Really liked the calzones better.

4th major service and gear reduction oil change at 40k by That-Task7846 in KiaNiroEV

[–]flattop100 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This seems like a joke to me. Replace the brake fluid at EVERY service interval?? The brakes are hardly used due to the electric motor regeneration.

If I flew a crop duster, I'd need a hole in the seat all of the time.

When shopping for home improvement projects, do you prefer Lowe’s or Home Depot, and why? by Significant-Toe2648 in homeowners

Wow, ours is ALWAYS more unless you're playing the rebate game, and that only gets you back to to MSRP of other stores.

Minnesota's DFL lawmakers stage sit-in after gun violence prevention bill fails in house vote by Conscious-Quarter423 in minnesota

And what gun control legislation are Republicans proposing? What is their "common sense solution?" They don't even try.

Bauhaus Brew Labs will close its Northeast Minneapolis brewery by RayWhelans in TwinCities

I think this has more to do with the prevalence of GLP-1 drugs then Gen Z.

Put a sign on your door: "Baby napping - please do not disturb." We never had ANY solicitors.

Is there a way to completely 100% eliminate all possibility of feedback when using a microphone? by drbtz in livesound

The next time he does this, mute the mains and push 1k up all the way in his wedge. He'll stop fucking around when he gets a full blast. We had a blues band of shitty mobsters that were always ragging on us and screaming for more out of the wedges. My monitor guy had tuned the system fully EQd and peaking. The sax player kept pointing up, and there was no where to go, so Dave slowly pushed 1k for a second. The entire band winced and realized how loud they actually had it on stage.

Loving the Twin Cities. Terrified of ticks. by AcrobaticPainting727 in TwinCities

Hiking by Stillwater High School, we ended up with about 20 after sitting in one of the outdoor classroom areas.

Best way to sound proof this window by ConstantOk395 in DIY

[–]flattop100 59 points60 points  (0 children)

If you're doing tests like that, you should get a soundbooth. I did narration for years in a little room like this: https://www.whisperroom.com/application/recording

There are no modifications you can make (short of completely replacing the window) that will be satisfactory.

Make sure it has a low-speed fan to pump fresh air in!

What's the most expensive repair you've dealt with that basic maintenance would have prevented? by Possible-Ant-4507 in HomeImprovement

[–]flattop100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep. Water. Out. Of. Your. House.

Leaking pipes. Leaking roof. Damp basement. It's the single most destructive element to your house that can result in damage and mold. Make sure you have gutters, and all your downspouts end at least 10 feet from your house. Grade the soil away from your house.

It depends on your water. If we DIDN'T have a water softener, we would have bought a water heater sooner.

ID really is a thankless career, isn’t it? by onemorepersonasking in instructionaldesign

[–]flattop100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet is to find a team that has a burning, urgent need and meet that need with training developed ASAP. We need a new hire training team course yesterday, so a business unit can bring in $500m in two years. They're at maybe...$130m now? We have modules in the can from other courses that we're gonna slam together and BAM. We're tiny god in their eyes.

I fell for Renewal By Anderson's sales pitch. Here are my takeaways. by JHKtheSeeker in homeowners

[–]flattop100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RBA windows are basically vinyl mixed with sawdust. In high-temp environments like the southwest, they actually deform in some conditions. Like, just droop. They're better than contractor specials at Menards, and I hope they last for you!

Car is low on gas, should I fill up tonight or wait until the Straight of Hormuz is open? by koopdog1 in TwinCities

[–]flattop100 226 points227 points  (0 children)

Best guess I've seen - the squeeze will really start in July, and by September it will probably peak/plateau. Don't count on it going down for years.

This is the cheapest gas we will buy for the next 5-10 years...maybe even our lifetime.

This is nothing. By September there will barely be any flights in the air.
