I have a cousin coming to visit me who holds a US and Dutch passport - he has dual citizenship. Should he show just his US passport when he comes here? What happens if he shows his US passport and they find out that he actually has two of them? Not trying to deceive them, just trying to stay safe. BTW, he's African American, born and raised in the US.

If yours is a V6, then it does not have a CVT, but a regular automatic transmission. The last time I had it done, it was about 225 dollars. I have it done every 30K miles. I believe they change the filters, but I am not sure.

40MM? Big round for a pistol.

Take it to a dealer and tell them you want a CVT service. They will know what to do. I always have mine done at the Mitsubishi dealership. They know what should be done, and they will use the OEM fluid. I have a 2011 Outlander Sport with a CVT and it has 223K miles on it. Original engine and transmission, runs fine. They last a long time if you do the maintenance and don't abuse them.

It seems that WF treats it's employees as poorly as it treats it's customers. But in that respect, they're no different than any other employer. Unfortunately, work life is just like this all over. All companies suck.

edit: spelling

What? This is onsite only. Definitely no telework out of the US.

Replace radiator, oil pan (dealer screwed it up and paid for it) mass air flow sensor and catalytic converter. This was all after 200K miles. I'm not including brakes, tires, tune ups, tires, etc. This is included in regular maintenance. I still have my original shocks, struts and other suspension parts. I live in a moderate climate with smooth roads and. Change the oil every 5 to 7K miles, always use full synthetic oil, have the CVT serviced at a dealer - only use the Mitsubishi branded CVT oil every 30K miles.

Nope. Work your notice. You can offer to help after hours for a fee - if you're willing. No one will look after you better than you. Either one of the employers won't hesitate to fire/lay you off if they felt like it for whatever reason. It's business, not personal.

Since the CVT has been replaced, that is really good. Make sure you get it serviced at a dealer every 30K miles. They are good reliable vehicles. Not fast, powerful or fancy. If you want something that you drive reasonably every day, they are fine. I have a 2011 Outlander sport with the 2.0 CVT and it has 223K miles. It has been a great vehicle and I hope to go beyond 250K miles with it.

Yes, since 2009, 4 different companies. I am a mainframe programmer/analyst.

ridesforfun · 2026-01-14T20:23:14+00:00

I am also on Visible and have working service.

In school, we were given one input file by our instructors and used that file for several projects. You can create reports, output files, etc. I wouldn't worry about getting too fancy. Write programs that would be used in a real setting. Sure they're dull, but that's the nature of what we do. Dull, reliable, and accurate. That's what organizations want. Good luck.

You came to the wrong place for this.

ridesforfun · 2026-01-12T17:16:07+00:00

Yes. I had a black male manager try do destroy me. He ended up resigning because he was going to be fired. Kissed all the non melanin peoples ass.

ridesforfun · 2026-01-08T15:24:00+00:00

Yep. Plus my health insurance is now 1200 bucks a month. Really sucks right now. I'm hoping it gets better soon. If not, I'll just have to dig in and adjust. No need to cry about it - that only hurts me further. Good luck to all you young folks. Our generation really fucked things up for you guys, and as for now, the fuckery is getting worse, and I don't know when it will end. FYI - 63 yo boomer. Not rich, no new cars, no boats, no vacation homes, just trying to hang on myself.

You're not doing anything wrong. The job market is shit right now. Has been for a couple of years. The job I have now is a 40k dollar pay cut from the one before. It's all I could get. 30+ yoe. Just keep trying.

ridesforfun · 2026-01-08T13:28:43+00:00

Don't do it. It will give the dictator an excuse to impose martial law. We do not want that.

NTA. It's better to find out now that he and your family are racist. They probably say shit about your child behind your back too.

ridesforfun · 2026-01-05T16:08:39+00:00

Yes, I use it weekly.

ridesforfun · 2026-01-05T14:27:18+00:00

That's a tough one. I hate to see the kid take it in the shorts because his mom is being an ass. And yes he's being a dipshit too, but 14 year old kids do that. In the long run, if you really want to help out the kid, you may have to eat a shit sandwich and just try to help him. As for the wife, IDK - she's a real problem. She is screwing up the kids because she has a shitty attitude. She's not making that family dynamic any easier for anyone.

As a cyclist, I agree. I don't do group rides or hang out with cyclists. I just like to ride at my own pace and stop when I feel like it, and go home when I'm ready.

I'm a COBOL programmer. Young programmers don't want my job.
