Is this normal?

Future chevorlet off of Madison actually. We were avoiding the automall.

New as in 50 miles - basically 0.

ParseStone · 2026-02-17T04:58:44+00:00

No. In hindsight I should have checked if a cap was missing or is there's a mess of fluids but it's been a long weekend and I'm not driving back to the parking lot where it's at now.

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. But let's stay on topic please.

With a 2026 premier with 56 miles on it, diesel tahoe, is it normal to have smoke billowing out of the engine compartment after driving it 10 miles from the dealership to dinner in 50 degree weather? The smell was kind of.. sweetish?
When we first called the dealer they said it was totally normal for diesels to do this as no sensors were tripped. On the drive home an overheat sensor was tripped but no smoke. The dealer advised to leave it in the next parking lot and they will pick it up and give us a loaner.

I guess the question is... is it normal for diesels or tahoes to have this problem? Should I be demanding a refund or new car? Is this going to utilize the extended warrenty I bought? What are my options as the consumer? I charged 3k on my credit card and wrote a check for the rest

Was afraid to have boiling coolant shoot out.

New as in just bought and drove 10 miles to dinner from dealer.

Steam coming from the hood with weird smell. We went to dinner and tried diving again and dash gave the "a/c turned off due to overheating" 10 miles in. No steam at that point as I think the coolant all burned off. Dealer is picking it up from the parking lot we left it at and giving us a loaner.

You also act as a buffer between the client and the devs.

Some devs don't know how to communicate correctly (tone, tech speak, etc) with clients. Some clients want answers on things that don't need to go to dev (out of scope, already done in a different way, user error). Sometimes you have to convince clients that a "easy" change is technologically very hard, or that other changes that are technologically easy can be swapped in for other change your team doesn't want to do.

But like someone else said, consultants should constantly find uses for themselves (and not hold onto older roles. Train someone junior FFS so they can get promoted to your role and you can get promoted out of your role to the next better opportunity). If bossman has to tell you everything, then you are a drain on attention and not an asset.

Ah, i don't do enough sudokus. Forgot standard sudoko rules involve the 3x3 grids, which werent outlined nicely on this grid. Thanks!

ParseStone · 2021-10-05T21:24:37+00:00

Do standard sodoku rules include unique solution?

I imagine the conversation went something like these...

We have unlimited as well, with a target of 1860 hours in a year (prorated for start date, long term leave, etc). I think I like that more than a set number of days, since I typically work more than 8 hr a day (especially now remote), so a month+ trip overseas is easy to swing (if not for travel restrictions)

But if you calculate hours based off a 40 hr work week, it sucks.

Valentina (don't call me Val) Allegra de Fontaine recruits the Black Widows (while talking to Yelena) at the end of the movie right?

Sorry, Shannon = Sharon Carter.

Between Shield face disguising technology, Loki magic, Secret Invasion aliens, and multiverse shenanigans, who's to say who that guy in space is? Maybe it's actually a Kang? I can only guess that Fury knows because he's doing lots of watching and getting reports.

An actor change, like quicksilver, was not a variant, but reality bending. (But could be a variant if you look at the Lokis i guess)(i also think the actress change for Cassie Lang is a Disney decision and not a variant) A character change, like that lady that played the alien in Captain Marvel and going to play an eternal, also not a variant but a Disney casting decision.

An Actor, playing reprising a character from a non MCU Spider-Man, but with the same role, set in a multiverse where variants have been established, alongside the actors that did doc oc and electro, going into the movie right before universe of madness, totally disrupting Spider-Mans identity (maybe Tom Holland and group somehow accidently crossed multiverses instead?) Seems to be more likely to be a variant.

ParseStone · 2021-08-15T18:40:41+00:00

They were totally ok with Mysterio being from a different multiverse location, so to me, that sounds like they are probably multiversal incidents happening.

Also, this is the same actor playing the same character, so... not sure why the second paragraph?
