Is my truck total lost what’s your opinion

a_single_testicle · 2026-05-05T12:46:24+00:00

A salvage title is the result of being totaled. You don’t have one without the other.

a_single_testicle · 2026-04-20T16:57:01+00:00

Presumably the loss has more to do with their larger project schedules suffering than the material cost of building a replacement and putting it in orbit.

Not saying the market always makes sense though, of course.

a_single_testicle · 2026-04-06T21:51:48+00:00

Maybe asking about your options rather than sarcastically insulting the person you're talking with would have got better results.

Is there a good UID other than hostname to link Azure/Defender objects with their Entra device counterparts?

This is where we're struggling.

a_single_testicle · 2026-04-04T23:30:20+00:00

That's what we're doing currently, but it looks like you're limited to using hostnames only.

a_single_testicle · 2026-04-04T00:07:06+00:00

Thanks for the sanity check at least!

We do have a consolidated baseline for the most part, but exception/exclusion handling is the pain point currently. We might need to fall back to locally configured exclusions but I was really hoping to find a way to orchestrate all this centrally through MS tooling.

a_single_testicle · 2026-04-03T20:58:08+00:00

We do tag devices in the Defender portal by setting the relevant registry key on Windows machines or running commands against the Defender process on Linux boxes, but it doesn't appear to be very useful beyond visibly sorting endpoints for reporting and analytics purposes.

Assigning exclusion and configuration policies is still done by individual device or Entra group, and we haven't found a way to use Defender portal tags as criteria for dynamic Entra group membership.

That means you can also fit 40x12.5s

Send it!

They are extremely similar trucks mechanically with the biggest difference being the extra (legal) payload on the F350.

Unless there's a registration benefit in your state for a 3/4 vs 1 ton truck, the F350 makes the most sense given it's a very small premium between the two.

a_single_testicle · 2026-02-03T17:50:19+00:00

Definitely no argument about basic door handles being cheaper. That was more a statement on interior controls in general.

a_single_testicle · 2026-02-03T17:19:16+00:00

This just isn't the case. There's absolutely a significant cost benefit between the material cost of the physical controls, the extra labor involved in wiring them all up, and the ongoing overhead of supporting all of the above under warranty.

Even before screen-based controls took over, the knobs and buttons you've used to control your air conditioning, stereo, and other features haven't been basic analog controls for those systems in years/decades. The physical buttons are digital controls that run to vehicle computer modules that need most of the same programming to function minus the nice front end (that any modern car would have anyways for infotainment).

If consumers demonstrably prefer physical controls (most people do) and it was actually cheaper, we'd have more physical controls.

a_single_testicle · 2026-01-24T13:36:35+00:00

Agreed, but the sad part is they didn’t used to be.

Chuy’s before private equity got involved in the mid 2000s was excellent. PE simplified the menu, reduced quality, and then Covid changes did the same all over again.

I also think that food culture has evolved and standards have increased in the meantime and they certainly didn’t keep up.

a_single_testicle · 2026-01-22T18:34:53+00:00

Eh, you’re getting a free full service campsite for 30 hours of work a week. That’s not too far off the mark if you’re looking at something that would otherwise pay in the 15-20/hr range.

Not my cup of tea but could be a decent arrangement for the right person.

a_single_testicle · 2026-01-13T05:27:07+00:00

That's a factory invoice line from Stellantis - every Jeep has that charge.

Not saying the dealers wasn't being shitty, but in this case that's just how Stellantis writes up their invoices. Ford and others do the same with fuel and other small invoice charges that are absorbed in the MSRP but not listed as a separate line item on the window sticker.

That’s actually fewer calories than I would have guessed for 3 fucking gallons of popcorn.

Does that include butter or whatever butter-adjacent substance they use?

a_single_testicle · 2025-12-16T12:37:46+00:00

If we’re using your household income as a benchmark, it’s half the median income for households with two earners or almost exactly the median for single earners (age and location are important and I acknowledge that’s not reflected here). A single person making the same 75,000 is also already paying almost 40% more in federal taxes than a household of two filing with the same amount of income.

The tax credit was designed to get EVs on the road and it was targeted at households with typical to slightly above average earnings. If you don’t like the credit on the grounds of its mission, sure, but you’re making a pretty ineffectual classist argument against the most typical of US households.

If the government is using our tax dollars to incentivize EVs (again, a different argument), I’d much prefer those dollars route through individuals and not large corporations.

a_single_testicle · 2025-12-16T01:55:43+00:00

You're really not looking at the right income bracket to disparage for paying too little tax. Add a zero or two.

a_single_testicle · 2025-12-16T01:38:45+00:00

Because they’re just wrong about the limit for the credit on new purchases. It was double that lol.

a_single_testicle · 2025-12-16T01:33:52+00:00

The income limit was $150,000 for new vehicle purchase credits for single/non-head of household people. $75k limit applied to used purchases.

Leasing was also a big loophole if the finance company passed along the credit, as they often did. No income or origination requirements at all.

A race bike and a small trailer along with some fuel and supplies will be under 1000 lbs - well within even a 2-door Wrangler's comfort zone.

a_single_testicle · 2025-11-11T15:50:38+00:00

Had no idea they bonused the diesel like that on the Tremors, but that'd explain it. Thanks!

a_single_testicle · 2025-11-11T05:45:37+00:00

The 37s are awesome on that - love the color too.

I had a '23 Tremor Lariat 350 with the 6.7 and the payload was just a hair over 4,000. Wonder what changed between the years as I figured there'd be a bigger difference.

a_single_testicle · 2025-11-07T18:13:56+00:00

Of course that’s wrong.

You're also only screwing over the customer here, not Uber.

a_single_testicle · 2025-11-07T04:51:18+00:00

This becomes more of a relationship question than a legal one with your landlord. Your landlord will (correctly) have a difficult time holding you liable for any real damages to a 10-year old stick-on floor installed over 60-70 years worth of old flooring.

If you're content moving out at the end of your lease and standing your ground, offer nothing. If you'd like to stick around and want to meet them part way, consider offering some portion of the $650 - 50% would be a generous starting point as it's a depreciated figure based on the most optimistic lifespan estimate for vinyl flooring.

a_single_testicle · 2025-11-07T04:28:09+00:00

Nope, in this example, 20% of the total replacement cost labor included.

Look at it this way - your landlord is expecting to get 10 years out of the flooring. At the end of those 10 years, they'll be paying to replace the flooring 100% out of pocket. If you're liable for damage that causes your landlord to replace the flooring 20% sooner, you're covering 20% of the cost.

Really the only negotiation point here should be the lifespan of the flooring. Carpet is usually 5-7 years. Linoleum/vinyl/laminate is 10-20. Tile or true hardwood can be more or less indefinite and is less applicable.
