Rants and Stupid shit in Orange County

[Iislali938]

I have 3 signal blockers. Smallest one has no built in battery but is plugged in the cig lighter deep inside the center console or the glove compt. The range is only within the radius of the car. Blocks GPS and cell phone networks. I use it when I pick up a SW and it's funny when she tries to call her pimp and can't figure out why there are zero bars LOL.

The pics below is the medium sized one I use the most because it fits inside my pocket when I go to their incall. Effective range is just within the hotel room. Same thing, no internet or mobile network. Her incall is a dead zone as long as my pants are folded next to the room TV.

The biggest one I have is not portable, about the size of an old military walike-talkie with 6 long antennas on top. If I turn it on inside my hotel room waiting for a hoe doing outcall to me, the effective range is about 50 feet so think in 3 dimensions. Blocks CDM, GSM, 2-G, 5-G, GPS, Wifi, etc.

Hardest part for me is trying to contain my laughter watching the hoe I picked up to take to my hotel desperately trying to text or call. I had one girl stick her iPhone out the window ha ha ha. I just play dumb. My devices will block your Tesla and your wife will never know you spent an hour at an AMP in Westminster or Garbage Grove.

My other favorite quote is from the movie London Has Fallen when the kidnapped President said to the dudes about to livestream his execution: "Technology. Only as good as the dumbfucks who use it" LOL.

Jesus. This guy GPS's. Reminds me when I used to carry multiple cell phones for multiple reasons.

Cool stuff. I can see those coming in handy. Just don't get caught with them. Jamming signals is illegal as hell and carries stiff Federal penalties up to and including prison time if caught. Your chances of getting caught are of course extremely small, but definitely keep it on the down low.

The beater car that I was driving around town finally bit the dust. Ironically it broke down. Wife and I already knew we were on borrowed time with that car (15 years and 200 k miles) and decided a long time ago that we would replace it with a second Tesla when the time came. Awesome, except Teslas are trackable. The last thing I need is for my wife to open the app and see that the other car is in Little Saigon or at some random hotel.

Just stop responding to her and if she continues to text / call then block her. If you see her somewhere don't talk to her, I thought this hobby was meant to be discreet. You don't own anyone anything and the truth is that there's no good way to end it. ALWAYS LIE, because if you tell her the truth, no matter how gentle, she will freak out in one way or another. These girls whole existence is there looks, went they go its hard on them. They will do crazy stuff, from my experience of course. Just tell her money is tight or your too old for it. She already saw Jr. Perform in person. No one beats father time.

Yeah its kind of a Western thing to talk things over, end nicely, remain friends, or be gentlemanly. In Asia they would just cut you off. Often with zero explanation. And even if there are feelings if there is a decision to split, bam its done. No hypothetical discussions about "what if". Etc. Just mve on.

Are you still working? If so, tell her you're being transferred far away or overseas. Give her a firm date. Have one last time with her and bring her a gift.

If you're retired, tell her you're moving out of state because it's too damn expensive here. You know the rest.

First of all, glad to have you back. Yeah, I'm still working and have a couple more year to go before having enough saved to retire to SEA.

I have an incurable case of honesty and am not good at making up stuff. Plus, she's local, so I'm sure I'll run into her somewhere. I have stopped responding for a couple of months, but she still messages me once a week or so. We'll see how it goes.

Father time hasn't caught up with me yet. Couple of days ago with pussy du jour, willy was happy as a clam and performed his duties like a champ. Provider was excellent. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank god us men don't have menopause.

So I've been seeing this woman for 6-7 years. She's in her late 30's early 40's, me breaking into my 60's. She's still attractive, has a nice bod, is very smart and has her own burliness, and is very amicable and has never said no to anything I asked her to do. Problem is she apparently doesn't cut it for Jr. Anymore. I don't know if it's me getting older or if it's the familiarity factor or something else. With her, Jr. Does wake up, puts out a valiant effort, but in a minute or two goes back to sleep and doesn't deliver the goods. Same Jr. Is a total party animal with other girls whom I find attractive and even some whom I don't. So at this point, I just want to break if off and go seek some greener pastures, but I want to do it as nicely as possible. I don't want to leave her on bad terms or hurt her feelings.

So, my question to the esteemed members here is: how do you break it off with your ATF?

