What would cause my jeep to not charge all of a sudden while at the dealer?

I have a wrangler 4xe (leased thankfully), and I took it in for its second complimentary oil change as well as looking into a CEL for P2450, for which they replaced the evaporator canister valve or something.

They said when they first inspected it, it wouldn’t take a charge so they flashed and updated the software so it would charge again.

I asked them if it was due to something they did, because I charge it nearly every night. They said no, it just wouldn’t take a charge when plugged in but flashing the software solved it.

Jeep can have OK customer service

I scheduled service for my wrangler for a CEL and opted to standby when making a selection on their website. Also added an oil change and tire rotation.

When I got there I was told it would take one week just to diagnose the vehicle.

I showed them that I scheduled a service appointment for the CEL with standby so it should be done pretty quickly actually.

They said it would still take a week.

I asked for a loaner and they said they didn’t have any available.

I told them that that isn’t an issue at all, just please put in writing that they will take a week to look at the vehicle and will not provide me with a loaner, and that my goal was to lemon law the jeep so this will help me. I would just take the jeep back and keep the CEL on; since it’s a lease it isn’t an issue to me and they can have it back like that.

They were quickly able to make a special exception and rent me a vehicle.

Why don’t they just do this from the start though?

What light should I get? Surefire scout?

This will be my main HD gun once the suppressor arrives so I need a light for it. Is the Surefire scout the best option?

Guys, I did it! I became part of the Osight family!

I didn’t realize when I bought a cheap optic that it was more than just that. I wasn’t just buying a meme, I was joining a family!

Together, we aren’t just owners of Osights, we are brothers and sisters of a shit optic that has massive edge distortion, making the usable part of the sight glass very small.

We are a team that will love each other through thick and thin. We will have each other’s backs!

When someone said Osight is bad, we will laugh at them and try to convince them that Osight is just as good as the higher end stuff!

Thank you for having me in your family!

What counts as “lost time”?

I made an executive decision and gave myself 28 days off and I spent 25 days in the brig for it (they don’t count the day you get back from self-approved time off or the day you get out in the brig so it’s one less).

But since they have a whole dedicated block for it on the DD214 I’m wondering is there are other more common cases of lost time. I’d think it would just be a service remark if it wasn’t super common.

Swapping to Sig Romeo X Compact FDE - good choice?

Putting together a 43X soon and the holosun EPS carry will be good for it so I ordered an Sig Romeo X Compact in FDE and will throw this holosun on the new 43x.

Was FDE the right color choice in optic?

Counterfeit Jansport Going Strong - almost 3 Years

Nearly daily carry for almost 3 years and lots of air miles on this counterfeit Jansport.

It’s a GoRuck GR1 Heritage 26L that I made a Jansport patch for out of a Jansport bag that I took the patch off of.

How do you store small parts?

I feel like I’m doing some boomer life hack or something. I’ve started putting my small parts like sights and things that come with lights or optics or whatever in a fishing tackle organizer.

Now I can throw away the boxes and not have a bunch of bags in a random drawer.

Which Medal Should I Put on My Disabled Veteran Handicapped Plate?

I rate either the Global War on Terrorism Service medal or the National Defense Service medal, or an EGA. (Rifle expert isn’t an option unfortunately) (pic isn’t me but I have the same stack)

Is a digital piano good for a 7 year old?

My 7 year old loves music and he’s always singing/ humming songs and he does a great job at remembering and humming tunes for movies and scenes.

He wants a digital keyboard and I’m not sure what to get him. I was never into playing instruments.

Some googling has brought me to:
Roland Go Keys 3
Yamaha PSR-E48
Casio CT-X700

Are these all worth considering? Anything better or worse between them? Something else I should consider instead?

I bought my SSgt some massage oil, sexy dice, and a card - female Marine ruined everything

Many moons ago when I was awaiting dropping into the schoolhouse we had a few months of boredom (obviously).

So we were out in town one day at the Jville mall and I see some sexy dice at some random store. One of those like “lick” or some verb on one die and “nipple” or some other noun on the other.

For some reason I got to thinking that it would be fun to prank SSgt with these, but I didn’t quite know how at the time.

When I got back to base I was buying some cigarettes and found some floral massage oil, a little gift bag, and a romantic card and it all hit me. I wrote something about wanting to surprise him on Friday and to wait for another card. Then I put it all in the gift bag and put it on his truck early one morning before formation.

The rest of the week he was showing off about how he was gonna get some and how he had a secret admirer and he was the shit and bitches loved him.

He was doing little dances in formation like he really thought he was some sexy motherfucker. He kept saying things like “you bitches are gonna be stuck here while I’m out with a fine woman!”

This dude was so excited that he said we would be getting dismissed early on Friday so he could get some.

So Friday morning comes around and everyone is all excited to just clean the squad bays and then get dismissed for a little extra libbo.

As I’m cleaning duty comes up and tells me staff sergeant wants to see me.

I go up to the office and all of the gift back is on his desk and he’s looking real pissed off, sitting in his chair with his hands in front of his face, fingers touching the opposite hand’s fingers.

He asked if I had anything to do with this. I probably had a shit eating grin on my face as I said something unconvincingly like “with what staff sergeant?” Then he tells me lance corporal (female marine) saw me buying the oil and the bag and the card at the MCX and ratted me out.

So I had to tell him it was a prank that I didn’t think much of but I couldn’t say anything once it started escalating.

Then he had everyone stop field day and gather around in formation, where he announced that instead of cleaning and going on libbo, we would have no libbo at all that weekend and would clean all weekend instead, and it was my fault for pranking him, and that it probably wasn’t a prank and I was his secret admirer. 😂

Many people were pissed that I fucked up their weekend, but many more came to tell me that it was worth it and how funny it was to see SSgt hyping himself up all week.

HK needs to remake the entire USP line but optics ready.

No other changes- just optics ready.

And also they can skip making the .40 cal ones.

Circle 10 Mags Smell so Good

I can’t exactly describe it but it brings back so many memories. It smells like an armory, or an engine room, or a missile prototype production line, or submarine turbine test center. A combination of the above maybe.

Metal and oil, but not like basic machine shop. Smells like heavy duty metal and oil. It smells like industry to me.

I want to buy more just for the smell.
