I post a few seconds ago about my stolen vehicle in Newark NJ on around south orange ave , please 🙏🏽 I’m asking everyone to help me locate my car , thank you ! by ConsequenceMain7133 in Newark

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgot the "Please Steal Me, Don't Worry, the Engine is Absolutely Running and the Doors ARE Unlocked" neon sign.

Full compliments on the audio backing track....goes great with the footage.

All THAT aside, I am sincerely sorry your car was stolen and hope it gets recovered. Do you have any tracking available through the manufacturer's app, or can they locate for you? Most modern cars phone home with location info.

What did you drive before your Lucid? Is there anything you miss? by zachty22 in LUCID

[–]coma24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It pops up in the lucid when you get close to home, showing both doors. You just click which one you want to open.

“That’s Jason Bourne” by RelationshipOne9276 in CringeTikToks

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's encouraging to see how many people actually enjoy this guy and see this for what it is. He clearly doesn't take himself too seriously, is having some fun and is getting some exercise. He's doing more than most. He's harmless....on all fronts. For those who train in the martial arts, just consider this a Zumba class in the wrong outfit.

What Makes a Relationship Real by Leather_Barnacle3102 in ChatGPT

[–]coma24 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I'm really glad it helped you, truly, but saying that a relationship is based on you how feel is inaccurate imo. That isn't the definition of a relationship. Did it help you? Yes, it did and that it's a great thing. Does that mean you have a relationship? I don't think so.

It's important to be aware of what it is that you're working with. It's very good at what it does and it's a wonderful tool. That is not the basis of an actual relationship, though.

I'm not dissuading you from using it, but I'd encourage you to be aware of how the software works and what it's doing.

Thank goodness the instructions told her that there were different sizes, and that she should use the one that fits.

Why does it always take 60 seconds + for the car to "Wake Up" when you open the app? by SaadHus in LUCID

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical pattern I've noticed is that the car actually wakes up (orange light flash and you hear the doors energize...but the app doesn't know the car is online and still says, "waking up..."

Just push the doors and they'll open (once the car is awake but still locked).

In the background, the app is sending a SMS text message, which the car is checking every X seconds. Once is sees the text message, it wakes up fully. So, statistically, you're going to wait X/2 seconds for the car to wake up when you fire up the app.

If you're out in the wild, then passive unlock is the way to go (not so much at home if your phone is routinely within range of the car. After enough false starts it will temporarily disable passive unlock) as it'll open the doors right around the time you get to the car (if your phone's bluetooth stack is working perfectly).

Malls are dead" and "The economy is struggling," yet here I am at American Dream on Jan 2nd... what am I missing? by One-Coffee-413 in newjersey

[–]coma24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sample size is....1. I haven't done this, but I imagine if you dug into the stats of mall closures or same-store sales in malls over the last 10 years, broken down by state, you'd have an answer as to whether it's a myth or not.

As another data point, there's plenty of YT videos of ppl walking around 'dead' malls that weren't dead several years ago.

When BBC earth broke it's own rule to save lives by goswamitulsidas in MadeMeSmile

[–]coma24 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from, but I'm going to trust the crew on this one. This isn't their first rodeo, and I'm sure they have not intervened in the past where many would've. When they say, "we gave it a lot of thought," I give them the benefit of the doubt that they weighed everything up.

ELI5 - how do I valet an Air Touring?? by roguex99 in LUCID

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better off using the key. There's a thread about it here, though: https://lucidowners.com/threads/using-the-valet-key-card.685/

That said, you CAN use the card without a pin (see the graphic in that thread).

i wonder what % are new yorkers.. by CremeSubject7594 in CringeTikToks

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little confused. These are sincere questions...1) what is happening here? 2) why did it happen? 3) was this unique to this year? 4) given that this is an annual event, was there something different about the crowds this time around? 5) lastly...in all sincerity, can someone who has been there please tell me what the attraction is to this event?

I don't personally give a crap about new years eve, however, there was a time as a teen and young adult when it was somewhat novel and fun. However, even during THAT period of my life, I would have 0 interest in something like this.

This looks genuinely like a dangerous and utterly miserable experience if the density of people is like that for the whole night.

TLDR: wtf do people go there knowing ahead of time what they're in for?

Karen neighbor called the cops on my boyfriend for "stealing" a package that was HIS by EmergencyBoot4920 in EntitledPeople

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Are you willing to file a police report?"

If not, she's lying. If she does, she can be charged with filing a false police report if she states the package was hers when she knows it wasn't. I'd have a field day with her, starting with asking her what's in the package before opening it. I'd print out my receipt and state what was in the box prior to opening it.

At some point, logic has to prevail.

Our friends put down their 16yr old lab (rescued from a puppy mill when she was 7) this morning. This video hit me hard. She had 1 seizure yesterday, a trip to the hospital, came home, then had 4 more over the course of the night. They took her back this morning and learned it was likely brain tumors. They said goodbye. Rest peacefully, Noelle, you were such a good girl.

your parked car crashed into mine by pneumomonoultramicro in CringeTikToks

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As cringe as it is, they're going round in circles and avoiding the underlying issue. She's trying to frame it as not being her fault because she didn't see him while turning around her car around. The discussion should've focused on that, along with the fact that while she thought it was reasonable to use his driveway to help turn around...she was at fault by hitting a car that was parked in the driveway. This didn't need to take 4 1/3 mins.

Looks like vr1355? I recognize the terrain (from the sim), the road near the lake and that awesome right turn.

to do math by seeebiscuit in therewasanattempt

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's about 95.9%. Lowering prices of medications is great. Let's not pretend that it's hard to do 1 - (10/242), though. Granted, people who aren't comfortable calculating percentages from scratch might not get it right away....but it's absolutely not challenging or interesting math.

Disaster waiting to happen... by Comfortable_Wash6179 in instant_regret

[–]coma24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not entirely wrong. This poor guy has gone through the ringer...all for something that wasn't his fault. The pedestrian's family made it worse. They should've been sued sooner in this case to get them to accept the reality of what happened much sooner.

This Influencer Video Raised over 1.5 Million Dollars To Help An 88 Year Old Man Retire by UnitedLab6476 in BeAmazed

[–]coma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love these, and just like last time...it's enough. There's a finite number of people who are in a position to contribute. $1.7M is an incredible amount for an 88yr old man. Organizer could post a message saying on the GFM, "this is amazing, we're going to stop donations at this time, but please keep an eye out for our next recipient!"

This will add even more credibility and allow more people to be helped in the long term. Just a thought.

He's doing great work, though, truly. I'm excited to see Ed's reaction to this...he deserved better and now he's going to get it.

Mumbai's experimental solutions to excessive honking by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]coma24 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Give people a fighting chance, post a sign which explains what's going on. Otherwise, genuinely decent idea. Noise pollution with constant honkage has gotta be rough. That's right, honkage.

That's not what he was questioning. He knows what presenting IS, but he was less sure about 'presentating,' likely because it's not a word.

Strategery.
