I have a situation where a security guard/doorman at my condo unit for a very large complex(200-300) who steals packages but returns then if contronted. Twice, it was weeks/months later with my packages. He takes them to a secret locked break room and doesn't inform you he did so and then claims you broke some arbitrary rule when confronted that neither the building or Property Management claims to recognize. ​​​

If you didn't figure out it was hin I presume he just takes them home but he has a legal excuse that he was punishing You by hiding your mail in locked secret rooms instead of placing with the other packages​​​​​​​.

The most recent third time on video. He took my non-USPS delivery to a secret room, removed itens, and I had to go to head of security who found it open with missing items. Was told twice he'd be fired but it never happened. My HOA has a board member who loves the guy so he's not getting removed. ​

I really am scared for the rest of my future mail since he seems to like messing with it.

Jaguar xkr, 2008 44k miles, automatic transmission, massive Alcon brakes... Yes I'm back posting again about the screw up from a mostly preventative maintence job. Shop has agreed to redo any poorly done work(ie paid for alignment, shop only did 1/4th of the alignment bolts, vaccum leaks, dead wires, uninstalled new parts).

Breaking at low speeds(as low as 2-5mph) almost always causes a loud long or short groan often by a very hard and loud rocking back and forth motion of the entire car especially if I fully depress the brakes. Lightly tapping the makes it a bit less rocking but this wasn't present much before. Perhaps rotors were warped and I did notice some similar behavior minus the groan before but no where near this bad and only which shifting into park sometimes. High speed breaking doesn't have as much rocking/judder.

Recently had a shop redo my entire suspension with oem parts(all control arms, sway bar links, tie rods, toe links, trans and engine mounts replaced) along with new brake fluid and porterfield R4-S brake pads. Rotor thickness was 35mm, when I measured with calipers so I decided to keep. Drove 300+ miles to brake in pads with no change in behavior

I'm thinking the rotors might be glazed or need to be scuffed, perhaps the jobs ignored the instructions to torque the control arms bolts with wheels not hanging in the air.

So I live in a 200 plus residential building that has a local but big third party Property Management Service that has a rotating set of contractor security guards for the front desk who also handle mail.

I've been owning and living here for 5 years and one of the newer guys on the schedule these past 8 months is very rude(mild yelling, very mean sarcasm, and demeaning tone in every interaction. Squidward from SpongeBob vibes is about as happy as ive ever seen him) and occasionally hiding mail to enforce rules about not returning the free cardboard usps mail bin. He doesn't inform you of this. He just secretly hides 1/10th of your mail and after a 5-6 weeks you realize it's too common to be a coincidence and confront him. At which point he hands you the mail in the break room and tells you it was retaliation and WILL continue to randomly hide mail packages until bins are returned. I got the impression if I never approached him, he'd have stolen the mail or trashed it. I met him many times and he never told me he was hiding my mail secretly.

Recently, a new lady, sober friend came over to my home very distraught and told me he was incredibly rude to her without even mentioning my name or unit number(I just assumed he disliked me only). I went to ask him to be nicer to my guests and he exploded and started screaming at me. I asked my neighbors and they said they also experienced similar behavior. I think a few other guests of mine hinted he was rude too. He seems to be a bit mentally ill imo. He also now denies ever hiding my mail in the first place.

Now I'm afraid of retaliation like him stealing more of my mail or keying my car during his security patrols.

What is the best way to handle this that gets him removed permanently or at least to ensure he does not mess with my mail? I feel like this guy has recieved plenty of complaints just for the rudeness alone so a mere complaint might lead him to just be even more retaliatory. He seemed to be very "prepared" when I asked to be nicer😂

I know a lot of y'all try to do it yourself at home but I'm pretty sure when it comes to stuff like microneedling with the big staple guns or lasers, yall go to the office.

For a readily legality reasons I make sure to take some acquired legally elsewhere painkillers before I go in for my RF microneedling which made the whole procedure actually kind of fun. I think the one clinic doc I use likes his own fun drugs so he's always giving me a slight raised eye brow look whenever I go to the bathroom right before 😂. ​​​​​

Obviously no Clinic is going to tell their clients to do this but I can't imagine doing rF microneedling with just numbing cream and straight sober. Feels like it would cause ptsd level pain. 😂 ​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I'm revamping the entire suspension on a jaguar xkr 2008(RWD) which is a luxury GT car not intended for the track. I realized right I only ordered some front Rubber Delpi Sway bar Bushings and forgot the rear sway bar bushings.

