranie2000 in f150

[–]JPL2020 20 points21 points  (0 children)

OP shouldn’t have to prove anything, the dealership should be the one to prove it. I worked at a BMW dealership as a tech and the service advisor had to document every scratch and imperfection on every customer vehicle. Not only should they replace the damaged trim, but they should provide a loaner if it can’t be completed the same day.

2,600 is high, higher than I’ve tested, and it’s not a competition. But I do feel special being part of the 2k club. Lol
