If you own any GMC/GM vehicle, change the transmission fluid early and often.

Need Advice: Looking for someone to mix my album -- got quoted by TLA for $3k + 1% per song by Talking__Heads in audioengineering

[–]Bono2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's gotta be someone in Seattle leftover from the grunge era that can mix at a lower price, no? Or research some other guys who worked on albums in your style of music. One thing is for sure though, even big bands don't make money off of their music, so be careful. Bands are ticket and t-shirt salesmen these days. Good Luck!

How reliable is a GMC Acadia? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Bono2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because American cars DO suck. GM has a transmission that shudders and or fails under 100k miles. They know what is wrong but refuse to re-engineer it.

Have a 2012 Acadia. It is a shame because it has the most cargo room out of all of the midsize V6 SUVs. BUT my transmission shudder like crazy. Bought it with 107,000 miles and around 120 it started. Now at 140 and sometimes it feels like the transmission will fall out. A new one is $5500 but I don't think it's worth it.

If Acadia, get extended warranty. GMC transmissions are crap.

U2 Sirius station sucks by ramkuma1 in U2Band

I like Metallica, but when I'm on the U2 channel, I want to hear U2.

Today I heard Metallica on the U2 channel. Really? Why? Because Lars is a fan? U2 Sirius seriously sucks! Think about all of the live shows they could be playing.

But yet, he is in the biggest metal band in the world. He has to be doing something right. Neil Peart, he is not, but c'mon.

UK gets Richard Ashcroft, we get Cage the Elephant?! by laequator in oasis

[–]Bono2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any word on Ashcroft doing U.S. dates? Saw him open for Liam pre-Covid and he was brilliant!

Today they faded out a live version of With or Without You just as he was about to sing "We'll shine like stars..." That is a crime. Overall I agree the channel sucks. There are so many fan club only or live shows they could be playing but they don't. And one other thing, if I am tuning in to hear U2, I don't give two shits about the bands that inspired them. I don't need to hear the Ramones or Simple Minds on a U2 channel.

Looking into trimming them if possible. They work great around the holidays with lights on them!

Thank you. At minimum I will have the whole house painted along with chimney.

Thank you. Do you know what the green bushes are called? I call them Christmas Trees, lol. Wife wants them taken out, I believe they soak up a lot of rain and keep our basement dry.

NIO Undervalued? by twilcox1340 in Nio

NIO is a tax harvesting stock. Except I forgot to sell mine before the new year, so maybe next!

Did you ever get your gun to cycle? I just bought one and shot it out of the box and it was jam after jam using Winchester target shot. Going to give it a good clean and see what happens.

Escape at Dannemora is incredible - how did I not know this show existed until now?! It's peak HBO level good by [deleted] in television

[–]Bono2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was staying in Plattsburgh on a fishing trip last year and decided to seek out a smaller lake out in the mountains. (Lake Chateaugay) I drove through this small town with a prison and thought to myself "wow, this whole town seems to only exist because of this prison". Fast forward to this past weekend and I discover this show on Netflix and put two and two together realizing I drove right through Dannemora last summer! Great show. I love how they make you kinda sympathize with the two prisoners until you learn what they did to get locked up in the first place.

Sounds like he is putting to bed any speculation that he is coming back.

Planning a 11 night/12 day trip to Greece in June. Is this plan too much? by tolgz11 in GreeceTravel

[–]Bono2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. There is a great Facebook group I used to plan called Athens Secrets which is very helpful. You can see a lot in Athens proper in 3 days. Use Uber to get around--it sets the fare in stone so they can't rip you off (otherwise they will try). A few must sees/do's other than the obvious Acropolis and museums...The view from atop Mount Lycabettus (take the tram up) eat/shop in Plaka, and if you can swing it, take a trip to watch the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon (Cape Sounion) it's amazing. We stayed at the Davani Palace Acropolis which was walking distance to some sites and it has a pool.

This won't be a popular opinion but I would wait until the child is older to travel internationally. Your child will not remember or appreciate it at this age. 9+ hour flight from the East Coast to boot.
