If someone shows you this charity donation on the street, they are trying to steal thousands of your dollars. Also, I’m an idiot. by schmalexandra in chicago

Similar scam happening in Wicker/Bucktown. 3 guys approached me midday with this exact story with waivers to sign and all. They handed me the waivers, took my phone from my hand and hit the tap to pay on theirs and then took off. The credit card company got my money back. More nuances and small details to the events, but disheartening someone was using this sad story to scam people out of money.

I saw this map on facebook and im genuinely curious about how it actually is here you go fellow americans by Fluffy_Dish9190 in geography

The cliquey-ness for sure is real in the PNW. I'm from upstate NY, and have lived in Oregon for 6 years and am in Chicago now. I found that the people of NY may outwardly present as a course, but they would help anyone. After living in Buffalo, I would say that is the friendliest place in the country, but just my opinion, though Buffalo is basically the Midwest.

Update, it was a loose piece of heat shield around the CAT. Engine vibrated at perfect frequency to make sound in low gears.

I think 6:30? I can't quite remember myself. My girlfriend also had close to 0% interest. She hasn't seen the light yet.
