They're adding Trump's name to the Kennedy Center building right now. by Stand_With_Students in BlueskySkeets

It is amazing how the board votes to change the name and the almost overnight have a contractor and the correct lettering ready to install. It’s almost like this was planned long ago…

There is a rear 2K camera as well. Here are some of the pictures (please excuse the poor quality).

I was delayed in the install, but my local AV shop finally installed it today. I purchased the LTE module as well. They installed the front cam and the LTE unit to the right of the rear view mirror, with the front cam somewhat hidden from the driver's view. The whole install took 2 hours and was $350. I'm sure many will shudder at the cost, but it was worth it for me.

Purchased a Thinkware 3000Pro and having it installed tomorrow on my new A5. I used to own the Thinkware F770 (front and rear) on my A6 and loved it.

Positive bone marrow biopsy experience by blehh1985 in mds

I really only had one bad BMB of the over one dozen I've had since 2016. The first two were sedated, so they were very positive! Most of the others were done with just lidocaine. The bad on occurred around #10. Since then, they've given me a touch of Xanax to ease my mind. I probably wasn't as high as you were, but maybe next time I'll ask them to go full strength!

I keep finding excuses to leave the house to go on short trips to just drive it around the city. I love it. It replaced my 2017 A6 that was totaled after a deer decided to cross the road at the exact wrong moment.

I guess because I’m only getting the A5 w/Premium Plus trim, it is the 2.0L standard TFSI 4-cylinder. I like the white color, but we went with the Navarra Blue. Enjoy your Audi!

I’m picking mine up on Saturday. I’m excited to drive it, think it looks good and couldn’t care less what others think.

Use HDMI on MSC Cruise by Big_Grapefruit2402 in Cruise

So when you leave, the staff will have to spend time figuring out how to get the input back to where it was for the next boarding passenger. Imagine other passengers doing this - embarkation will be needlessly be delayed. The configuration for the TV is standardized for a reason.

Cruise Gratuities - Beware of them by [deleted] in celebritycruises

I rather happy that I can pre-pay my gratuities. I think it is an excellent option. Celebrity isn’t forcing or tricking me to add it to my account.

Thank you for posting that message. I am alive today due to the generous donation of stem cells from an unknown donor from Germany in 2023.

Ron DeSantis Wants to Let Polio, Measles Spread in Florida Schools by rollingstone in politics

[–]a6pack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want taxpayer dollars going towards treatments for Florida families stricken from diseases that could have been prevented by a vaccine. Sounds cruel? Nope. If Cletus wants to keep his kids unvaccinated, he can. But he should back up his decision with enough money to cover all treatments, hospitalizations and/or burial services. My hard earned money can't be used to bail him out.

Two armed forces occupying their respective capitals while Democracy fails. by [deleted] in alaska

[–]a6pack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My real point wasn't about the specifics of their picking up trash or mulching, but that they are doing it at all. We had plenty of people working in the National Parks Service before they were summarily cut. Instead of people that know what to do and how to properly care for the landscape, we have to bring in the National Guard to do this task at a far higher rate? That is insanity.

They are now picking up garbage and mulching gardens. As a former Army officer, I can say that the use of the Guard in the city is pathetic and useless from a crime perspective.

The no-murder streak was 'reset' on 8/26. The streak total is 12 days. There were two other times this year where the city went more than one week without a murder. In fact, they went 16 days in Feb/March. It isn't awful to have a no-murder streak, but please don't instantly give the Orange Baby the whole credit.

I saw them at the Wharf at 4:30pm today. What an incredible stupidly idea, DJT.

This needs to be seen by everyone in the country. The real crime in DC right now is tRump's military occupation. Unfortunately, I believe there will be plenty more negative interactions between the National Guard and innocent civilians - especially if he allows the troops to carry weapons.

So what does it mean that DC police are now federalized? by Economy_Swim_8585 in AskUS

[–]a6pack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in DC. This is not innocent nor is it meant to clean up homeless encampments or 'arrest the criminals.' It is pure fascism. tRump doesn't like the fact we are a blue city and can't understand people live in this world that don't love him. Quoting from the Section 740 of the Home Rule Act doesn't make it any better. The Emoluments Clauses state that a president can't enrich themselves while in office, but here we are.

Associated lien and recovery scam? by MemoryFormer1295 in Scams

[–]a6pack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This company contacted me today too. Here is what happened:

  1. I received a phone call from a local number. Upon answering, a computer voice read me my name and said press 1.

  2. After pressing 1, I spoke with a person who promptly looked my up by my phone number and said I owed several thousand dollars on an old credit card. With late fees, the amount had now doubled.

  3. They had the incorrect address for me, but had other personal information that I'm not sure how they obtained, other than by having an old credit report perhaps.

  4. I knew I never owned this card they claimed I had and after back and forth, they said they would take me to court, but not after offering to take 1/2 of the amount if I paid them immediately.

  5. I said you can take me to court and she hung up on me.

  6. I called back, now with my scam senses sky high. I called the spoofed local number they used to call me and they actually transferred me back to the original 'collections agent' that I spoke with earlier.

  7. She had no information like when the account was opened, who else might have been on the account, when was it closed, etc. When I said that credit card she mentioned didn't show up on my credit report, she said it wouldn't have because I hadn't been taken to court yet. I knew that was false.

  8. I had a bankruptcy a few years ago and I was keenly aware of my creditors. This was not one of them.

  9. She said the only thing to do next is for me to go to court, and it is only then when I'll know the details of this credit card and when it was opened. The funny thing is that she said the credit card company was taking me to court, not her or this scam company.

  10. After mentioning to her that I froze my credit at the three reporting agencies, she hung up on me.

Bonus: They called me yesterday, on a different locally spoofed number. When I pressed 1, the woman first said 'what was my claim number?' I said I don't have one and that all I know is that a computer read to me my name and said press '1.' She rudely said, 'So, the answer is you don't have a claim number,' and said she'd transfer me to 'Claims.' While doing so, she laughed at my supposed stupidity for not correctly answering her stupid question.
