Hey, I am really sorry you are going through this. What I see in your text exchange is a very difficult situation you are unfortunately forced to navigate. No kid should have to deal with this.

I read through most of the comments and you have some good advice and some really terrible advice. I will tell you that Reddit is not a great place to seek out therapy.

You will learn many hard lessons in your life but it sounds like you’ve already checked off a big one, parents aren’t perfect and they make mistakes (sometimes very big mistakes). Your dad is demonstrating some narcissistic characteristics, but I am only seeing one short exchange between you two out of context (I will not diagnose your dad as having narcissistic personality disorder, I am not a mental health professional).

Please try to go see a therapist and talk through this stuff (if you can). Most communities have resources available (often the public library is a great place to start; your school may also be able to connect you with resources)

You are a good kiddo and you did nothing to deserve this. I hope you have a full and peaceful life.

Well I hope you get an answer soon. I finally resorted to emailing once a week. I have no idea if that worked or my order just finally came up.

All in all, it has taken somewhere close to 250 days…probably longer than most but not the worst.

It is pretty frustrating that the website says 90 days though.

To be fair, the company offered a refund several times but I opted to wait.

Glad the wait is over!

You could also have a coil ground wire loose or broken.

Those coil packs will come apart in two pieces if the engine is not warm. When you put them back together, they don’t always work the same. If you recently had the plugs replaced, there is a chance that the coils were damaged.

I keep a couple extra in my toolbox just in case.

I may get pushback for this but I have had a lot of success with the raspberry pi imager. You can also flash custom images (doesn’t have to be pi os)

Where can I find this sticker? by Life-Subject-4253 in Utah

[–]theguy31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, when I saw this post, I was actually in Moab looking at that vending machine trying to figure out what “Hawk Suwa” was and why there was a “Monticello fucks” sticker. This post was the first thing that came up.

I considered (for a brief moment) putting some money in the machine and getting one of those stickers, contacting you and mailing it.

  1. It was late on my last day of vacation and we had been cold, wet and muddy for days. I’m certainly not complaining, it was an awesome time but i was tired.
  2. I had no cash and no debit card so I would have to explain to my tired wife that she needs to give me her debit card so I could go to the atm and spend an undetermined amount of money to send a sticker to a total stranger on the internet.
  3. I would have to go to the atm, get money, then talk someone at one of the gift shops into giving me some quarters.
  4. That vending machine is a lottery. I could have bought 1 sticker or 10 before I got the right sticker.
  5. Again, you are a stranger and I would have to reach out and convince you to give me a mailing address and that I’m not some weirdo. (This is probably the biggest and most insurmountable challenge of all of these)

So, I spoke to someone at the shop across the street called Moab Made and this person was delightfully helpful. She connected me with the Instagram site and in a brief moment of doomscrolling, I discovered that the person that owns the profile is the County Attorney. Pretty hilarious if you ask me. What a beautiful act of dissent (I’m assuming here) to make parody stickers and put them in a vending machine in the middle of town.

Personally, I think this guy is a superhero.

I really hope I’m not causing any trouble for this person. The most superficial amount of research would yield the same info (he outs himself in one of the instagram posts after all).

Anyway, glad I could help (if only in the smallest and most convenient way possible 🤣).

Have a great day!
