I have a locked Pixel 8p Verizon won't unlock it, any ideas?

To start this, I WONT USE ANY SITE THAT HAS ME PAY A FEE TO UNLOCK THE CARRIER, it's some bullshit. I've tried contacting Verizon but they can't do anything without the old carrier ID which is held with the person who used to own the phone. I went into the store and they can't do anything (waste of gas) and now I'm just stuck with a 8p. I could buy an unlocked Mobo off of eBay but idk if that's a risk I'd be willing to take. Any thoughts that could help me out?

How do I get a bat out of my attic?

I've been up since about 2am, went down stairs about 3ish, came back up at 3:30 to grab my phone and I noticed something flying around in the dark, there was a bat with a foot long wing span flying around my main entry way. Only way it got into the main entry way is the hole in my celing from when the chandelier came down about 4 years ago and we moved it over just a bit. Now there is about a 7in hole in our celing that this bat is coming through to get into my house. This hole is about 20ft up roughly so I'd need scaffolding to get up there to patch the hole. Any idea on how to drive the bat out or will I need to just get someone to drive it out for me?

Update, wildlife control is on the way and the bat was not in the attic

Yet another update, as of 10:32 the bat is gone, it was a lil brown bat, my house is now bat free.

pure crashing on first jump

first time trying emulation and i wanted to play this again bc my disk got messed up, just this is my only problem. I load in and let it sit for a minute then it does in the video, i go in quick and i can get one lap done and then it crashes on the same jump. Any ideas on what could entail the problem?

Update after a few more tries, i got past the first lap and got onto the timed lap, it think it has something to do with preloading before the jump itself.

yet another update....send 20,000 volts through me and take my ram when im not looking

I have been approved!!!

After so long, I have finally gotten out of MEPS at Fort Lee. Wasn't expecting to be up so damn early but it is something I'm going to have to get used to. Anyway, I talked to my Recruiter and I swear in tomorrow, I should be leaving in September. Any tips aside from packing all my stuff?

UPDATE: Thank y'all for the advice to far, I will take all of that and get ready for the 9 long ass weeks ahead of me!

Anyone else noticing the amount of porn being posted and not just via the images?

So this is gonna be short as hell but I think insta is having a mental breakdown after the images update and it's been all just porn, 99% and then like 1% just normal stuff but I've already had to deactivate two of my accounts bc of probably being at risk of something. I had already come across 3 accounts posting just straight porn and nothing was being done about it, I even reported them. Once I go and switch to another account of mine, I had to verify it was me and I wasn't a bot (suffice to say meta knows my face better now). Now I have two of my main accs deactivated and my third is deactivated aswell but being looked at by Instagram like I just committed a felony. Hopefully all will end soon after the 10th and I can go back to doom scrolling and acting like a bafoon with my friends.

Ah yes, NWS is doing something

Gotta love being under a severe storm watch and there's barely anything coming in. Mind you, wind is slowing me down

Anyone see the jets flying over the Waldorf/Brandywine area?

I was out helping an older couple at their house and I heard a loud roar, look up and I get a glimpse of like 8 jets in formation, they looked like stunt jets, less so much military jets. Any other people spotted them or get pics?

Main display problems with Android Auto (2022 TrdSport)

Anyone else have random cut outs when they have apple car play or Android Auto going? I've been trying to figure it out in my mom's truck since she got it but we haven't figured it out, no recall I've tried all the things I've seen online like restarting the unit but nothing has fixed it. Any ideas?

What Is a sound. It's coming from my crank set

And the other thing that doesn't help is the fact that this is my commuting bike to and from work. So if y'all could help me out with this then I would be grateful. Thank you!

Made another patch, this one was a bit harder to do because it was within the confines of the driverseat of a Tacoma. But alas, it works well. There was no previous picture sadly. I used another pair of old tight pants to fix it, it blends in a lil too well in my opinion.

Anyone try making the frame into a full carbon fiber frame or would it be too weak? I was looking at rear sus for like a higher end MTB and I was wondering if there were any carbon fiber parts that I could replace at all for weight reduction
