Ah, the coil pack. Get a replacement mounting bolt. Call AutoZone or whatever parts store you have near you. They should have something in stock.

What was zip tied?

Wondering if you're:

Obviously I defer to the Dad-In-Chief, Plankton, but I don't think you need worry about a spark plug shaking loose. Put it in tight with a spanner and it'll usually stay put. As for the plastic sleeve (or in your case, a metal cylinder?) at the end of the elec cable, if that does pop off the spark plug for some reason, (i) you should know it immediately by the sound of the engine not firing regularly and (ii) it won't do any damage; just push it back into place, but harder.

That's what I'd do on the kind of old car I'm familiar with, but I've never looked under the hood of a KIA, so follow P's advice about that fancy bolt that's sheared off.

DIC... thats a nice monogram. lol I kid I kid.

I remember driving around on 4 cylinders in a 6 banger for a while when I was a lot younger and didn't care. Sure it won't mess much up right away, but it causes fuel deposits and sludge in the motor. Acceleration loss as well.

Then you have the MDS on the newer Hemi's. I turned that off when I remembered to.

I don't fing know what to do with this bastard, I know I got the right parts and put them in the right places the right way but I can't even get the toaster looking pos to start so I'm giving up on it - it's not even my car!

Seems ultimately that the problem is that kias suck and why would you buy one

Have you tried putting grease on the chain?

Its conversations like these that make me glad I live in a city. I prefer the subway.

If we had a subway, or a reasonably built light rail system, I'd use it. I have to drive 200km to use a subway.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The sandwich place?

#EatFresh?

Exactly right

Good.
Phooey on those who don't eat fresh, I say.

Subway is delicious. Their tuna, or whatever it is, is amazingly tasty.

Indeed, whatever any of their products are, they are tasty.

That's the #1 thing you should not get there. Have you seen the lawsuits?

Yes, I have. It still tastes great, even after the lawsuit.

It's my wife's favourite sandwich there. I like the bbq rib, though I know there are way better done ribs out there.

Bumping because I need advice, particularly from those that can think like an addict.

One of my clients is a kid that likes weed. That’s whatever to me, but we run a sober milieu and there can be absolutely no consumption in the house, as it is detrimental to other kids trying to remain sober.

Anyway this kid has a steady supply which is not a surprise, but the past couple weeks he’s been blatantly smoking in his room at night. I am not the type to barge into his room and try to catch him in the act, that’s not how we operate. However, when he’s at school we do search the **** out of his room and in the year he’s been here we have never been able to find a single roach, nug, lighter, piece, nothing. We know he doesn’t keep it on his person, because his person is physically searched while entering and leaving school.

So, I’ve searched everywhere I could think of pulling from all the media I’ve consumed, I’ve picked the brain of my former addict stepdad, I’ve asked a ton of people where I should be looking and so far no one’s given me any ideas I hadn’t already thought of. I searched beneath the soles of his sneakers today, ffs, what am I missing?!

Does he have a hollow metal frame bed? Back in military school we used to use them as ash trays.

Does his room have curtains? If he has un-picked part of the hem, that could make a small hiding place - but for cannabis, not weed I suppose, because of bulk.

Some bookshelves/bureaus have small gaps between their bottoms and the floor

Could hide them inside the bed or mattress liner

Could hide them inside the pillow case

Some pillows have zippers that allow you to take the stuffing out or put more in, could hide them in there

Some dressing bureaus have little 'u' shaped rails which the shelves slide on - probably feasible to hide them there too

****ing narcs, the lot of us.

Thanks, good tips. I’ll see what I can find.

It’s narcing for a good reason, this kid is going to get himself into a higher security placement if we can’t get it under control.

I mean, you're not wrong, but a kid shouldn't be smoking weed.

If the kid was smarter or more experienced, he'd have known that he should at least procure a dryer sheet and a toilet paper roll and be a little more subtle about it.

Lol if all else fails get him a vape pen. Not fool proof but probably more stealth than smoking a joint.
