According to Copart's definition, "only members with a Dismantlers, Dealers or Export license can bid on this vehicle and will receive CA Clean title or clean title transferable documents/title group: clean".

If I use my broker, can it be transferred to my name (not in CA)? Is it a export only vehicle?

Thanks

The main possible reason for a clean-title car with no body damage being sold at Copart by an insurance company is theft recovery. I checked for theft records, and this car is clean. It also has a clean Carfax.

If the car has an engine or transmission failure, that would have nothing to do with the insurance company, right?

I’d like to understand what other possible reasons there could be for cases like this: clean title, no body damage, insurance is the seller, listed as "mechanical damage".

Thanks!

A two-door car in my watchlist is missing the whole quarter panel, including the VIN tag on the driver's door jam. However, the VIN on the dash is there.

How bad is it for issuing the rebuilt title and selling?

Thanks

I've been living in the same house for 3.5 years, and I sign a new lease every year.

Two weeks ago, my AC stopped working, and my landlord still hasn't repaired it. Yesterday, the temperature inside my house reached 88°F. Every time I call, they give me another excuse.

I've decided to move and found a good deal on another rental. My current lease doesn't end until January 2027.

Given my situation, is there anything I can do, other than trying to negotiate with my landlord, that could allow me to break the lease without having to pay the associated costs?

Any advice?

Thank you.

I work for a large company in the US, and I absolutely hate going to dinners after work. I don't mind going out for lunch, but dinner? No way. Talking to people drains my energy, so by 5 p.m. my body is begging to go back to my cozy house.

When I was an individual contributor, I skipped every single one without a second thought. I don't think it had any negative impact, since I was promoted to lead my former coworkers a year ago.

So far, I've declined three dinner invitations as a manager. The most recent one included all the senior leaders, and my name was marked as "optional" on the Outlook invitation. Once again, I didn't go.

How badly could this hurt my career in the long run?

Is there any specific year/trim (>2015) that I can find a regular cab F150 (single cab) with a short 5.5 ft bed?

Thanks 👍

2024 car with a clean title and only 800 miles. Seller is "CarBrain".

I currently own a 2022 Prius Prime with 55k miles. No issues. I average 48 mpg driving at 75 mph.

My only complaints are:

1 - This car is slow. Specially when you need a bit more power.

2 - No Android Auto.

3 - 2WD (I live in the North).

What would be a reliable and fuel efficient option?

Toyota Camry? Crown?

Thanks

Tem vários Youtubers que são coaches de inglês mas, após 2 palavras de conversa, você sabe que ele não é do nível "nativo", seja pelo sotaque ou pelo uso de palavras e expressões que os nativos não usam ou usam menos.

Eu moro nos EUA há 3 anos e até hoje luto para melhorar meu inglês. Não que seja ruim, mas dá pra melhorar muito. Tenho mais de 40 anos.

Parece que o segredo para falar um inglês nativo é se mudar cedo (jovem) para o país onde se fala o idioma. Vi que alguns filhos de brasileiros que nasceram, cresceram e foram alfabetizados no Brasil e após 1 ano aqui, falam um inglês indistinguivel do nativo e começam a ter sotaque no português.

Se a idade é o único segredo, praticamente estou condenado a não chegar lá? Tem alguma coisa que seja realmente eficaz?

Obrigado

Todo o santo dia esse algoritmo sugere vídeo daqueles caras que falam sobre aviões (tem 2 principais).

Todas as vezes eu pulo. Nunca assisto. O conteúdo pode ser bom, mas eu não quero ouvir sobre aviões. E toda hora essa porcaria fica aparecendo no meu YouTube.

Estou tentando trazer meus pais aqui para os EUA onde moro (seria um vôo direto pra região de Chicago). Eles têm mais de 80 anos, então trazê-los na classe econômica não é uma opção no momento.

O Skyscanner só faz buscas na classe econômica. Tem alguma outra ferramenta ou dicas pra buscar?

Eu não consigo encontrar nada por menos de 5 mil dólares para uma pessoa, o que é bastante salgado.

Obrigado

I'm a team manager with 12 direct reports at a large biotech company in the U.S. One year ago, I was a scientist working in a wet lab.

While AI adoption is not as intense in biotech as it is in the tech industry, it's slowly becoming part of our day-to-day activities. Nothing concerning at the moment, but it will certainly continue to grow.

I've been wondering whether pursuing the management path will provide greater stability and opportunities in the long run, or whether staying hands-on in a technical role will be more valuable in an AI-driven future.

At least for now, switching companies as a manager is significantly more difficult than in a technical role. I would estimate that for every management position open, there are at least ten scientific positions, if not more. In addition, management positions tend to be filled based on trust and relationships as much as qualifications and experience.

What's your opinion on this? I'm considering stepping back to scientist.

I'm replacing the AC condenser of my 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz. I'm supposed to add 1 oz of PAG oil to it.

Which line (high or low) should I add the oil?

Thanks 🙏

Bought a 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz with curtain and seat deployed airbags (passenger side only). Driver hit an animal on the passenger front corner.

My plans are sending the airbag module for resetting, replacing the passenger impact sensor (attached to the radiator support), and replacing the deployed airbags.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks

PS: if your only comment is something like "if you are asking you shouldn't be doing it", please keep to yourself.

Is it required to add oil when replacing the AC condenser on a 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL?

If yes, which oil and how much?

Thanks

I won an unseen 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz with only 12,000 miles. It was listed with minor front-end damage, but when I picked it up today, I realized it’s not worth rebuilding. Parts are hard to find and expensive. I definitely should have done more research before buying.

I’m now deciding between sending it back to Copart or parting it out. I’m a private individual and have never parted out a car before.

Am I legally allowed to part it out? What happens to the salvage title that’s in my name? Can I send the frame (or whatever is left of the car) back to Copart after selling most of the parts?

Thanks

Boa noite. Sou brasileiro, moro e trabalho nos EUA. Lidero um time de 10 cientistas na área de biotecnologia (laboratório). Tenho absolutamente zero conhecimento em programação.

Ao longo do ano analisamos inúmeras amostras biológicas e, apesar de trabalhar em uma grande empresa, não temos um sistema único. É uma mistura de sistema desenvolvido em 2010 com planilhas de Excel. O problema é que o volume está aumentando e eu tenho que arrumar um sistema único pra todas as etapas do processo ou a coisa vai explodir.

Pelo que eu andei sondando por cima, comprar um sistema pronto aqui (LIMS) + adaptação + manutenção sairia perto de 1M de dólares (são muitos grupos de pesquisa que precisariam ser incluídos, além de ter que ser BPL - FDA 21 CFR Part 11).

Uma pergunta de quem não entende nada: uma pessoa experiente trabalhando full time por um ano remotamente conseguiria desenvolver algo realmente funcional? A empresa disponibiliza a maioria das IAs aos funcionários.

A minha ideia seria propor para o meu chefe um empregado full time trabalhando só nisso ao invés de comprar um sistema pronto. Quanto seria o salário de uma pessoa alocada no Brasil (com experiência)?

PS: não estou oferecendo emprego, estágio ou qualquer coisa parecida. Nem a vaga aberta ou aprovada eu tenho. Obrigado pela ajuda

My Copart app (Android) was recently updated. In this new version I can't find the little truck icon to estimate the shipping cost. It's gone. Also, coincidentally my cell phone is vibrating out of the blue.

Does anyone here is experience similar things?
