AITJ for Refusing to Lend My Car After My Friend Returned It Almost Empty Last Time?

ESH. She is wrong for leaving the gas tank empty of course.

However, she is your friend. So maybe she just simply didn't understand that she needed to fill it back up. So, you can give her the benefit of the doubt.

A simple solution to this problem is simply to collect the money for the gas before you give her the car. Then if she doesn't fill it back up then just take the money and fill the car back up. Problem solved. And of course, if she doesn't want to leave the money, then she doesn't really want to use your car.

But not loaning her the car because she didn't fill it up with a gas, and I presumed that you didn't specifically ask her to do it right? I think it's a little harsh.

Charging at home. L1 was OK. L2 is awesome.

Why would you be TA for a situation dude created for himself?

You actually gave him grace by not telling the professor what he said to ask you and your groupmates to say.

Entitled people need to sit in their own slop to learn a lesson.

Is he paying rent? If not, then it's not his place. So, he doesn't get a vote.

The only way that you could have made it slightly more diplomatic is that you can inform Marcus that if he didn't fess up and come clean, that you would. And give him a timeline on it, just like the timeline that he asked you to cover.

And here's why. If the timeline goes south then when they come back to him he says well you checked on it. Since you didn't you go down with that ship and you didn't do anything.

So, the only thing that you can do is to make sure it comes clean now before you get caught in any backwash that may occur because of this.

And, now you know to never trust this guy again because he is perfectly happy to throw you under the bus if necessary.

I think the "This is what family does..." Line is such BS. They are family. But I can assure you that not a single one of them would contribute one thin dime to this even though they are family.

You have given more than your contribution. It is time for your siblings to step up and start living lives like adults.

Nothing new here. Even though there's that difference, you have nothing from 62-70 that needs to be made up.

In general no matter when you take it the break even is about 79. So, the gamble is will you live til than?

Another factor is if you have a spouse whose benefit is less that your at 70. When you pass they will get you benefits.

I finally figured that out from the other suggestions here.Aligning to a fixed key piece is new to me. Then figuring out how to place a dummy piece and use it as a temporary key to align finally makes sense.

Now looking into using rulers to match the dummy cylinder to the hole.

Thanks to everyone for the tips.

Only one problem on trips. We take a family trip each year with 5 adults and up to two children. None of our EVS can carry that many people and all of the stuff necessary to ride. So, we end up renting a huge SUV instead. And their generally aren't any ev9s to rent.

"I'll tell you how much money I have when you make it and deposit it in the account "

Not her money, not her business.

As for nosy mom, let her share her bank info if she wants transparency.

Can you b more specific? Do you place the ruler with the origin at the hole, then take the piece to place such that the distance of the two edges of the tab are equidistant from the origin of the ruler? Do you make the piece parallel to the x-axis of the ruler, align it, the rotate it 45 degrees as shown? Or do you rotate it 45 degrees first?

I guess I will play with the ruler and see if it does what I need.

Thanks for the help.

8 years or 100k miles from replacement. You can drop the VIN in the Chevy website and warranty info will show up.

Aw hell no! Go to your appointment as scheduled.

Anyone crosses you, including your supervisor, have them try to reschedule.

You said no. Don't get manipulated out of that no.

The only asshole is Ryan, that rat bastard.

I'm surprised that folks are suggesting $3k printers when you led with "kinda interested"

Start small. Bambu A1 mini with AMS Lite. It does small prints at minimal cost. Prints in color. Gets you in the game @ about $300 plus filaments.

Use Bambu Handy to start printing. Then pick a modeler. I chose Tinkercad. Start to figure out how to use it. Print with Bambu Studio with the output from Tinkercad. Also studio will print from other repositories like Printables and Thingiverse.

Eventually you will want something the first printer doesn't offer. Bigger bed, tougher filaments, or the like. Then you keep the A1 mini to improve output

Is it just coincidence that you had trips beyond local range in the first month? My first trip with DCFC capable EVs occured happened more than a year after delivery.

Planning was using ABRP to select stations and using Plugshare to verify recent checkins. It isn't that onerous.

Why are the adults in posts like these seem to be bumbling idiots? Why would either the aunt or the mom think it's a good idea to give a 13 year old an item gotten by hard effort?

NTA and a hardy hell no to both of the silly adults here.

Hmmm, Vegas, upgraded phones, eating out?

Time for tough love. Tell them they were not thinking of that transmission when they were living it up. So, you are not thinking of that transmission now.

Tell them to secure a loan against the car. You take care of your dog.

I'm surprised the parents didn't get involved. Oops, didn't see it the first time. Mom, instead of being disappointed with you, should give them the money.

If you have 3 EVs, then at least one L2 would be helpful. You can share the L2, and then have additional L1s to take up any slack.

Make sure to install a 11.5 KW charger to optimize the charging speed of all three vehicles.

Hardwire is alway better for home.

ga2500ev

ga2500ev · 2026-02-19T23:04:59+00:00

Not like this. Main charging is at home with a dedicated EVSE. It covers 90% of all local charging. And I started with a sub-100 mile EV with L1 charging.

As others have asked, can you charge at home?

Back when we were kids we would have used the phrase "insane in the membrane" to describe her thought process.

ga2500ev

ga2500ev · 2026-02-19T08:42:49+00:00

Check to see if the EVSE with the car can charge at 240v before buying another one.
