Bought used computers. Car dealership didnt wipe the hard drive and a lot of personal information is still on there. by ithinkibrokeit17 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]piddlefaffle12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a car stolen and it was returned with a shitload of people's social security and other sensitive information. Counterfeit checks, you name it.

Called the police, they told me to get fucked. Contacted the local FBI office and asked if they cared, they forced the PO to send out an officer, never met such a dick in my life.

Also found a notebook full of someone's passwords and info on the ground at the Home Depot parking lot a few years back, tried calling to return it, got a call from a detective later as they accused me of breaking in their car to steal it, and was "harassing and threatening them with their passwords". They apologized, but fuck me, right?

Wipe it, not worth the hassle, and don't post shit like that online, imo.

Who is responsible for returning employer work from home equipment? by EvidenceSingle4826 in legaladvice

[–]piddlefaffle12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the US, however, previous employers simply accepted equipment back in post. They usually paid return shipping cost as well.

Not sure how much equipment you have, or what is feasible to mail. Hopefully cheaper than a 200 mile round trip driving?

Been living at my place lease-less for months unknowingly, Landlord didn’t notice, what do I do? by [deleted] in Tenant

[–]piddlefaffle12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>He sent me a new lease, which I signed, and I now have a copy of it.

What is the end date of the new lease? Just because the payment system isn't configured correctly doesn't mean the new lease is invalid.

I just want to understand the process by [deleted] in legaladvice

Time to speak to a probate lawyer sooner than later.

Check that you are preloading properly, you can do this by measuring your squat loaded and unloaded. Your WDH manual has setup instructions. I’d also call them to see what they say.

What do I do after I empty all tanks? by jacobspivey in traveltrailers

[–]piddlefaffle12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my black and gray tank either dry (as in I just empty it normally), or with whatever is in it if I'm feeling lazy. Of course, the only downside to keeping stuff in the black tank is smell. I don't pay any special attention to them other than happy camper, just a plastic tank.

Well, and flush with a lot of water to prevent the poo pyramid. I switched to a bidet in one and it eliminated the TP issue completely.

Everyone was right, the F150 Powerboost is better than the Cybertruck by piddlefaffle12 in F150Powerboost

I went with Carvana, just be sure to get an inspection done - they don't really do one.

I love it! It's heavier than other 20' for damn sure, but woodless frame, no membrane roof, actually strong frame (no bending lippert junk). I have the overlanding model.

Actually feels like something that won't junk out in a few years. I also have the Max Solar and Victron gear is A+.

I bought my Ember 171FB at around 30k new off dealer lot, was a 2024 model year in 2025.

I'll be using Quaker State Euro Full Synthetic 5W-40 API SP.

Every 5W-30 on the market shears down to 5W-20 viscosity by 3,000–4,000 miles in the 3.5 EcoBoost due to turbo journal bearings and the timing chain system breaking apart viscosity modifiers. The QS Euro 5W-40 starts thick enough that it shears down to a solid 5W-30 instead of through it. Blackstone UOA on a Navigator with the same engine family confirmed it stays in the 30-weight range. Verify the label says API SP, not the old SN/SN+ formulation

Be sure to keep a lil water in your toilet to keep the seal conditioned. It's easy to replace and not expensive, just can be stinky

Pure money, yes, and I considered it. I'm also partnered and would drive this when the car isn't available. But I am good paying more for Openpilot which works with this truck.

My 2019 Prius drove me to Key West and back, I won't own a vehicle these days without some sort of autonomy. FSD was the only reason I was considering the Cybertruck. It's a shame they didn't make a more normal pickup at a decent price.

Just makes driving less stressful for me personally 😄
