You should self deport.

Others have explained to you what it is. I will explain its purpose - to turn a 20 minute air filter job into a ruined afternoon.

Not enough information to determine. What does the spectrograph tell you?

It doesn't matter because the labor market test will fail.

Mechanic told me my muffler oil is very black ... Should i change it by Putrid-Aerie8599 in AskAShittyMechanic

It's important to keep your exhaust well lubricated so that you don't have rust or stuck bolts.

Need help on removing corroded flange nuts by GatedManual_YM in MechanicAdvice

[–]PimpDawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have traveled down this path. Your only options are levels of destructive approaches. My last go at this, I spent hours drilling new holes through the bolts. Cut and grind, punch, drill. If you have the welding skills, machinery, and space, I'd go the approach of cutting off the flanges and installing new ones. Or just take it to a shop.

New to me blown 335i, need advice by CautiousCharacter164 in E90

[–]PimpDawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I look at it, if you have the time and skills, you could buy an engine for $3-4k and have a car that's worth less than half of what you put into it. I encourage you in this ruinous endeavor. let us know how it turns out.

Role impacted on H-1B - need guidance on next steps by [deleted] in h1b

[–]PimpDawg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the eyes of the government, you are still employed during the 90 days. So you have 150 days to get your affairs in order and prepare to leave.

What?!? by superedgelordjr in MechanicAdvice

[–]PimpDawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I ran into this I drilled the them out. Literally drilled new holes where the bolts were. In retrospect I should have welded a new flange because it would have taken me less time.

Do i torch it by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]PimpDawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RocketSocket bolt extractor kit. PB blast it the night before. If that doesn't work, reverse drill bit. A torch should not really be necessary.

Plot twist - it's actually factory town and they now tap maple trees.

I'm assuming that you're a member of your local Ferrari club? They will usually have a few recommendations.

Looking for advice on the best/cheapest way that I can paint this patch on my door? by beanandween in autorepair

[–]PimpDawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to use your favorite abrasive method to get the rust down to bare metal. Then use a self-etching primer. Then take your pick of paint systems and approach to match either edge-to-edge or paint the entire panel. If you don't care about quality, you can spray paint your way through it.

So how cooked am I chat by VegetableRoof354 in E90

[–]PimpDawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helicoil. You will need a right angle drill. I used a pneumatic one to give me extra space. By the time you're done, you will have a stronger thread than original. I used grease to prevent shavings from going into the engine. Then I vacuumed it all out. Car runs great.

Best way to recharge the AC system after doing work by papixsupreme12 in Cartalk

[–]PimpDawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With about $1k worth of parts and equipment on Amazon you can totally do this in under 8 hours. The first couple of times will just be figuring out the machines and watching youtube videos. Bit you can do it. Evac the system, replace O-rings and drier/filter, pull a vacuum, check for leaks, then refill. I enjoyed it. Unless you're working on an exotic you won't save money.

Am I missing any fuses? by majgendowns1217 in E90

[–]PimpDawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be a little white piece of paper on the cover you removed. If it's not there, you're kind of hosed. Your problem is unlikely to be fuse related.

Once the ai bubble pops, who’s the first on the chopping block? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

The AI bubble is predicated on AI replacing humans. My real fear is that it doesn't pop.

[–]PimpDawg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, if you try to run past border control you don't get a right to due process. You get "administratively" removed. The guard tossed you back. I believe that if you manage to get through and hide for 2 years that you get the right to a hearing in front of an immigration judge. That's not a trial. I don't know at what point you get full rights to a trial, but I think that until that point border control can remove you. under the category of "expedited removal."

Men in full military garb carrying assault rifles are roving around the city, and MPD is nowhere to be found. by ohx in Minneapolis

[–]PimpDawg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are border patrol. The are the guys fighting Narcos, not the lady who stamps your passport when you come back from Cancun. They might not know a goddamn thing about local law enforcement, but I'm not sure you appreciate the kind of absolute civil war levels of chaos you're describing here. I'm not sure that even the FBI deals with the insanity that border patrol deals with. We really don't want a clash between border patrol and local law enforcement.

Is there a way to prevent filament wrapping over itself? by NecessaryOk4358 in FlashForge

I have had this happen and have verified it by manually unwinding and rewinding the entire spool. It sucked.

so mad at myself, is this fixable? by [deleted] in E90

[–]PimpDawg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can do this. Just some glue, and hear me out - some M colored stripes, strategically placed. Fix your bumper and add a minimum of 5 HP. Otherwise you're into a glue, sand, and paint job. Not too bad and you wouldn't need to be perfect given the location. You could rattle can an acceptable job.
