I'm at the point to put a new sink/cabinet in my bathroom. Unfortunately this old house offers unusually small bathrooms. The master bathroom is L-shaped about 4' wide and 8' long floor space (plus bathtub area). Space here is a premium. The current sized cabinet/sink is properly sized but needs...

I just purchased a house and am strongly considering two possible sources of alternate energy for myself, profit, and self sufficiency. But am trying to work the assessments to see if it makes "sense" economically. My time horizon here is probably 5-10 years, realistically. I have electric...

Please keep this non-political. I'm wanting only the ECONOMIC impact of this 1M barrels of oil daily. Will this suppress the price at the pumps? Second question, would it not be more effective to just do a short-term moratorium on fuel taxes? Allow us to preserve our reserves?

I watched this video today of a guy in Denver with a seemingly unreal street car. So many questions and comments. First, it's extremely impressive. Next, the costs to build, maintain, and insure it must be staggering. Next, how is it possible he still has a license and insurance? I love powerful...

Short question, last month and picked up a small nail in my rear pickup truck tire in the first tread groove. These are near new highway tires, dated mid 2020, probably less than 5k miles, no warranty on them, but years and tens of thousands of service miles remaining. Anyway, Discount Tire...

I believe Pennzoil is excellent oil. But I have frankly rarely used it. Please only comment if you personally use or have used Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic in the last few years, and your personal observations and results. I will probably end up with most of this to use myself, and want to...

On the theme of films, what is a movie that had great potential but was poorly executed? I finally got around to seeing the much talked about and recommended Soylent Green. I knew the premise going in so there were no big surprises. I felt the execution and acting were sub-par. It's worthy of a...

Just thinking about this, I've been wanting to get a performance V8 car. Used car prices have been insane but seem to be stabilizing a little bit. I'm thinking that with depreciated dollars due to inflation, combined with high gas prices exceeding $5 in much of the nation, NOW might be ripe to...

Just need to rant about the seemingly terrible customer service and inept people, that feels like I can never get anything done in my world/life because I'm inundated with everyone else's ineptitude and errors which cause so many setbacks in my life that I spin my wheels... * Hired contractors...

Retailers have not seemed to upward adjust their motor oil prices yet in spite of oil prices soaring, and inflation... Gas prices however have gone up significantly. Any guesses on if or when retailers will start to adjust oil prices or are these loss leaders for retailers?

I was a participant in the Great Oil Harvest Hurricane Walmart event, and amassed huge amounts of oil, which I've been slowly selling, trading, and using for my fleet of vehicles. I also recently moved, and had to move thousands of quarts. In this experience, I've gathered some tips to share...

I simply don't understand the psychosis in society. But it seems so unbelievably common for folks to just ghost others. "Ghosting" refers to simply dropping off of text/email conversations or, in a more extreme manner, in relationships generally in an early stage when the other party simply...

I would wager 95% of people hate these really annoying popup boxes which do nothing but interfere with the reason I went to the website. I doubt they are overall successful at their reason for occurring, and do little but frustrate and aggravate the user. If you visit 50 websites, you'll be...

I type the letter "I" such as the beginning of this sentence. It is automatically changed to a red color font. Does anyone have this observation and why would this occur? It's only on this forum, generally only the start of a sentence, and I don't know why.

As of early 2022, who makes STP oil filters and does anyone have an opinion on them, positive or negative? I've got $25 in credits to burn and figured some free oil filters would be handy to set aside.

Likely buying a house very soon, and it will be an older house with all older appliances. I'm debating the added costs of a "home warranty" to cover major appliances, possibly the roof, and so forth. Pricing generally ranges in the $300-500 for very basic coverage, to somewhere around $1500 for...

I'm likely buying a house with a Carrier furnace, and I noticed the filter size is large, a 16x25x4 inch beast! Furnace is a Carrier model number 58MTB080-16 for reference. Have a bunch of 16x25x1 inch filters. Can I use them instead, just changing more frequently. Or even stack 2 or several...

Looking at an 1966 Chevy C30 that has had a new engine put in it. Seller is vague and uncertain what block is in it, as it predated his possession. He has said from the beginning it's a 350, and it appears to be the case. I want to be more certain. I'm needing to decode it to see if this is...

I'd consider myself a near expert winter driver having spent most of my 3 decades of adult life living and regularly driving in heavy snowy/icy/rainy winter conditions. In 2019 I put a set of lightly used Toyo Open Country II AT 265/70/17 on my SUV. I was a previous fan of the Bridgestone AT...

I have service thru a main carrier, about $60/mo. after fees and taxes for phone and unlimited text and data. I use my phone for my primary number, and have a tag on 2nd free Google Voice number for business. It works pretty well for my needs. I rarely go over 2gb data but a few times a year...
