    There are options for your case but you choose not to get tested.

    I just have a case of haters following me.

    I pretty much don't know more than the PriusChat handle of anybody around here, other than having met bwilson4web once under suspicious circumstances and thinking I might know who tochatihu is.

    So I pretty much learn what I think of each member based on what I see in their posts. Sometimes with a brand-new member I'm not sure what I think for a while. But I don't generally impose some ultimatum like "doxx yourself or I'll call you a liar." Don't see that I'd need to apply some different standard to Stencil_Box.

    Generally, I greet new members with a maybe not complete, but moderate, assumption of good faith. Usually gets adjusted upward the longer they're around to be known better. The few members who need a downward adjustment usually make that quite obvious in what they themselves post.

    Not following you, just laughing because you are being so ridiculous. You're too oblivious to even realize it.

    Hopefully you're making more money in your sleep than you made using that 'gas' card you were bragging about a while back. Gave me a good laugh, since I'd been hearing advertisements for it every day on the radio, and knew they were full of **** because the numbers they were throwing out were impossible. Then the commercials changed every month with lower and lower numbers and were still unrealistic. Isn't that the one where you cleared about 20 bucks in 7 years?

    Oh you mean the Upside app, its not a gas card, I actually use my Citi custom cash card on top of the app to save another 5%

    Then I use a Circle K card they give away sometimes to save an extra 10¢ a gallon.

    I have been using the app since November 2020

    So thats 4 years, here is a snap shot of total earnings using the app when filling up.

    Here is my invite code Y7Y2P
    You get a bonus when using it.

    Now if you do not like saving money then I guess you are ridiculous and oblivious. 20240707_124401.jpeg 20240707_125335.jpeg

    Thanks! I had almost forgotten it, but then you got me thinking "ok, how many PriusChat members have I ever met IRL?" and then I remembered it.

    Oh yeah, I also met FireEngineer that same year. He had become very good at quickly installing the Toyota engine block heater, and would drive around the country doing it for people. I bought the part from Metro Toyota, and then he showed up next to my driveway and installed one he had already prepared. He left with the one I had just bought, so he could prepare it for the next person.

    He told me I was right on his way. Turned out that meant right on his way to Chicago from putting another block heater in for someone in Virginia. Wouldn't let me pay him anything. I got him to take a loaf of nice bread.

    $3 a month isn't even worth taking my phone out of my pocket....even if you tripled it with other savings...
    but I'm happy for you that you can have some extra spending money. You must be doing something wrong though, because the lady in the original commercial said she "made about $300 so far this month". You believed it, eh?

    Took you that long to calculate all that?

    She must not have had a prius either, you know it all depends on the car/s you have and how much you drive and many times you fill up for gas right?

    Anyway I have grown tired of your childish ways and responses.

    You can keep paying full price for your gas and everything else you buy.

    I put $40 in the tank all the time and Im good for the week or week and a half.

    Our friendly moderator has the patience of Job....

    (Why do we say "the patience of Job", anyway? If I remember right, Job wasn't so all-fired patient really, and spent several chapters grousing....)

    all I am saying is some around the forum watering holes are individuals overcompensating for something, I'm no professional in interpreting the way some feel they are more important than they really are. What's most interesting is how most assume their logic to be undeniable while others like myself know they aren't perfect and for that reason alone can they ever be in a position to criticize anyone or anything.

    hahah that's why I laugh so hard when I read others' criticism and how they give off this vibe they are so perfectly able to not make mistakes when we all know that's false.

    ...lack of product safety?

    Not me.

    The great thing about logical statements is that a single valid counterexample proves they are false. This concept sparked the age of reason.

    I'm the first to admit I'm not perfect. Far from it... I've made so many mistakes in my life, but usually they're gone by the time I start selling a product to customers. I've learned plenty from my mistakes over the years... some call this domain expertise.

    Given that nobody is perfect, then by your reasoning nobody can criticize anything. That's why the scientific method exists; anyone can challenge anything, regardless of their skill level or expertise... and then the community can challenge those points, and then everyone learns and we all end up making better products.

    Glad you're having fun, too.

    [/QUOTE]
    I've made every mistake in the book... typically while still prototyping on the bench, but sometimes on RevA PCBs... almost never on a released product (and when that does rappen it's recall time).
