This is rampant right now - if you get an email that contains a link, it's a scam I'm not worried about my former accounts - I honestly forgot I had them and they contained absolutely nothing of even remote value within.

Rhyno posted:Another thing to be worried about, Amazon's security is garbage. My girlfriend changed her associated email and she was later hacked but since the card was expired nothing came of it. But she was unable to recover her account. I registered my Amazon account with my yahoo email back in 2002 and despite numerous breach attempts I have always gotten control back because I still have that original yahoo account dating back 14 years. I've read of similar incidents where people have lost access to their AP accounts after a email change and a hack. See hearing poo poo like that is the main reason I'm still using my gently caress-ancient AOL account that I've had since 1996 (I was 8) - I've used it for so much poo poo I worry about losing access.

Mine will look at what's on formulary for my insurance, and adjust as needed, which is nice. Insurance formularies are stupid.

Hopefully my cholesterol is down enough that I can either get off of it or lower my dosage. If it's not, the next higher dosage is only an extra 15 mg (I'm on 140mg now).

People thinking they're getting lucky with "John.Smith.87@yahoo.com" and getting password reset emails for the original's accounts.

I've either changed email address or started new accounts and am using my Gmail account for everything. 2FA, secondary gmail account as recovery, also with 2FA. I'll still (likely) get hosed, but hopefully not.

We went back and forth with them for two weeks over my girlfriend's hacked account. Each time it's happened to me I've been like "Same email since 1999, same phone number since 2004" and they fix it right away.

Jesus gently caress this year can't end soon enough -  Sheriff's deputy stopped ahead of me on a two lane road to talk to someone walking on the shoulder just over a hill. 20-something in a late model Fusion didn't see us stopped (had to be texting or at least glued to her phone) and slammed into the left corner of the rear bumper at least doing 40. Rear bumper all but fell off, rear quarter panel is hosed and the trunk is pushed in, likely going to be written off. NADA puts its value at $5800 so hoping they give me enough to pay off the loan & then some - currently owe about a thousand less than its worth.

Sucks man, but hey, if it does get written off, there's a few parts... I found red snow on the ground under her earlier. The cool thing is I just put a bunch of red fluid in it after doing the thermostat and Mister Transmission just put a bunch of red fluid in it after repairing the transmission leaks. The simple test here is to taste it, if it tastes sweet, coolant, if it tastes like the unfathomable suffering of an orphaned kindergartener, atf, but it is my understanding that putting either of those in my mouth is a very bad idea.

Finally got the "repair" pieces for our potentially explosive samsung washer. This is all the repair parts they sent. sticker number 1.  stickers number 2 and 3. One of which re-locates the word "bedding" over to "delicates" and re-names the "bedding" setting to Denim/jeans.   "safety is our top priority, therefore here are some stickers, good luck!" they're going to get their rear end in a top hat hosed inside out by the class action suit.

For about 2 minutes it chugged and geysered coolant. I figured out how to avoid getting hit in the face after the first time. The point of this story? It was sweet, no bitterant that I could detect.

Prestone Dex-Cool. Comes in a yellow bottle, looks kinda orange-red. I mean, dear god I hope I've put the right coolant in it. Ford used the same engine and the coolant they used is apparently Ford's version of Dex-Cool and the difference is it's red instead of orange-red and the internet told me it's okay.

Samsung is a blacklisted brand for me now. Well I managed to get about 28MPG when it was 15°F. It seems like my car's fuel efficiency trends downwards be colder it gets. Which sorta' makes sense and I heard that it's a bit worse for hybrids.

If your engine is cold and you are driving it cold, your efficiency suffers due to some of the heat being absorbed by the cold engine block. It also limits fuel injector spray efficiency.

I was laying under my truck doing the diff, and i opened the cap on the ford friction modifier and it was still sealed with plastic. Being a lazy oval office, i figured i would just bite the tip off the bottle and dump it in. That was like 3 years ago, i can still taste it.

Three-Phase posted:Samsung is a blacklisted brand for me now. Check the tire pressure and consider a grill block if it's like the Prius. Warm weather I can do 50+mpg on the highway, cold (like 15f) it's lucky to break 40 with the grill blocked. Maybe 35ish without. It's gone as low as 29 with low tire pressure, cold air, wind and mountains. It's more than just the engine block with a hybrid. They rely on being able to shut the engine down at times to make the MPG figures they quote. Between keeping the interior warm and keeping the catalyst warm on a cold, cold day they will never shut off.

