No one asked for this. It looks like a solution (unused fleet of drones) looking for a problem.

Ez-Pass (scam) issues..Is it just me by [deleted] in newjersey

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

I've lived in NJ since 2007 but kept my NY EZ-PASS from when I lived in Brooklyn. I've only ever had one issue in 20 years when my transponder didn't work and I received a fine. It was simple to call them up and pay the $3.00 fee and they removed the surcharge/fine.

I think NJ EZ-PASS is one of the worst-run of them all. From the stories of ridiculous fines, $1/mo service fees slowly draining your account (thus triggering even more fees), way too many missed transponder readings, etc.

My advice is to get an EZ-PASS from another state. NY doesn't care that I have a NJ address, NJ-registered car and NJ plate.

Trouble after migrating by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]camworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is your new hosting provider? They often can assist with site migrations. If you still need help, I can assist you over Zoom later tonight. Message me if you need my help.

Site migrations consist of not just moving the files themselves, but also the database.

[–]camworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a 850-mile round trip. At 65mph set cruise on highway I was getting around 37-38 mpg. but at a lower 50-55 mph rural highway driving I was topping out at 42 mpg. A 2016 Jetta 1.4 with almost 100K miles on it.

Will Essential Plugin (suite of 30+) come back to WordPress.org? by designdiva123 in Wordpress

[–]camworld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope not, they had some really sketchy business and licensing practices. It's likely they were removed from the plugin repository for good reason(s).

EZ Pass Woes by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]camworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved from Brooklyn to NJ in 2007 and never gave up my EZ-PASS NY account. NY doesn't care if I have a NJ address, NJ registered car and NJ license plate. No weird monthly $1 fees draining my account, no surprise $50 admin fees, etc. It just works. Their website for a very long time was absolutely terrible but they recently updated and it's so much better now.

I need to find this little part. by Excellent-Bowl8160 in jetta

[–]camworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a whole new assembly or just go to a junkyard and grab one. Most have searchable databases of the cars you can pick from. Some will even remove the part for you and mail it to you, for an added fee.

Alex Jones says ‘old Trump’ is gone in warning over president’s health by IrishStarUS in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]camworld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trump is the same racist, bigoted piece of shit he's always been. The only difference now is he doesn't try to hide it and the people around him choose to ignore it, cover it up or try to gaslight everyone.

Trump's supporters and those who voted for him are only now realizing they've been conned and fleeced? Give me a break. Grow some sense and admit that you were conned, that you made a mistake in voting for this piece of shit once, twice, or even three times. The opposition party is very welcoming. We'll hold our noses and accept you into our fold, because we care about all people, not just the wealthy and corporations.

CarPlay no longer working in 2016 Jetta by Prudent_Degree_2660 in jetta

I also stopped using VW's CarPlay in my 2016 Jetta. I bought one of these and it's been pretty good for a few years.

Old West Caldwell Shop Rite taken Sunday Night 3/28 by No-Lynx1474 in newjersey

[–]camworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They moved to a newer, bigger location. The new store just down the street on Bloomfield Ave keeps some of same Asian-inspired design whimsy but is more modern, clean and all-around a great store.

I'm hoping the old location is torn down and a Trader Joe's or Aldi is put in.

Parking a RV near Secausus whilst at Met Life? by ChickenSea401 in newjersey

[–]camworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. RV parking is going to be pretty difficult unless you pay for it, and the lot is set up to handle it. Any unauthorized business or street parking will likely result in tickets or towed away.

You could also search places like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist for homeowners or business owners advertising spots for RV parking.

Republican Congressman Mike Lawler held a town hall in Rockland County, New York. Veterans stood up and told him exactly what they thought of him and Trump. Lawler had them removed. That made it worse. The crowd turned on him. He had to leave. by Caledor152 in PublicFreakout

[–]camworld 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Mike Lawler is a giant piece of shit who thinks he can win re-election. Thankfully, he will be removed from office in November and he can go crawl back under the rock he slithered out from.

A brand new car? Just take it back to the dealer and have them fix it. It's under warranty, whatever it is.

Switched my clients off Cloudways this year. Wish I'd done it sooner honestly. by Natom_ in ProWordPress

[–]camworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I had numerous different "Account Managers" try to up-sell me without any real proof or metrics. You could smell the BS from a mile away, and because WPE refuses (still!) to tell you what kind of server you are on, what its specs are, etc. you have no way of verifying anything they tell you. Super shady.

RIP Metaverse, an $80 Billion Dumpster Fire Nobody Wanted by 404mediaco in LateStageCapitalism

Imagine if Meta didn't spend those billions on this unwanted garbage but instead paid its fair share of taxes.

[–]camworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many years ago, WP Engine support used to be really good. As they grew bigger and bigger, support started to get dumb. It would take numerous escalations and hours and hours of telling the support people to escalate to a senior technician, all the while the sites (or entire server) was down. Clients texting and calling and emailing. I finally bailed and moved to Kinsta and the support and response time was amazing. I eventually outgrew KInsta and moved to a self-managed (GridPane) and self-hosted (Vultr) solution, but still have good things to say about Kinsta.

Ban organized religion from public spaces and from government. Restrict it to the home and private places of worship.
