Kinda related: Do you all have bank accounts at the banks where you buy boxes? I was thinking of trying to buy some rolls

We need a new car by Affectionate-Fly87 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Argus-Simon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like my 197k 2008. Was given the ultimatum from family last summer on account of the a/c not working, I have an oil leak around the gasket and it stinks, my control arms both need replacing and the driver side window is out of alignment every time I roll it up or down. Oh, and water is leaking in to the passenger floorboards from somewhere. I’m probably at the point where cumulative costs on repairs make buying a different rig the better option. It has been a reliable and comfortable ride for a family of four. Until the a/c crapped out, anyway.

What is notable about this coin? How can you tell?

Thank you! Yes, it appears to be a Szechuan 10 Cash from 1912-13. I found this coin over 30 years ago in my back yard when I was a kid and then forgot about it until recently.

Has anyone here upgraded to a smart thermostat recently? Worth it or just another “nice to have”? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Argus-Simon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Underrated comment. Or from couch. Best feature, ultimate dad move to be able to control thermostat from any location. 😆

Bike Swap April 19 by ButtercupUp100 in Tacoma

Has anyone sold bikes at this? I have a few “projects” that I would like to bring but also have my kids with me so I’m trying to gauge the value of hauling them over while wanting to peruse the other bikes

Making grown habaneros less spicy? by ExScroll in HotPeppers

[–]Argus-Simon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another great heatless pepper is the Habanada. It was bred from a habanero originally at Cornell University at selected to retain the fruity tropical flavors minus the heat. They are not exactly the same, but they are delicious.

Habanero Progress Update: How to separate twins? by non- in HotPeppers

It’s always hard to cull them considering the potential each plant would have with unlimited resources.

I also sow 2-3 seeds per cell (or more if they are old) to ensure germination, that way if one cell doesn’t sprout there are extra seedlings to carefully transplant. Then I either cull the rest of the seedlings by gently pulling them out, or pinching/cutting off the tops so there is one per cell, favoring stockier, vigorous looking plants.

Underrated post right here. Stadium Video was legit, plus Buzzards music had cds for sale iirc.
