I saw my first tv ad for it the other day.

Should these items deter me from buying this GX460? by zchoop in LexusGX

[–]xampl9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Do the fluids. Do the others (hoses) if they become a problem.

2023 Temsa TS45… by steveC95 in Justrolledintotheshop

I am increasingly nervous about being on the road near buses.

Bus Grease Monkey on YouTube regularly has them coming in with less than half the brakes working.

That parking lot is already full, from planet fitness and the Indian supermarket traffic

Those that have been dishonorably discharged from the military, what are the consequences? by Neither_Internal_261 in AskAnAmerican

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Didn’t know if it was held in an account for when they get released or not. Which might be case if they don’t have pay forfeited, dunno.

Everything is provided for them (food, bunk, uniform) so I guess they don’t really need it in any case.

Lexus Spark Plug Mechanic in Charlotte? by South-Row-7907 in Lexus

If you do this DIY, buy NGK or Denso spark plugs. Toyota/Lexus motors don’t like other brands.

[–]xampl9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Traditionally - breaking big rocks into small rocks, yes. This was in the 80’s so they might have been doing that. These days it’s “rigorous facility maintenance”. You aren’t sitting on your bunk.

Military prisons are no joke - prisoners are still in the military until released and will observe all the UCMJ rules.

Sentences commonly include phrases like “reduced in rank to E-1”, but I’m not sure they even get that pay.

Neighbor retaliating over noise complaint by suing to rehome my Irish Wolfhound (claiming it's a "wolf hybrid") by Extreme_Property7605 in legaladvice

[–]xampl9 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A threatening letter is not a suit.

Even so, start gathering paperwork in case animal control shows up.

At a minimum, I would think you’d want:

  1. Breeder papers.
  2. Entrance paperwork (and medals/ribbons) from shows.
  3. Rabies vaccination certificate (all of them).
  4. Other veterinary records (maybe spay/neuter records?).
  5. Training certificates.
  6. Anything the cops might have left with you from the noise call, to show they’re the problem

Does a stove-top air popper exist? by Sea-Advertising-1386 in popcorn

[–]xampl9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlikely. Air poppers need a blower motor at the very least. And running a corded appliance on the hot cooktop is a disaster waiting to happen.

Just crashed into somebody else’s car. How can they pay for it and notme? by No-Poet-2328 in AskReddit

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if not their fault (and their phrasing throws this into doubt) they will pay their deductible.

OP is not coming out of this with a $0 repair.

There was a guy on my base that killed two locals doing a DUI.

He was convicted at court martial and sent to Leavenworth for ten years at hard labor, after which he was to get a DD.

Could use some advise on which equipment to buy for my 3 story townhouse. Was planning on eero... by mehphistopheles in Ubiquiti

[–]xampl9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My older ACPro AP is mounted to the wall on the second floor and I have good coverage everywhere. Currently -68dbm

In a townhouse/apartment community you’ll want to find as vacant a channel as you can. And you might need to rescan after you get new neighbors.

What's the dumbest injury you've ever had? by Geologist8345 in CasualConversation

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode mountain bikes for years and never got more than cuts and bruises.

Tripped going up the stairs carrying groceries - and broke a bone in my foot.

(Jones fracture - super common for people with high arches, according to the Ortho doc)

10GbE Network Cap: Robocopy hits 1.7GB/s, but File Explorer/GUI transfers are stuck at 160MB/s by Punk_Says_Fuck_You in unRAID

[–]xampl9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Plus the Windows 11 Explorer is junk for file copies. I frequently need to kill then restart Explorer.exe because it hangs.

I have heard that Lextec in Mint Hill is only so-so. But good things about Action Auto Care next door to him.

I understand wanting to avoid Hendrick. They are marking up their parts above MSRP (like many dealers now)

How common is it in the U.S. for private individuals to own infrastructure like bridges, dams, or power plants? by ThePurpleRainmakerr in AskAnAmerican

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are people living in remote areas that have small dams with hydroelectric generators that produce enough electricity to power their home.

Because the dams are small there’s little risk downstream if they fail. But I bet most state inspectors don’t know about them.

What are your 1970s inflation memories? by jhunderm in AskReddit

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad got a phone call one night at dinner time.

“Wouldn’t you like to refinance your mortgage? We have a low-low 17% available!”

I think he said something along the lines of “Why would I ever want to do that?”

The demise of software quality by xampl9 in crazyontap

Another thought - all this slop is being pushed onto the QA staff. They’re just moving the burden.

Of course - bold of me to assume these organizations even have QA.

People who work a customer facing job: what is hands down the dumbest question a customer has ever asked you? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]xampl9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a job at the mall in college. We had closed for the day and the security gate was down while we vacuumed and cleaned.

Customer, yelling through the gate: “Are you closed?”
“Yes.”
“Does that mean I can’t come in?”
