  1. Solid advice. My Porsche was like this, I had to pay the dealership to turn the light off after disconnecting the seat.
  2. Cut a hole in it, or cut it off completely. How much is a new handle? Could you use JB weld or some such thing to attach something to the broken handle in the door? Like on the end of a plastic rod or something? Can you post pics?
  3. I wasn't making a point about that either way, just stating something that on retrospect may not even be relevant to the conversation. Carry on.
  4. This is the reason for social security. Not to be a retirement plan, but a backup in case private funds get depleted. Implemented after the market crash that led to the great depression.
  5. Fiverr is a great place to find designers for things like this. Not too expensive either. Stickers, logos, etc.: https://www.fiverr.com/hire/sticker-design
  6. If someone is brandishing a weapon and threatening to use it, they are armed.
  7. If I'm having a good-faith discussion with someone, yes, I expect someone to change their opinion at the end of the discussion, or at least learn something. That's what it looks like from outside the discussion, and I don't understand the point. It's a troll move for sure, especially if it's against someone specifically for their ideology or party rather than specific policy. Looking back, I think that has offended me more than anything you've specifically said to anyone personally. I think I took your general view (seemingly looking down on those who disagree with you, it comes across pretty arrogant) as offensive and as attacks. Yes I understand the irony in me saying that. Looking back on your posts, you are right, you never insult anyone directly, but you are insulting to groups of people (once again, usually the groups who disagree with you). I can't speak for Greg or Kerry. I usually agree with Kerry politically but he's such an offensive person to me that I have placed him on 'ignore' here on CR so I don't see his posts. Once again, I feel that engaging with him is ignorant and pointless. He adds nothing to any discussion that I've seen. Your posts at least have clarity and intelligence, he gets emotional and goes off on tangents. I've engaged him in the past for the same thing. I believe he is incapable of learning. And yes, he absolutely is a troll for using the tactics he uses.
  8. So you're a troll with no real desire to change anyone's mind, just insult people who disagree with you?
  9. Why don't we have a 'like' button on CR? This is a great build. The car you built is more impressive than the car I bought
  10. Why is your go-to reply just to repeat what your opponent says? I'm asking honestly. BTW, your response to this post is how I view the entire thread - why argue about it when arguing does no good? It's a literal waste of time.
  11. A self managed retirement fund can invest in real estate. Read up, follow the rules, and talk to Brad on here (Zx2guy or something) about investing. You can't touch real estate returns for investing.

  13. I have a salvaged Mazdaspeed Miata.
  14. At 190, the temperature it was being served at, it removes flesh from bone within 2-7 seconds. They have since modified the temperature at that location to 158 degrees, which is still damn hot. Over 700 people had been burned and there were internal communications at McDonald's that stated they knew the risks of coffee that hot. It's absolute criminal negligence at that point. The woman did not sue to get any money for herself, she only asked for her medical bills to be covered. The jury awarded her punitive damages on their own due to the severity of the negligence in this case.
  15. Me too. I have a friend who is an attorney who schooled me on it years ago. I'd watch this. Red Hot Genital Peppers
  16. How much could I pay you to pour 190 degree coffee on your genitals, burning away all skin and fat and disabling you for 2 years? $480k? That's what she ended up with. There is an entire semester on this case alone if you go to law school This was one of the most successful smear campaigns ever started by a corporation against a consumer.
  17. Looks like RH lifted restrictions and the price has gone up significantly. Might be a good time to get in while people are buying since it looks to go up from here.
  18. The email I got from TD Ameritrade:
  19. I probably post differently when I respect someone.
  20. I just want to point out to anyone reading this thread that this isn't how racism or anti-racism works.
  21. He bought some parts from me, showed up short on cash, I trusted him since he was an upstanding member at the time but I had to chase him down for the money. It wasn't much money, only like $40. Not sure if that makes it worse, or better.
  22. I had it and struggle constantly. I have a hard time breathing, and I can feel my heart rate change, in a bad way, 3-4 times per week. I need to go get checked out. They are saying that Post-Covid patients, even those who were asymptomatic, have serious long-term scar tissue damage to the lungs.

    The older stuff is just relay logic using contacts, right?

    From an engineering perspective everything has a useful expected life. Parts need to be changed on a scheduled basis to ensure it's working properly. If a machine is engineered properly, and maintained the way it should be, and the part was made with no defects, it should always work as expected. Since the previously listed items are almost never at 100%, we have failures.
