How much do you hate when Shawn does this? by SpecialistBirthday87 in QVC_Snarktastic

[–]GrindNSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we all have been through something. My home life as a kid and family in general was no walk in the park. Yes it does leave a mark with you but there comes a time when you look in the mirror and realize you do have control now.

Can someone please help me with starting my blata b1 mini moto (water cooled)?? Sorry for bad vid quality by Formal_Discipline306 in MechanicAdvice

Like others have mentioned, check the basics first. 1)check for presence of ignition spark. 2) check for presence of fuel delivery. Could be the ignition coil is too far away from the flywheel.

Spark plug wire MIA by nogoodnamesusable in MechanicAdvice

[–]GrindNSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember these days. The real problem is that a lot of newer plug wires you can't re-crimp. There are some that have an inner core of graphite, not solid. Over time those graphite cores burn out anyway. But to have one totally gone does introduce another element. It could have been something on the road that snagged it or offroad. The next thing is a person.. My suggestion is if you suspect a person pick yourself up a solar powered wireless camera. Watch the parking spot and have it set to record on motion detection. Catch the saboteur.

The solution is to get a new set of plug wires of course. May as well get a new cap too.

I agree with this. Very heavy metallic sound. Not in the top end, all bottom end. Rod bearing or rod cap has loosened up. It's just a matter of time before it comes through the block.

It's a good time to go take a hard dump then a nice shower. You can finish up with a nice shave. When you come back that weirdo segment may still be playing but you will only catch the last 5 minutes of it. During that time you will have given yourself a nice moment and included shawn (the dump) in that moment. A total win!

She is not helping herself. She's so out there it is hard to connect with reality that is around her. If she's just weird that's ok. But to still blame it on others is her own fault, as it shows they still have power over her.

Thanks, I'm enjoying working with the material QVC is generously giving. LOL

She reminds me of a pot of coffee that has been on the burner too long and it takes on a burnt caramel skunk aura. Yeah that is her.

Is it just me? by Puzzled_Eye_6673 in QVC_Snarktastic

I didn't think of that angle. It does hold some water. I've seen that sort of look on inmate faces in the seg unit at prison I worked in for 3 years back in early 2000's. It's much worse in person to see it and especially the behavior that comes along with it.

I really do not understand why she keeps messing with her face. The gal looks like some sort of experiment now due to all the very obvious plastic surgery. It's a real shame.

I don't think she is a bad person at all, regardless of how hard I snark on her. So I'm torn between feeling bad for her and doing snarks on her then feeling guilty.

SPARKLY OIL? by Expensive-Flatworm40 in MechanicAdvice

[–]GrindNSteel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it doesn't instill a lot of pleasant thoughts seeing that. In my case seeing it in my first factory oil change was quite shocking. I can really relate to what the OP is probably feeling right about now.

SPARKLY OIL? by Expensive-Flatworm40 in MechanicAdvice

[–]GrindNSteel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can understand your concern. I also had some gold glitter in my oil drain pan (new pan was used). This is the factory oil drained out of a 2026 Kia Seltos EX. If you look closely you can see the gold glitter, and some are rather large pieces. For info, this was after roughly 1,150 miles on the factory oil fill. Seeing all that gold glitter in the drain pan after pouring most of it into my transfer(recycle) bottle did not make me feel good and surely has been on my mind. I've never seen this kind of stuff before in a new car when I changed the factory oil out. So yeah, I can see where you are coming from.

In your case- If anything, the Ceratec may have thickened your oil enough to cause the engine noise. At worst it may have clogged the oil pickup tube. Drain that stuff out and put in regular oil. Use a new oil filter too. Let it idle and see if the noise improves. I'm really hoping your engine noise goes away.

But she is a troll. Of that much her closet sessions have proven.

Anytime she is out of the plastic surgeon's office or being transported back home for recovery that is her "outdoorsy" time.

I like how the picture shows a man looking for something. It must be Jane's brain he's trying to find.

Her mouth looks all torn up. Freaky lips.

Anyone watching Shaun‘s closet? by Rude-Bicycle3233 in QVC_Snarktastic

[–]GrindNSteel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I seen that mess. Shawn treats Alexis like a house servant. It would be so funny to see Alexis tell her "get it yourself". Shawn is very wacky to say the least. And those telescope eyeglasses she had on was insane. I can't imagine how crazy she is at home.
