Threaded connections, flared fittings just to name a couple. LOL. I spent two+ years working in the maintenance department in a large food processing plant for McCormick and I've worked in a number of other maintenance departments including in a hospital. But none of the places that I worked...

That's what they use on most air compressors. But the pump does vibrate so metal fatigue can be a problem. However for home use it's probably not a significant one. But I do notice that the hose on the one in the picture was made by Areoquip so it's not the original either. Depending on the size...

If he closed a previous account why would he be in any predicament? Just go to another bank or a CU and open a new account. People do it all of the time. I closed two accounts before I left California and opened another one on the other side of the country and in a state that I had never been in...

Twice the OP said "I can't". There's nothing to assume, other than perhaps that you didn't bother to read the thread.

FWIW I have a friend of mine that is legally blind and he has never had a driver's license. Not once in his entire life. But the state will issue (did issue in his case) an id that is the legal equivalent of a driver's license but doesn't allow you to drive. I'm sure that Australia and every...

In the US it's real simple, you get a job and they pay you in cash (sometimes) and by check (most of the time). Some employers give you the option of using direct deposit. I shouldn't need to explain how to handle cash. A check can be taken to any of the numerous check cashing services and...

You've never managed to sort this out before now but yet you have a child? And even more, one that you're not raising yourself and they're having to pay child support for. And now you're concerned about buying a house and buying/holding stocks and bonds. :ROFLMAO: I smell TROLL!

I had a 1970 Dodge parked in a driveway in Florida in about 1985 and we had a bad thunderstorm and must have had a nearby lightning strike because the horn in my car went off and wouldn't stop. I finally had to unplug the horn relay to get it to stop but when I plugged the relay back in the horn...

My F-150 has a gaping hole below the bumper where they install the inter-cooler on the Ebobust versions but I didn't like the missing-a-part look so I added one of these and it looks 100% better IMO. I don't know if they make something similar but I would look for one if I had an F-350 like yours.

Just as a suggestion, a lot of companies will give you "90 days interest free" financing on some purchases. If you absolutely must buy something then try to buy from one of those companies instead of using your regular CC there or somewhere else. At least with the 90 day free financing, it will...

Not just Walmart but every credit card company. They're like any parasite, they don't want to kill you but just slowly suck the (economic) life out of you. OP, my advice is that if you ever get an offer for one of those "switch your credit card balance over to us at 0% for a year" offers, then...

In the southern US once most indoor theaters installed air conditioning, everyone (everyone that wanted to watch a movie that is) quickly stopped going to the drive-ins and went to the indoor theaters instead.

I don't know why Canada and the French Canadians are having such a difficult time with this, the US had a very large number of French immigrants and they assimilated fine (several of my families among them). The US also had a very large number of French Arcardians that relocated to Louisiana and...

It's not just the government employees. When I was in Quebec in the 1970s most of the locals would refuse to talk to you in English. When I sent back there in the 1980s and 90s they would talk to you in English but but only reluctantly. I was told that the law in Quebec was that they had to try...

It's a sad day when someone needs to watch a video in order how to figure out how to adjust a mirror!
