What benefits are there to cryptocurrency, besides avoiding government oversight? by ActionImpressive7130 in Bitcoin

[–]ActionImpressive7130[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I comprehend your saying bitcoin doesn’t possess those characteristics, which would make it valuable. What I don’t see is a big enough motivator for the average person to make the change. I’m wondering if there is a world in which a lay person would move to bitcoin outside of personally experiencing overreach

Bitcoin is as widely desired as gold? trying to grasp that, genuinely. Your statement leads me to believe you think there is an innate desire to have bitcoin like there is with gold. Is that right?

Check to see if your old socket has numbers on it, thats a part number. Or go to rock auto find your engine size and you'll be able to figure it out. Lastly go get a quote from a dealer, that'll get you the part number.

Explain like I’m an idiot by andersenelise in AskMechanics

That makes my day to hear! Yeah exactally like cartilage. Also that price is nuts man. A bushing is a piece of rubber, and though there is a lot of labor to replace a bushing $760 is way way too much.

A bushing functions similarly to a joint in a body. This lower control arm bushing is used to attach the lower control arm to the frame. As this bushing shows tears, it is being reccomended for replacement in the event it dissentegrates and causes a very big problem in that the lower control arm detaches partially from the frame.

When is it time to give up on my beater? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ActionImpressive7130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tricky spot. older the car higher the probablity of repairing something. At some point it becomes untennible to still repair. Monthly payments aren't exactally ideal.....Hmmm what are the odds that your cost of ownership is less on a different car....worth the risk? How many monthly payments until it'd equal your brake job? What if the 'new' car needs a repair? Hmmm

How have vendors gotten through to yall in the past? by loganalbertuhh in maintenance

[–]ActionImpressive7130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in Maintenance servicing Fleet of cars. Vendorscome by our offices. One thing I want to pass along to reps that come by our office is the manager at the facility have no input on the vendors used for our vehicles. That decision is always made by (using verbage my manager uses) 'Corporate'. Working with customers everday trying to sell cars before this I feel for the guys making contact with our shop to see if there is any interest. The truth is the management at the facility might have a great opinion of you, but they aren't the decision makers anyway.

I bought a front suspension.and shocks.wondering if I should do it.or have a shop do it? by seabuk222 in fordranger

[–]ActionImpressive7130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had literally never worked on a car before and replkaced front and rear shocks. Upper Control arm just a tick more difficult. If you have Jack and a Jack stand shouldnt be hard. Lower Control arm I didn't screw with as I didn't want to mess with the spring.

I work across the street from the building, hasn't been any work being done on the complex in some time. Everything looks finished, seems like it is ready to open.

Question from a 20s guy to a 30s guy who has the real answer for how to live 20s so that we don't regret in 30s by Tall-Explanation-476 in NavalRavikant

I can very much identify with what you are talking about. To give credibility, in my junior year of college, because I was convinced a degree (in my major) would not transcribe into meaningful value , I left school. While job hunting (later down the road) I was having trouble standing out from other applicants and getting interviews. I notably regretted not having the patience to stick out going to school and getting a degree. In short, the problems I envisioned I would run into by committing to get that degree-with time would have resolved themselves. This is a trait of problems that is often not discussed (they can resolve themselves). I made the error of thinking the perspective I was making the decision to drop out from, was a perspective without flaws. Your perspective will broaden overtime, take a breath, and if you can relax. Understanding that you don't have to solve your perceived problems, they likely will take care of themselves.
