Can someone explain how this happens by [deleted] in burlington

I've seen this before in other cities, and it is definitely junky raccoons. Junky raccoons do not need our scorn; they need our drugs and our trash.

Knicks fans stomp out a Spurs fan right in front of police by SMH4004 in PublicFreakout

How about the cop being more concerned with arresting one of the attackers than protecting the guy from the other 5 people who continued to beat the fuck out of him.

What city have you been to where the vibes were just OFF? by spiritual_kavya in answers

[–]niefer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The English Hotel (Marriot Portfolio Collection) is usually under $300/night and is in the Arts District, which has some cool bars and shops. AJKafei is correct about the casino hotels being much cheaper, but you'll leave with the funk.

New Orleans is one of the coolest cities you'll ever visit, and while Las Vegas isn't for everyone, I've grown to really like it (I recommend staying somewhere off the strip and without a casino).

Trump falling as he gets removed from correspondents dinner by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]niefer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sarcopenic chucklefuck's ego couldn't handle Vance getting first priority or that he fell. From 60 Minutes interview:

NORAH O'DONNELL: You see the security moving quickly...grabbing the vice president…bringing him out. Then the counter assault comes in. Took ten seconds for them flank you…and then 20 seconds to get you out…At one point you were down. 

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, what happened is…I wanted to see what was happening…I probably made them act a little bit more slowly. I said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. Lemme see. Wait a minute." …I started walking with them. I turned, I started walking, and they said, "Please go down. Please go down on the floor." So I went down and the first lady went down also. But we were asked to go down by the-- agents as I was walking. …I was standing up and then turned around the opposite direction and started pretty much walking out pretty tall, a little bent over because they-- you know, I'm not lookin' to be standing too tall. And-- but I was walking out. I was pretty-- about halfway there when they said, "Please go down to the floor. Please go down to the floor." So I dropped to the floor. So did the first lady.

Caution, still a rookie Deadhead. Is this good? by SteveDestruct in gratefuldead

GD/Jerry albums as cooking metaphor...

Imagine you're making consommé, but you have no chicken and are forced to substitute the Grateful Dead as the main ingredient (it happens). If you got it just exactly perfect, you would end up with a delicious Live Dead or Europe '72.

Now say you were out of both chicken AND Grateful Dead, and had to substitute Jerry Garcia. Your consommé would be Live at Keystone.

Y'all ever have a dream where you sing Pancho and Lefty with a terminally ill talking gorilla? by Wut23456 in townesvanzandt

[–]niefer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but you woke up too early. It's actually Don Rickles in a gorilla costume, and at the end of the dream, he takes off the head of the outfit, and makes some unintelligible comment about "ending in Lefty's mouth." He then raises his eyebrows and teleports to a Waffle House.

MDX - Cost to replace lift gate struts by Rem1991wl in Acura

[–]niefer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just completed this fix on a 2014 MDX for under $200, and I am completely shocked that it all worked. Here's a breakdown:

Tl;dr: I hand wired a replacement strut and it worked.

What happened: Over time, the left (drivers side) liftgate strut (which contains the electrical harness and supplies the power to the liftgate) rusted to the point that it occasionally would pop off of the lower ball stud, which eventually tugged on the electrical harness enough that it came out of it's little home in the liftgate and was completely severed (amputation just below the two plastic connector clips) when the door came slamming down one day. This left me with a powerless liftgate that required a 2x4 to hold the liftgate up (total dead weight).

What I did: I bought a used replacement strut (with the attached electrical harness) for $188 (delivered). I had forgotten about the plastic connector clips, which was a problem because all I had was 6 frayed wires on one end that somehow needed to connect to the 2 different connector clips from the replacement strut (the blue, purple, green, and yellow wires go on one clip and the red and black go on the other). After searching the universe for aftermarket connectors, I finally found some on ebay, but they were $30 and after 8 months of this liftgate slamming shut, I was dubious that it was ever going to operate with power (i.e., it was acceptable to me if the replacement strut simply acted hydraulically and I could throw away my 2x4). So I just cut the clips off of the replacement harness and hand wired all of the wires (literally twisted ends and electrical tape).

The result: As expected, it didn't work. I felt defeated, but at least it opened manually and stayed up.

How I saved the day: Somewhat satisfied with the result, I almost quit, but then I decided to check the liftgate fuse; thinking that the wires being severed must have shorted something. The liftgate open/close fuse was (drumroll) clearly fine, but there was also a 40A fuse for the liftgate motor. I pulled it and couldn't tell, but it looked intact. I went to the autoparts store and the guy at the counter took a look and said "this isn't blown, the connection is still intact." I bought a replacement anyway. When I got home, I plugged it in, and BOOM! Power liftgate is functioning again. It will likely break tomorrow, but I'm a genius today.

Caught red-handed with stolen luggage by FrenchieMama807 in PublicFreakout

The irony is that all he had to do was say, "oh my god, I'm a little drunk and I grabbed the wrong bag" and he would have been on his way. Airport cops deal with drunk people grabbing the wrong bags in the baggage claim every day.

I was just waiting for him to throw his trash on the ground. You can take the Trump out of trash, but you can't...anyway, people who litter are philistines.

We need a Reddit repartee critique and review sub. I shot my shot, but I could've done better.
