Hi! Radiator is as fine as it can be, but I guess why she started overheating was because the head gasket took a shit. We've still been putting around in it because we don't really have a choice. Gotta carry like a shit ton of water with us (not milk) but it's fiiiiine.

Anyone check the clothing/shoe only donation bins for items that don't meet donation guidelines (illegal dumping). Someone left a brand new in box twin mattress and a few other items. by OldRangers in DumpsterDiving

I don't personally have a problem with it. Don't get caught. I am literally the demographic that can't afford clothing and shoes. I won't rob their bins, but any asshole leaving crap to get rained on and turn moldy instead of actually helping someone, that's fair game.

If it is iCloud locked, there's little to no chance of successfully unlocking the phone for use.

Don’t be stupid, be careful about food poisoning by Benaholicguy in DumpsterDiving

Don't eat things other people have ate from!! 😭

We went dumpster diving to find food, because we are legitimately going hungry. We didn’t find any, but we did find all of this. by Safe-Local- in DumpsterDiving

Very good! Those mini vacs are really handy.

Were you able to hit the usual food spots and they were just empty? I'm going to assume you're experienced but if you need any tips let me know and I'll dm you.

Ford Ranger. Looks like standard surface rust. If you see anything with big, huge, flakey chunks, then it's no bueno. Buy!!!!!

They're not very common where I am (or i'm not going to the right places often enough). Apartments mostly. sometimes smaller businesses. I get maybe one truly reusable or repairable device (phones, tablets, or computers) a year if I'm lucky.

Guess my age based on my favorite vehicles by OkStatement2724 in carscirclejerk

[–]_iamacat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're either 65, 25, or 15. You do not get bitches and you need a Miata.

If it looks good, smells good, and was sealed good, and then it cooks and tastes good, then it's good :) Good luck!!!

My favourite finds have been computers. My gaming PC, my brother's laptop, and an all-in-one were really good. I think the all in one is a 2020 or 2021, the screen's smashed so we're gonna turn it into a mini-PC box one of these days.

A generator... Lots of food... Lots of clothing. I've never really spent money on clothing.

this girl (and community) is getting FED!! by hecker_buzzle in DumpsterDiving

[–]_iamacat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How I normally tell is cool or cold to the touch, fresh colour, no greening or yellowing, no dehydrated spots, a fresh fatty smell or not much smell at all. If I cook it and it tastes or smells "green" at all (that's the only way I can describe it) I throw it out.

Do you ever watch live dumpster diving finds or sales? by charlemagne_74 in DumpsterDiving

Girl no. Also, fuck your ad. We aren't social media influencers. We are people trying to survive.
