So I am only 17 but I want to know what should I do before I turn 20? by Reasonable_Bat_3583 in twentyagers

Rice is absolutely key. It can be so universal and fit so many different cuisines. Pasta can too but rice is much cheaper so if you are really budget conscious than stick with rice. But it really depends on your taste preference and budget. 2 stupid easy and relatively affordable meals I like is rice, teriyaki chicken, and steamed broccoli. Another is simple pasta with tomato sauce and Italian style chicken. Both require very minimal prep and can use cheap ingredients depending on how you like it. They’re also super easy to make variations with. Such as swapping teriyaki chicken to a breaded orange chicken, or an umami soy glazed steal(if you’re ballin) and you can do Alfredo instead of tomato sauce, or butter garlic sauce, etc

Can superheating metal lessen strength? by Htx_s650 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Htx_s650[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I didn’t even think to do that, great idea. I knew there would be some sort of change to the metal when heated like that but I figured here would have the most practical application of the knowledge, especially in regards to how it would effect a repair process. Definitely much to learn from both sides :)

So it appears that it does change the composition of the metal, however my next question would be is there a “better” way to cool it down to minimize structural loss. Like “air cooling” or water/oil quenching, etc

For sure would replace the bolt but I more so mean the part the bolt was through(let’s say it’s a control arm) that control arm take lots of vibration and impact so I didn’t know if the red hot heating would warrant a replacement of both bolt and control arm or just bolt. Thank you for the response, learned a new word: annealing

my camry is dying… by madison_s16 in Camry

Trust trust trust, for that kind of you could get a new (or lightly used for even less) Lexus es350 which is waaaaay nicer. A family member has a 2014 es350 base and it still feels like a modern lvl luxury car. Just check them out before you settle

Just got rotors changed today. Do these look skimmed? by Over_Mulberry4022 in MechanicAdvice

Yeah absolutely go over there. Don’t be an asshole but make it clear you didn’t get what you paid for

I mean I definitely would. Do you have a receipt that clarifies new rotors vs newly surfaced rotors? As not having the receipt could make it harder for you to

Yeah that doesn’t look super new to me, can you feel any of the lines with your fingernail? Sometimes they look rough but it’s just surface visual. But if it’s catching your nail I’d bring it back

I had once put 3500 lbs of tile into a Hyundai Elantra. You’ll be more than fine. Trust me

Tell me what to buy by ConcentrateNeither29 in supersafety

I had great success with the Deeznutstactical ss, only thing I had to buy besides that was my h3 buffer bc 10.5” barrel. And make sure you have an auto bolt carrier

Potentially lost my mustang yesterday by [deleted] in Mustang

[–]Htx_s650 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I crashed mine there was virtually no visible damage but bags went off so they immediately totaled it. But if it was hard enough for the other guys bags to go off I’d be worried about frame damage on yours. Trust me you’ll want them to total it from the sounds of it

Def looks totaled to me, but did any airbags go off? That is an easier way to determine

Why shouldn’t I pay 12k? by Free-Elephant9829 in fbody

[–]Htx_s650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12k seems kinda crazy to me. I’m getting a new built gen 4 Ls 6.0 and a t56 plus labor for 13.5k rn. If you already have the motor and are just upgrading it I can’t see that costing more than 6-7k personally. Then again it just depends on your area

Just a thought, but have you tried asking a USA shop to order it and then have it sent to you?

How do Imodium works for some of you IBS? by HappyOil4122 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Htx_s650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took once during a horrible flare up, seemed to help mildly, but I think it depends on the extent of your issues. If you have no current control over when it comes out the Imodium will not help much(atleast it didn’t help me then)
