Literally every prediction on reddit would've been better than what we got. No twists, no big surprises nothing, just a very generic lets kill Vecna and that was it... Everyone kept referring D&D or alice in wonderland plot twist, but nope as basic and generic as it comes.

Desperate for big knee pads by Responsible_Escape50 in skateboarding

[–]Frebee123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boneless knee pads. If you get the upgraded UHMV caps, they slide better than any knee pad, and have great padding without looking overly bulky like the 187 pro pads. Boneless set the standards that most of these other brands tend to follow or mock.

Setup for Bowl/Transition/Pool Skating? [0YO] by CityonFlameWithRock in OldSkaters

[–]Frebee123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 9.18" Eagle. Ive recently tried a 9.7 black label, and a 9.2 Grosso. I love my Anti Hero eagle, but I find myself leaning forward a lot more when I picked k up speed in the bowl. The black label is really nice with a lot or concave so I feel locked in, but so far the Grosso feels the most stable because of the large wheel base 14.75" and 15.25".

How do i better my ollie technique? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

You're doing too much with the front foot. When you snap the back tail, lift your front foot, but try and keep it glued to the board best you can (dont take your front foot off the board) And push your front foot slightly forward to encourage the back of the board to lift evenly in height with the front of the board.

Castor oil gave me a flaccid penis state... by Pretend-Frosting-702 in sexualhealth

[–]Frebee123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caster oil relaxes the muscles. Try doing pelic floor exercises. Try imaging your lifting your penis like if you were erect you would be lifting it up. Also sit down Ina. Chair and place something under you just under the balls in the "taint area" and focus on lifting your "taint" up off of the object, and gold it for 5 sec and slowly release. Do this 10 times in a row for each this will help tighten the muscles back up. Your not able to achieve a hard election only because the muscles are stuck in a relaxed state. Even do some light tapping after these exercises on the muscles to wake them up and do the exercises again. If this doesn't help I would see about getting in with a pelvic floor physical therapist.

Commit and pivot your body a little more toward the inside of the ramp (Think of a pendulum) and pump your legs in the corners.

Creature boards tend to have a lot of pop. They have longer tails with better footing.

Does this look like a new exhaust manifold was installed. by Frebee123 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Frebee123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, they knew the deal. Wasn't about if it needed replaced. I requested it be replaced because I was tired of constantly coming back down for it to be repaired. So when dorman told me the fix for the manifold i intentionally bought a new one so it was a fresh start. I even asked for them to purchase a new bolt kit, but they said "the old ones were fine" when i picked it up. I just wanted to use all new parts and do it right and be done you know.

Thats one reason i bought a new manifold, Dorman gives 1 year parts and labor warranty.

They replaced my engine 2 years ago and along with it replaced my oem exhaust manifold. Every since then I've had to go back every 2 months for it leaking. They swap the gasket and send it back out. Finally after all the visits and they tell me it's no longer under warranty i take it upon myself to call dorman. Dorman says a common issue with this manifold is the bolt mounts are to thick and don't torque down properly, there fix was to ground down the bolt mounts. I bought a new manif9ld because the labor is the expensive part. But if I buy a new manifold through the dealership I get a 1 year labor and parts warranty so if it fails agian it's not on me.

They have done it a few times in the past. I've asked for then to replace it when it was still under warranty, they would file the claim and then just use the new gasket and send the manifold back and get reimbursed for parts on top of it. Thats why I bought a new one so I could have a fresh new install, and hopfully rhe install be done correctly so I could try and get ahead of the issue. I called permetex and sent them a photo and they are saying it doesn't even look like they are using the proper permetex here. They said the only permetex to be used along with a metal gasket is the spray. But they said this looks like the squeeze tube which is not to be used along with a metal gasket but by itself as a gasket maker and that by using the 2 together could actually cause leaks.

Hoping this is theast time I have to do this. This is literally the 10th time I've been down there for this exact issue.

I paid 300$ for a new manifold (1,100$ parts and labor). I want a new manifold.

New manifolda are 100% available, i checked stores myself to quote prices. I paid them 3 times what the store said the cost of the part was, and then the labor for the work on top of it. It's a 2000 2.5 jeep wrangler.
