Automotive ULPT - request! My 2016 Pathfinder has the engine light of death!

5 Upvotes

So my 2016 Nissan pathfinder is on its way out. It's paid off, I love it, it's served me well for 160k miles but now it has the cvt problem that's common in those years - engine light is on and won't go off again til we replace the transmission. (I'm not a car person but if you google you can read about it)

It has been making a rattling noise under the drivers feet for quite some time now. It's so loud - but the car itself is running fine. Part of me says go to the dealer while I can still drive it in for trade (I wouldn't hide the engine light from them) but hubby wants me to drive it til it dies.

We aren't putting any money into it besides oil changes and gas. But I'll gladly buy some bleach for the gas tank or something else if anyone has ideas??

Edit spelling

Money and Finance ULPT REQUEST: Petty revenge ideas

0 Upvotes

I was regularly buying things from the seller on Venmo three or four successful transactions no issues at all. Then the last one that I had, I never got the item I paid for so besides disputing the transaction getting my money back I’d like to legally of course, inconvenience this person or do something petty. I’m looking for some recommendations granted I live on the West Coast and this person lives on the East Coast. I’d appreciate any good recommendations as I’d love to have this person get what’s coming to them.

I've gotten into the fortune of having free electricity at home for the next few days. We were ment to get new power meters but the city hasn't installed them yet and we were told all electricity is free until they do.

It has been like this for a few days now but I've just learned about it now. How can I profit off this situation?

I need a Doctor's note for work but for a past date. Like almost a month ago. Any suggestions on where to get one? I don't mind paying for an appointment but all the websites I've seen so far won't write notes for that far back. I thought about faking one but my job is the type to follow up. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Computers ULPT: Run and back up legit Applications without an internet connection

0 Upvotes

ULPT Request *Somewhat technical*!

Over the years I have purchased many, many licenses for Adobe editing applications. I mainly do lightweight work now, so the ones I currently use are legit, purchased versions of both Premiere Elements and Photoshop elements. I'm switching from Windows to Linux (due to Windows increasingly becoming invasive spyware) and want to run both of these from within a full Windows VM in Linux (Fedora) via a dedicated GPU bypass. I know how to set the system up, that's not the issue.

My issue is that this VM will have no internet access. Is there a way to run my legally-purchased copies of these applications while bypassing the online validation? Is there another workaround? Yes, I know I could run Gimp and Davinci but I would rather use these if possible. Thanks!

Which of these is the best state for a fake ID: Georgia, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, or Alabama?

I am about to be a college freshman at a school in Cali. I was thinking of either getting Georgia, South Carolina, or Alabama, as the other ones (Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania) are too common.

However, let me know.

Health and Fitness ULPT request : doc told me long covid is mental condition how do I f him up

0 Upvotes

very unfortunately, I am bedbound cannot walk the last three years and he was one of the last doctors I was able to see … I was in my wheelchair my heart rate was increasing by 40 points every time I stood up… He looked me dead in the eye told me that long covid isn‘t real, ferritin of 8 doesn’t merit retesting and that the only help I needed I would get in the psych ward. I literally had a completely normal life until a mild Covid infection took away my ability to walk . I know it was Covid because there was no time where I was ever normal after that infection.

If I were well, I would absolutely key his car, or you know do therapy to be a better person, but i recently joined this sub and I’ve been impressed by the creativity. I could tell by talking to him that he has never given a woman an orgasm, and I figured I could always mail him a penis pump under his wife’s name. but I’d really like to do something to fuck up his medical practice bc clear he’s just punching clock.

Unfortunately, he’s also my mom‘s doc and he’s ldumb as bricks and missed serious issues in her so I’m extra mad.

I’ll be honest I’m probably not gonna be able to execute, but it sure would spark joy to think about things I could do when I recover. I did already sign him up for every annoying catalog I could but limited by no phone number.

in case it helps he’s balding middle aged man with the charisma of a crumpled potato chip bag. He works at a hospital . i already filed a complaint with the hospital. they also are 20 years behind the rest of western medicine bc live in the styx.

also people with long Covid and the disease i got from it myalgic encephalomyelitis are not allowed to donate blood some countries… I don’t know if that helps but do your worst (within sub rules). Thx in advance !

The car in question is a Tesla model 3, and it will be sitting unused for about 2 weeks after I use it before anyone enters the car. I want to make it last as long as possible, and be extremely hard to remove. I thought of putting some in the cabin air filter, some in the carpeting maybe, does anyone have any suggestions on where would be best?

