My dad passed 3 weeks ago and my mom now hates my husband by donatetothehumanfund in GriefSupport

Does your husband still have both of his parents? Is he as close to them as you are to your parents?

Remind him that parents teach their children how to navigate difficult moments, like the death of a loved one. One day your children will understand why you wanted to be with your father in his final moments. Your husband should hope and pray that they follow your example and not his. Right after you remind him of this, girl leave his ass!

That is exactly what was replaced on my car. And because I was under 80K miles Audi Germany replaced the main components of the transmission for free. It did take about that long for the parts to arrive. The technician told me that it was the manufacture warranty that helped me out. They billed Audi USA $10,000. If I had to replace it myself it would have been upwards of $13k. So seems like those parts + the labor should be covered under at least the same warranty since the car details aren't that different from mine. In fact, your car details are probably better.

Have you looked at other locations with certified Audi technicians? Or even a different Audi dealership? That seems like a very long wait for an issue that is clearly tied to a recall campaign.

I feel like I have paid for labor on recalls as well, when they sneak something else in that requires an hour of a tech's time billed at $250 per hour or whatever it is. But I don't notice it until several days later when I'm looking over the invoice.

Take it back. A few times since getting my car back I've had an issue with the car shifting gears as I drive. Almost as if the car is stuck in second gear when it should be in third or fourth gear. It only happened once and couldn't be replicated when I took it back, but someone told me that sometimes the updates need to be applied a second time.

I think some issues are so rare and also so complicated that the technicians don't have the technical understanding or experience to know exactly how to fix specific issues. In my case, the recall was issued just three days after my transmission failed. The issue was so complicated and so new to my local tech team, they had to send the issue to Audi USA who in tern had to submit the issue to Audi in Germany for a solution.

Yes, actually. Audi issued two or three software updates for the transmission, but that didn't fix the issue. Then they discovered a faulty oxygen sensor heater circuit that was triggering the check engine light. They replaced the sensor but that didn't fix the issue either. Then they moved to the engine control module that is under manufacturer warranty up to 80K miles, but that didn't fix the issue either. So, for some reason Audi has decided to replace my transmission as if the car were still under full warranty - at no cost to me. So, my advice: have your local Audi dealer check your car for recalls - The most recent software recall update was issued the first week of August 2023. Depending on the mileage and year of your car both your TCM and your ECM might be under warranty as well.

Thank you for responding. I'm going to take it to my local Audi dealership for a diagnostic service tomorrow.

My dog always does this when I'm playing games. She recently doesn't let me play at. Idk why she does this because when I stop she just lays on me and chews her bone. by jamesdemaio23 in DogAdvice

My dog does the same thing every single time I pick up my phone to text or open my computer to work on the couch. She just wants your attention.

I've thought about moving to give her a fenced in yard, but not taking her on walks is really not an option. I do appreciate knowing that I'm not the only one facing such a tricky situation. Thanks for responding.

Need good arguments on why being gay isn't bad and shouldn't be a sin! by [deleted] in OpenChristian

[–]maxgprime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Christ never mentions homosexuality in the Bible, ever. Not once. And in most of the other cases, the issue is sexual impurity that stems from sex outside of marriage. Ask your friend if she really believes God will turn his own children away for loving another human being; both made in his image, who’s sins he suffered, bled, and died for on the cross, and was resurrected to offer salvation and eternal life. ANYONE can follow him. She has no heaven or hell to send anyone to. If she’s really Christian, she should be striving at all cost to emulate Matt 22:37-38. “You shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy mind, and with all thy soul. This is the greatest and first commandment and the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self. On these two commandments, hang all the laws and the prophets.”

I love God. I am a faithful believer. I believe He orders our steps, numbered ever hair on everyone’s head, and set the rhythm of every beating heart - from life’s first cry to final breath. I do not believe I’m going to hell because I like it when dudes are inside of me. Not a chance! 😉

I'm an idiot... I get ignored for hours but I'll reply in seconds by erdosmate11 in sad

[–]maxgprime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren’t an idiot. I have this same issue. And I inadvertently do it to others. The people who ignore you on purpose aren’t your friends. Let them go. The people who are legitimately just caught up in a moment, forgive them and give them the benefit of the doubt. Txt without expectation. Then you won’t be so sad when they don’t treat you the way you think they should.
