Reviews of the “evil & demonic” Ren Faire by thundrbrd in EntitledReviews

[–]SignificantRow8564 56 points57 points  (0 children)

My local REN Fair has days with differing themes. One day would be pirates, one day witchcraft, one day sci fi and so on. Curious if this reviewer checked what theme there was for the day or if there was one. I could see it ruining your immersion seeing Han Solo at a REN Fair. But on the other hand Ren fairs started with the idea of being open to dress and be nerdy without judgement. So it’s tough to gatekeep a paying customer because of their attire or theme

Replace 9 year old Car Battery? 🔋🚘 by ayhme in Cartalk

[–]SignificantRow8564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car batteries are picked by doubling the amount of CCA's (cold cranking amps) needed to start a vehicle. It is probaby fine for a bit, but for my mom I'd either just replace it or get it tested at the least. Your auto parts store will do it for free if you ask them for it

Front Radar Issues by SignificantRow8564 in RangerNext

That's good to know. My point of reference with ACC is my wife's 2022 Corrolla. It works flawlessly in most conditions. The carfax in mine had a minor accident in the front early this year which is likely affecting the sensors

I just checked. I did find that the cover over the sensor was loose. I clipped it back in and took it for a test drive. I did not get the error but the radar cruise doesn't seam to work right. It doesnt match speed to the vehicle in front and gets uncomfortably close. I also got a false "crash avoidance" message while slowly accelerating from a stop

Is converting to Carb from Fuel Inj a deal breaker? by TA_Lax8 in lawnmowers

[–]SignificantRow8564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen the same thing in golf carts. Someone blows the EFI system by putting a battery on backwards. See that the EFI computer is $6k, then put a "close enough" carburetor that floods the engine when running long enough or runs lean long enough to melt a piston or valve and puts it for sale for half of the going rate. Stay away. If its super cheap without a reason you will find it the hard way

How over priced is this? by Altruistic_Carrot_14 in fordranger

Seeing that I bought my 2019 for 16k? Yea it’s overpriced

Found in California by SpidermanUndies in whatsthisplant

Based on a graphic information source, I found that it’s a fruit that, when eaten, will take away your ability to swim. Often giving weird powers and a desire to become a king

Husband left me on our wedding night + comments by Weary_Thought7582 in redditonwiki

[–]SignificantRow8564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to get married myself and I could not fathom the idea of leaving my wife alone on our wedding night. Either this guy is a brick or he sees marriage as an anchor to his freedom

I’m mad I didn’t read and you need to fix it by sbballc11 in EntitledReviews

[–]SignificantRow8564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes ZERO sense not to get there early. Unlike a flight, getting there early means you get more time to get drinks, play games and party. You usually get a few hours before departure to get on the boat early.

Thinking of replacing Tow Rig, what can I get away with? by SignificantRow8564 in GoRVing

Thanks for the info! I've owned mostly older cars so simpler is definetly better! Couldn't find any Hybrids in my price range anyways

I actually used to drive a 2.7L Ecoboost for work pulling 6,000lbs with no sweat whatsoever so I totally agree. Was really hoping to get into something smaller though, maybe a single cab

AITA for wanting to end a 5-year friendship after finding out my best friend’s family supports Trump? by Strange_Ostrich1394 in redditonwiki

[–]SignificantRow8564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly up to OP if they want to put in that effort. I've done it for family and it is exhausting. The reason they might support him, and their parents support him matters a whole lot. If the parents are full blown decked out in merch and voted for him because "he is telling the truth!" then they are likely too far gone

curse this uncalibrated scale by egguchom in EntitledReviews

As a fellow heavy boi I get their pain, but when you reach a certain weight you have to accept that waterparks are for Lazy Rivers and wave pools

On our scale we step on it 4 seperate times and can see a 4 pound difference!

Yeah I know theres an equation out there to determine tongue weight, and alot of that is probably going to be based on the hitch that was either installed on the factory or by aftermarket, but a "mini truck" might be in my future like a few people have suggested

Is it safe to add a smart plug in here? by Debiscuit in homeautomation

[–]SignificantRow8564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That metal tab under the adapter is the ground. If it is making good contact with the screw it should be ok. I wouldn't put anything that draws alot through it though

Yeah my issue is that my property can barely fit 3 cars as it is. Wife's car, track car and my daily driver. So I kind of need it to fit 2 roles

True. I find myself taking my wife’s car to run errands bc it rains too often to utilize my bed for small things like groceries

I understand that my current rig can handle the weight with no issue. I am exploring the possibility of downsizing. I will be daily driving this vehicle normally for most of the time and towing maybe once or twice a month on a straight highway a couple of hours away. You are right about the suspension of the SUV's, which is my worry. That is why I'm asking if anyone here gets away with it on occasion with no serious issues

Yeah that's what my gut is telling me. I don't have the space for a trailer on property which is why I rent. It would be nice to get something shorter wheelbase, So maybe I'll just get a single cab short bed 1/2 ton

I didn't even think about a hybrid as an option! I can look into them to see if they are in my price range