Best tasting automotive fluid is battery acid. Tangy lemon/citrus taste. Shame it would horrificly murder me if I drank a glass.  Edit: 14, your destination has lows in the mid to upper 60s, highs in the low eightys/low seventies. Get down here! Elmnt80 fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Fermented Tinal posted:Oh, I know it's terrible, but I didn't want to flush and put in the only other coolant I had on hand. I wouldnt lose any sleep over it. Going the other way around might bring you trouble though due to additives packages against cavitation. I run regular green in the truck (for now) with a SCA additive. the bus has ELC fleetgard with SCA in it plus a filter that keeps it charged. The shits pretty loving spendy, and it likes to leak~8 gallons a year due to an old super hard to find coolant pump. Old brakefluid is the worst in taste. Old gear oil is the worst in smell.

Wow, what a drive I just had. Decide to go to late showing of Rogue One, figuring since the side streets are all bad nobody will be there and I'll be able to be all creepy towards the 6 or 7 other brave souls who made it in to watch. Before I even get outside I hear a car in distress, having gotten caught in the deep snow that still encrusts my street. It's my neighbour across the street, with his recently-purchased 2012 altima, with the bald-rear end allseasons it came with spinning happily. I started my car so it could heat up and with some effort (he's not the best driver), manage to help him out and he gets going. I brushed off my car, put my shovel away, and hopped in with the distant hope that I would get to see a Except I guess this gold 2012 nissan altima decided it wanted to make snow angels at the end of the street, a mere 15' from the intersection. It must have really been in the Christmas spirit too because it was making all sorts of sounds and white, blue, and black smoke issued forth from the tailpipe in rapid succession as the car lurched back and forth. I sigh bitterly, curse my neighbour, stop, put on my 4-ways, and within a minute or so managed to get him on the road, in the opposite direction he wanted to be in. He drove off without so much as a thank you, what-loving-ever. Meanwhile my car's traction control didn't even bother to blink its light to tell me how utterly worthless it is as I navigated the same (now torn-the-gently caress-up) glacier that was once a road. I don't even bother looking at my phone, certain it's 10:45 or later and that right now some hot actress chick who's name I don't actually know off-hand does awesome things and star wars and boobies and man I was gonna smoke this fat joint too... Drive was uneventful, get to the theatre, pop out my phone, ten, thirty-loving-four, hallelujah! Looks like it's open because there's like 50 cars in the lot and Giant Tiger isn't open this late so- Door's locked. Two teenagers barely even looked up to grace me with a 0-fucks-given-what-are-you-gonna-do-about-it before going back to their phones. Yeah, gently caress you too. Now, as any goon, who just missed out on MAH STAR WARS, and having been totally burned by those shitlord teens, my wounds needed licking. Preferably with Sweet and Sour sauce with McNuggets because hey, I know they're not food but I love them anyways. Somehow there's a lineup at the drive-thru despite the fact I hadn't seen another vehicle on the road at all, and the guy ahead of me, blocking the ordering terminal (the eat-in area closes at 10), with his loving hood up! No idea what it was for but once he noticed there were other people behind him he dropped the hood and went on his merry way. Let's amp this up to 11, I ordered a milkshake to go with my mcnuggets, and large fries too please because I said meal. gently caress winter, gently caress the sixteen loving inches of snow I had to shovel and blow from two 12'x60' driveways, I'm having liquid ice cream. Get back on my street, neighbour is once again stuck, right in front of my driveway. I once again implore to him the utilitarian reasons for winter tires and also suggest that he take his unhappy-sounding and smelling car to a mechanic. Get him back in his driveway, he wants to shoot the poo poo after this so we do, meanwhile MAH MCDONALDS is getting cold/warm and I'm silently cursing his very existence. Finally manage to make it inside, sit down, there's no fries in the bag but the receipt clearly says I paid for them, and now it's snowing so hard you can't see your hand in front of your face. That's it, I've had it. I'm having me this goddamn loving milkshake if it is the last sane thing I do as an adult male and if anyone dares try to take this away from me I WILL loving END YOU!
