Over the years, There have been multiple vehicle meta search sites that consolidate for sale ads across various platforms, locations, etc with minimal parameters. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/best-states-for-rust-free-fly-and-drive-cars/87920/page1/ But none that simplify...

My moms house is designed so there is only one main sewer downpipe. It apparently started leaking by the 45 7’ above the floor in 1978 and my father did something to stop it, his fix lasted through last year. I emptied the 5 gallon bucket that collects the small summer only leak and shut all...

These 2.4 hybrids seem to be abundantly available for $1500 or so but many have issues with stalling at stops and high miles -150k+. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/2013-malibu-eco-225k-no-ac-winter-beater.389078/#post-7059471 They usually say they need a new hybrid alternator. How...

I had to go to 2 pic n pulls and finally found a pair of 4 lug 15” steelies to go on my 2010 cobalt so I don’t risk remounting snows vrs summer treads. (Places have ruined my tires during removal in the past) Sadly the only ones I could find that weren’t scuffed up alloys are a little on the...

For some reason at the end of videos my mom sometimes actually wants to watch the 20-30 minute YouTube adds which sometimes are very similar to the videos she watches anyway. (Dogs, health bs, natural dogfood) I was there and noticed one she wanted to watch was unskippable and 25 minutes long...

It looks like one of the bad black legged light colored body ticks got me. I live in a small city with no trees and a compact car sized chunk of grass, but I keep catching ticks crawling on me despite the lack of any wildlife. One finally got me above the groin, noticed it while showering...

I have noted a few folks talking about maintaining their washing machines with oil changes and whatnot like a car otherwise they fail with lack of maintenance. Waaat? Manual doesn’t mention maintenance. This washer is completely unlike our old washers and doesn’t even brake letting the spin...

One of my friends had his contract end from a temp agency that is apparently actually based out of Texas and he has been actively applying to jobs. Getting an initial claim started in Wisconsin appears to have gone automated where you really can’t go calling or in person asking questions and a...

A strange one not being covered by domestic media, lots of speculation flying around https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/us-soldiers-dead-lithuania-mission-1053202?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target Was a strange incident...

I am constantly getting EZ PASS scam texts from an odd number, I report and block every one but the number seems unblockable. I haven’t been in IL in a decade and did not ever have ez pass and always paid the tolls. Seems like a really stupid scam and worse I can’t seem to block the number

Something I’ve never understood is why cellular enabled tablets are almost always a massive amount of money more (-$150+ unless it’s an outdated or extremely low end model). I’ve heard of external usbc cell modems but driver wise they almost always only work on a pc. The chipsets inside that...

Having encountered a fridge that it’s cold settings for the freezer worked in reverse how do I set this colder? It’s starting to get on the edge for being cold enough as a freezer It was set to A and I just set it to C, I don’t remember which is colder, one of the old fridges you could either...

Using edge it appears that if you leave a google search open a “pop over” add can block the search results with an X to exit This machine is up to date and rarely touches anything besides a overview of advanced excel features or a Google search without clicking into anything. From my...

Anything that forces me to waste time on an app to get something in person looses my business. I loath having an app for every retail situation worse usually the points, rewards and digital gift cards are all nearly worthless as they only force a purchase from a worthless place with nothing I...

Not sure where to categorize this but is the full synthetic “Marine Motor Oil” I occasionally encounter on super clearance have any benefits for an older Gas car/truck that sometimes sits outside an extended period? Manual doesn’t need any better than SL and this stuff meets SM (yellow jugs not...

I’m looking at buying a very very cheap 2013 Malibu eco with high miles, a crunchy leather drivers seat (not terrible) and a clean rust free body. I’ve heard horror stories about the 2.4 but never on the older Malibu ecos. (Honestly can’t find much of anything about these first gen first year...

I live in an 1800’s era home with a corporate absentee landlord. After they replaced the water heater and galvanized steel hot water line the shower only gets luke warm even with the water heater set to max, been mentioned but not worth pushing (my rent goes up any time something is repaired)...

It isn’t the proverbial end of the month and I’m not aware of a police convention or a political convention but for some reason every police car is activated and occupied from old meter maids, cycles, rusted out cop trucks, police suburbans, even the antique “cop cars” the departments keep as...

Would a 1972 era forced air NG furnace be full of asbestos in the intake? The ancient furnace that never dies has a suspicious white powder coming in and around the air uptake. I like to imagine its soot but it’s also on the wrong side which makes me worry there is deteriorating asbestos...

After having done a small amount of plastic to diesel in college I’m surprised it’s taken this long to happen considering I could make a gallon of diesel for $0.99 of electricity with some co2, methane and carbon black left with little else...
