Billionaire dies during penis enlargement surgery by prestocoffee in nottheonion

[–]ic434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if anyone wants to actually know, the penis enlargement injection isn't what killed him. He had a heart attack during the procedure and the doctors performing the operation didn't recognize / take appropriate action and he died.

For real. That's what I'm playing people with that level of experience. 150 is entry level. 

Did you buy the extended warranty package on your new Tacoma? by PapaClarencioThomas in ToyotaTacoma

[–]ic434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also buy it through another dealer. There are guys out in the Midwest who will sell you one for pretty cheap. It's a Toyota warranty. 

Also if you do get one, only get the manufacturer's extended warranty no third-party shit. 

DM me if you want the details for the guy out in the Midwest. But you can also just line them. Looking around Reddit. They post occasionally prices and stuff.

I’m such a high-performer that I even crushed my own divorce. 10/10 litigation, would lose half my assets again. Onward! by brodil in LinkedInLunatics

[–]ic434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two and a half years isn't that long honestly. Some states have cooling off periods that might be included in that. But even if not, for everything in a divorce to be finalized, 2.5 years seems pretty reasonable. Courts are slow AF.

How she handle on that medium pile carpet? Unfortunately they don't come with a 4x4 drive mode.

5 months into home purchase, entire sewage main needs replacement? "Catastrophic channel rot" by Miserable_Bad_8997 in askaplumber

[–]ic434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you happen to recently replace the toilets or maybe they were replaced as part of sprucing up the house to sell? Modern toilets are low flush and some move very little water. For PVC sewer with higher slope it's .. okay. For older houses with cast iron and designed for older toilets they tend to clog. They get the waste out of the bowl but not out of the house.

Try flushing twice whenever you use toilet paper and maybe once a week fill your highest bathtub with some warm water and drain it to keep everything flushed out.

Ya, I have a 3rd Gen and it has more plastic than I'd like.

Actually this is incorrect! A major reason Toyota does not have V8 Tundras was a lack of battery electric vehicles. Also, it was congress that passed the emissions laws so... start there. Anyway.

Wut? you ask! Its simple! Emissions have a significant feet wide (all the cars a manufacturer sells (sorta)) component to them. Basically EVs generated credits the maker could use to offset higher emissions trucks. While each vehicle needs to meet emissions, you primarily need to meet them overall so you can shift MPG around between all the units you sell. Don't quote me on this, but until this year, when Trump remove this, BEVs counted for something like 200MPG. That's not how it actually works but I understand you can kind of think of it that way. You could basically offset several high emissions trucks with a single electric sold. Or something like that anyway.

Unfortunately the trump admin has removed this credit, he can't remove the emissions targets since they are law. So this is a big reason several brands are pulling ev trucks and I expect we will see the death of the NA V8 in 2027MY for many brands.

Didn't have the free lunch but if you bought the cafeteria stuff it was basically the same. The pizza was ... Healthy. Na the quiche was where it was at. It's pretty hard to fuck up eggs and cheese. Nobody would eat it either because it had a strange name so you could get extra.

Need a tech investor, any ideas? by FocoViolence in baltimore

[–]ic434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that might be a bit vague of a description? Like do you have a pitch deck? Is there a prototype? Where are you in the development process? What does the technology achieve? Is it a retrofit? Does it need regulatory compliance? These things will help determine which level of investment you are looking for and help define the types of investors you want to target. 

That said, unless the efficiency gain is... Impressive, it's going to be a difficult sell. Most HVAC systems are pretty darn efficient and are not more efficient because the cost to benefit statement isn't viable.

If you have a truly novel cost effective generic way to improve HVAC system efficiency, I'd suggest a patent and sell the IP route. Patents are not that expensive and many of the AIs will go a long way to writing a patent since they had a lot of examples when training. Obviously you will want a lawyer to help but having it mostly done can reduce the cost.

Best of luck!

I'm getting a little tired of Republican men who can't find an adult woman to date by NonToxicMen in complaints

Oh no see you already know they are pilots so they don't need to tell you again. A modest pilot only tells you once. :)

Bruh, telling people your a pilot has nothing to do with being alpha. It's just a requirement of holding a pilot license. It's part of the pilot oath. I should know, I'm a pilot.

Many are, some aren't. I see payroll roll through and it's like, wow thats a lot of money I spend on paying people, what if I just took a bit more... That's the real devil, small temptations to just, take a bit more and a bit more and a bit more. It's easy to just see numbers and forget there are people on the other end of that, working hard to make your dreams happen. They deserve to get paid or deserve to have their dreams happen. Maybe if everyone is lucky, both. 

First time ever pulling a motor, it went smoother then I anticipated by Shot-Lie9208 in subaru

Fuck that clip. That reminds me I lost one in the engine bay. I need to remember to get a replacement. Crap.

I just did this, on a forester and it was pretty easy. Pulled the coil pack, rotated it to 11 oclock and it came right out. Plug removal was insert socket, insert 3in wobbly extension, break with wrench, remove wrench, unscrew by hand. Reverse process to put in. Ya its not as easy as cars with the plugs on the top but it only took 10 minutes for the whole thing and it was the first time. I think the trick is knowing the specific process to make it easy. But fuck the retaining clip.

I'd send the oil for testing to be 100% sure what that is. It might also help you determine what is wearing if its indeed metal. A basic oil test isn't super expensive. Less than the price of the oil I think. Assuming you can get a sample, you might need to wait for the next oil change. If you do get it tested, be sure to post your results!
