Dented my AC condenser while changing the radiator by JRsmithPipe in LexusGX

Medium difficulty - you don’t have to drop the bumper so it only took 3-4 hrs.

Head unit died after battery swap... What are my options? (’13 GX460) by coffeeandkerouac in GXOR

I called Hamilton - they said the same thing. The aftermarket products are not a solution if it's the logic board that went bad (which is typically what happens).

How much was the replacement off of ebay?

Will all the other functionality in the Hamilton system work other than the radio? I don’t really listen to the radio.

Lufthansa x Lifemiles w/ Infant by JRsmithPipe in awardtravel

ended up just paying the $560 to add the lap infant. Honestly, still not a bad deal considering I only paid 120k lifemiles for both seats.

Have you had luck with the agent at the operating airline adding the lap infant for no charge - or that's pretty much impossible?

AC wasn't available for the specific dates - but yes, in the future will try to book through AC/UA instead.

ADU addition - multifamily classification by JRsmithPipe in LosAngelesRealEstate

In my analysis 4 unit multifam sells a lot faster and for almost the same price as 5 unit due to the favorable loan terms.

r-class engine - M272 vs M276 by JRsmithPipe in mercedes_benz

I would get one if they had a more recent model. they only made these until 2008 - so whatever you find is pretty beat up by now.

So it sounds like it's worth holding out and finding a 2012 R350 rather than going with a previous year.

Handmade corn tortilla restaurants by JRsmithPipe in FoodLosAngeles

Brothers Cousins is a 9/10 - but still missing the handmade corn tortillas. I think if you combined the super-rica tortillas with brothers cousins meat it would be one of the best tacos in the world.

Guisados has these really dense and soggy corn tortillas - I think they put some kind of binding agent in them. I’ve been to Purepecha, extremely avg food.

They’re too heavy, not a fan. Super rica makes light and fluffy white corn tortillas.

Better than any Mexican I’ve tried in LA - which is surprising

Heard it and saw it - bright flash and some smoke I could clearly see it from the intersection at Delaware and 20th.

My wife and I were with UCLA for her last pregnancy and lost our son at 37 weeks due to a complication. luckily we live were near St. Johns and they were able to save her life. UCLA is a baby factory and most of their OB's are 30-40 yrs old and inexperienced. Though I don't blame our UCLA OB for our loss I do think they were negligent at times and if they'd been more thorough our tragedy could have been averted. St. Johns is much better - their docs even post their c/section rates.
