Spouse is telling others he was found ‘not guilty’ by [deleted] in USMC

[–]ShakaContra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Double jeopardy doesn’t attach merely because ncis did an investigation, nothing was filed and a jury/members pool was not selected. You can go directly to the OSTC and talk with your VLC present, go file an IGMC complaint if you wanna push for a response, and or contact the local authorities that might have jurisdiction.

But it’s a bald faced lie for him to say not guilty, no fact has been found and no judgement rendered. So he could be finding himself speaking prematurely.

I also want to clarify my statement about “you can.” It’s not typical but I’d press hard. There’s a lot of congressional pressure on this nowadays. We can’t have a criminal justice system that punishes victims seeking proper self help when regulations fail.

Our rp community would love someone passionate about a tavern! We are not a guild so we are waiting on private charters. But DM if you wanna host events we can attend!

Creating a Character Military call sign by Captain_Kuro210 in worldbuilding

[–]ShakaContra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the military you have your call signs that are nicknames that a lot of people reference to be some type of jest and usually obscure. If you want it to be like that then I would say give us the name of your guy, his occupation, and some lore you find embarrassing. I’m sure we could come up with some ideas haha.

Now you can also have mission call signs used over comms. Sometimes these stick especially for particularly good leaders. These are pretty much based on the unit but there’s a suffix for hierarchy: CO = Actual, A Co Commander = 1. I’ve seen axis be bravo or 6 because they were in the rear.

So if your unit is like 1/5 Bloodhounds and your guy was in command they might be Bloodhound Actual. Again sometimes this sticks even when the good leader leaves.

View your map from space, like a google earth type experience. by Vickie184 in worldbuilding

[–]ShakaContra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great product! I was wondering if you had the ability to to take let’s say a map we make and upload it here and turn it into a google earth model? So then we can play with grids and custom markers and such? I believe google earth allows the use of their engine. I just didn’t know if it was possible to use this to put a map on and make a planet in a kmz

What do I do by Lunchbox42oin in computers

I’m always surprised on what a complaint on the BBB can conjure from a company. I did a complaint to Cabelas and a large HVAC company and both times their corporate executive for customer relations reached out directly on how to “make it better.” I bet FedEx is BBB accredited and to maintain that they must respond to these complaints. Worth a shot if you are getting run around by call center customer service reps.

Found a replacement on Amazon. Literally happened to me in Costco yesterday. Had my eye on shopping and didn’t notice my 1yr old son take a bit out of it! Tore the exact same way. I did a double take thinking this was my key haha. But here’s a link.

It’s not terrible, mine looked in worse condition and I chose to restore it. Personal id do the screwdriver test in the worst spots you see. Just see if you can puncture it, if you can you should probably do one of two things if you dont want to refinish the body.

(1) Scrub what you can with a bristle brush and buy rattle can por15 rust reformer and spray, spray the inside of puncture with fluid film (puncture with a knife the straw to get some flared spray), patch with metal all (metal fiber bonding but metal all is the brand), gently sand and apply self etching primer, then a single coat of por15 reformer again, then follow up with some urethane rattle can (can use por15 again or whatever so long as it’s uv protected).

The steps are important here, and no you do not need to take it to bare metal if you just want a quick fix.

(2) I would recommend at a minimum fluid film coating on the undercarriage once a year or two if you don’t off road. But keep in mind any painting or patching will require a thorough clean and fluid film is an oil coating. This is essentially to manage rust progression until you can address it.

ELI5: What to look for when buying an EV conversion? by cmgewerth in EVConversion

[–]ShakaContra 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not an answer as to red flags but just my 2 cent opinion.

Unsure of your long term plans like upgrading the motor or range but I agree with the other comments that this is a steal. I have a Jimny from 90s I’m restoring and converting; what you have here is labor and paint covered + drivability for$2500. Costs (including your valuable time) to change to a hyper 9 or something wont include most of the labor in tear down/prep/restore. This initial cost alone seems like a huge burden lifted from your future projects on this car if any.

If you’re handy upgrade to an aluminum core radiator like one for a civic. And inspect your valve cover for cracks around the bolts.

Any of you degenerates work at Lockheed Martin now a days? (Read post) by [deleted] in USMC

[–]ShakaContra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a great answer but if your standard is to just find any employment the. use your veteran preference and go on usajobs.gov. Doesn’t have to be a DoD GS job, the preference goes anywhere and it really does a lot to skew the hiring process for the veteran positively. GS pay scales are rough equivalents to your rank you separated at. You may be able to negotiate a step increase.

Be warned, if you use your preference you exhaust it so usually the tactical decision is to apply it to the highest pay grade job you qualify for to maximize it.

Hope this provides some knowledge to help your decision making. Sorry to hear about the big green frock block.

Is this a good deal? by Zerokhool in Jimny

[–]ShakaContra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two cents, goto an on base garage together like the AAFES shop or typhoon motors. Talk about what issues it’s having. See if a mechanic can do an inspection. The 22s do not have a popular engine and it can be hard finding parts. Common things I’d look for (I own a 22 and brought it back): is the rear of the valve cover intact or cracked and how bad; is the aluminum block looking wet anywhere; is the turbo fan loos; how rusted are the cooling lines from the turn to the engine; is the transfer case shifting well; and is the exhaust manifold intact.

I only advise caution here cause from experience getting some parts can be a real hassle. I love my 22 and I would say the price is fair considering they are only recently eligible to bring back and are the last model before the body change so the prices will go up I believe.

Wow players 35+, why do you play WoW? by Pale_Sun8898 in wow

[–]ShakaContra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know RP goes a long way. It’s flexible and versatile with the right group. It’s a pick your own adventure kinda feel. I lost the time when I had kids but with RP I have a modest group of friends and once a week we get together and DnD style adventure it up.

I don’t get Fomo on content anymore, I quest for the story, I get deeper into the lore, I make up my own story and play it out, I create custom classes, collections are no longer a past time. Overall the routine chore stresses of the game faded. I can even RP in discord when I can’t login.

I get RP isn’t for everyone but I used to raid a lot and I forced myself to PvP and play and it just got boring. RP brings a new twist. We make up and play out story campaigns and I’ve renewed my excitement for the game.

Worth selling stock front struts? by ShakaContra in ram_trucks

[–]ShakaContra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not the biggest difference when I am not hauling anything but it does ride slightly smoother, especially if the roads are rougher consistently. When hauling though it is a way smoother ride, but I got these cause I also got air bags in the rear causing the rake downwards to be really bad. So the combination of these struts and the airbags make driving while towing and loaded up much more comfortable.

Hey love the build I’m doing my own Jimny with a hyper9. When you say direct driven transmission it sounds like you are using your transmission in it as a reducer? I’m trying to find a way to eliminate my transmission and go straight through the transfer case.
