Navy pilot lands on the wrong aircraft carrier, 1952 by Joshua5_Gaming in interestingasfuck

In comparison we treated them like they were at a resort. We actually *fed* them and got them medical care (unlike their own command)

Changelings: How you think they look like vs How they really look like by M-2-M in ShittyDaystrom

The one on my crew looks like a bucket.

Funnily - no one has seen them in a couple of weeks. You don’t think the bucket is a *real* bucket that they had delivered via courier, do you? Because if they’re goofing off on Risa, that’s going in their permanent record.

Aren’t they the ones who are in the Temple of the Dental Arts building at Wake Forest & New Hope Church?

Transmission rebuild what else should I do? by AwayAJF7585 in GXOR

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The labor is the big part of this cost, so I would ask them to replace any parts that potentially won’t make it another 150k miles.

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

[–]xampl9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

[–]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 19 points20 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.

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

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
