    U-Haul seems to be morphing into a storage company that rents trucks on the side.

    This is very common with them now, it seems. The one closest to me used to be a 2-unit shopping center (decent size) that they've converted. They are also building a lot of these storage locations taller, as in multi-story, This one was under construction when this picture was taken:

    Walmart Oil Aisle Today

    I'll always check their inventory through the website. It's always been pretty accurate and it will even tell you "low stock" and in that case, I look for something else or skip going. Luckily, I've never had an oil change emergency. 😂 Not to me. O'Reilly (I can walk there) is $42 for Castrol...

    Walmart Oil Aisle Today

    Walmart closest to me has plenty of oil, though the prices have increased. I just bought a 5-quart jug of SuperTech 5W-30 conventional and it was $22 or $25. 😳 I was buying the synthetic version for $16-17 before ! As for oil filters, this store has plenty of stock of Purolator Gold in place...

    TTP- when buying Toyota OEM parts from local area dealerships

    I also ran into this. There's multiple Toyota dealers around but the one closest to me doesn't participate. They used to before the family sold it to one of the big dealer networks in the southwest Ohio area. The closest that does would make my drive home into almost 1-1/2 hours factoring in...

    Probably entirely accurate but given the situation in the oil market, they likely can't maintain the 'exact' same source(s) and there ain't time to go through re-testing or continual re-testing as their sources change.

    TTP- when buying Toyota OEM parts from local area dealerships

    I thought it meant "Trusted Third Party" or "Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura" 🤷‍♂️

    TTP- when buying Toyota OEM parts from local area dealerships

    Their presumption is you're ordering it online, so you'll have it shipped. When they say it's "in stock", it means a Toyota distribution warehouse has it in stock and will get it to the dealer you're ordering from within 1-2 days, then they'll ship it. Most people that will pick parts up locally...

    Amsoil Oil Filter Update

    Detectives here "analyze" filters and deem who they think produce them all the time.

    Amsoil Oil Filter Update

    Wait, so was it taboo to say here that Amsoil filters were just re-branded Frams ? Could just be a stock image. It's the same one shown on their website here too: https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-oil-filter-eaoilfilt/

    Creating a CV to send to a company hiring manager.

    CV = resume Resume is the term used in the US (and probably elsewhere) while "CV" is common in Europe, etc.

    Project Farm tests Walmart and O'Reilly batteries

    His videos are also clearly sped up to fit in a time window that's optimal for YT's scoring system. Speeding it up will technically make his voice slightly higher pitched too.

    Receiving a hard copy payroll check from your employer.

    What day is the official payday ? I would never schedule automatic payments like that without a cushion, especially if the person lives paycheck to paycheck. Walmart, check-cashing places, or if the bank the check is drawn on has branches, you should be able to cash it there. Many banks do...

    Project Farm tests Walmart and O'Reilly batteries

    I think the regional supplier aspect is no longer the case. All indications are that it used to be true, but doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I'm in Ohio and I have gotten East Penn batteries from Walmart before. It's been a few years since I've bought one and I don't "inspect" them for...

    Bears; how to keep them out of trash cans?

    My wife thinks that these are 'required' (by law ??) in certain areas of TN. If anyone has ever been to the Gatlinburg area, locking, metal garbage can enclosures are everywhere or if you're staying in a rental area, you're not allowed to put trash outside (the rentals don't provide outside...

    Project Farm tests Walmart and O'Reilly batteries

    I'd bet that the retailers cover the warranty costs 100% themselves and don't go back to whoever their supplier/manufacturer is, so it's a business decision they've made. In the case of WM, along with buying volume, this is how they buy and sell them so much lower than everyone else. That's a...
