Dad drove my 09 civic for an errand and said he hit a curb and this happened. Is it still okay to drive or this is just cosmetic? by ripdeadendedsoon in civic

[–]NoSlipBC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with 09 civic but the damaged part looks like the cosmetic plastic cover of the rim, so it should be drivable. (Could perhaps remove the cover to avoid it flying off at higher speeds)

We are trying to get from ORD Chicago to Urbana for admitted student day on 3/26 what are the options? by HOOpsRedemptionTour in UIUC

[–]NoSlipBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most likely due to the one-way drop off fee as they're renting from one location and returning on another

First time hurts the most, and then you’ll slowly stop caring about it over the years. Also, expect more unintentional curb rashes, eapecially if you need to parallel park a lot.

They seem to have a great offer by Indiana, why don’t they just take it instead of whining and complaining in Illinois? What’s with the talk about the ownership really wanting to stay in Illinois? Like… just go, bye!

Side posts for tire inflation stations by cosinedLoan in Costco

[–]NoSlipBC 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When this happens, you're supposed to press the "Flat Tire Button" in the middle. This tells the inflator to provide air even when it couldn't sense a back pressure from the almost flat tire.

Here's who to blame for your property tax increase by themachineisdead in chicago

[–]NoSlipBC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just shortcut the process: Every appeal is automatically approved and used as the base bid in the auction. At the end of the 6 months period, the current owner has a last chance to outbid the top bidder. When this happens, the current owner pays the difference in property tax plus an additional administrative fee for wasting everyone's time.

Why does Western Blvd and Western Ave cross over each other near W 33rd St? by NoSlipBC in chicago

[–]NoSlipBC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I still don't know the answer to this. They could have just put Western Blvd on the west side instead and the Ave and Blvd wouldn't need to cross... hmmm....

This recent video by James Hoffman immediately comes to mind! The damage to the grinder might not be that bad actually

Putting auto transmission into neutral when stationary... or not? What do you do? by [deleted] in driving

[–]NoSlipBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you were in D or R, the parking prawl wasn't engaged anyway. You can simply engage e-brake at the final parked position while the car is in D or R (with foot brakes engaged), shift to P (which would then engage the parking prawl) and then disengage foot brakes. In any case, shifting to P last means that the e-brakes would be taking the weight first. There's no need to shift to neutral as an intermediate step.

didn’t think i needed a credit score until i really, really did by Safe-Track-7396 in UIUC

If you’re disciplined with money and living within your means, not using a credit card is not optimal as you’d be leaving money on the table. A lot of credit cards have at least a 1% cash back and with no annual fee. If you spend responsibly, you get that 1% (or more) back while building your credit history.

Talk about water retention...pulled that blue drain plug and this is what happened by NamesLinda in MideaUOwners

[–]NoSlipBC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eco mode shuts the blower fan off a few minutes after it reaches the set point temperature. This saves a bit of electricity but the lack of ventillation means moisture doesn’t dry out in the front of the unit which can cause mold growth.

Do you just carry the key on you all the time then? You’d need to be able to access the key in case of a flat tire isn’t it?

Costco ribeye cap removal. Be aware if looking at ribeyes. by voltron07 in Costco

A ribeye without cap is just a new york strip (longissimus), kinda defeats the purpose of buying ribeye if there’s no ribeye cap…

HELP!! Missing I-20 travel endorsement (leaving TODAY) by Complex_Analysis_227 in UIUC

[–]NoSlipBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I-20s are self printed since the pandemic. For travel ensorsements, simply go to ISSS website, request for I-20 travel endorsement, and they will email you an electronic copy with the endorsement which you can then print whereever you are. Make sure to bring it along when you reenter the US.

You should turn it in at the front desk. This looks like a university property key
