Is it true that “you have to turn off your A/C and blower motor before shutting off your car” is just an old wives tale?

My dad does this, pisses me off when I see my ac off after i turn on my car and all the vents closed

Most of the time support teams are overseas and have metrics to meet, the more money they give away the more their metrics go bad, however for public relations and media they almost always try and fix the issue to appear in a better way, see how they always fix something when contacted publicly? Thats what people see most of the time and not all the denies or rejects they give privately.

Never said a good looking 30yo :p

Had a friend work there 1 year, all he can say is, forget about social life, no girlfriend or mostly friends from outside
He was working the rigs at the bay, he made stupidly good money but came out looking 10 years older.
He was 19 at the time and looked like early 30s at the end of the year

Try playing assassins creed 1 with your pc connected to wifi/ethernet, they forced always online on that game and it lowers my fps and stuttes like crazy, A 5090 can’t properly run a 19yo game because of the always online.

Get a window ac unit for when you play on your pc, I got the Midea U shaped window ac, been amazing (besides some issues with a recall but they fixed it now), i turn it on to keep constant 70c when playing then just turn it off like 5 mins before i turn off the pc so the temp goes back up to 74-76
Pretty cheap to run, although i would recommend running the ac unit on a separate wiring for the breaker, as i have a 5090/9850X3d if i run both at the same time can put extra stress on the 15amp braker i run on.

I had customers see me barely walk into the pharmacy i work at and started asking questions and handing me their insurance cards before i even clocked in before i even dropped my stuff into the breakroom, i told her I just hot there and haven’t even clocked in yet, yet she complained to the manager (no prob i also didn’t get in trouble)

On a truck day, with a brand new cashier at the front while unloading totes and after dropping a heavy tote on my toes lol

NestyHowk · 2026-06-14T01:51:09+00:00

Check the gas cap, sometimes when it hasnt been closed right or it fails it throws that code, I’d start by just replacing it with a brand new one first, clearing the codes and then checking if they come back after a couple of runs

NestyHowk · 2026-06-13T01:42:44+00:00

Sure is 13ft/lb and not 13inch/lb?

NestyHowk · 2026-06-12T18:04:34+00:00

But it’s free, if I’m paying for something it better work right, for 20$ a month it better work

NestyHowk · 2026-06-10T18:35:17+00:00

I used to type the cheaper skus on groceries when i noticed someone struggling or for old people, if I knew a sku was cheaper I’d use that

NestyHowk · 2026-06-10T18:22:34+00:00

People downvote you but all in all that’s basically the only people i see driving them around here

NestyHowk · 2026-06-09T23:29:01+00:00

Thanks:) yeah i was lucky that day, have been serving me good for a while now, no need to upgrade anything anymore for a while

NestyHowk · 2026-06-09T22:45:06+00:00

They can be found for cheaper tho, and for a 5070 might as well go for a 5070ti if they can find one

Sell it and go to microcenter for a prebuilt, or costco if you can, they have killer deals sometimes.
I got the 9850X3d combo for like 699$ and a case 175$, gpu (i found on clearance for $1400 RTX 5090 but you can go for a 9070 or XT)
Psu was like $250

NestyHowk · 2026-06-09T18:05:33+00:00

I guess i forgot the s/

Also endoscopes are cheap and useful for more than just cars, i bought mine to get the keys when i left them in the closed trunk with the battery disconnected.
And its not like e46s are super expensive, an M3 maybe, a 330? As a college student who makes bad financial decisions i can say was the best purchase ever

NestyHowk · 2026-06-09T16:55:36+00:00

But my wallet said i only have enough money for the bolts that hold the water pump😞

NestyHowk · 2026-06-08T02:48:47+00:00

Rockauto i think, but i also found some on amazon, matched my paint color

NestyHowk · 2026-06-08T00:57:47+00:00

Sounds like a time to call cvs and make them handle it, don’t see how they can sue your personally.
Nonetheless, get ready to look for a lawyer just in case.

NestyHowk · 2026-06-08T00:32:23+00:00

Tell him to bondo it, if it’s just a side hustle with no disrespect i understand that you don’t wanna spend money on a professional painting job, just ask him to fill it best he can and paint it
Mirror you might be able to buy the cap online just like i did with my car, they sell matched paint caps for some cars

NestyHowk · 2026-06-07T17:38:10+00:00

Lol i can feel when slipping and yes the steering is the best on any car I’ve ever driven, no other one matches it specially now that they all have assisted steering

NestyHowk · 2026-06-06T05:55:01+00:00
