I clean after every shoot and usually an easy field strip clean once a week; infantry habits. The more I talk to gun owners the more I notice people usually don't clean their firearms that often, usually if/when a malfunction occurs or months after their last shoot. I can usually smell old...

Hello folks, It's time to start shopping for new tires for the CX5 (AWD). DT has the certificates that will cover irreparable damage but for a set of $220x4 tires, the certs will cost around $175. I drive ~30k miles a year so if I get a nail in the sidewall of one tire at 9/32, I will have to...

Anybody notice that when they got older, certain foods you loved make you want to gag now? Like I love pork and still do but the smell of it cooking makes me sick now.

Hi folks, Does anyone have any experiences with airtags or like devices? With the guys that jumped me last week, I think I'd like to keep a small hidden GPS device in my car and backpack just in case. In addition, it would be great to be able to find a simple device to stick in our work...

3 dudes just tried to jump me in after I parked at a restaurant for a company party. Not a single soul around in the parking lot either. Hit me in the back of the head with something metallic when I went to go scan the QR code at the booth to pay for parking. I never touched the ground, at worst...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I just got a decently sized rock chip on the cx5 from chips flying off a cold-filled pothole and was wondering if this is repairable with off-the-shelf items or if the windshield will need to be replaced. I have used the rainx windshield repair kit from Walmart to...

Anybody want to share their favorite everyday or special pens? I never really took any notice with pens until I started writing to-do lists for work and now my favorite are these generic style Quill rollerball pens that work used to order; big enough to hold comfortably, strong enough to not...

Let's say you have a married couple whom you are close friends with both but one of them is cheating. Do you tell the other person that they're cheating or do you mind your business because it's not your marriage? What would you do in this situation?

Anybody in IT or deep into a computer hobby has probably heard of Synology but I just wanted to share how much I love Synology in case any folks run across a need for a NAS/SAN box. I just ordered two Synology DS1621+ for a company we just acquired as a replacement for their file server. We...

I was at a wedding in Pontiac, MI this weekend and noticed this type of left turns that I have never seen before. A cousin told me they're called Michigan lefts and in lieu of dedicated left turns, a driver will take a right turn and then do what is essentially a u-turn. They seem to work really...

Does this massive scratch look fresh? My mom sent me this picture when she got home from Walmart putting 2 new tires on and this is one of the ones that got replaced. I don't recall seeing this scratch last time I saw the car in January.

I think I just got hit with the Unemployment Fraud. I just got two letters back-to-back from the Illinois unemployment office, one saying that I got laid off last month and shows my benefits. Then I opened another one, saying that the claim was fraudulent, and my employer caught it. I confirmed...

Bored at work, watching a learning video and was wondering how people get started in their jobs. What job/career are you guys in and how did you guys get started/pushed you in that direction? I'll start: I'm in IT and I got started in this field because of some car buddies of mine that worked...

Hi folks, So I have the lifetime alignment from Firestone for the CX5 but it seems like their specs, machine, or something is off in their system. The last alignment I got from them was right before Christmas but real-world resulted the steering wheel cocked over to the left by a good amount...

Doing an Olympic drive right into the audiophile headphone rabbit hole. Due to being in a townhouse, I can't really have a home theater sound system so I splurged on headphones instead. I went from a Sennheiser HD558 to a HD598se and now a HD800s. Also have a pair of 428s at work. I've always...

Hi folks, I've found 4 apple seed-sized bugs like this in my townhouse since I moved into the master bedroom last Nov but 3 were in the master bathroom and 1 in the spare bathroom. I've been here since 2014 and nothing like this has popped up enough to think I could have a problem. I did a...

Hi folks, Anybody have an MDM or UEM they recommend for a SMB for an environment of Win10/11 (eventually will be all Win11) and iPhones? I have very limited knowledge of the MDMs out there but I'll be ordering MDMs for all our devices for work and so far the only one I've really looked at was...

Hi folks, '19 CX5, only driver, alignment was done months ago and was pretty spot-on. Tires were rotated at a discount tire last week and I double checked the torque with my own wrench today. I made an alignment appointment for tomorrow just in case. So this morning I noticed my alignment was...

Hi folks, I'm having a heck of a time trying to create a fillable stamp for our Project Managers. As far as I know, stamps aren't generally allowed to be edited after they're placed but you can create javascript to fill out some forms for the stamp. At the moment, they import the stamp as a...

Let's talk about the greatest noodles of all time, pho. I must say, I usually find 99% of all Pho restaurants have bland chicken-style broth, which makes up 75% of the taste of this noodle soup dish. I usually cook it the way my mom does (but never can come close to her's of course.)...
