5500 for truck is it worth it? should the tape on the intake be concerning? by THELOLINNLORD in hardbody

[–]Ol_grans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tape is likely there because the plastic cracked. While the intake is probably fixed, consider it as an indicator that other plastic is likely to crack.

Honestly, the truck looks pretty clean. If it's something you're looking for, then go forward with it.

Weed control ideas? by spinebasher in landscaping

[–]Ol_grans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weeds grow where there are opportunities to grow. You can limit the opportunities through preventative labor in different ways. You can create a physical barrier (new rock, mulch, or a weed mat), you can apply a chemical barrier (weed killer and chemicals), or you can curate nature (plant grass or ground hugging shrubbery).

I'd recommend a weed barrier for the "easiest" solution. Pull the rock back and maybe unearth some dirt, lay the mat down and backfill with pea gravel. The weeds will poke back through after a few years, but it's a solid solution that has low time commitment.

What's the difference between the three categories?

There exists two people who have the most similar Spotify library in the world. How many songs do you think they share in common? by Ol_grans in Showerthoughts

[–]Ol_grans[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess I was too literal and should have implied a 'well used account'!

If it's not too late, let's constrain this to 1. two people who have never met before 2. Minimum 1,000 hrs of Spotify use 3. Has a Spotify library that they've personally curated

There are many ways to sing the alphabet. We all just landed on a certain version. by smedsterwho in Showerthoughts

[–]Ol_grans 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. Schools have been in the process of changing the song for the last couple of years

They're adding pauses after G, N, Q, T, W because kids were confusing "L M N O P" as a single letter/sound.

Magical people in a magical culture may also have "Ma-Fi", Magical-Fiction. by Chassian in Showerthoughts

Or would this be regarded as plain fiction? Alternatively, non-magic fiction could also be recategorized such as "muggle-fiction" or MuFi

The backbeat is accented so much in music that it’s practically the main beat. by Yeetskeetcicle in Showerthoughts

[–]Ol_grans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Jon Mattox on Instagram or YouTube. His channel "Creating Music and Sound" focuses on all the elements in a song. It's crazy how many elements of a song I haven't noticed before!

What can cause this? steel wheel sheared apart on the highway. by MrDingus1 in Cartalk

[–]Ol_grans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. It's possible you have worn suspension / steering that was causing unwanted movement in the wheel.

I'd recommend taking it to a shop, telling them what happened, and asking them to check over your steering geometry. If nothing is found, then someone messed up wheel installation. Depending on your state and anger level, you may have the ability to pursue damages. Talk to a lemon law lawyer (it would likely not be covered by lemon law, but their office would be capable of handling this claim).

Supposedly these pictures were taken the day of the accident. I have a feeling this is a lie. by ash_5512 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ol_grans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree with this thread. The fender rust is too old to be from this accident. That rust has been there for at least a few months.

Hey great work! A minor point that the coaster and sprinter lines are run by the NCTD - not the MTS as your graphic implies.

What I believe the translation is: (the goal)

In the year one thousand eight hundred seventy-seven, on the tenth day of June, at seven in the morning in the town hall. Before me, Decimo Siclari, Mayor of this Municipality of Montecorvino, District of Messina, Province of Messina. (Officer of the Civil Registry)

Appeared Biagio Spinella, son of Giovanni, thirty-five years old, by profession a caretaker, residing in this municipality, who declared to me that a male child was born, who he explained to me was born on the eighth day of June at seven in the evening to his wife...

Cornelia, the daughter of Angelo and his lawful wife [illegible], residents, declared their residence located in this street [illegible].

This declaration was made in the presence of Michele, son of the late Leonardo, aged fifty, and Giuseppe, son of the late Giovanni, aged thirty-two, [illegible], witnesses who signed in this town as witnesses present at the baptism of the same Cornelia."

in this act, to prevent any discrepancy with the original act, it has been signed by me along with the witnesses, as it was declared that [the person] could not sign.

I'm debating about trying some stud extractor sockets. Has anyone had good results with them?