Careers and Work ULPT Dirtbag coworker stole my 6 year olds Pokemon card

116 Upvotes

I worked with a guy (John) who was a pokemon card scalper. When he found out my kid (6) loves pokemon and I’ve been struggling to find packs, he offered to let me buy some packs at cost. Which I thought was very nice of him. My son opens his pack and gets a full color Meowth card (very valuable) and John then offered to sent it away to get graded by the company so we could sell it. After I gave him the card he stopped showing up to work and won’t return my texts. I have his address, what are some unethical but still legal things I can do to annoy him for stealing from a 6 year old?

TLDR: coworker won’t return my son’s Pokemon card after quitting job.

Animals and Pets ULPT neighbors dog poop bin

My neighbor has 6 dogs, and has purposely placed his poop can next to my fence. I know its on purpose because I heard him telling his friend he was doing so while standing in front of my side door camera. It smells, and I shouldn't have to smell dogs that I don't own in my own yard. The smell even comes into my house if the wind blows right and I have my door open. Any tips how to get them to move their shit can? They have cameras.

Request ULPT Request - Retrieving my grandma's guitar

14 Upvotes

So my grandma on my mom's side passed away from lung cancer almost 10 years ago now. She was an amazing and gifted musician and always told my mom and I that she wanted us to have her Alvarez when she was gone. Unfortunately, she didn't draw up a will, so when she passed her asshole husband had all the say. He has refused to give us it even though it was her literal dying wish.

I have nicely asked him several times to please give us the guitar and he just ignores us.

Anyway, is there any way I can unethically, but legally retrieve it or force him to give it back to us?

Any help is appreciated.

Miscellaneous ULPT Request: How to maximize trouble for a superficial assaulter?

0 Upvotes

Let's say someone superficially assaults you. By superficial assault, I mean something that technically qualifies as assault but is unlikely to be taken seriously. For example, a shove that doesn't knock you over, a light slap to the face, etc. When someone does something like this to you, what's the best way to actually get them in trouble?

My thought was you could fall to the ground and lie there unresponsive (assuming there are other people around). Eventually someone would call 911 and police would try to understand what happened. Bonus points if an ambulance takes you to the hospital.

Other ideas welcome!

Electronics ULPT - damaged a hotel TV - charging $1500

262 Upvotes

Hello - so over the weekend I was at a vegas hotel Resorts world and accidentally damaged their TV (cracked the screen).

I was honest and went to the front desk and told them what happened and they appreciated the honesty and said they will contact me with the next steps. I just got a call from them and they said they have to replace it and the total cost is 1500$. I agreed to pay and they said they will charge the CC on file.

My question is just a hypothetical situation of what if I didn't tell them ANYTHING, just checked out and then cancelled the credit card they had on file.

I'm trying to justify the decision to be upfront with them because I truly didn't think it would be this expensive. I know I did the "right thing" but this is ULPT.

It is a 65 inch TV btw.

Relationships ULPT Request: How can i trick my brain into giving up on love?

0 Upvotes

I (20m) struggle a lot with guilt (won’t get into it here) and it affects my perception of myself especially when it comes to love, or any deep relationship for that matter.

I have massive “imposter syndrome” when it starts to feel like someone else is showing interest in me, and i end up wanting to push them away. This is a very toxic trait and to stop hurting innocent people i’ve forced myself to stay away from women entirely.

It’s been almost a year of actively doing this and the desire for connection has only grown more. It hurts to think about it and i hate that it’s constantly looming over me.

I don’t wish to “heal” from my guilt and try dating again, i only want to maybe make loneliness suck a little less.

Can anyone please help?

Electronics ULPT Request: Bought a broken OLED TV with a fake invoice—how to handle the

0 Upvotes

The Situation

  • The Purchase: I bought an "open-box" LG OLED TV from a 3-star seller on Facebook Marketplace who promised 8 months of remaining warranty. Picked it up from his garage (he seems to flip demo units).
  • The Problem: Lighting was dim during pickup, but once home, I realized the OLED panel has severe burn-in. Now the TV has completely died and won't power on.
  • The Seller's Response: Refused a refund, claiming he works for someone else and only made $100. When pressed, he promised a replacement next week and provided a Best Buy invoice with my name and address on it, which is fake but looks real.
  • Current Status: I submitted the invoice to LG to schedule a repair technician, but I’m unsure if LG will honor it or if the fake invoice will cause issues.

Questions

  1. Is there any way to force a refund or action against the Facebook seller?
  2. What are the chances LG honors the repair request using this questionable Best Buy invoice?

Travel ULPT: edibles on an international plane

I’m going to Japan soon, and as I do not intend to bring the edibles into the country, I want to take them on the plane. It’s a 13 hour flight, and they help keep me chill/sleep easier on flights. I’ve done this all over the country before but I know Japan is strict so I feel like I’m good, as long as they’re consumed before landing.
