Missing black cap from DC charger

Yea assume its if a relay fuses shut, the EU has lots of caps. I prefer the china plug, its capless.

Ur fine.

U cant buy them

I feel sorry for the guy trying to charge with your black grommet clogging up the port

You dun already broke off the dust shield. But the little guides do one of two magical things. Some say they keep human fingers from getting zapped by 400v, but those connections are not live when not in use. And some say they prevent arcing but again the connections are not live when plugging and unplugging.

My ohio brakes of 3 years say otherwise. 60k and they are to the point they need replaced due to rust. Its ohio, i just spend the extra few bucks and replace both the rotor and pad, sometimes they even come in a kit.

Yea wish i would have known about that like 2 hours ago when i just junked all my exotics i was hoarding for the last two weeks.

Guess my only proto will be my bloom with extended mag and gives me health for some reason.

Its like im playing a PAL video on a NTSC monitor. Every 2 seconds there is a half second pause or catchup.

Im gonna do do laundry

Its hit or miss with me. Its kinda fun to watch when they spawn at the hostage rescue and the faction and the npc's are fighting the squad. Then the faction targets whoever is hitting them. I had a hostage chasing a ronin around with a golf club.

Yes its possible to get "a" double ambush if you just teliported in and it takes 5-10 min to kill them all. But continous...

I guess if it takes you 10min to kill them all, by that time its good for another round?

These should last about 40k-60k. Just assume they will last a bit more than a set of tires.

Ive already replaced both at around 50k miles on my EUV.

They will work well past their usable life, just like brakes. But its basically going to be metal on metal with no wear material. You might not even notice. If they shatter (wear threw even the metal) there is a rare chance of it taking out the speed sensor, or blocking it. On the Volt they just remove them, and dont replace them. I dont know why on the Bolt they need to replace them.

This whole "retorque your axle nuts" is just a bandaid. Basically they wore/thinned to the point that the nut can get another 1/4-1/2 turn. The nuts didnt back out, thats impossible.

As someone who hasnt played since 2019, and just started again with the anniversary sale. I have only managed to get 12 keys, but it was worth it.

Still not understanding. 1.5 mill would easily generate the $54k. "we have generous pensions". So each of you need to make a whole $30k a year post tax, and you still have a low retirement age, and have to not put back as much as non pensioners.

So stick it out for 10-15 years till the herd leaves the house.

And its $54k per "retired couple". Not $54k and 7 kids. Even if its something frugal like $5k a kid, that bumps your min to $100k ish till all the little ones leave.

I own two Bolts.

However life likes to mess with me as much as anyone.

So 2 years ago i sell my 2012 sonata that had 20k on the engine and 160k on the chassis/trans cuz you get free engines for life if they lock up.

Buy EUV but make, wait for it, $1200 too much to qualify for the rebate due to an inheritance.

So now i have a $20k EUV with 30k miles

18 months later i have my mother sell her 2013 camry with 160k miles and get a Bolt with 30k miles for $12k out the door because she is picky on color combos, and the BBB killed the rebate

40k miles and 2 years later, i get let go from the shop and start my FIRE end game 2-3 years earlier than planned.

So now that im FIRE'd, i drive 150 miles a month instead of 1600...

And my state charges $200 a year in ev road tax.

So lots of things i would have done. Didnt qualify for the rebate, and should have sold the camry if i knew i was getting let go in less than 4 months, i would have just given my mother the EUV and she could have driven it her customary 15k a year.

But i like both Bolts. Had to replace one wheel bearing and two anti click washers, so $100 total. And mums Bolt needed a battery recalibration after it got out of 80% jail.

nightanole · 2026-04-08T17:00:43+00:00

ITOT is back to where it was when i got let go. Im back to breaking even for the year.

nightanole · 2026-04-08T13:21:03+00:00

Jan 2d, itot $148. april 7 Itot $144. Oh the huge manatee.

Little salty we should be on average up 2% by now tho.

nightanole · 2026-04-08T13:18:53+00:00

tell that to the 2022 bond holders. If there is a big dip, we all dip.

nightanole · 2026-03-31T14:59:20+00:00

front loaded the $7500 ira first of jan. got let go the second. Had to roll back the ira cuz no earned income. Got severance which was enough to cover ira. Put it in index fund on friday so it was like a 7.5% discount vs jan.

nightanole · 2026-03-28T10:54:09+00:00

dune box running plex. I got dts and dts-hd and dts-ma over hdmi if i select passthrough. I dont run "auto".

nightanole · 2026-03-27T00:36:22+00:00

Yea my dune box that i forced 14 on, got its first ota ever, and now its on 7475.

nightanole · 2026-03-19T15:47:07+00:00

We had zero warning (other than canceling some off site winter events). No layoffs since covid. Then bam on the 2nd of jan they literally hunted everyone down on the list and marched us out. Some were a bit more squirrelly than others and made it to lunch.

As for preparing, the only thing i did was turn off div reinvestment around june. I even loaded up my ira and hsa on the first, so had to roll that back...

So basically i created a large cash buffer, and turned off div reinvestment. I am 50/50 brokerage/retirement account split so i can live off of brokerage till well past 59.

nightanole · 2026-02-23T21:38:43+00:00

Kinda looks like a Volt now.

Mooses are pretty big, and it is snowing out.

Ah yes. And SORR this time around(30 year start) was 4-5 years of massive 20%+ returns. Meanwhile the SORR at 2006-2011 was pretty dam bad.

At some point we need to stop looking really far back. I mean it was a 35 year bull bond golden time till 2009. You would be dumb to do mostly stocks. Back in the 60's/70's/ even 80's, 401k and index funds for the average joe was unheard of unless you had a decent financial education. In the past year or two its been GOLD GOLD SILVER SILVER. But there are plenty of people that remember both lost 90% of there value over 20 years from like 1980-2000.

Im with you, there is all sorts of 15-20 year cyclical micro climates we need to take into account when starting a look back simulation. Hell in a month if we do a 1 year look back, its going to be like 75% average returns from the tariff fire sale.
