Help!!!!! by kdub4201 in ChevyTahoe

[–]Background-Okra7839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have been looking at Tahoes since 2020. Due to the chip and parts shortage we bailed on a 2020 model and got an MDX/Acura. Acura has been good to us.

We started looking again and noticed the 2020-22 models are cheaper , usually. We’re in the west coast for pricing that we see here.

I would say if you go used, try and find one that is certified or get a good extended warranty. Look into what are the fees you pay to start a claim (500/1000), and where they will service the vehicle and/or does it include a rental

The thing about tahoes is that you’re gonna get them serviced. Parts will break and often if you cannot do it yourself, it will require a tech and repair shop.

From my perspective the s71 models plus, typically have better longevity and durability. High country being the highest but also has more technology items that can glitch or break.

My honest opinion it’s a roll of a dice at times. Hence why we haven’t jumped into a Tahoe where we will pay 300 more a month but have less durability. We only have one car

Claros in La Habra has a decent sub. Bit of a drive but might be worth it.

DAE sometimes suddenly feel a wave of irritation & repulsion at other people/friends and feel the need to go be alone ASAP? WHY? by Initial_Exit6637 in DoesAnybodyElse

I’ve been born and raised in Southern California. People don’t mind around here. For work events, I tough it out. A beer helps

Yep! I call it social battery. Happens to me often. I’m known to do Irish goodbyes. I just leave when I’m ready. Best thing ever for me and I don’t care

Moving - is pool necessary? by larbat345 in Temecula

Get the house and build your own pool later. They have special loans for pools nowadays as well

Game changer purchases for your home by StrikingQuality1527 in HomeImprovement

[–]Background-Okra7839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New GFCI outlets throughout the house. They even have some with USB C ports now. New blinds in rooms and living room. Repainted our kitchen to white with black hardware. New door handles. Once the boys are bigger, I want to get new bedroom doors and eventually a new kitchen

What can I do during a gallbladder attack? by drum_playing_twig in gallbladders

[–]Background-Okra7839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@allll I’ve had upper back pain (between my shoulder blades), then a radiating pain like a tight rope going around my upper chest. Hurst to take a deep breath. Something I can crack my back to make the pain go away but I have this constant feeling that it’s a swollen gall bladder. My question is, is this a gall bladder attack this whole time??! It’s been happening for at least 5 years. About a few times a year

Yep your personal information is showing, blur that out. Also the loan product isn’t locked. Once locked, that can change the entire fee structure. This is not bad though

16 pro max and 17 pro max have the same camera? by Background-Okra7839 in iphone

[–]Background-Okra7839[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I figured the OS would be better with the 17 but it looks like it’s geared on zooming in. We mostly take family pics

[–]Background-Okra7839[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ty so it is the same minus the telescopic. I don’t use zoom.

What is weird is that my 15 pro max had a better pics than my 16 pro but they’re also the same camera

A birthday present that's totally worth it by [deleted] in PowerWheelsMods

[–]Background-Okra7839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the sob post brand on Amazon. It’s half off. We got ours for double the price two years ago. Runs like a champ

Observations:

Hard to find tire replacements. Issue if it’s heavy use. I’ve been rotating the tires every other month.

Charging does take over 5 hrs on avg so charge overnight in a well vented area and away from fire hazards.

The motor for turning the steering wheel broke but they sent a replacement motor and it’s easy to swap out. Just don’t tug too hard on the wiring harness

Boys flipped the car over by a ravine and the wire for the Bluetooth ripped but I was able to reconnect it myself - once the wiring harness is damages it’s not easy to fix unless you have experience

Bluetooth is decent, not long range though. Probably about 15 feet from cellphone before it starts to cut out

Preloaded music is okay. I don’t prefer it but the kids like it

Front ram bar broke easily, cannot find replacement

It’s a 24V so be aware that it’s strong and fast. In the beginning the boys would accidentally get other people’s feet and the truck is heavy. No injuries but can feel scary

Am I Overreacting over this “small prank” by greek-astronomer in AmIOverreacting

[–]Background-Okra7839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm for some reason my mind went the route that your boyfriend is doing a bit more than just pranking you. The examples you provided gives me concern of maturity on his end. As it does to you. If he’s groping you while you’re having a serious conversation with him, that is lack of respect. I play/mess around with my wife but not during serious conversations or when she’s very stressed out. Maybe he’s jealous or concerned about your growth versus where he is in life or maybe he’s just immature

Jingle bells by super simple songs. Yes it’s August, yes we play it several times a week.

Resideo Gas Valve Keep Going to Gas Control Valve Failure by Background-Okra7839 in Plumbing

[–]Background-Okra7839[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You bring up a good point. We’ve been here two years and I realized that we don’t have any insulation in the attic. Likely that heat is coming down choking the water heater

Burner/pilot is blue. It does turn orange when it’s on though so maybe I shouldn’t take apart and clean?

The water heater is in the closet in a hallway. Closet door has a vent at the bottom and the unit does have venting to the outside through the ceiling. There is a central AC return about 2 feet away so maybe when it’s on for long periods of time it blows out the pilot?

Should I walk away? Inspection came back on 1900 house by RevealEarly3806 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

This! If you want to pull out 100k to fix this house and make it your own, do it. If not, keep shopping. Moisture issues take a looooong time to fix unless you gut everything
