  • Was it the right thing for me to do these things on the count of missing out on attending indoctrination centers for the latest trends? ?

    I missed out on attending a program where people are indoctrinated for metrosexuality and taught of new hairstyles, so I posted a lie online about myself being a paedophile back in 2016. I was then  blacklisted in error which my eldest sibling too unfair advantage of just to ensure the blacklisting remains in place permanently. I was now seen as a contemptible person since 2016 by kids, young adults and seniors who attended. I also tried to make myself fit the picture of a person seen as the exact opposite by getting my own mum to hate me. 

    Were these the right thing for me to do since I missed out on it?

  • Is there anything else I can do to make myself a super safe driver?

    Thinking of completing my probationary license period but I want to ensure that I am safe around pedestrians and myself when driving a vehicle. I always have these constant images in my head where I might accidentally hit a family member or pedestrian with my car if I don't do anything to make myself a super safe driver.  I have purchased a steering wheel, pedals and shifter combo for my computer racing games to help develop better hand-eye coordination. I have resorted to getting atleast 8 hours of sleep prior to driving. I have also thought of taking refresher courses. 

    Is there a way I can rest my right leg on the brake pedal without it activating the brakes and slowing down my car?  I do not like the idea of resting my foot on the accelerator pedal, particularly those with a drive-by-wire system that are very close to the firewall.

  • Is there anything I can do regarding past defamation of character and several unfair dismissals?

    A workplace bully, who got me fired from his company, had been keeping me unemployed for most of 2020 by impersonating me on several job search engines and making SEVERAL applications with each job posted. I fear such attack towards me will indefinitely prevent me from getting any other jobs after my current one which has been a contributing factor to my depression. I was a hard working employee of his company who always showed up to all shifts, including overtime shifts.

     This workplace bully is a line leader who does nothing but walk around  the factory. He framed me for plastic contamination because another employee had told him I "reported"  him to management, when it was that other employee who reported him. The other employee used me as a scapegoat to save his own job. 

    This workplace bully has limited my job opportunities and always looks very angry when he knows I am employed elsewhere.

  • How could a super intelligent person make such mistake in the first place?

    A person employed as a line leader sets up an innocent employee for a dismissal by framing him for something he didn't even do, all because the person who DID report him to management told him I was the one who reported him.   I call him super intelligent for being able to pull off such thing to get me fired from one of my previous jobs after an idiot told him I was the one who reported him when I didn't.

    This super intelligent person had also kept me UNEMPLOYED for most of 2020 by impersonating me on several job search engines with a damaging resume and a bad referee (his friend)

  • Where can I download a service/factory/workshop manual for an E56 XD with the M54 engine?

    I am changing the spark plugs in this car but I do not know the torque specifications for the spark plugs onto the cylinder head. I can go by the spark plug manufacture's specifications but I might damage the thread on the X5 cylinder head.

  • Can the tension of pedals be adjusted and pedals themselves more outwards to the seat?

    For some reason I feel a lot more confident driving when the pedals have a bit more tension and the pedals are further away from the firewall.  I don't seem to like the other car more because the pedal is a lot softer and closer to the firewall which makes acceleration a bit more sensitive. I like a bit of tension and the pedals furthest away from the firewall.

  • What am I doing wrong that's causing this Dell Latitude E6330 to refuse the new SSD upgrade? ?

    I removed the previous HDD and installed the new SSD,  changed the SATA controller to ACHI, changed boot priority to boot directly from the flash drive containing the recovery image and selecting the recovery option to install Windows. But all I get is a system error about the system drive being too small.  I then tried downloading a media creation tool directly from Microsoft and running from it using the flash drive that I formatted for the media creaton tool, but now I get these horizontal lines all over a black screen. I had to revert back to the HDD containing the previous installation which booted up with no dramas.  

    I will be downloading  the latest firmware and ATA drivers  available for this notebook and see if it will run on an SSD that is not from a brand the machine is locked to.

  • What are lawn vacuums used for, and do I need one?

    I saw something very interesting that looked like a typical lawn mower, but the part the engine sits on is raised and the wheels are taller and closer together.  I sometimes do lawn mow with a lot of rubbish in the front and backyards and was wondering if this machine would be a good investment. 

    I have coconut shells, aluminum cans and general rubbish that I just throw out the kitchen window because I'm too lazy to empty out the kitchen bin..

  • Is this iPhone 12 Pro legally mine (still under contract)?

    I use an Apple iPhone 12 Pro that I had acquired through a phone plan and was just wondering if the phone legally  belongs to my telco provider since I  am paying for it in installments.  It is my understanding the telco provider paid Apple in full and the telco provider  expects its customers to agree to a plan to pay the telco company back?

    What happens if I don't pay for the handset?

    What happens if I paid over 80% of the handset?

    Also is it illegal for a telco provider to refuse a refund for a service I never used? I spent hundreds of dollars for a SIM-only plan I never used and they keep refusing to cancel that service by offering me a new plan for a tablet..

  • Any reason why my RTX 2080 Max-Q would have little render distance in Minecraft?

    I've updated to the latest device drivers, enabled RTX in Insider Preview (option not available in Minecraft for Windows 10 RTX), set max render distance to 24 chunks, made changes in Nvidia Control Panel for anti liaising to  program-controlled,  and downloaded a map designed for RTX. However, the render distance does not go far even after setting 24 chunks. The water looks very clear and vibrant while the lights only have a small smog around them when up close and a bit of lighting reflecting off the walls.  

