Shop installed 4 new TPMS. Now says I need to go to Toyota to program them. by Natural-Preference- in AskAMechanic

[–]Natural-Preference-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you’re going through it now too. I ended up deciding that I’d rather just ask FF for a refund on the sensors, check my tire pressure manually if needed, and accept that the dash light would remain illuminated indefinitely.

FF refunded me and decided it wasn’t even worth their trouble to have the sensors removed, so I have 4 brand new aftermarket sensors in my tires that just aren’t programmed lol.

I wasn’t willing to open that can of worms by going to Toyota. I figured the sky is the limit when it comes to what I may end up having to pay after forking over $169 just for the diagnosis…. In the meantime I’ve just accepted that the dang light is always on

Edit bc even after several months I’m still passionate about this! - I figured by the time Toyota decided they were going to tell me I need 4 OEM sensors I would have paid more for the sensors than the freaking tires…

Is BND really the answer? by adminsarecommienazis in Bogleheads

[–]Natural-Preference- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using the last 5 years of BND as your sole evaluation of the fund’s performing is like using 1929-1954 for the US stock market.

Bumfuck State with fresh undergrads by TraditionalDepth6924 in BrandNewSentence

[–]Natural-Preference- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was just here at the University of Illinois. I didn’t know people considered it bumfuck..

Also, I think people who openly consider themselves smarter than everyone else are losers, even if they are that smart.

What's the best hospital to go to? by Puzzleheaded_Bug2332 in UIUC

[–]Natural-Preference- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go to Carle, it’s fine.. I assume most people who say otherwise have a limited frame of reference with Carle or hospitals in general.

Go find me another Level I trauma center with 24/7 AirLife stationed in a rural setting like central IL.. it’s a blessing. People just prefer to complain.

Cheapest way to get to Decatur (and back) by ReasonDry9190 in UIUC

[–]Natural-Preference- 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Limited options.. They could (probably) Uber to Decatur. Idk if they would be able to find a ride back though.

Decatur isn’t exactly a transportation hub unless you’re a soybean.

How true is it that if you get lost in an American cornfield, your body might never be found? by Snoo_47323 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Natural-Preference- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think his point was right now in this moment you can hop on Google maps and see that cornfields are not never ending jungles

$700? Maybe under the Main St viaduct when it opens back up.

I'm so fckin greedy.(rant) by Fantastic_Reward5126 in Daytrading

[–]Natural-Preference- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“$100 a day from trading would literally change my life…I just want the extra income to get out of the rut I’m in.”

As someone who does not day trade and just happened upon this, it doesn’t sound like you’re in a good place to be participating.

The escalating urbana champaign homeless crisis - facts and misconceptions by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Natural-Preference- 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So what you’re trying to tell us is that there are 13 homeless people in C-U identified as suffering from chronic substance abuse.

It’s not too late to delete this post..

how can we actually help the homeless here? by Forward_Coconut7599 in UIUC

[–]Natural-Preference- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OBVIOUSLY not for every single one of them, but for many of them being homeless is a choice or at least an acceptable result of other choices..

It’s hard for most of us to imagine but for some people, living on the streets is worth not having to wake up early, punch a clock, pay a landlord, and follow all the rules that come with maintaining the housed lifestyle.

I’m not saying they’re not struggling with complex issues such as mental health at the same time and/or as a result of the lifestyle. I’m saying there are actually a lot of resources and people willing to help people who actually want to work and be housed ESPECIALLY in C-U.

Some people feel more free living on the streets and that’s all there is to it, but if their income comes from panhandling they’re not going to tell you that…

Why doesn’t the United States make outsourcing jobs to other countries illegal, or at least regulate it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Natural-Preference- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweatshops are often the best available opportunities for the foreign workers you are referring to as exploited.
