re: The US is now officially involved in the Israel-Iran war
Posted by MikeAV8s on 6/15/25 at 12:42 pm
Exactly. It’s almost as if people can’t read a map. Israel is our only true ally in that entire region. Anyone who believes a weak Israel doesn’t directly affect the United States in a negative way isn’t very smart. We need them almost as much as they need us.

We could theoretically have a Murray State/Coastal Carolina final.

I can absolutely relate. My youngest is just over half way through basic training. He is my youngest, so we really have an empty nest. Don’t know what branch your son is in, but it’s probably universal, that first call will be rough. My son was a little homesick. When he called in week 5, he was an entirely different young man. I say all that to say, it will be fine. And congratulations on raising a fine young man.

Good lord, this might be the dumbest baseball take I’ve seen in a long, long time. I won’t bore you with actual baseball stats because I’m not sure you could understand them.

Yeah, that’s not the two groups yelling like they have been shot in the leg.

It’s funny that he never mentioned any team one way or the other. However, there seems to be two groups on here that are triggered by his comments. Very curious.

I didn’t read the wall of text, but the title is true. It fundamentally changed the workplace. Those who are adapting and accepting are doing better.

This dude is just a bully. Look how he pokes his finger at the groundskeepers chest 40 times. If you act like that in almost any other setting in life, you get to find out. He acts like this because he gets away with it. I would have paid that guys bail if he would have knocked the crap out of him.
re: Dealership service issue -

That’s a terrible analogy. If you want to use windows, a better analogy would be, you are having one pane in your 20 year old 6 pane window replaced. When removing the glaze, an adjacent pane broke. Here is what we don’t know, what did they tell OP beforehand? How bad is the crack? Is there even a replacement dash available for a damn near 20 year old truck. I’ve been in throw a long time, it is very very rare that a customer is told to kick rocks.

I know I’m gonna get downvoted to hell for this, but whatever. Yes I work at a dealership, no, not the service department. I’m in parts. First, your dash should probably be replaced assuming it wasn’t already cracked before. Here is the problem, you’re not gonna want to hear it, but here goes. There is a safety recall, the dealer has no choice but to do the repair. The vehicle is old and the plastic is brittle, you can try to be gentle, but there is always a good chance something is gonna break. The manufacturer will absolutely deny a warranty claim for the dash. The dealer probably made $50 for the whole thing. The dash is probably 1000-1500 dollars and they didn’t do a damn thing wrong but perform the recall on an old brittle vehicle. Bombs away boys.

Don’t know, that’s why there was a question mark at the end of my sentence. I didn’t have time to consult my tax attorney…..

I think many non profit and not for profits are tax exempt, no?

My wife is going through this. We paid to have the car completely fixed, it throws an error code less than a week later, and they told us we need to pay a diagnostic fee so they can see what's wrong and if it's on them, 250 dollars. I have a freaking reader, it's on one of the exact systems they worked on, and generally means one of the tubes was not put on correctly. We are going to another mechanic, confirming that's what happened, and I'll sue their arse in small claims court.
This is why the dealership won’t reflash the PCM before putting new cats on. There is a diagnostic routine, every DTC has one. Without reading the TSB I’d be willing to bet OP is either leaving something out, or adding something to it. Tech has a code, he follows the routine prescribed. If cats come before flash, that’s on the auto maker, not the tech or the shop. I’d bet eleventy billion dollars the dealership isn’t just blindly ignoring a tsb just to sell some cats.

Auburn has a tough day ahead. If they can beat FSU twice today, they could make some noise down the stretch. I’m hopeful, but realistic that it will be really tough.
