@RJDittmer @Bowersbassets08 @E0_DS0_Omega @johnrich Its happened to me on several occasions with new cars
English
The first auto brand to make a pickup with ZERO TECH will sell out so fast it'll make their head spin. No brain, no GPS...just engine, transmission, rear end, and get the hell outta my way:)
English
@FennPol @RMcCormick412 @ClownWorld Yes, it’s totally up to the individual inspector and covered by state law.
English
@RJDittmer @RMcCormick412 @ClownWorld It was done by our pump tech and signed off on by our upper management and the guy in charge of the pump techs.
Also 'can'? So it's up to the specific inspector?
English
There’s been a lot of conspiracy theories lately claiming this little screw on gas pumps is some kind of scam to overcharge customers. This guy takes one apart and explains exactly what it’s for and what happens if it’s missing.
English
@FennPol @RMcCormick412 @ClownWorld It’s a hardware modification and in Virginia, where I live, an inspector can absolutely fail it.
English
@RJDittmer @RMcCormick412 @ClownWorld Lemme ask, why wouldn't you pass it? What effect does it have on the pump that it wouldn't pass?
My station had a W&M check a month ago and I talked with the guy about the 'screw scam'. The only reason one pump of ours didn't pass was the card reader, not screws.
English
@RMcCormick412 @ClownWorld If I’m from weights and measures, I wouldn’t be passing the pumps. So…what costs more, the $200 fix or the loss of revenue from having all of your pumps shut down?
English
@ClownWorld After I seen the videos I started paying attention and found every gas pump at every gas station around me has these screws in it. Obviously every gas station isn’t scamming. Do your own research people!
English
@eighteenholes18 @BigSwingTempo The rule is pretty clear though…I’d feel your warning would be overstepping the rule.
English
I’d say you’re coming dangerously close to being disqualified under Rule 1.2a, for committing a Serious Misconduct contrary to the spirit of the game. Playing away from the hole (then towards the hole) to help your playing partner is explicitly a violation (see Clarification 1.2a/1) so I can certainly see playing away from the hole to hinder your opponent’s play as being equivalent - at least, there’s a strong argument for that.
As a Rules Official, I would at the very least give you a warning. Consider yourself lucky. 🙂
English
Golf etiquette question for everyone:
I was playing a buddy in a match. Was tied going into the 16th hole.
On the green we essentially had the same 10 foot putt. If I two putted and he one putted, he’d win the hole.
So I purposely aimed and missed the cup so he couldn’t get a read. He ended up missing the putt and was big time mad I did that.
I was thinking from a strategy standpoint that if I bet he’d miss the putt, I’d tie the hole. If I gave him a read, he’d be more likely to make it.
Good or bad move? Against the spirit of the game?

@JasonBassler1 Hold a military grade magnet up to it and run it all around it, hold it there for a good full minute or more. Scramble it's brain, guts, and the egos of the shitbags who are watching.
English
Two years of researching Flock cameras and I still can’t tell you what these 3 mystery devices under the camera actually do.
Any hardware nerds want to enlighten me?

@magicnextdoor_ @roccopumpkin There are a huge number of people that feel resort guests should be able to get dining reservations at the resort they’re staying at. Good luck with that though.
English
@roccopumpkin Resorts are meant for resort guests, not the general public. The resorts are also meant for guests with dining reservations or other paid experiences happening at that resort, not the general public.
English
The upcoming changes to Disney’s transportation shows the divide between locals that actually stay on property and are capable of following the rules and your locals who think Disney is just an extension of their backyard and they should be able to free roam whenever they want.
English
@CbCtravels @ErictheBald72 @magicnextdoor_ @scottxavier That’s not what I was talking about…25+ years ago, one of the points in the sales pitch for DVC, was being able to POOL hop. They took that away from us.
English
@RJDittmer @ErictheBald72 @magicnextdoor_ @scottxavier If you are DVC and staying onsite you can still resort hop...
English
If everybody knows how to make a dining or resort reservation then nobody should have a problem. It’s very simple.

@E0_DS0_Omega @johnrich You clearly don’t understand how ac works in a car 🤣🤣. It can absolutely be done without electronics. Fuel injection, no electronics. Automatic transmissions…shocker, work without electronics.
English
@Bowersbassets08 @JasonPremoMFG @E0_DS0_Omega @johnrich There are a ton of instances where even the dealerships can’t fix them…
English
@JasonPremoMFG @E0_DS0_Omega @johnrich They make them so high tech so people cannot fix them themselves and end up having thousands of dollars in repair costs.
English
@ErictheBald72 @magicnextdoor_ @CbCtravels @scottxavier Part of the DVC experience…and a big selling point ages ago, was the ability to pool hop. Yet here we are. Times change, rules change. There are other places to spend your money. Disney is unapologetic in this area. If people keep paying the money, Disney won’t change.
English
@magicnextdoor_ @CbCtravels @scottxavier You’re not getting the point, part of the Disney experience is resort hopping.
English
Guess I’m never visiting a Disney resort again

Resort bus verification at Disney Springs is expected to become permanent. Cast Members will scan MagicBands to confirm a valid resort stay, dining res, or recreation activity before boarding. Rollout expected before the July 4 holiday week.
English
@Jaklgreen @magicnextdoor_ So many people are overlooking this…it will reduce the volume and congestion in the DS area that wasn’t ever supposed to be there
English
@magicnextdoor_ We can all thank the assholes that park at DS to go to the parks instead of just paying for the parking. I wish that people would just do the right thing instead of ruining everything for the rest of us.
English
Why would anyone have a problem with this? 🤔

English
@scottxavier @magicnextdoor_ It’s pretty simple…don’t do it from DS.
English
@magicnextdoor_ How about everybody who wants to resort hop and go get dinner and possibly drink someplace.
English
@johnkonrad @Delta Apparently you have the 75 IQ…they do this intentionally when you have no status, so you PAY for a boarding group upgrade. If you flew more you’d know this. All the majors do this.
English
Hey @Delta, quick question.
How does a SkyMiles member with over half a million lifetime miles who paid $1,000 for a 1.5-hour flight end up in Boarding Zone 8… of 8?
Did your loyalty program get outsourced to an algorithm with a 75 IQ?
English
Resort hopping is legitimately one of the best activities you can do at Disney, but it got ruined by creators showing faster ways to getting into the parks

@_Dream_Out_Loud @MelK_Ed Umm…until recently you couldn’t play it professionally here. Baseball is and will always be more popular in the states than soccer
English
@MelK_Ed Because until recently, it was basically a kids game in the US and the only way to play it professionally was to leave the country. It’s that simple.

@JohnPetersonFW Who gets drunk just sitting around at a DoubleTree?

I'm considering quitting all other jobs, responsibilities, and requirements to just sell stuff on Whatnot and eBay. This isn't likely, but I'm still gonna consider it for a while.
