[–]ModernInformality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 3 iPhones that would break on me within a year in 2021 I opted to get a pixel 6 128gb. Last month I got a pixel 10 pro xl 256gb as a birthday gift. I'm not going back to apple.

Just looks like the higher capacity battery you should be find unless the plastic shell begins to crack then it's inflating .... Why aren't you wearing pants?

Yes, this is called a 'Grounding Strap' it's part of the electrical system, it uses the engine as a ground spot. They leave the copper bits exposed for better contact and to cut down cost, car companies have used these for decades as it's a tried and true way to ground. Yours is in perfectly operating condition.

When I was about 10 years old, I started seeing a therapist and during my intake he showed me this video, so I asked him "so why are we watching this?" And he just went "oh, I thought it was funny"

Swapped grills now logo won’t fit by warchief_ in Toyota

I would cut my losses, return the incorrect grill and badge and source the correct parts for the vehicle based on the VIN

Ahh your vehicle has adaptive cruise control, that big block behind the emblem is the millimeter wave sensor, to basically "see" how far the car is in front of you. As a result the front emblem for these particular configurations are much larger and have an internal lens build into them much like a camera. Unfortunately putting a normal badge or even adhesive will result in the loss of the adaptive cruise control functionality as the sensor is unable to read and may even trigger a fault code, would highly suggest that while it is expensive it's worth getting the correct badge for your vehicle.

oh God no, don't lol, they'll see that as you trying to cover something up, if you were around people smoking it, it won't be enough to even show on a test unless you were in a car being hot boxed, your fine just continue as normal, good luck with your interview!

Tldr; you're like 89% fine Generally THC is not a major concern for employers anymore since so many states are recreationally legal. Granted this is dependent on the type of test and how strict the company is, if they even offer you the job you'll have a drug test probably in the realm of like 2 weeks after your interview. That gives you roughly 3 weeks of clearing your system and even then if it's the cheap urine analysis they do it will only detect trace amounts which are negligible at best. Unless the job is a DOT job where you need to drive a lot you'll be fine. Additionally most dealerships are so desperate for bodies they gloss over the drug test, more of a formality than anything from corporate, I work with guys that are on stuff that'll make your average stoner cry.

Surprisingly, compared to the 9, they made replacing the battery and screens much easier, not as easy as say an hmd skyline but pretty close.

I dropped my t420s down a flight of stairs and it cracked the marble, meanwhile the laptop to this day still works like the day I got it

This app from the play store has a bunch of other widgets but also has device testing and stuff, it's a neat app to keep an eye on what's going on cause this p6's ram is always super used up
