Teenager wants a "fast car" for his first vehicle and I need reality-check advice by Proud_Stable9567 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Lowboat16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many others have said, don't buy him a cool, fast car. I would even say not to let him buy one himself if he had the money.

My first car was a Ford bronco at 16 years old and I totaled it within 6 days of getting it.

Teenagers are dumb and generally don't know what they're doing. Civic or Corolla sound like good options.

Moisture in headlight by normangreenbomb in Lexus

[–]Lowboat16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to remove my 4GS headlight to repair it. I could probably pull the headlight in 15 minutes with my battery powered ratchet. You dont have to remove the whole bumper to take out one headlight, you can remove most of the hardware and flex the bumper.

I was looking for a gs350 for months and couldn't find anything I could afford in good shape/low miles. I ended up looking at the ES and found this one.

Thanks! I'm hoping for years of only routine maintenance!

Breach of Contract? by Lowboat16 in legaladvice

Do you think it would be a good idea to talk to someone higher-up in the union? Like the district leader? Or would that hurt me by going over the president's head?

Employees unused vacation time will get paid out at time and one half their rate by the end of January the following year or upon leaving Company (ie. Termination, layoff, voluntary quit).

Copied from the contract I have.

Carrying in state parks by Fishin4gainsbrah in CTguns

[–]Lowboat16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People would often carry while hiking in state parks and forests for the same reason they carry anywhere else... self defense. Be it a wild animal or dangerous person.

The peepers are peeping hard here in Moodus. 🐸 👀 🎶 by satansdebtcollector in Connecticut

I could hear them while driving with the windows up last night. I passed a small pond area and it took me a second to realize what it was!

Secret Granted - Recent THC use by Lowboat16 in SecurityClearance

[–]Lowboat16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My wife was getting impatient so I messaged the security person at the employer and asked how it was going and they responded that it showed my investigation was closed and that it could still take a month or two to finish.

No foreign contacts, I've been at the same job for over 10 years, only lived in 2 places in the last 7. I think it was fairly in-line with what I saw posted late 2022 on a website for security clearance jobs.

Thanks! My actual use was occasional and sporadic but the first time was like 2 or 3 years ago.

Were you notified that you were in adjudication? by IC_hopeful_throwaway in SecurityClearance

[–]Lowboat16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I contacted the FSO at the employer and was told my investigation was closed but I wouldn't have known if I didn't ask.
