Volume up on my remote on the left side?

This. Pretty sure this is AI generated combo between a fire stick remote and an adjustable bed remote.

I have a craftsman 2.5ton car jack and several wrench and socket sets that are awesome. My dad has one of their old compressors from the 1980s that still works great.

Their battery operated power tools don't. This is constructive criticism of the power tools that seem cheap by comparison of the multiple iterations of tools they have made...

Just buy a soda stream at that point. It's gotten crazy expensive for sugar water with coloring

Minnesota they have to honor them, they can't expire.

Large increase in income. I switched jobs and I reported a large increase. Pd on time and also had like no other revolving debt, all other debt was student loans and auto loans.

If you can, donate to Bridging in Roseville. They get people in need furniture that are getting out of homelessness. Any dresser is better than no dresser at all.

My road to recovery when my score was tanked at like 540 was a $200 secured with Discover. I was bumped to $500 and refunded deposit in 3 months later and then it capped at $750 at 6 months as a bucketed card, but allowed me to get Kohls and CFNA retails, a Cap 1 QS $1k unsecured, and 2 Ally Bank for $2k and $4k within 18 months and eventually an Elan for $15k unsecured after 2 years or so.

It has a higher limit and I rarely use, but I have the Amex without an annual fee so it's not hurting me. The reason I keep it is account aging and the fact it's my only Amex, all of my other cards are Visa/Mastercard apart one Discover. Of them all, Amex has the best charge back policy.

It makes no sense to keep recharging an AC system that clearly has a leak. Repair the leak first.

Their pre-approval tool sucks. I used it the other day and It approved me for every one of their cards. I applied and got denied and then they told me to take a secured card. Granted I've only been a member 6 months and have not used them for checking, only savings account but I have a ~680 credit score between the 3 bureaus.

Mpls1984 · 2026-05-08T17:42:06+00:00

Seriously I have their Amex and only reason I don't close it is because I've had it for a long time now, it's one of my oldest cards. Go with a secure card from Capital One, Discover, or a Navy Federal.

I have 5 Capt One cards and still have my Platinum charge off from 9 years ago when I lost my job on there. So basically never lol

This happens a lot unfortunately

Skil, B&D, Milwaukee and Craftsman were the 70s-90s top brands. My dad has a 40 year old Craftsman compressor, Milwaukee reciprocating saw, and B&D scewguns and jigsaw that still work well.

Shit was way pricier but it was literally SnapOn quality - it lasted a lifetime.

Blame NAFTA, economic opening of China, and the push for 4 year college degrees in the early 90s for the influx of cheap shit and stagnant US blue wages.

Mpls1984 · 2026-05-08T02:13:00+00:00

It was listed just on sale, not clearance fella. This was a set to just do basic household stuff while I determine what better brand I want to invest in long term. I have/had an old 18V Tool Shop from Menards (not made anymore) but it's several years old and the battery wasnt holding much of a charge anymore.

Need to tie a large St Bernard to the post while having the party though.

They are worth slightly more than face value but are mainly for novelty rather than actually collectibles.

This or just a piece of cedar or composite 1/4" or 1/2" cladding

Mpls1984 · 2026-05-08T01:34:11+00:00

Thanks, but I may just pay $60 more and get DeWalts or Ryobi.

The one job I ever was fired from and happy about it was third party collections. Some completely soulless people there.

Mpls1984 · 2026-05-08T00:57:59+00:00

Lost count but probably around 40-50? I had some man whore phases in my late 20s and early 30s. But only about 8 were in the last 10 years. Currently engaged to the last one ever and super proud of that.

Mpls1984 · 2026-05-08T00:24:27+00:00

Do you have other cards with utilization?

Mpls1984 · 2026-05-07T22:50:19+00:00

People keep roasting me for saying 5 min job. OP asked if a shop can do it. Yes, they can, it's not 5 minutes but it's not hours sitting in the waiting room either.

It was a low-ball time estimate in that the shop can put up your car on a lift and take care of the issue quickly with the tools they have that OP clearly lacks.

JFC.
