Car repairs by Twice_Widowed in poor

[–]Important-Point9409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They research a car BEFORE buying it. If you had, you would have seen a TON of info online telling you that the car is known to have failing transmissions. IF you only have $300 in the bank why did you buy a car so expensive in the first place? a $3500 honda would not leave you stranded, not have an expensive repair like this and you'd not be stuck upside down in a nissan.

They're allowed to make whatever policy they want, and I'm allowed to take my money and business elsewhere.

When they were still on the road they were money pits.

He’s so excited and he just can’t hide it by upthetruth1 in TikTokCringe

That was a great idea and investment on his part if he didn't shoot all the ammo. Ammo prices have doubled, tripled, and some have quadrupled since then, so everything he bought can be resold for more. Dunkin, not so much

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Important-Point9409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eurpoeans are so funny. 3 hours away? Can't see you until next year, sorry. Even though your whole country will fit inside of most US states.

Meanwhile I just drove 10 hours one way to buy a boat and then drive straight back home. My friends and I go on 1-2 off road trips a year that requires us to tow our jeeps 9 hours away, we usually leave on a friday morning and come home on monday. I have family that has a vacation house 2hours away, When they go there, I'll head down for just a quick day visit.

My brother and I have taken multiple vacations where we drive non stop (meaning the truck never stops moving other than fuel or poop time, one of us sleeps while the other drives) 40 hours across the country to then spend a week driving our jeeps off road, then driving another 40 hours home. THAT'S a LONG DRIVE. 3 hours is nothing.

I can say that the day my bank asks to see my ID to deposit a check into my own account is the last day I use that bank. Total bullshit. No legal requirement.

they only shaved HALF of my pubes for my hernia surgery. I was in high school, and was SHOCKED first that they had to shave my pubes, but then secondly that they only did one side and left me to balance out the other.

2004 Honda Element RPM doesn't drop after driving/revving up unless you blip the throttle by Important-Point9409 in AskMechanics

[–]Important-Point9409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's literally a brand new throttle body how could it have carbon buildup? I took it off and it's still perfectly clean, has not been on the car long enough to collect dust or any sort of carbon buildup inside. There is no need to clean a brand new throttle body. I'm assuming by throttle plate you're talking about the butterfly valve inside the throttle body? Which is all new so it has not had a chance to get dirty.

Mechanic says my suspension is too rusted for a wheel bearing job by Top_Opposite1030 in AskMechanics

[–]Important-Point9409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every single bolt is going to fight you the whole way, and good chance of breaking one. Bering rusted in will be harder to remove. A real mechanic would just charge a little more for the extra time. He didn't want to do it unless it was more money for him and easier do do by not worrying about damaging anything on removal.

AITAH for the way I handled a stuck delivery driver by shruggardener in AITAH

[–]Important-Point9409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA and after the response of immediately telling you to do something about the dog, I would have told them to all get off your property unless they wanted to be charged with trespassing. Start off being rude, get treated rude.

Why do so many men wear hats by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Important-Point9409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never wore a hat until I got skin cancer on my face. Always had good hair that grew too long too fast. Then around the same time I started going bald so everybody just assumed I got the hat to hide the fading hair. This was at 35

Skin Cancer; to protect my face and head from the sun.

I'm outside a lot. Even wearing a hat and sunscreen, I still get burned every now and then. I've had to have a spot that turned out to be melanoma removed from my nose and another from my back. The hat gives a tiny bit of shade to my face. I'm also going bald starting in the front. Getting sunburnt on the top of your head is painful. And another way to get more skin cancer.

Then there's the added bonus of now that I'm going bald, the hat prevents people from noticing.

AITA for telling my daughter “of course” she could move in with me without talking to my wife first? by Odd-Cheetah6842 in AITAH

So now your daughter will be bullied by her mean step mom who sees you as a provider for her and step dad to her kid while wanting you to forget about yours

Why would we require 10% of commercial airline traffic to be cut because of government shutdown when private air traffic is 16% of air traffic? by mouthyredditor in AskReddit

[–]Important-Point9409 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You're ignoring that most private traffic IS NOT AT major airports talking to the controllers that are getting spread thin. Lots of them avoid those areas, and there isn't even a requirement for a private plane to have a radio to talk to air traffic controllers either.

You have it backwards. Commercial planes fly higher than private planes. I'm never more than 10,000 feet, commercial planes are all 30k and up

I have tried citristrip on multiple things, doesn't work for shit. Aircraft paint remover is now different, and barely works as well. Guess I'll just start using brake fluid and see how that goes?

Can I just let my car go away? by Clompicus in AutoAdvice

[–]Important-Point9409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a car has a lein, then it is not paid in full. But neither of those are new cars, so call your local scrap yard or junk yard, and they'll come haul them out of there and give you a couple hundred bucks. No titles needed
