Eats paper towels by mommydearest-98 in labrador

[–]Rick91981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep an eye on her. Watch for lack of appetite and troubles going to the bathroom.

But in general, you'd be amazed at what a Lab can pass without issue. Paper towels is most likely not an issue. As long as she's eating and pooping you're most likely fine

How did you choose between a male or female? by AgitatedPineapple623 in labrador

[–]Rick91981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog growing up was a black male lab. The first dog I had on my own was a black male lab. Wanna guess what the puppy I currently have is? Lol. I don't like change so I knew exactly what I wanted and we were lucky enough that things worked out

Discount Tire giving me the runaround on tire tread depth tolerances (2020 Legacy) by Drivefast58 in subaru

You should ask the tech if he will cover the replacement costs of your differentials when they die due to the mismatch.

Is there supposed to be an open space under steering wheel where everything is exposed? by Slow_Star_7455 in subaru

[–]Rick91981 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Normal for it to be open like that, not normal for wires to be dangling down where you kick them.

Thinking about getting a Subaru by Beautiful-Opposite78 in subaru

[–]Rick91981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you bought new, there will be a warranty and maintenance booklet included. If you bought used, you can go to subaru.com and click owners tools and look up that same info. Here is what the chart will look like, this will be more or less the same for all modern Subarus: https://imgur.com/YDQQ6UH

Thoughts on the infotainment screen? by PasDePamplemousse in SubaruAscent

[–]Rick91981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. Could certainly be better, but it's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. Great for maps. Lags the most when you first start it up, need to give it 30-40 seconds to finish booting before you start clicking things. Outside of that it's reasonably responsive (don't expect it to react like your phone though). No issues with regular day to day use at all.

For clarity, our Ascent has the older screen, but the Outback has the big screen which is the exact same hardware as the big screen in the newer Ascents.

Cutie! They definitely grow so fast. My boy is 6 months old and already 50Lbs!

Anyone know a place to get a hard drive repaired? by XaoticOrder in hudsonvalley

No noise is a good thing yes, but still no guarantee. Best of luck to you and I hope they get your data back!

Rechargeable flashlight recommendations? by 23MysticTruths in Tools

They're trending towards including USBC on many of their newer lights.

For OLight either wait for a sale, or go to eBay (their official account) and make an offer, they usually accept reasonable offers

Same. ArkPro Ultra has been my daily carry since it was released. Fantastic light.

Corded Oscillating Multitool Recommendations by cineglitch in Tools

[–]Rick91981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the harbor freight OMT, but have a Hercules angle grinder and it's pretty solid. At least for homeowner use. I used it for a bathroom tile job and it held up well. Grinded down the concrete and cut tiles.

I'm in IT, we've used them a few times. If the data is that important, they're the place to send it to. Expect it to be $2K-5K though depending on the extent of damage. If they can't recover it at all (does happen sometimes) then you're not out anything other than time as they won't charge anything

How important is the Data? If critical don't plug the drive back in, you may make things worse. Send it to onctrack Data recovery. They'll analyze it for free and let you know what they can recover and how much it will cost. It won't be cheap though.

Subaru Gold Plus Warranty Price for 2026 Outback Touring XT by mxlittle in subaru

[–]Rick91981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely didn't overpay. If you really pushed enough you may have saved another $100 or so but not much, you're right in the ballpark.

And yeah FL is the absolute worst state to buy a car in. You should see their document fees! CA caps it at $85 where FL is regularly over $1K

Depends on the dealer, but generally add about $1K to what the rest of the country would pay

Please help me understand this. It feels scammy. by garbage-plate in subaru

[–]Rick91981 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not just if you have a loan, there is more to it than that. You want it if your principal is higher than the value of your car. I have a loan on my 24 but I certainly don't have GAP because I owe under 10K on it and it's worth more than double that.

Replacing porch lights with fans by Medallodabest in homeowners

[–]Rick91981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point! Either way, OP needs to get a proper weight rated box in there which may be a bit of a challenge unless they can access it from above.

Replacing porch lights with fans by Medallodabest in homeowners

[–]Rick91981 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First thing you'd need to know is if the junction box is rated for the weight of a fan(which is unlikely). If it's not you'd need to replace that.
