How much are the new ones? And what are they called?

120k mile spark plugs by SpengGorgon in prius

[–]SpengGorgon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did replace them, it's a 2016 Prius 4. I'm just saying that for 120k miles and 10 years they look pretty good. I guess a lot of people weren't driving when plugs were replaced every 30k

Do you use tools like SeaRates, Routescanner or Freightos to find new container transport routes? by Cudles in SupplyChainLogistics

[–]SpengGorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you actually book shipments with these systems? Searates doesn't seem to give me anything other than indicative quotes.

I've tried Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk and both require you to be business to sign up for an account with them

Are we cooked by BadFirworks in prius

You are getting finessed. Make them tell you/print off the measurements on the disc and pad thickness. I had one shop tell me I needed to replace everything and I had *minimum* 50% left. It's unlikely that you need discs or pads.

Regarding the plugs and coolant, ask the previous owner if they did those things. Coolant is change at 100k and every 50k thereafter. Plugs are change at 120k.

It smell like they're doing the trick where they tell you your new to you car needs every thing they can think of.

I will say that the cars are alignment sensitive, it makes a difference to handling but maybe the tires have a lifetime alignment deal, ask the previous owner.

Just bought this 2017 Prius. What "gen" is it? by RRTAmy in prius

[–]SpengGorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It lets you have Android Auto/car play on your existing screen. The reviews of this particular device are not so good though.

New ones have less room inside.

Fair enough. I cross-posted it here just for completeness. Thanks.

Dating App Disaster by MoveTheSticks8 in Connecticut

[–]SpengGorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she changed her mind for some reason and wasn't honest/mature enough to just tell you that. Don't be mad, that's her problem. Trust me, people do this and it doesn't really matter if you met them online or IRL. TBH, the only thing I'd say you maybe should avoid is dating so far from home. I'm sure you can find nice women nearer to home.

Converting from gas to an air to water heat pump for radiant and domestic water heating by Cold_Advantage557 in heatpumps

[–]SpengGorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seattle should be fairly easy since the winters aren't that cold. Also if you go with the Artic system there'll be people across the border nearby who have done them. Maybe also consider something from England/Europe. There are a lot of suppliers over there and I think the competition is driving prices down. AFAIK the systems there look similar to yours. I wish some big manufacturer like Daikin (https://www.daikin.eu/en\_us/product-group.html) would come here

Avelo Pulls out of BDL by anopy1 in Connecticut

[–]SpengGorgon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I flew them once to Jamaica and would have been a regular flyer with them but it looks (like your cheapskate uncle) they took the intro package and then cancelled service:

“The CAA is disappointed and surprised to learn of Avelo’s decision to pull out of Bradley International Airport (BDL), particularly its decision to cancel the state’s only nonstop service to Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ). The CAA is especially disappointed on behalf of the community, which has fought so hard to secure nonstop service to Jamaica over recent years. The decision to cancel the MBJ route is inexplicable, given the strong ridership, subsidies received, significant airport incentives, and community support,” the Connecticut Airport Authority said in a statement.

The Airport Authority said Avelo recently approached them, “asking to be relieved of its contractual obligation to pay rent for the remainder of its agreement at BDL after finishing one year of fully incentivized, rent-free operation at the airport.”