Should I upgrade to poly bushings for the front or just stick with the delpi rubber for front(only $30 so not a big deal)? For rear, should I get rubber to match or go poly?

I heard that for a luxury GT ride, poly sway bar bushings won't negatively affect ride quality like poly control arms....is this true?

So I have a jaguar XKR 2008 with 44k miles I bought in great condition except for some overdue major suspension, bad engine mount work I'm hiring a shop to do. I've been preemptively repairing cheaper and easier wear items myself the past few months and noticed the super charger belt looks pretty worn but not going to bust anytime soon. I doubt it's ever been replaced.

Since mechanic is bundling labor and hoisting the engine out, should I just replace the belt system with idler pulleys due to age along with the separate main accessory belt system? Alternatively, is it a "not broke, don't fix it".

As for parts, some guides same never buy a pulley or tensioner older than 5 years.

One pulley I bought OEM is 2018 cuz good deal? Should I get a newer non-oem pulley under 5 years old?

I've owned a Motorola Razr fold(book style )for about 1 month now and already had to do an RMA via tmobile service for inner screen damage once and when I got the new phone it's already got tons of micro scratches within a week on the inner screen under the screen protector, another small poke dot, etc. ​​​​​​to the point I'm considering a second rma

• Before this I owned a one plus open for three years and had two screen failures and no micro scratches or flaws under the screen protector.... I considered that thing a tank! Dropped it tons of times on concrete and traveled to 30+ countries with it.

I'm considering finally giving the Samsung foldable shot(Samsung wide). Was I just very clumsy and unlucky? Is the inner screen more durable?

June 1st surprise! Jaguar gets DuduOs support in latest beta app for Air Con.

DuduOs is an android OS used on chinese car maker BYD's car as their native OS. The Makers of DuDuOs allow other FYT based android head unit owners to install their OS on any FYT 7862/7870 unit. 

Full list of cars in link recently added:
Announcement of Deeply Adapted Vehicle Models (CANBUS) - DUDUAUTO

Newely supported Jaguar models:

LZ(HZ)-Jaguar-XK-2006-2013-(3670468)
LZ(HZ)-Jaguar-XF-2013-(4915652)
LZ(HZ)-Jaguar-XF-2009-(6029764)
LZ(HZ)-Jaguar-XFL PACE-2017.HIGH-13238724
LZ(HZ)-Jaguar-XFL PACE-2017.LOW-(12779972) Landscape + Portrait Screen Device
LZ(HZ)-Jaguar-F_TYPE-2015-(6881732) Portrait Screen Device
LZ(HZ)-Jaguar-XJL-2012-(7012804) Portrait Screen Device

FYI: LZ(HZ) is the only canbus maker supporting jaguar that I could find.

This was the final missing thing for full jaguar integration. I tried it before on my XKR 2008 but the DuDu Os Air Con app lacked integration for older jaguars thus sadly had to remove it.
Everything else was flawless integration for a replacement Android OS. 

It's superior, faster, regular updates, unlocks a ton of features(especially audio or UI) has active dev/beta community, and much better looking than stock UI with PIP than other android OS,

IMO, the best android head unit OS out there. They also have their own Android head unit hardware line too which opens up what we can install on our cars*(our options were pretty limited before and often to older 7862 units).*

Most importantly, DuduOs enables advanced audio support/configuration like optical/coax out even in older 7862 units like the tesla screens along with USB audio out to DAC(worked great on my prior 7862 FYT unit). Excellent PIP and UI features even for older 7862 boards with android 10. 

This is not a launcher, but a full OS replacement for android head units although they do have a separate launcher product if you want to try. Wouldn't be surprised if the beta app works without the OS but YMMV.

I'm a big fan of the beta and wondered if I was the only jaguar beta tester there since I joined a few months ago.

Did not expect my old jaguar to get full integration/support but these guys rock and made it happen. Props to the DuduOs team!

My voice has issues due to a medical issue I've been going through this year. Google home always worked great but the new voice match is horrible despite retraining 50 times.

Why did google roll out and force this system while not giving users with voice disabilities an opt out?

Are they at least working on it.
