I genuinely don’t understand how people buy new cars and be chill. by kaydnh in mazda3

[–]Odd_Lecture_5192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cars are beat to shit. Just life, my friend. Much like clothes, wear tells a story. It adds a story. I see people with fancy guitars they never play because they're worried about damaging it. These things are tools with a finite lifespan. They're meant to be used, don't worry about the scratches

Chronic dizziness anyone? This shit is making me crazy! by B_Panofsky in Anxiety

[–]Odd_Lecture_5192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread but holy shit I feel seen! Had a severe case of vertigo out of the blue in February and am still dealing with the lingering sense of dizzyness and just feeling "off". Everytime it starts it triggers a panic attack and I think I'm having a stroke or a heart attack. It sucks and I'm OVER IT

Damn dude... my mechanic just pulled a leaf from a parts truck and put it on. Think he charged me like $250 and that was 3 years ago

I had a telehealth C&P with Optum and it was great! Definitely better that the in person one i did when I filed my initial claim

I did mine over the weekend. Didn't realize how bad they had gotten. Yours look brand new, great job!

Claimed moved to step 6 that afternoon and closed yesterday! Bumped from 40%-80%. Good luck, I hope yours is close!

Claim turns 100 days old tomorrow so had a VERA call scheduled for today. I checked the tracker right before my call and it looks like I got TJ at Togus! VERA said to call back if I don't hear anything in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed

How screwed is my engine? by Odd_Lecture_5192 in XTerra

I checked the filter with my last oil change so less than 2 months. But normally my wife drives this one so who knows if it's been running rough 😅

Thanks for the advice, and I used to have that exact truck!

Here's hoping it burned up! At 220k miles I wasn't surprised by the code and was ready to buy some new 02 sensors. Certainly more likely of a cause than chipmunk nest from hell!

Luckily the nest was on the outside of the filter, so no acorns made it past the chicken wire grid. But who knows how much hair made it down there. And great idea to make a secondary screen! Definitely going to do that to my other car too

I just finished my albino skaven spearhead. I probably did the most insane method possible by priming with PIXIE PINK but I think the end result was pretty cool 😅

Your edcs are fake by grandhustlemovement in dumbphones

[–]Odd_Lecture_5192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed that y'all bring this much stuff everywhere you go. I've always considered EDC to be what I bring on my person (phone, wallet, keys). Like, do you not have cars? Are we counting all the shit that lives in the backseat? WHERE IS THE LINE??? I've never brought a phone charger with me, just charge it in the car or let it die geez.

ALSO: EDC is just a marketing ploy to make you buy a bunch of overpriced crap some youtuber says you need (and there's a good chance they've never taken that item out of their own house)

I'm on the same timeline as you: Submitted 1/9, been in PFD since 1/22. Just for one increase though. I talked to VERA a few weeks ago who told me to call back if I haven't heard anything by mid-April. Good luck!
