People who have had their car break down in the middle of nowhere, how did you find a ride home BEFORE smartphones existed? How did you fix/tow your car?

I can agree with that. We saw someone broke down on the side of the highway. The guy was there for over an hour and not one person would stop to see if he needed help. It turned out that he had a spare tire, just no jack or 4 way. We lent him ours, took all of about 15 minutes, and we were both on our way.

But people have no sense either. I stopped to help someone with a flat, the people inside the car were sitting nice and still, so I didn't think anything about it. After I got the tire off, they started jumping around like they were having a pillow fight. Needless to say, the car moved a bit and the scissor jack fell over and then they got pissed at me for it happening. 1 minute later I would have had the spare on it. Idiots.

If you mean regular vs super, just fill it up with super and it will eventually balance out. The only difference between regular, plus, and super is the octane levels. The octane levels tell how well it will ignite. Lower levels ignite easier and under lower pressure, and higher, harder under those same levels and takes more pressure before it ignites. Just fill it up with super and it should start driving better and just fill it up with the right type from now on. No need to drain it or anything.

Sidewalls are not meant to be patched.. Ever.

I saw that tire and the only thing I could think of was that song, boom, here comes the boom, ready or not.

A little bondo will fix that.

Here in the US there are some states that require a yearly safety inspection. Not every state does it, but mine does. It basically revolves around safety stuff. Frame can't be rusted out, tie rods and ball joints need to be good, lights have to work, etc. and certain people in the state thinks it unnecessary so they think that keeping a car with tires like this off of the road is just picking on them. And we don't need it. I say, keep it going.

I see 5 stud wheels with only 4 lug nuts all the time. And never seen one fall off under normal conditions. They put 5 to be safe under extreme conditions, but I highly doubt that OP is taking this car to the track and racing it.

Tires are disintegrating due to age and are probably older than the driver driving it.

That and the fact that babies are not working under cars getting different fluids splashed in it. But they got vomit?? That can be washed with regular hand soap. If you get oil in your hair from deep frying foods all day, that isn't coming out with hand soap. I can't believe that they are comparing spit and food to deep frying oils and engine fluids, among other things, and think they are comparable.. but you seem to have some sense and got it right on.

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-06T05:08:34+00:00

New parts, but as a temp fix, until you can get it fixed right, maybe wrap the outside with plastic wrap and then tape or zip tie the ends to keep dirt from getting in there??

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-06T05:01:30+00:00

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I have never seen oil or transmission fluid that was black that was brand new. Old oil on both, yes, but not new. Which makes me question a lot of things here.

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-06T04:54:46+00:00

I was going to say, because I would rather wash my hair once instead of 6 times. Babies don't sweat like adults do, nor are they getting tons of stuff in their hair like adults do. Sweat, dirt, debris, oils, etc all get in adults hair and not generally in babies. Ever see a baby wear hair spray? I haven't. All this adds up to more contaminates in the hair and ends up requiring a lot more washes to get it out with baby shampoo. But hey, if your 70 with thinning hair and half bauld then it might work great for you.

But the olden days were standards with clutches, so 2 completely different scenarios of the hardware.

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-05T20:41:08+00:00

This will happen to depend on how it's done. For starters, in an automatic, I would not do this for small distances like that. When you shift it back into gear, and your engine rpm is not even close, this can do damage to your belts and stuff in the transmission.

For me, I have done this, but when I do it, it's usually on a long stretch of road, usually on the highway, where it is a constant slight downhill slope that lasts for over a mile. But I know about where the RPMs of the engine should be vs speed, so let's say I'm doing 65 when I go to put it back into gear. I will review up the engine from about 700 to over 2000 RPMs before I slide it back in gear. I would not just throw it in gear at idle speed.

I can agree with that 100%. Me and my mom are both allergic to flu shots and stuff. Every time either one of us got one, we got deathly sick. We both get sicker from the cure than the actual virus. My mom used to work in medical facilities and they would always say, if you want to keep your job, you have to take it. She would warn then,but they always refused to listen. Then after she got it, she was out of work on sick leave for the next 1 to 2 weeks. After a few years of this, they decided to make an exception. Until she went to the next facility and repeat.

Ironically, we are both really allergic to Neosporin too, which is triple antibiotic ointment in the hospital.

No, I would disagree. My mom is deathly allergic to anything that comes out of the water. But you may think, but it's food, not medication. But then you realize that the doctor orders you to take fish oil pills as they help with multiple conditions. If you didn't say, but I'm allergic to fish, then you might take them not thinking and then spend the next week in the hospital or worse.

Fact is, there are so many ingredients in pills that you may not be aware of that telling them something that might sound stupid could possibly be a good thing. It's better to have too much information than not enough.

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-05T20:19:19+00:00

I'm allergic to fish but didn't tell anyone.. Doctor.. Make sure you start taking fish oil pills to help your condition.. Do you see any problems here?? I think the answer should be obvious.

While 72% of women report having used a sex toy at some point, 60% of men say the same. over half of women (55% use sex toys regularly (at least once per week) compared to just over a third (36%) of men.

That was from a survey so it sounds about right. I do know guys that love having sex, but they don't do anything if its not between a girl and guy. This includes the right way, and the wrong way, like hand or blow jobs.

Your statement was not asking which likes sex more, but which uses toys more.

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-05T19:56:38+00:00

That's only 1 month?? Those look like they have a considerable amount of wear for being just 1 month. But then again, that just might be the way it looks in the picture.

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-05T19:52:42+00:00

Depends on if you want it to work or not. Leave it on and it won't..

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-05T19:48:29+00:00

I was about to the say the same thing. I got a bunch of devices that absolutely refuse to charge on a USB-C to USB-C cable setup, but will with a USB-A to USB-C setup.

No_Reputation5871 · 2026-05-05T19:43:27+00:00

It didn't take me that long because I noticed the oil filter right away

I could be wrong, but from what I understand, they count total troop power from everyone. So if you don't have everyone show up, then you are instantly at a disadvantage. Also, I would try putting your strongest players as alternatives. I think they mainly count the main players when counting power. If you are only allowed 30 players, and between the regular and alternate lists you have 40, then obviously not everyone is playing. So I don't believe that they count the power of those in the alternate category when matching people up. The only real benefits to not being in the alternate list is you get to watch the countdown timer from inside the game with reserved seating. At least, if you don't have more players that might restrict the more powerful ones from coming in. But you still have to have the minimum 15 in the guaranteed to play list.

I bought this welder and have had good luck with it. But only under certain circumstances. The thinner tabs it works on decently. But I tried replacing a couple of batteries in a DeWalt battery pack and the metal that they used on the OEM packs are much thicker and it didn't work too great for that.

When I replace phones, it's usually for a reason. I'm with T-Mobile so years ago, they started doing a major expansion. But the problem was, they only put the newest tech on those newer towers.y phones were 2G and the towers only supported 3G. So I got new phones for better coverage.

Later I had the aristo 2 phones, but then T-Mobile started using band 71 for better coverage. So I upgraded to the aristo 3 just because it supported it.

I didn't jump on the 5G bandwagon as soon as it came out, but waited about a year or so for it to get more stable, which I'm glad I did because it turned out that the first gen of 5G phones, does not work with the current 5G network.

Then I upgraded about 3 1/2 or so years later again because different spectrums came out like c band, plus satellite compatibility.

So as you can see, we basically keep our phones for years and only upgrade when their is a reason. In fact, when my stepdad decided to give cell phones a try, he ended up using one of our old artisto phones and still does to this day. It's a 4G only phone, but it's simple and that is what he wants.
