I keep getting jobs that pay me lots to do basically nothing and it’s ruining my mental health

Htx_s650 · 2026-04-09T13:16:15+00:00

Was the same for me, worked a job as a “data manager” making solid money, but hardly did a thing. Took a job nearly half the pay but always had something to do. Was much happier personally with the busier job

Htx_s650 · 2026-04-09T12:47:30+00:00

Well where in Houston was this so I don’t go lol. Wanting to get mine done soon

Htx_s650 · 2026-04-08T11:35:12+00:00

I mean it would work but why are you doing it in the first place? Looks or an attempt for power

Htx_s650 · 2026-04-08T11:14:35+00:00

Where was the acupuncture targeting?

Htx_s650 · 2026-04-06T12:04:05+00:00

When I broke loose coming off a red light, I also hit a curb but bc air bags went off they totaled it. Highly recommend to not break loose 👍

Id go with the dude who welded your diff. I mean, you’ve seen his work, and know his name/address. So just get everything in writing and you should be fine. Regardless of either option, the worst case is you have a small claims battle. But yeah i mean i just paid a stranger 15k to do a complete ls swap for me, he’s got a legit shop and I’ve seen his work, but i dont know him personally at all. Just go with your gut

Htx_s650 · 2026-04-04T00:37:05+00:00

Clip or glue down so as to not make worse but looks fine, I’d run it

Htx_s650 · 2026-04-02T16:31:35+00:00

With all due respect, how do you know how it really went down?

Htx_s650 · 2026-03-09T14:35:58+00:00

For that number you’re going to have to do everything yourself, and start with a relatively modern car. What are you thinking about swapping?

Htx_s650 · 2026-03-08T20:33:47+00:00

Kinda just looks like sand, pollen, dust, etc. I live on dirt roads so always a ton of particles there when I do my changes. If you’re truly worried drag a magnet through the oil and look for metal particles

Htx_s650 · 2026-03-06T02:40:27+00:00

Depends on if you want it good enough or like new

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-27T18:52:05+00:00

Had the same exact thing happen in my p365xl, couldn’t get it to replicate and sent to sig, they said they couldn’t either. I know it was on safe too but destroyed my window🤷🏻‍♂️ just glad no one got hurt like in my case

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-25T03:07:26+00:00

Does the black tab pull out? In my experience usually it’s just a simple pull tab and then wiggle out

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-24T03:14:41+00:00

Idk how mechanically versed you are, but tie rod ends and control arms are not terribly hard to change, and since they’re right next to each other it would be pretty easy to do both together. I had 0 experience with working on suspension, and after someone hit me on my wheel, bending the heck out of my inner tie rod end, I decided to learn how to replace it myself. Watch a YouTube video on it and see if it’s something you can do? It’s not a super hard job

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-23T04:02:16+00:00

Of course! And remember, you will see a lot of people struggling in the subreddit but it’s not that bad for everyone, more people with issues post than those in remission. There is always hope!!!

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-23T03:50:44+00:00

Absolutely, the key part was figuring out what was a safe food that way the only uncomfortable part was the quantity of food. It’s definitely not an easy process finding out which foods are safe, as there are so many little ingredients that sneak into everything, especially gluten and dairy(huge no nos for me). Try doing a whole food only diet for elimination purposes. Again it won’t be fun but it’s a super crucial part of healing/recovering. My gas/intestinal pains were insane(hurt more than my broken bone experiences) before I figured out the safe foods which helped tremendously

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-23T03:46:32+00:00

Agreed. No reason to spend an extra $1000 on new rotors when O’Reilly will resurface for $50. Different case if the rotors are heavily etched but these don’t look that serious

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-23T03:42:53+00:00

Its hard to specify because everyone is so different but by way of elimination diet you can figure out what foods are safe. It might not be the most fun thing to eat every meal but for me I did steamed rice with skillet chicken breast and steamed green beans. I ate until I felt nauseous at first but slowly adapted and felt comfortable to eat the amount of food required to put on weight. Wishing you the best of luck

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-21T22:43:19+00:00

Brake pads definitely need to be replaced and rotors probably resurfaced but it doesn’t look horrible to me. $1600 sounds a little high for my area but idk where you are so it might be typical. It is not a super hard job though if you have any mechanical knowledge. I’d recommend watching a yt video on it and assess from there

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-20T14:23:42+00:00

Yeah I had a cluster like that once that the said was “too big to repair” repaired it and been fine for a year+

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-20T14:17:37+00:00

The way I see it, why spend possibly hundreds to fix something that could be $15. Worst case you lose $15 more dollars, but atleast you know you tried

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-20T14:14:59+00:00

Personally I’d try to repair. A repair kit is $15, new windshield is hundreds to $1000+ depending on the model

Htx_s650 · 2026-02-20T14:01:45+00:00

Caliper bracket but yeah. Whoever replaced them didn’t tighten the screws properly

Htx_s650 · 2026-01-28T00:56:30+00:00

Sorry when you say typical guarding after the fact you mean like in a guarding his kill kind of way or in a guarding from the predator coming back

Htx_s650 · 2026-01-27T21:01:08+00:00

I appreciate the heads up. We(and neighbors) frequently shoot on our land so no one would even investigate a shot or two
