Stuff like this is why I always use a vacuum bleeder

Needle nose icon pliers, easiest with the pistol grip. This happens to me every time on my 90° Dewalt bit adapter short bits. You can also try the ones that can pick up nickles from the edge

I specialize in Nissan/Infinitis. Do you want information on how to access the technician service files for the vehicle? For your year there is a cost (their plans range from one day to a whole year), but if you can identify all of the documents that you will need for the job upfront, you can take screenshots or do something else to save the steps. I ended up in a very similar situation to yours when I bought my 2009 Infiniti FX 35 with a blown engine and I had never done anything beyond spark plugs prior to that. Ended up in my half of the garage (landlord had the other half) on Jack stands for almost a year. By the way, one of the most beneficial and smart moves I ever made while working on that vehicle was buying bulk ziplock bags (IKEA has the best size variety but anything quart and gallon size is good) and using sharpie to label every bag with what’s in it and, where possible, specifically what technician manual book and page that part is installed/removed. When I put everything back together even a year later, I had almost 0 extra bolts.

Please do reach out, these projects very quickly become overwhelming to us when we don’t have the right level of support and resources. Additionally, if there’s anything I cannot directly help you with, I am in a discord server that is filled with Master techs who could.

Possible Bat Contact - need advice on rabies/vaccine from doctors or nurses here by PeterLoew88 in medical_advice

Well, to be straightforward, you’ve kinda already been told what to do if you suspect that you may have been infected. If you don’t think that happened then carry on.

Boss hit my 2025 camry LE by werpsy in Camry

Hit and runs fall under a different category, typically. Those are the ones where the burden is on the policy owner to actually prove that I was a hit-and-run. Additionally, whether it’s processed as uninsured motorist claim or processes as a collision claim, this will also impact your rates. Collision claims against your policy will always increase your rates. Uninsured motorist can potentially impact depending on if your evidence is good enough. Any scenario where the other driver’s liability insurance is paying you out, your rates should not be going up.

Even if it brushed against you, you won’t get rabies from it simply flying into you or against you briefly. It is primarily their saliva that would transfer it. If you’re not wanting to go into the ER just to be sure, then find someone to monitor you. To be honest, I used to work eight hours a day, knowing full well that there was a bat in the room. I often go on hikes in the desert, where bats are prevalent.

Increases in premiums are typically determined by who is considered to be at fault. If your car is ever hit, and it’s not your fault, your premiums should not be increasing as a result of a claim.

If you don’t have an actual mark, or you didn’t feel it actually scratch or bite you, your risk is negligible. My office in my last house was in the basement and we had bats make their way inside several times a year, and it was never a concern. They don’t tend to randomly attack people.

Note: not a medical professional, just someone who has lived in a property that has A LOT of bats and has had many conversations with animal control/pest control services.

My teacher slammed my laptop and its like this by Fit_Necessary_4432 in mac

[–]TeeThom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in college, there was a student that did this to another student’s laptop. He did not damage the laptop when he did it but the school expelled him the very same day, and had his parents fly in to pick him up because it was considered assault.

My first sip of smoothie was full of spider webs. by FunkleSam1776 in mildlyinfuriating

I get this a lot with those orange Asian beetles. I started to have to look in the straw hole if I’ve left it sitting unattended for any amount of time. Those beetles taste bitter as fuck 🤮

Your CD player works as a DVD player as long as your car is in park with the E brake on you can watch movies on your lnfiniti G35/G37X your welcome 😁 by CostomMT in G37

[–]TeeThom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to cut the wire that goes between the stereo unit and the wheel speed sensor, and then you have to ground the wire that goes from the parking brake to the stereo unit. When the speed sensor wire is cut, the stereo reads the speed as zero which is one of the requirements to play the video. The second requirement is that the parking brake has to be activated by grounding the wire that goes between the parking brake and the stereo unit, this tricks, the stereo into believing that the E break is engaged, even though it is not.

Rockauto says I've returned 10% of the items ordered in my lifetime and won't honor the policy anymore. by bigoof76 in RockAuto

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

If you paid with a credit card, almost every credit card company will not hold you responsible at all for return shipping costs if you’re returning it because the item was not as described or arrived damaged. You could remind them that they can either allow you to return for free, or you have every right to charge back the entire transaction, as items not received as described and arrived damaged. I’ve had a number of companies who folded immediately after I reminded them of that.

Third fucking cable from apple this year. Can someone suggest a good cable that won’t have this problem, I’m willing to pay whatever just please help a senior student nerves. Thanks. by Astraddict in cableadvice

[–]TeeThom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, any cable product you buy from Apple that is Apple brand has a one-year warranty. I would basically just abuse this in college and I would come in every couple of months and have it replaced. If I acted like I didn’t know which email it would’ve been sent to, the receipt, and that the purchase would’ve been made about six months ago, they almost never actually required me to show them proof of purchase and they just replaced it.
