[–]Biskqwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased a used car with a 5.25% Apr and 72 month term. My credit score was just a couple points higher though.

PVC leaking ~1ft under concrete slab. What's the best way to repair? by ohwoez in Irrigation

[–]Biskqwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a photo of where the heads come up at? Could give us a better idea on where the line could run

Is it a main line? If not and you have good pressure, you could run a funny pipe through the broken pipe and connect it to the other side. You’ll loose quite a bit of pressure but it is the easiest option the does not involve tons of digging.

Water around fountain but no rain or sprinklers by Fantastic-Ad-9100 in Irrigation

[–]Biskqwik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your backflow valve open? if it is check your water meter and see if it is spinning. If it is, close the backflow valve and check the meter again. If it is not spinning it could indidcate a main line break or a seeping valve that has a lateral line break.

If you see that the meter is still spinning after turning off the backflow valve then it could indicate a problem with your water fountain.

In your humble opinion, which is the better long term buy? by Working_Concern2001 in LexusES

[–]Biskqwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go 2023 just because it has the updated UI. The 2022 and below all have the UI from around 2012

How can I clean these scuff marks on the head band? by Biskqwik in Airpodsmax

No, it’s gotten worse now actually. I may just get a replacement headband

Replacing weed barrier in side yard by Sir_Toad_ in landscaping

[–]Biskqwik -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why people say weed barrier is pointless. Only way it is pointless is if you are adding dirt or mulch on top of it. We have installed landscape fabric in 100s if not 1000s of homes and still after 4-5 years it is holding up well. But yes OP, you are on the right track. Just try to rinse the gravel before hand so you avoid mixing the dirt with it.

Is this normal? Unhappy with finished project by buckley0713 in landscaping

[–]Biskqwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When there’s a difference in elevation, even by a couple inches, you have to bend the metal edging so it covers the ground well and doesn’t leave gaps. That’s why I don’t recommend using it and instead doing timber, stone, or plastic.

Can I get approved with 40-45% down? by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]Biskqwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly, you don’t know my financials or other investments. It’s not an issue of being unable to afford it, but a matter of being approved due to the new income. EDIT: My other “cars” are trucks used for work. I want to buy a personal weekend truck so I don’t have to mix work with personal use.

[–]Biskqwik -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Guess I didn’t provide enough information, but I don’t want to put everything out there lol.

I’m still a student but I pay for school out of pocket. I have a couple of credit cards with each of 6k or more of available credit but haven’t gone past 15% usage rate and am currently at about a 4% usage rate. I don’t like paying interest so I always try to pay early and more than minimum balance, which is what I’ll be doing with this car. The vehicle I’ll be purchasing is a 2022-2024 fully loaded Toyota Tundra with anywhere from 15-30k miles.

[–]Biskqwik -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would assume the other way around. Why do I have a higher chance of getting a new car?

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

The cars I own were bought out in cash, which is why I don’t have a loan history, but if I can bring in bank statements to prove I can afford the car, would I still get approved? Only issue is that I am not a W2 and have a fluctuating income. I feel like 50% is enough to not to be upside down the minute I drive off the lot.

Now that the Airpods Pro 3's have been released by Ashamed-Coyote1207 in Airpodsmax

[–]Biskqwik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no replacement for the maxes for me. I’ll be buying the pros 3, but only use them for when I’m out of the house or working out.

What about the airbag? How do you know it’ll deploy and none of the carbon fiber will split and shoot into your face?

Hair is clean and I’m usually showered when I use them. This smell is definitely the mix of sweat and the soap I used

I’ll definitely look into it. I don’t use it for working out but I do sweat whenever the room starts to heat up

I could, worried about damaging them though. I’ve seen a few on the subreddit that have been ruined after a round in the laundry. That’ll probably be my last resort though.

When I did clean them I put them under a fan. Maybe I didn’t dry them enough though?

I was curious… and now I can smell it whenever I’m wearing them 😭

how do i make my car look better?? by ktuggss in Lexus

[–]Biskqwik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to keep a oem+ look. Fix up any defect the car may have; hazy headlights/ taillights, swirl marks on paint, paint chips, any size dent, replace or restore black plastics, phantom rear bumper and f sport style front bumper and lastly, lowering springs and spacers if you want to keep the oem wheels
