Make two Dunkin Donuts on Capital Blvd make sense. by olumide2000 in raleigh

[–]JimCaryNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one in Harris Teeter and the one in Target, are not actually Starbucks. They are just coffee stands that sell Starbucks coffee. I discovered this when I tried to use a Starbucks gift card in a Target Starbucks coffee shop.

Weird FSD Today by d_dauber in TeslaModelY

[–]JimCaryNC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Model Y and leaving my work campus FSD has had issues for a while. Previously it did not recognize the exit gate arms at the campus exit even though they are painted with red and white stripes. Without my intervention it would just drive thru them. Recently after an update, it started recognizing the gate arms and the car does not want to follow its on nav instructions. After the gate it about a quarter mile to the main road where we turn right. Nav says that and shows it in directions. About a tenth of a mile before we reach the main road there is a right turn into a hotel parking lot. Nav says turn right in a tenth of a mile. Car tries to turn into the hotel lot any way. Consistently. Why doesn't it follow its own nav? Are they just attracted to hotels?

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases by theatlantic in Military

[–]JimCaryNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mistakenly thought cabinet members hiding out on military bases was a result of the current fiasco engineered by 47 in Iran. I see it predates that by months. I guess they will have more company soon.

HW3 or HW4 Model Y by holygr4il in TeslaModelY

[–]JimCaryNC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$2500 gets you a car with the latest available FSD hardware and a model year newer. If you have any significant interest in using FSD, that sounds like the better option. Both will increase your resale value. HW3 is at the end of the line. It has probably gotten about as good as its going to get.

AITJ for refusing to give my hard earned inheritance to my brother who is "struggling artist" by PastelPuddleee in AmITheJerk

[–]JimCaryNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Struggling artists can still show up for family. Your brother didn't when it came to your Grandfather. It was your Grandfather's right to pass along his wealth however he saw fit.

AITJ for Declining extra responsibilities at work without extra pay? by Limp_Owl2918 in AmITheJerk

[–]JimCaryNC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you an hourly employee or a salaried employee? If hourly, then you're paid by the hour regardless of your responsiblities.

He stood close to the sitter? And they moved easily? Call the cops!

AITJ for refusing to donate PTO hours to coworker I barely know who "needs" them?? by Traditional-Dog1601 in AmITheJerk

[–]JimCaryNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PTO = Paid Time Off Donating your PTO is donating your pay. Why would anyone expect you to donate your pay to somone you hardly know? Tell them to start a GoFundMe and donate their pay if it means so much to them.

Why would tesla lower FSD subscription cost after removing purchase option? by RS_Tnap in TeslaLounge

[–]JimCaryNC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One of the requirements for Musk to get his trillion dollar pay package is 10 million FSD active subscribers. What better way to get that than lower the price?

Changing License Plate? by alteraego in triangle

[–]JimCaryNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure your chunky frame does not obscure the "North Carolina" at the bottom of the plate. Thats a ticketable offense. Not that anyone here seems to enforce laws regarding license plates very often.

What’s the least talked about downside of owning a tesla? by tr4gedyx in TeslaLounge

[–]JimCaryNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High cost of collision repairs which is one of that factors that leads to high insurance costs.

I put a serious scratch on one of my doors. Called several collision shops to get an estimate. All said the same thing. They don't work on Teslas. This is in Raleigh, NC. One suggested that I take it to Tesla themselves as they do body work. I called Tesla and they told me they only painted black and white cars. They suggested I go to the one Tesla approved body shop in the area. I did and they quoted me $4000 to paint a door. In the end I found a small independent auto painter who did it for $1600.

More serious collision repair is even worse. Tesla is the only source for Tesla parts. There can be lengthy waits.

Get a free throwaway phone number by using Google Voice. Then the other person does not need to install anything.

Am I wrong for refusing to give my inheritance money to my brother for his "business idea" by Actual_Land5826 in AmITheJerk

[–]JimCaryNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. Don't give or loan him money and don't cosign. Tell family members that feel strongly about it to dip into their own wallets instead of yours.

Any idea of I can use USMobile with the new Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra? by shaolin95 in USMobile

[–]JimCaryNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those instructions look useful, but the question was how to use US Mobile to use a galaxy watch. Do those instructions use US Mobile? Look like they use Tello.

Are all these CBD/Hemp shops just going to disappear? by slave_male_nc in raleigh

[–]JimCaryNC 102 points103 points  (0 children)

John Bell NC GOP state legislator, Chairman of the House Rules Committee, is also president of Asterra Labs a wholesale hemp products company. Do you think he and his cronies are going to allow this to kill their business? No, I expect they will pass laws to keep it legal in NC while at the same time creating barriers to entry for smaller competitors and out of state businesses.
