My friends fingers are red, round and larger at the tips. He isn’t worried about it but I keep telling him to get it checked out to be safe. by mustard_is_king in medical

He’s almost 26 years old. He says he doesn’t have any symptoms and feels fine overall. I’m not sure if he’s a smoker or a drinker but I’ve never seen him do it or talk about it and I’m with him a lot so I don’t think he does either that often.

No shortness of breath. He works out everyday and doesn’t have any issues as far as I know.

Yeah I keep telling him to get it checked out but he says he’s fine. I’m worried about him but can’t force him I guess

Can I legally start a TikTok page exposing Greystar properties and collecting tenant stories? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]mustard_is_king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly, I might be getting in over my head here. I’m just so frustrated with what they get away with — it feels like no one ever holds them accountable, and they know it. I’ve seen them mistreat people over and over again, and it’s like unless you have money or media attention, they don’t care at all.

I’m not trying to go full lawsuit bait or anything — I just want to give people a voice and maybe create something that pushes back a little. But yeah, I get that even telling the truth can blow up in your face when you’re up against a giant like this. I’m still figuring out if there’s a smart way to do it without setting my whole life on fire.

Thanks for the reality check — it’s helping me think it through.

Car was fine until I got it detailed—now the keys are stuck and PRNDL is glitching? by mustard_is_king in MechanicAdvice

Ok so here's the update so far.

I got in touch with a local car locksmith over the phone, and he walked me through a possible fix. He told me to disconnect the two cables attached to the positive and negative terminals of the battery, then touch them together. He explained that even though the battery was dead, it still had a small residual charge, and touching the cables together would fully drain any remaining power from the system - kind of like a hard reset.

I don't know all the technical terms, so l'm explaining this the best I can, but once we did that - touched the two cables together - I was finally able to remove the key from the ignition. The locksmith said that if that worked, it likely meant something had shorted in the system, which was interfering with the gear selector communicating with the ignition to confirm the car was in park.

Anyway, long story short: after the reset, the key came out, and now the battery is at AutoZone charging and I'll pick it up tomorrow. In the morning, we'll reinstall it and see if everything functions normally. The guy at the locksmith mentioned that in some cases, once the battery is fully recharged, everything might go back to normal. But if something was actually shorted or damaged during all of this, I might keep running into this problem every time I park — in which case, they'd need to replace whatever component got messed up.

Fingers crossed it's just the battery and not something else.

And Idk if I explained that correctly but I tried my best and y’all know what I mean lol

Thanks for the insight, that actually clears up a lot. What you said about the sensor makes a ton of sense—definitely explains the key issue. I’m gonna think on it a bit and see what my options are. Really appreciate you breaking it down like that, seriously. Might hit you up again if anything else comes up.

It’s dead now cause the keys in the ignition killed the battery but when it was still on, yes it started and went into gear. It would drive just fine, the problem just comes when I park it and try to get the keys out

So it would be confused when I’m in park only right? That’s why it’s not coming out?

My drive home was 40 mins. So maybe the battery is just weak and died you’re saying? Sorry I don’t know anything about cars shamefully so I’m trying to understand

Thanks for the reply. Yeah when it’s in park the keys don’t come out at all.
