    Rebuild/refresh old compressor or buy new.

    I have the same model only much older. My tank rusted through so I'm looking for a used replacement. Mine has mega hours on it but still runs very good. Might be slower but I haven't really noticed. I wasn't able to source parts for mine, although I didn't look that hard because only the tank...

    Self checkouts-honest mistakes?!

    I think they're great, and always go with self check if it's an option. In grocery stores I shop less at stores that don't offer it. And I do all the shopping for our household.

    Yokohama Geolander any good?

    I have them on my F150, so far they've work well, dry, wet, snow, dirt, all with no complaints. I'm not saying they're an aggressive off road tire though.

    pre-mix oils - Chicksaw video opinion piece

    There is no way to determine a difference between two oil types with the short term and uneducated methods she used. I've watched her other videos before, and they're not bad, but this one was worthless. There has been a great deal of actual research done on this subject, and one tank of fuel...

    Washington State may have the most unexpected vanity plate

    I was on that show as a Cub Scout. Local Cub Scout troops were a weekly feature on the show.

    How many people are using really old PCs on a daily?

    Desk top, I don't even have a laptop, my wife does have a tablet she occasionally uses. I do everything on my phone. My work did send me a new iPad about 3 months ago, but I haven't opened the box yet. Hadn't used the old iPad for several years.

    Purchase Series I Savings Bonds.

    It's $10,000 for the spouse too, if you have one, and then another $10,000 if you have a trust. Like other somewhat conservative investments, the rewards may not be fast or high, but when Ibonds were paying over 9% when everything else was tanking it was nice.

    Ridgid or Harbor Freight Tile Saw?

    I've had the HF model for maybe 7 years, my wife uses it to cut glass and I use for many different materials. It still works fine.

    I-Bond

    It depends on your age and how you plan to use them. For a young person investing for the long term you will probably get better returns in the market. As an emergency fund, or short term, they are currently a great option.

    Confusing sponsorship

    The logos are just advertising, they have nothing to do with what's being used.

    US Crosses the Electric-Car Tipping Point for Mass Adoption

    I don't really care which direction the technology goes, electric or ICE is fine. I will say the EV side has good side effects if it works out, as in reduced maintenance. I drive more miles than probably anybody on this site, and I consider cars as just a tool, there is no love affair with...

    HVAC "Advice"

    I'll update my results too. As I mentioned in my first post on this subject, I had planned to add a second mini split system in my house. There were two reasons. First when it got down to around 10 degrees it started reaching the limit of the first system to keep up with the heat loss. Second...

    300 Inline 6 Oil Recommendation

    They didn't have problems surviving tremendous abuse with the oils available back when that motor was built, so I wouldn't be too particular on the exact oil now with all the improvements that have been made in them. I used whatever oil was around for cheap in mine and it never complained...

    What stocks are good to buy before facemask mandate ends?

    The fees they charge are obscenely high, you will lose a huge amount of future potential earnings when they charge an upfront fee of 5% to put money in, then a fee of maybe 2% to manage it. You can invest with no upfront fees and a cost of around .02% by going with Schwab, Fidelity or Vangard...

    Top Fuel Track Length

    We sponsor the Kalitta team, and Corey Mac last year. We have the option to go to the races and hang out with the team in the pits. Last year was a bit odd, but it's opening up again.

    If you actually have investments with Edward Jones, it's best to get them out of your wallet asap.

    3 Valve 5.4 Triton Oil type

    I had several of the 1997 to 2003 F150s, both 4.6 and 5.4. The only plug blowout problem was on a 2001 that I currently own. The prior owner changed the plugs himself and didn't properly tighten them. Nothing special about the motor, not great mileage or power, bit it still runs great. Just...
