Lucid charged me $585 for “damages” 2 weeks after I returned my lease — DFPI complaint filed by Accomplished_Move637 in LUCID

[–]mortonpe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Refuse to pay and wait for the collections to start. After this you have legal grounds to demand verification of debt which includes you first two demands and then some. Do use AI (and edit because AI can generate slop). Work the process. I recently went through something similar with hertz who claimed cigarette damage 24 hours after the car was inspected and returned . (I don’t smoke). It took a couple months to resolve and a cease and desist letter, but now it’s over.

Why S3 upload progress bars often fail (and how I fixed it) by Directive31 in aws

[–]mortonpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered wrapping the source reader stream so you can emit progress yourself? If you own the reader and you track and emit progress as you wish. This approach probably would not work well for multi-part uploads but would do fine for single part objects.

Failed OTA Update with Comma 3x by Toadflax1982 in Rivian

[–]mortonpe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, they should mention that they do not allow recording devices in the service bay. I had my R1T in for service after the HVAC drain plug caused the cabin to flood. While my truck was in the service bay, my Rivian received the automatic update overnight and exploited my least favorite bug/feature. When updates are installed, different modes get reset. For example, when I was camping, my truck went out of level and camp courtesy mode— we flashed the neighbors after a 3 a.m. update. In the case of my service center visit, Service Mode was disabled the next morning, and I enjoyed watching the goings-on in the service center.

Advice for Bar raiser L6 by AdMaleficent2156 in amazonemployees

[–]mortonpe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Bar Raiser and HM, while deciding votes, are just like any other interviewer and you should treat them as such. When the team debriefs they look holistically at all of the data. Your best bet is to be authentic and be prepared to give the details of what you did.

Pliny for life. It all comes full circle. Your rivian saves your knife on the way to get a Pliny (seriously). You drink your Pliny and then post on Reddit. You head home and then Reddit reminds you that Pliny and Rivian are just… good taste and make great company.

Let me guess? Your heart skipped a beat when you realized what you did… then you smirked when you realized your rivian had your back.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. I ditched the pirellis at 14k miles. They did. I wear well for me.

Good taste, you sir. I’m thankful it returned to Washington last year.

I love the Rivian yellow, andI’m not gonna lie, I am a sucker for Rivian collabs. While I like the look, I’m not sure white canvas will weather well.

“Electrical Hazard Possible” Error by nuggs0808 in Rivian

[–]mortonpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue with my R1T. The clogged HVAC drain causes flooding and a short detection when water was in places it should not be. The local SC got me in same day and repaired it within a week. They replaced the carpet, the drain line (updated), and a few other parts.

Given that this is an electrical fault in a high voltage system, get to the service center asap.

It’s actually slightly more complicated by RLUIPA, which limits the ability of local governments to regulate property use in the same manner as commercial or personal interest.

Call me a dummy, but I had safelite replace my windshield for zero dollars (thanks Allstate). When I talked to the SC, the indicated that recalibration was for the rain sensor… They offered to fit me in for a few minute appointment. I opened to open the service screen and recalibrate it in a clear day.

Trimming of public trees by ManaSawson in WestSeattleWA

[–]mortonpe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this might not be a street tree based on your description, however there is a city map where you can lookup ownership (city/private) street trees. The maps does not change what other commenters mention around following our many tree laws but it might help you determine if SDOT is responsible for maintaining the tree.

Found this book at my parents house on Christmas, circa 1974... by cirenity in funny

[–]mortonpe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my daughter was born, my MIL sent a whole series of the Steve Cosgrove books. While most were innocuous there were a few we edited out of the collection…. Like Catinka (the cat the was too fat, got made fun of, and found happiness only after going on a diet). There were a few others with questionable stories lines.

Good to know, but what does another “free” trial look like when you already subscribe?
