Tell us how. We must disable the updates. For the sake of my sanity

It feels like my stomach has shrunk. Nowadays I just can't eat that much without feeling bloated-levels of fullness for the entire day.

If they make the vehicles disappear and do not tell the owner, should it not be considered a theft? That is, the tow company or police, whoever gave the order to tow the legally parked vehice, stole it and should not only be accountable for wherever it ends up, but also get in trouble for stealing it in the first place.

Of course, the moment the owner finds out it is missing, they should report it as stolen.

They should report to the police that their vehicle was stolen by the police. At best that's going to get you told to f- off. They're already ignoring the law with impunity. Making them upset with you isn't going to make that better.

The "You cant prove it was us!" aspect is the main theme.

The people in Philly need to do what the Russians do, and install redundant dash/vehicle cameras. Preferably with GPS, and cloud based video storage. (so it can be accessed even after the car is impounded.)

Then you can see who the tow company is (the dashcam will record the tow truck in front of the vehicle, towing it), the people involved in parking it at the illegal destination, the police officer(s) involved in the ticketing process, and who is smashing windows.

It would be a game changer on accountability in this mess, since it is clearly a racketeering job.

You haven't seen a cop around a recording device before, have you? They know better than to allow evidence to exist.

Important adjective is important. Emphasis added to draw attention.

Additionally, important caveat is important. Emphasis added to draw attention.


Redundant hidden cameras, and a storage device that cannot be confiscated.

Obviously going to a police department and saying:"You stole my car!" would be kind of stupid.
What I was thinking is more of immediately calling the police and saying: "My car was at XXX and now it is missing. I would like to report it as stolen."

But you should record the phone call.
Either they take responsibility for it, or they do not, and log the car as stolen.
If they say it was them and that it is your fault, you can sue them.
If they log the car as stolen, then until it is found you logically should not be accountable for where it is parked.

But wierd's solution is better, as you should be able to sue them right away, as you immediately have proof.

Yeah, they'll fix it/replace it, but I'll be out of work for a day or two -.-

Also I was luckily able to get it ot boot for what is likely the last time and get personal stuff off it. So that's a relief.

Depending on the jurisdiction. It's not uncommon for governements (states, cities) to have laws that say they can refuse to be sued. They run the courts, so...

Tooth dust tastes like corn chips gone horribly wrong.

(Had my tooth shaved down to put in a temporary crown.)

What do you mean by crown? Also does tooth dust taste anything like plaque or is that different?

Crown would refer to the crown of the tooth, the part of the molar that forms the grinding surface. Plaque is bacterial mats growing on bits of food stuck to your teeth, and no, it doesn't taste like bits of ground up tooth

I've got aluminum caps on two of my molars on opposite sides. It hurts to put metal silverware in my mouth, if they contact my teeth I experience an electrical tingling irritation and deep jaw ache for several minutes. Brush your teeth kids.

[Edit]
After making this post I have become distinctly aware of the taste and texture and sensations I can feel through my molar caps. I'm breathing manually now and my tongue cannot rest comfortably and I hate it.

You know how in comics/television people bite gold coins to see if they're real? Those always make me scream internally. They're my own pet peeve/cursed image.

I'm just utterly WTF'ing at the extremely uncharacteristic triggering content in the latest chapters of my favorite manga: Baki
