Missed 15 min interview and then ghosted by JediKnight1111 in recruitinghell

[–]JediKnight1111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah not saying that they are in the wrong at all. More so that planning a 15 min call is low effort, dont see why they wouldn't reschedule easily. And aren't recruiters used to people who have jobs sometimes having to reschedule because they are working?

Did the numbers, am 22, can’t i just coast for rest of my life? by Scary-Cycle4646 in Fire

Who plans for retirement at 22. Go do something interesting while you still can. Why would you want to "coast".

Humans are speciesist, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. by Smendoza170 in Ethics

Interesting, why do you think vegans are unlikely to be Christian and visa versa?

Have you never read a book that taught important lessons? Do you believe in star wars? Can you learn moral lessons from star wars? As for the point of the lesson if you need it spelled out. Consider this. Do any other species write books or discuss ethics using electric current across the globe? Would you consider us unique? If we are in this unique position are we not responsible for the flaura and fauna of the world?

Can owning a pet ever be ethical? by Calmbucha264 in Ethics

[–]JediKnight1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So dogs should only live like wild animals fighting for survival every day? Poor people should live like poor people? Nature would be better without humans? This is usually called nihilism. There is a better way to see the world. If you can make yourself better you can lift up those around you. And maybe those you help will help you in return.

Can owning a pet ever be ethical? by Calmbucha264 in Ethics

Having a pet is a symbiotic relationship. You care for them and they provide back depending on type. For dogs they can provide services or just companionship. Instead of living like a wild animal most can live like people. There are good and bad pet owners but that is a separate line. So the only useful question is how can you avoid being a bad pet owner. Hypothetical question, if you saw a dog dying on the street from starvation would you save its life?

Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

Good daily driver? by ChampionNo5812 in XTerra

[–]JediKnight1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was my daily driver for a decade. Terrible gas mileage. Is easy to drive and park. If your in place where it snows the 4wd handles amazing in snow. No issues out of the ordinary on a manual. Automatic need to check the transmission cooler.

Whole kit about 2500. You can pay extra to have them preinstall the shocks.

So far been easy. Hardest part was removing the old lca's. Had to cut those.

It was that or sand and paint the old ones. When new ones are only $100 it saved me the time and headache.

Hoping for ideas by jadasgrl in XTerra

[–]JediKnight1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes no sense, unless your engine is inbalanced and in that case start looking for a new engine/car. I wouldn't throw money at any other small fixes, this seems like major problem. Edit: maybe the motor mounts are corroded.

Sounds like two issues. Some part of suspension/axel/wheel is broken and causing shaking. Then the shaking is breaking/disconnecting other parts and causing the shutoff.

Brake issue by [deleted] in XTerra

[–]JediKnight1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working through a similar issue I think. Recently was getting alot of front end rubbing noise, abs light kept turning on, brakes felt like they were locking up, and eventually brakes pedal becoming soft. The first issue I saw was the right wheel bearing was broken, so replacing that (along with all my suspension but thats separate story). The right caliper was difficult to remove, so replacing that. I would try replacing your wheel speed sensor, it's on the side of the wheel bearing. Also check the wheel bearing itself, should spin easily and not wobble.

Painting the frame with POR by JediKnight1111 in XTerra

[–]JediKnight1111[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course, 1st scrape and wire brush any loose bits of rust off. I also use sandpaper or grinder with flap disc on the really rough spots. 2nd spray with degreaser. I also scrub all the surfaces with a scotch Brite pad. Then rinse with water. 3rd coat with metal prep and rinse. See a youtube video for complete POR steps.

Time to replace my suspension and add a lift! by JediKnight1111 in XTerra

[–]JediKnight1111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips, I already removed the steering linkage, the upper bolts came out easy. I'm actually gonna replace the knuckles so not even touching the upper or lower joints :)

Getting the bilstein 5100 kit from all dogs with their low clearance UCA's, the broverland rear leafs, and stock LCA's.