Tesla uses LTE for navigation, live maps, music streaming, and internet connectivity. That is all part of the premium connectivity package that you pay $9. 99/ month for. You can of course skip that, but the car is virtually freaking worthless without it. Well ok, you can live with out it, but that big nav screen without connectivity is just wasted space, and if you're taking longer road trips that navigation is essential since it knows the state of your vehicle in real time and where the superchargers are.

Driving with faraday bags over the mirrors isn't very practical, especially if you're trying to do something on the sly. The only real solution is to disable the mobile connectivity when you're on one of your special field trips, but then again anyone with access to the app can see that you disabled it.

Best solution IMO is to just not take the car anywhere that would be incriminating if someone with access to your app found you there. If that means parking somewhere innocuous and taking an uber, so be it.

The only possible problem is leaving you phone inside the Tesla because you're not going to be able to leave at a fast food place or a store.

Park at target and have a small collapsible scooter in the trunk to go half a mile down the road.

Where is he going to hide the scooter, or what is the purpose of the scooter?

There used to be Home Depot trucks for $20/ hour. You say you need some nuts and screws, and drive to the Depot, Rent the truck, and drive over to the hoo-haw heaven for handy helping of happy time.

That works if you don't need much more than an hour. The HD trucks are $20 just for the first hour and then something like $15 for every quarter hour after that. They're also first come first served. Any given HD will have one or two trucks available, so if you have a set appointment time that's an issue.

UHaul is notorious for that. You see UHaul pickup trucks and cargo vans all the time with huge "rent me for $19.95/ day" signs on them. The catch is it's $19.95/ day plus something like $0. 89 per mile, plus gas. The last time I rented a UHaul cargo van, which was a couple months ago, I drove it about 50 miles and it cost nearly $100 not including gas, and those things get horrendously bad gas mileage. I ended up putting over $50 worth of gas in it. I think I calculated somewhere around 10 mpg. The pickup trucks do a little better than that, but still a run to get some tail for an hour will cost close to $100.

When my SUV gave up the ghost I lost my hauling vehicle. My solution to that was to get the new Tesla with the towing package, so now anytime I need to haul something I just get a UHaul trailer which costs around $15/ day. So the HD truck option doesn't work for me, but I could see it being ideal for some.

All good stuff that will definitely work. By the same token, putting a lot of effort into disabling shit on your expensive EV isn't going to be most people's cup of tea.

The solution I've found is the getaround app, where you can rent cars from other individuals for a few hours for cheap. Chances are there's someone nearby whom has a car available. Going rates are $20 -$30 for a 3 hour rental. There's also zipcar but that isn't as prominent in SoCal as it is in other parts of the state.

I got a folding electric scooter in the trunk. You can go a couple of miles. You park at a mall oar hospital then scoot over a mile.

[DarkRoomDaddy]

Yeah, $4/ hr doesn't sound right. I'm not sure I'd rent a car for that price. It would be even harder to explain why you got stranded somewhere in some car that you rented for $4/ hr than trying to explain why you were where you shouldn't be in your normal car. I find that most of them are something like $30 for half a day. If you happen to live or work near someone who has a car available, it's a heck of a deal and probably the best way to go. Unfortunately it's not as prominent down here as it is in the Bay Area but some people might still get lucky and find there are options available for them.

The price is surprising. It's perfect if you already have a car. The nearest is 20 miles from me for $4 an hour. There must be something wrong. I wouldn't want to rent out a clean and working car like that.

If you don't pay for premium, the free standard connectivity still works for navigation for 8 years. Theoretically, it could still connect to cell towers and use triangulation to get the location. It's not difficult to disable the LTE antenna. For a hobby with a going rate of $300 to $800 an hour, everything is possible. Wrapping with plastic and then copper tape will work if you leave out the heat sinks for air.

A Tesla can get an internet connection via wifi from a phone hotspot. It can be set up permanently with a dedicated phone. Most junks should work on the Tesla; they just need a data connection.

The OP appears to be a parking problem. Indeed you have to hide the location of the car while traveling. So you can take out the GPS antenna too. There are many gadgets to plug into the USB or connect wirelessly for navigation. I used a single Android phone app to run Android Auto on the Tesla screen via a phone hotspot connected to the Tesla browser. It's pretty much the same as other Android autos. There are carplay apps too. You can also set it up with a dedicated phone. There's no possible way for the car to get the location from the app.

It's not difficult to disable the GPS antenna in the rearview mirror on and off. Just find something to cover up the whole mirror with metal, hard or soft, and stick a mirror in front of it.
