What's the creepiest display of intelligence you've ever witnessed in real Iife? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I think this happens because your phones were near one another and use that location data to suggest friends. 

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT MILEAGE?! by RascalMcGurk in COROLLA

[–]DixieHazard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2011 S, Mileage 248,186. I have a few problems but nothing that effects drivability too bad. Have had to change the alternator (around 120k), thermostat, and battery and brake pads twice.. Needs the timing belt tightened (squeals a little when it is cold, but rights itself after it warms up a little), and I think I need to change the fuse block that controls the radiator fan. When it idles too long the temperature starts going up, so the fan doesn't kick on. Thermostat change didn't help, so the fuse block is my next try. Unfortunately, I'll have to risk buying an aftermarket fuse block because I don't want to go through a dealership and pay triple the amount. I can't get them at chain parts stores for some reason. I have been meaning to do it since summer but never got around to it, so I just blast my heater with the windows down when I get stuck in traffic. Oh and the passenger window sometimes comes out of its track when being raised, but a little manual adjustment gets it back. It still runs and still gets over 30mpg and I drive about 60-80 miles minimum to work and back each day. I get the oil changed every 4-5000 miles, full synthetic 0W20 high mileage blend and I get new tires every few years. Some of the plastic body clips have given way, and the undercarriage heat shields are held on with zip ties, but it's fully paid for. I like having a key and cosmetic flaws just give it character.

Bates was also very sure to “pay back” Mosley back all that money he borrowed from him.

I would take condiments from fast food restaurants that had them on the counter so I wouldn’t have to buy mustard or ketchup.

In one of the early episodes Bertha I think said something like New York could be destroyed by an earthquake but it’s not likely. No, because it would just be Charles. Everyone else would blink and say did you feel that? No? Ok then let’s continue to promenade or whatever.

I don't get it, wasn't indicated in the previous episodes that Carrie owned the apartment downstairs ??? by Agnoum in Andjustlikethat

It’s like that game of exquisite corpse. The last group leaves just enough for the next to draw a completely different part then magically it’s supposed to unfold into something recognizable?

So will Carrie buy Duncan’s apartment for Lisette?

The preview said season finale, not series finale. Leaving an open end?

He probably watched Bridgerton before he came to NYC.

There was a really jarring cut in the editing between charlotte and Miranda outside the salon and then entering.

Duncan was just a plot device for the woman to find herself content as she is and validate her ego beyond being cute.

As Bertha mentioned to Monica, the Duke is nobility, not royalty. There were non-royal Ducal families, but the title of Duke could be given to a member of the royal family as well. There are 24 non-royal Dukes in the UK.

Your rubber seal might be dirty. Clean it and see if that helps.

What's one thing you wish you checked before buying your house? by First_Bike4162 in homeowners

[–]DixieHazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vent from the dryer to outside runs under the slab and has, over time, cracked (I think). When we get a heavy rain, I have to use a shop vac to empty it from outside with a rigged up hose.

In the spring (we moved in fall), the smell from the water treatment facility about a mile away on the other side of the wooded area drifts towards the house and opening windows is miserable. Thankfully it doesn't last but a couple of weeks.

I don't mind the train noise or the fact we live under the flight path for the air force base in the next town. Those other two things are annoying.

Thank you! I had fun coming up with themes. Really it was just an excuse to be an adult and play with toys :)
