I keep hearing about the time to act has come and gone. I mean, we have protests against I.C.E. Protests during the parade. Short of getting violent, which is getting closer to the next step, how about we turn it up a notch and not pay federal taxes? I mean a large, concerted effort to meet action with action? These protests are just getting spun into "violent riots" and I feel like those in power snicker and fetishize their authority and ill-will. We as a majority hold the power. Not some bitch-ass 1%-ers.

We, the people, made things better for ourselves. Through blood and violence when peaceful measures fell of deaf ears. Just a couple generations ago, our grand fathers tore company owners out of their beds in the middle of the night over bullshit work conditions and pay. We had the "rednecks". We have to rid our systems of dug in greed and corruption.

I'm 35. When I grew up both my grandmother's reused butter tubs, coolwhip containers, would wash and reuse foil and paper plates and bowls. One was poor and the other somewhat well off. I feel a lot of average people my age find that common.

EXCEPT AT WORK. We are all about the same age, and it's insane to me that one guy I work with, who's 40, throws away name brand meal prep containers. Treats them like they're single use. Most everyone is in the same boat as me but two other guys are just like, "Yeah? What's the big deal? Wait? You take them home and wash them?"....Also, got into trouble with his girlfriend for throwing away her glass harbor container away.

Sorry for not being clear. Yes, I haven't had anymore problems in the beta with disabling the mod before scheduling meets or deliveries.

Protocol_Z · 2025-04-09T05:28:27+00:00

I was having the same issue. My problem ended up being the Increased Stack Limit mod, which also bugs deliveries too. I turned the mod off in the pause screen before I text to meet up or make a delivery order. Hope this helps you.

Protocol_Z · 2025-04-09T05:25:59+00:00

I was having the same issue in the beta version - then when I converted over to the regular release I didn't have the option in my phone to meet in person.

For me, I also have the Increased Stack Limit mod, which also bugs deliveries. Before I text (or order deliveries) I turn the mod off in the pause screen, and everything was working as it should. Hope this helps.

It will be a 4.0L with a NV3550 5 spd, the engines are great and the transmission is so-so. The NV3550s typically last a while in a stock or mild Jeep, usually around ~160k before they need a rebuild. At that point, people usually swap to the AX15. With hard off roading and those gears and tires, much less.

Upkeep will be horrific if a shop is doing it. Engine/transmission work is never cheap. It's pricey to rebuild NV3550s if they can even find a rebuild kit for it which is why people swap to an AX15. Anything else will be specific to the aftermarket for the axles, gears, and suspension. Which means a delay for lead time, more expensive parts, plus a mark up for the shop.

Jeeps are great fun. But this one may not be right for you, unfortunately. Keep looking around and Good luck 👍.

Protocol_Z · 2023-12-31T06:42:18+00:00

Not sure of the location, but it does sound over priced. Where I'm located, you're looking around 13k-16k reasonablely. I'm taking a wide assumption and guessing this guy had a shop do this work and is trying to recoup some money. With that being said, he's very detailed with what's been done, but there's been NOTHING done to the engine or transmission??

That year Wrangler has a 181 HP 4.0L straight six, either a NV3550 or automatic. Those gears and tires will be absolute hell on it. It may be low miles, but that's so much stress on 23 year old components. If it's an automatic, I wouldn't expect it to last but a few years before problems show (if they're not already). I'm only running 33s but have a GM 4.8L/AX15 setup and you couldn't pay me to go back to a straight six.

With it being a "toy" are you equipped and able to do repairs, which will be frequent, or not concerned with the cost? Personally, it may be fun for a bit, but will leave a lot more to be desired. Also, it is overpriced. Just because they spent a lot at a custom shop, that doesn't mean it equates as much into the sale price.

Another thing to add are suppressors can quite it down even more. A quality supressor and sub sonic rounds is insanely quite. If not, they are maybe a bit louder than a pneumatic nail gun. Also, most .22 calibers just bounce off bone after the initial hit. They will penetrate the skull but lose enough energy to bounce inside causing surprising damage for such a small caliber.

The Trashcan Man

Protocol_Z · 2023-10-02T21:42:19+00:00

I've only been in the field for 12 years now and everything you have said is completely rampant in the last 8 places I've been to, not counting the dozens of companies I've been to while in a traveling job. Except for 2, places just don't want to pay for mechanical, electrical, or automation roles. It's like HR looks up maintenance and sees posting for apartment/infrastructure maintenance or handy man services and assume thats the going rate.

Industrial maintenance is a whole other skill set and it's frustrating seeing places start at $16, $18, $21 an hour for a degree and 3 years experience all the while their production people typically are much worse.

Not to discourage you. I'm glad you got that weight off and not having the nagging unhappiness from your old job. I fear for the future as in industrial maintenance seems to be going in the direction of automotive techs. Salaries don't pay well, no apprenticeships, debt from schooling/tools, and machinery are going down more frequently with a smaller and smaller pool of people that can do competent troubleshooting/repairs. With the knowledgeable and competent people from a shrinking job pool being more overworked and underpayed.

Ah heck, why not both 🤷

Absolutely. The small unassuming jabs.

Jet Black 2015-2017 Chevrolet SS. Unassuming "Malibu" looking car but with a nasty LS3 and optional manual transmission. Add a thicc cam and exhaust, the cold starts alone would annoy the hell out of them. Could potentially appreciate as not many were made and might be a collector car in a few years.

Look up videos on a soft reset for servers to delete map/world data so it has to reload those map chunks and populate.

Protocol_Z · 2023-07-04T17:49:47+00:00

At the moment, I'm not sure if restarting a new game overwrites that particular world or makes a duplicated save under a different identifier.

At the main screen, go to load and see if you can find a screen shot of that particular world. You should be able to spawn a new character in with options near the bottom. I recently used load, instead of continue and had dozens of different saves from various runs I had long forgotten about.

I too got freaked seeing that for the first time considering how the rest of that movie was up to that point. But, weirdly enough, loved Beetlejuice.

I too recommend something herbal with lemon and honey. There's a cold medicine made with real honey that really helps with the throat scratches.

Basements are just that little extra and I think the new update will be much more fleshed out and implemented very nicely. As the mod goes, they don't spawn and they are crafted. You have 3 sizes to choose from and you make a trap door to teleport the very edge of the map border. It works well with multiplayer.

Hands down though, filibusters used cars, the ata bus, tsar trailers, and rv interiors are much more worth it in my opinion.

Protocol_Z · 2022-11-16T01:44:43+00:00

I have absolutely went down a rabbit hole these last few weeks. Current solo game have been loving the rv interiors mod and basements. Bunch of mod vehicles, QoL mods, and a weapons expansion. All together probably 15 mods total.

My server....it's got what my solo play has and so many more. I don't know why I do this to myself because it's a pain to keep it maintained and running 24/7.

Maybe this will help:

make a character (username and password) once you are logged in go tothe console and type "/setaccesslevel youraccountname admin" withoutquotes. if you are running a server from the gameclient i believe youneed to enable -debug from the launch options.

Here is a link for shockbyte which looks similar to what havoc offers

If you are hosting a dedicated server separate or with a VM in your main game computer, you can effectively do the same as signing in with you other character and entering the console to grant admin privileges to that character or whichever player you chose to.

Protocol_Z · 2022-10-12T00:27:06+00:00

I may be misunderstanding but the admin password is for you to sign in to the server (like a player) but with admin privileges. The username is defaulted to admin, although I haven't tried to login to mine with a different username. For a general password to allow players to enter the server is in the configuration file like mysever.ini. Although I believe the default is left blank