    Here's a preview from my Facebook profile.

  • Is it possible 2nd hand smoke is what caused me to become sick?

    Hi all,

    I seem to have had a very  sore throat one day, feeling unwell the next with a migraine headache with coughs and sneezes, and now just feeling unwell.  I tried using cough medicine but no mucous has been discharged in the last 8 hours.  My temp reading in the morning was also 36.

  • Is it possible to add a 3rd party temp sensor to a car's existing cooling system by connecting it to the thermostat housing? ?

    I want to remove my car's mechanical fan and replace it with an electronic fan that will sit between the engine block and radiator. I was thinking of connecting the new thermo fan to the existing wiring, but that socket is being used by another fan that sits in front of the condenser and behind the front bumper. I was thinking maybe modifying the existing piping to the thermostat housing by placing a 3rd party temp sensor and then a pass through adapter to the existing piping. By doing so, I will improve MPG while improving throttle response by replacing the mechanical fan with an electronic fan. . 

    The vehicle is a 98 E46 323i BMW.

  • Is it considered grounds for dismissal if I lie about having a criminal record online and telling my employer I do not have one?

    I used to post lies about myself being a convicted pedophile online and was just wondering if my dismissal from one of my previous jobs had to do with me telling the employer I do not have a criminal record, which is correct. I am under the assumption they did assume I am a criminal and thought they could just dismiss me since they do not have access to my police record to see if I have any findings of guilt or convictions. I also found it suspicious why the supervisor would say I created some damage by associating myself with the company with those lies I posted about myself. 

    I do not have any findings of guilt or convictions recorded on my police record

  • Were there ever any Indigenous Americans who fought alongside the American or British armies during the revolutionary era? ?

    I remember seeing a painting online of an indigenous American in what looks to be an American revolutionary uniform (blue) holding a rifle. I am not from America myself because I only studied the history of Australia like Captain James Cook, but I am developing in interest in American history.  

    What was their motive for joining the army?

    Were they also allowed to wear the revolutionary uniforms as a way to stop friendly fire from their white American counterparts?

  • Why do car thieves always try to put in a different engine in each car they stole, and why does the ECU through in funky codes afterwards?

    Scotty Kilmer replaced a MAF sensor from a Toyata that was stolen because the previous  MAF sensor on this replacement engine made the car run like crap.  He also pointed out cheap welding and reasons not to buy cheap Chinese crap MAF sensors as it is a critical part of the car. 

    What does replacing the engine in a stolen car offer the thieves?

  • Is it a recognized business module to sell very cheap printers while charging a lot for the ink cartridges, and is it a form of gambling?

    Kind of like some printer manufacturers would spend  a fair amount of money making these inferior printers in the hopes they can recuperate the costs by customers paying through the nose when it comes to catridges?

    I'm actually smarter than that because I bought an ink tank printer for $300 that actually comes out much cheaper in the long run with its $15 ink  bottles, as opposed to buying $40 - $50 on ink cartridges that will either leak or dry out before the consumer can even use half of it.

  • Realistically, IS there a way out of this situation? ?

    I was blacklisted in error from ever attending a program to be made metrosexual because I posted a lie about myself being a paedophile because I felt frustrated and angered for missing out in the first place when my parents took my siblings.  My eldest sibling then took unfair advantage of this blacklisting that was placed in error by getting the sister to go back to that place to confirm what I said was true. To this day, I am seen as a contemptible person by metrosexuals especially if I get a certain haircut, dress in a certain way or appear at certain places at certain times. 

    Metrosexuality is actually an identity that I closely align with well with my personality  before my parents took my sibs to such programs

  • Any tips for trying not to get pi$$ed off at my immature brother?

    My 34-year-old brother has NEVER  worked in his entire life, still lives with parents and siblings, causes all sorts of problems for family members and he breaks my expensive belongings whenever he gets angry at me.

    Some things I had taken to account what he did to me:

    1 - Property damage. He SMASHED an  $80 bike tool of mine to pieces and left one of the $30+ bottles of solvent  half-closed so all its contents had spilled into the container containing  the other solvents and bike tools. He has no concept of money when it comes to the value of each item he has broken.  

    2 - Sleep deprivation. He would deliberately keep me awake at night to help him clean or to convey messages to the little sister to help clean. He also gets very angry if things do not go his way. He also wants me to stay awake up at night to make the correct water-to-bleach ratio.

    3 - Defamation! I was blacklisted in error from ever attending programs for being made metrosexual because I missed out when parents took my sibs including him and because I posted lies about myself online to vent out my frustration for missing out.  Blacklisting was placed in error and my eldest sibling took unfair advantage of it by getting the sister to go back to that place and confirm my lies are true.  I was then seen as a contemptible person by metrosexuals  ever since he did that. 

    I would feel less angry and frustrated if I know there are others here who know what he's like.

  • Does the American army still use those old civil war attires to this day for ceremonial purposes? ?

    I just watched an American Army Hell March video with what looks to be American soldiers dressed in civil war attire playing  flutes or recorders as they walked past Donald Trump. 

    Do they still use them?
