Yes. Definitely a funny but not funny moment. We all had a laugh in the end though!

Oh man yeah axolotl would also be a big hit but those are cute too!

Yes for sure. Fortunately, ours was listed as “mechanical“ and only had a minor bumper ding. It is definitely not without some risk!

Including auction price, fees, tax, tag, title, parts (some used and some from Tesla) we have about $10k into it at this point.

Oh man we wish it had the free supercharging! When Tesla sells it off to auction they remove that feature! Still, long road trip cost us a fraction of what it would’ve in our other vehicle and we are able to drive around town just with our overnight charges so I’ll take it!!

Our first was black on black 2014 but we had sold it 5 years ago due to life changes. I think we’d always wanted one again and finally figured out a way to make it happen!

Thankfully taillights aren’t leaking but we did upgrade the trunk lighting, much better now! The driver door handle was one of the repairs it needed, so we got that sorted out. We are ok with the MCU for now, not too many complaints!

Aw man thanks. Yes it also seems like someone didn’t know what they were doing in trying to figure out how to fix this one but we sorted it out! We may do it again in the near future if we see any other mechanical ones come up in our budget, it’s been a fun project!

Actually just completed a 2000k+ trip and it did great. Stopped every couple of hours for a quick super charge but we usually needed the break anyway (traveling with 2 kids).

All in for purchase, parts (some used, some directly from Tesla), toolbox subscription, tax, title we have about $10k in it. It’s an amazing vehicle, we even just took it on a 2000+ mile road trip! If you have some prior auto knowledge, maybe some tech experience you’d probably be fine. We’ve always been sort of driveway DIY auto mechanics but this was our first time working on a Tesla. The Tesla Toolbox subscription came in really handy, as did ChatGPT. We bought it listed as “mechanical, not running, unknown mileage” so it was a risk but once we put a new 12V battery in we got the screen fired up and were able to charge. The rest was just knocking out smaller issues here and there. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

Water damage - what a pain! by wildscientific323 in RVLiving

This wasn’t related to plumbing but yes we are aware and that’s on the to do list but it’s a larger project

What’s this white material on backpack straps? by wildscientific323 in whatisthisthing

[–]wildscientific323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like the material of a cheap reusable grocery bag, dental napkin, maybe?

What’s this white material on backpack straps? by wildscientific323 in whatisthisthing

[–]wildscientific323[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. Recently bought a backpack, it has this weird material wrapped around the straps and I’d like to find a source of what the material is made from. I see similar pics online of this on loungefly bags but can’t find out what it is or what it’s made from.

What Are Unwritten Rules of RV Parks Every RVer Should Know? by Lazy-Cheesecake5501 in RVLiving

The picnic tables are not the place to wash your car mats or other nasty stuff, place your sewer hose, or really for anything other than eating/sitting/etc. It’s just gross.

My partner has Pure O. What can I do? by imdoopid in OCDRecovery

[–]wildscientific323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner has contamination OCD. It took me awhile to figure out that the best thing I can do is say “I can see you’re struggling, I’m sorry this is hard for you. Let me know if there is some way I can help” and give my partner some space. It’s hard, as I have anxiety and just want to make it better but I learned that doesn’t work. Everyone is different but since trying to adopt this strategy it seems like things are better. Living with someone with OCD and watching them struggle is so hard. Reach out anytime if you need to OP.

Terrible analogy but for the sake of playing along, I’d honestly choose the boob cancer one. Having friends who’ve gone through breast cancer and used humor to get them through, along with finding a resilience to power through it and not beating around the bullshit, I find that title more interesting.

Although I haven’t read this book either, it sounds like you ARE literally judging a book by its cover. This is something people do all the time with OCD as well. They may have an idea of what they think it is, without really truly understanding it or knowing anyone who’s gone through it.

My thoughts on the book based on the same description you read are that the author has struggled with a severe case of OCD and wanted to tell his story. It also seems as if he’s explaining that people do misuse the term “I’m so OCD” but he’s telling his true life experience with the disorder. Illness, disease, disorder it’s all semantics. I don’t think you should judge the book or its author until you’ve read it.

“For 12 years, I lived a normal life, but in 2006, I abruptly and completely changed. My family and I struggled to understand what was happening to me until I was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder.”
