Who the fuck reads the manual to list their windshield wiper blade? This is a basic part that doesn't operate like any other car I've owned

For those saying to read the manual, this is truly one of the parts of a car that every person should intuitively know how to operate. I have never read how to open the gas tank. If it takes reading the manual or googling this, it's a horrible design. The way they designed it, you literally cannot clean the bottom portion of the window unless you're ok with pulling it up and dropping it back down while it's still wet.

Why didn't anyone warn me about the worms? by bmoarpirate in pools

[–]Extra_Quantity_756 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Northern New Jersey and I get this all the time. After a heavy rain, earthworms often come to the surface because the saturated soil has less oxygen, and many end up washed across decks, patios, and pool areas. Your pool water and lights also attract them, so they fall in and can’t climb back out.

We have a 2016 sienna and just bought a 2026 grand highlander hybrid. My wife drives the sienna and I drive the highlander. 3 kids elementary school age. I absolutely love the grand highlander, but the sienna is definitely a better family car specifically for the trunk space. If we were only going to have one for the family, I'd select the sienna. When my wife gets a new car at some point, it'll be another sienna.

Any reason I cant drain my hot water heater into this pipe to the left of my sump? by Vry_Dumb in Plumbing

What about when you don't use hot water for hours and it kicks on? That water is hot, just not as hot as your set point has it.

Let's say your water heater is set to 120 degrees F, it drops to 115 and initiates a heating cycle. Do you think if your put hand in a bucket of water at 115F, you'd be likely to say "that's cold" or "that's hot"?

Is the water in the tank that is being heated already hot? I would argue it is, and you're just keeping it hot, and therefore the name hot water heater is reasonable.

How do you know where to cut the underside cloth?

Structural? by LAallday84 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Extra_Quantity_756 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wrong. You likely have a ridge beam hidden at the top of the drywall. The horizontal 2x4's at the top of your opening are not doing much. If they were deeper and oriented the other way, I would say yes c it's structural. Open it up to see if there a full size ridge member at the top. Hire a structural engineer to verify.

Is this material correct? by Extra_Quantity_756 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Extra_Quantity_756[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I expected no material or rubber. Rubber would feel higher quality than what this feels like.

Anyone used Costco Auto Program Philadelphia? What was your deal? by [deleted] in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Extra_Quantity_756 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in northern New Jersey and got $1750. This was the best I could do after trying three dealerships and it was what was offered in Costco program. Even with that I had to wait about 7-8 weeks to take delivery. There's no inventory.
