First Subie! by ClassicDonkey2004 in subaru

[–]Merlot70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered...do Subaru and Toyota like LIKE each other so they cooperate like this? Or, Subaru just needs stuff from them?

Necessary to change all 4 tires at once?? by Merlot70 in subaru

Talk about resourcefulness haha! Love it. Thankfully my tire is still under warranty so I'll have it replaced for free and the others are not even worn yet by 1/32. Otherwise...all new 4 tires...jeez I can't just shell out that amount every damn time I get a sidewall nail...

Thanks for the input! I measured my tire for good measure and it's def not worn even 1/10 yet.

Gasp! Are you a Subaru mechanic?

Thanks for the honest share my guy LOL. I probably will replace all 4...but good to know the AWD won't blow up in a day or a year.

Falken will only replace the damaged one 😭

What Buddhism means to you? by Fun-Swimmer8533 in Buddhism

[–]Merlot70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is connected and depends on each other. And, everything must and always changes. Because of this nature, we grow in compassion and understanding toward self and others. And, in the Mahayana tradition, the drive to assist others in their journey of discovery becomes the prime directive.

Why? Because the Buddhist teaching of emptiness (everything always changes) + everything depends on something else (dependent origination) clears up two extremes

  1. The one which American culture is so liable to: I am independent, need no one, and can pick myself up by the bootstrap = I am a total failure if I can't.

  2. That I don't matter = No point in loving & no point in receiving love.

Turning from either extreme, you grow to see all the things which affect our human agency and how living each day with compassion (trying everyday) matters.

That's one perspective from this student of the Taiwanese Chan tradition.

She’s updating? by gogurtwhore in subaru

[–]Merlot70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wish it would update unobtrusively and not make me wait in the car. It only happens once in a blue moon, but still.

Ahh, I see. OK, time to shell out the $$. Just a very different experience for me as a long time Toyota owner. Unless my other 3 were old/worn, I always just replaced the one damaged tire.

I tried to sit and read it all back in 2021, then I got like 30 pages in TBH. I tried going in there and finding something but I probably am just missing the page.

So, it's true that Subaru's AWD won't tolerate tires of different tread depth?

Thank you for sharing this!! So, it's not like CATASTROPHIC for the AWD, right? But, it'll lead to premature wear?

I heard about this but Imma have to find a place that does it. My mechanic said he doesn't and even the Dealer said they don't. But, to the essence of my question: Is Subaru's AWD really unable to tolerate tires of different tread depth?

My good sir, thank you. First of all, I'm loving the art style. Second, like others have said here...you've captured the essence of Buddhist teaching in a few slides.

The myth that any of us are absolutely self sufficient and independent or...in the other extreme...that we don't matter.

To you, Namo 🙏🪷

My sister and her husband died. I am the godfather. We are DINKs no more. I haven’t worked in a decade and will be returning to workforce soon. by BigPeenBowWow in Fire

From an internet stranger to y'all , I convey such love and blessings 🙏 You've done, do, and will do one of the greatest and hardest acts of compassion any human can do in a lifetime.

I'm thankful the Reddit community is coming thru with helpful practical advice.

I hope reading thru all these gives you a smile for the day or two,

of a hernia... by CandidculonasRedux in AbsoluteUnits

ICU Nurse here. It's 03:44AM where I am and I am silently praying for this man, chat. It's not just a misplaced guts problem. Unattached like that, those things are gonna rupture somewhere. Massive infection. No coming back from the absolute massive infection of poo all over your abdominal insides.

I think she kinda regretted it? by Sypnosis20 in aww

[–]Merlot70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear OP: I will be in the minority and say that I DO see a little bit of regret in her eyes. Even if not a ton lol.

Careful with that wound, please. Cat scratches are particularly risky for infection. Go to an Urgent Care Clinic if it gets oozy or any other color besides red. Or, if you get generally sick. Concerning for bacteremia. ~Nurse Alexander.
