I've recently cut down a tree, and now am looking for methods to get rid of the tree stump. I have heard varying degrees of success from using tree stump rot chemicals, with some reporting that years later, the stump is still hard as piece of seasoned firewood. A few neighbors have had...

It depends. There was no advantage to him telling me that Whirlpool had issues, just like other leading brands. His store carried practically all the leading appliance brands, including Whirlpool. If anything, he ran the risk that If I were a Whirlpool fan boy, I may have decided to buy...

What are you sticking your legs in the salad for? 😲

Absolutely correct. None of the appliance brands that we used to be able to depend upon, like Maytag, Whirlpool and GE, any longer make appliances to last for decades. Except for the more expensive brands, none of them are built to be serviceable any longer. LG did have their problems with...

I have always done battery maintenance on my E350 by connecting directly to the battery, instead of using the convenience posts. Rarely have I disconnected the battery before charging. Been doing it for all of the 6 years that I have owned her. Never had a problem. My understanding is that...

I've never heard this saying before. But as soon as I read it, I liked what it teaches. This is the way I interpreted it too.

I used to absolutely hate flying in an MD-80. They are super noisy. The first time I flew on one, I thought something was wrong with the aircraft, to make it that noisy. I quickly learned to avoid flights on an MD-80.

From what one of the articles reported, this isn't accurate. Tesla did offer to upgrade the Tesla Superchargers, as part of a co-station deal. NJ did not accept the offer. I suspect that is why Tesla chose to not upgrade the Superchargers on the turnpike, investing instead in charging...

Why would NJ set up an exclusive EV charging with any charging company, whether it is Tesla, Applegreen, Charge America, or anyone? Wouldn't it be best for the consumer if NJ had at least two different companies set up charging equipment at the same charging station? Let them compete, not only...

Getting off task here, and not helping out GON in this post, but there are some good warranties available from appliance stores, for quite reasonable prices. I bought a new LG refrigerator in early '23 from RC Willey, a local furniture store that has grown into several stores. They offered me...

I didn't see anywhere where the OP gave advice. He asked what others would do in a hypothetical situation. Nothing more. Please don't make more out of this than it is.

I know what you are talking about. In my early years, my parents decided it was time for a new, modern refrigerator, with a separate freezer. Functionally, there was nothing wrong with the old early '50's style refrigerator. So it went downstairs and was used to store big items such as...

In the situation that @Zee09 describes in his op, living in the countryside with a fair amount of property, in the right circumstances I would be very tempted to take a shot at a drone that was lingering over my property. Particularly if it appeared to be attempting to peer into my home, or...

Do you have reason to worry about the reliability of this refrigerator model, that drives you towards wanting an extended warranty? The reason I ask is that, if the picture you show is the actual model refrigerator you are asking about, it looks like you have picked a refrigerator that should...

Exactly my point! With no data, there is no evidence to support Kira's theory. Thank you..

:eek:o_O I cannot imagine paying that much per kWh. That is more than 3x the rate here in Northern Utah.

The absolute definitive answer is, if it makes you feel good, do it. As @JeffKeryk said, having a magnetic drain plug is not going to cause any problems. @Kira suggests that all the evidence needed is the black goo that comes off a magnetic drain plug. But for those of us that worked in...

There is absolutely a significant amount of motor oil left over in an engine, after draining all the oil and removing the oil filter. Refer the the service manual for your car, and you will find two fill amounts for oil fills, typically as @JavierH19 stated, referred to as "dry" and "wet". The...

The concept of preventative maintenance is to service your vehicle before performance degrades, or fluids start to wear out, or there is any mechanical wear. Why wait until the transmission no longer shifts smooth, or until the transmission is starting to wear excessively.

I have never wore a hat. Not that I haven't tried a few times. I've tried baseball caps, but don't like the feel of the rim around my head. I have a lightweight foldable full brimmed hiking hat, but the breeze catches it and blows it off my head. But I recently had skin cancer removed...
