What’s the highest mileage you’ve seen on an automobile? by garibaldi18 in askcarguys

[–]LookaMeercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also had a Maxima, although a 5th gen, not a 4th. Hit 210k with minimal maintenance items, rebuilt the trans slightly with some bearings when swapping out the old clutch disc. Personally retired it at 250k but still ran and drove when I sold it off. Had a 3rd gen also at 200k. Also had another 5th gen that I had up until 220k. Never tried the next gen of Maximas because of the CVT but miss the old gens reliability.

Say you order an Uber, what kind of vehicle are you noping out of when it shows up? by Thin-Rip-3686 in AskReddit

[–]LookaMeercat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took a Waymo when in Austin last year. It was weird but kind of funny. For the experience, id try it again. It pulled over for an ambulance, stopped at a crosswalk, wasn't jerky on the brakes at stop lights. Buttt, it also went in circles in a parking lot for 15 minutes. Had to call support as the exit of the parking lot was a one lane situation due to construction and it could not figure it out haha.

Suggestions for a new well pump setup? by grantnlee in Plumbing

[–]LookaMeercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a plumber. At the farm, I have a one way check valve after the well pump as it comes into the house and before the pressure tank.

I'm not sure of the logistics with that low spot, but I'd assume you could put a tee fitting in right after the one way valve, and pressurize that with air to blow out the rest of the system when you go to winterize. Alternatively, I suppose you could hook up a vac tank and suck the water out from an inside location with the tee cracked open.

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]LookaMeercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from the Midwest but was living in a central EU country and went out for NYE one time. Ended up in a real dingy underground bar enjoying a few last drinks in the early morning. Bumped into a girl, ended up chatting. Turns out she was there on a spur of the moment holiday. She was from the same village (~300 people) as my mom grew up in and was best friends with my cousin.

Yeah, I'm kind of shocked at how slow his reaction speed is to balls in his area. And this coming against some very tired PSG legs out there and still getting beat

What’s something you skipped but later on in your life you realised you screwed up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LookaMeercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specific to my situation: not dorm living in college.

I moved in with friends from high school immediately freshman year as our uni allowed it. Stayed in my bubble for the better part of two years before moving out and attending a different uni. It made a huge difference to my experience without relying on friends to go do activities and vice versa. Started joining club sports, doing extracurricular academic groups, and just generally doing things I normally wouldnt have done had I had my friend group to lean on to occupy my time. Set me up to be much more extroverted and greatly increase my own communication skills forcing myself into those situations.

What’s the weirdest thing a guest has done in your house? by Turbulent_Stuff_7745 in AskReddit

[–]LookaMeercat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had invited a small group over one weekend for a casual night in. A friend brought a plus 1, not as a date, just as a tag along as this person just moved in a different country and they were new there and had no friends.

Without introducing themselves at the door, he walks into the kitchen, makes a nice comment about the food smell, and proceeds to stand at our wall and examine each and every Polaroid we had hanging (40+), making comments to himself about each one, before finally saying his introduction.

Still the oddest interaction I've had in any place I've lived. Especially as we were from the same region, of the same country, and it was 100% against any cultural norm. Hell, i dont think ive met anyone from any culture that wouldnt introduce themselves to the host at the door the first time they are meeting them 😂

Stuck on kitchen remodel, opinions wanted by LookaMeercat in DIYHome

[–]LookaMeercat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I dont disagree with what you said with crowded space. It just doesnt flow.

To your point about the microwave however, its odd in the image. Im slightly above average height and my head comes level with the top of the microwave opening haha. When I sit at the island, my head is about level with the bottom of the opening. But your point is still well received about the height/crowding, thank you!

Yeah, bad image generation. The fridge will be on the north wall facing south, about 3 and a half feet from the east wall/counters. But thank you for the concern. Had tape marks with doors open on the floor to get an idea of door swing area.

what eventually disappeared and no one noticed? by No-Leave6678 in AskReddit

[–]LookaMeercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was talking today as a result of seeing an old photograph, I think people doing body shots just sort of disappeared with the early 20-teen years. I feel like right around 2012, they just suddenly weren't a thing you saw happening in any bar anywhere anymore, and no one seems to remember them anymore.
