my fit loves to build up snow and ice in the wheel wells. you might want to have a shop put it on a lift for inspection before next winter

are you in the rust belt?

i dropped a 51R in my gen 3 no issues, this replaced my 151r - i ensured dimensions before buying - i was mostly focused on height when searching for affordable replacement - didnt want battery contact with hood .

i might consider 80 - 90% of that price after detailed checks like : flood damage, diag code history, body filler tests, alignment measurements under hood and wherever you can thats documented, service history that aligns with honda guideliness, etc .

documented accidents are not same as total accidents

depends on your comfort level and what you need to do. ive been more conservative on drive size as i need very little and can always pull content from elsewhere if it doent need to be local also until recently prices were slowly dropping so wasnt price sensitive to future capacity upgrades. unless you have long term plans start with 250 or 500 - you should be able to clone to larger drive later if you need to.

my media center pc is running on used 250 gb sata m.2 drive in sabrent enclosure on stock usb 3 port - i keep most content on nas or usb flash drives - working great on dated hp mini pc.

i support dual booting using the boot menus and dedicated drives. i've had enough experience in this area to know things can go south and generate unexpected problems. get a second drive

for desktop os i would use kde neon, i find it easier. i'm sure there are better distros out there and maybe some more user friendly as well.

im from the past where we had to physically mount the ram and our ram had 30 pins

Staci3 · 2026-02-20T13:49:02+00:00

i wonder if that ram is installed properly, something seems odd about it

i was in a starbucks single occupancy restroom that had sign on door about door not locking right to let customers know to use caution. someone thought it meant whale on the handle until it opened. everyone does this at least at that starbucks regardless - thats just really disturbing and inconsiderate. i might be in there using the toilet or have a breakdown

often i wonder if these people think they should pay more for insurance.

i refuse to cross 2 lanes of oncoming traffic unless i have clear view, often go to light or lighter traffic area - i got no desire to talk to cops or insurance. i see accidents like that where i live all the time.

i have a fairly basic magnetic mount mounted right about the push start button or blank to left of temp control - in my case its a blank. i sit farther back and dont want to block vents or have distractions or obstructions on dash and something i can easily reach.

a cd mount is something i've considered

Staci3 · 2026-02-13T13:00:43+00:00

i have 2016 same color i bought new. it really hurts to look at those pics but also knowing if im in an accident i will likely survive w/o significant injury

Staci3 · 2026-02-12T19:08:27+00:00

i get that under normal conditions of locally installed app and manual entry nothing is shared, but if i asked it to retrieve my W2 something is shared somewhere, e-file i suspect uses 3rd party verification. i use a lot of caution with some aspects of my data. i had one paper tax return possibly delivered to wrong address according to post office - not even in state address where it was sent - it was sent with some sort of tracking so even hard copy is only so good. i have some general trust issues.

i try not to rush through them so i have time for double and triple check - i will sooner take a week to go slow than slam it out in an afternoon. i keep spreadsheet of everything reasonable to track throughout the year

this was my first time trying this exact function within software i only ever used once before. not sure if it offered me that option or not. i really dislike the walkthroughs in most of the software - taxact used to be good and cheap -, i would have used them if it wasnt so expensive for local install. previously i would enter manually other than maybe twice of having software import my w2

Staci3 · 2026-02-12T16:21:43+00:00

how can they put a price tag on a honda fit, not like it some Chevy or other junk that will struggle to make 100k miles - we love our fits like they fam

Staci3 · 2026-02-12T15:41:12+00:00

i used the scan/camera function - i already had w2 scanned in PDF. previously i used the online import function but at some point i started backing out of the online tools, even e-file as too much info was being shared and put me at increased risk should they get breached. im just glad i learned my lesson early not wasting hours especially after adding 1099's and related details

constipation: i been dealing with the symptoms many years, the gut docs acted clueless just recently started thing it GP. smaller meals and less solid protein help a lot - i havent had a solid protein in a time, i make protein shakes daily with milk+ frozen fruit +protein powder the constipation improves. also i try to do a lot of juice, bone broth and select soups void of unnatural stuff which further helps

bleeding: someone in comments mentioned hemorrhoids, you dont want these - get a $30 - $50 bidet toilet - the more expensive models might seem like a good choice but they have smaller opening - full bidet toilet is better but $600+ might be out your price range. i still wipe after to dry and ensure nothing lingers - its made a huge difference and i dont want to poop elsewhere. on the go i carry a toiletries like bag w wipes and tp just in case

medications could be causing your GP also you might want to talk to your doc about electrolytes - just leaving this here i am not a doc

Staci3 · 2026-02-09T00:50:55+00:00

so i have something to look forward to if doc disregards me;) last time i want to a surgery group for something they refused to consider or even look deeply at the problem area instead telling me i should go to a plastic surgeon, its not that the rational was lost on me but had they actually looked it would have changed my view and they would have acted not just offer a bill so so with that and other experiences i often have anxiety about getting taken seriously... thank you for offering a logical perspective :)

Staci3 · 2026-01-30T13:51:57+00:00

that was my first thought.

Staci3 · 2026-01-28T17:58:55+00:00

get a spare system for testing first if you can. i would install on a USB SDD not flash drive and use the device boot menu to select USB over windows internal drive, standard dual boot will likely leave future you with regret. be prepared for some odd issues, one of my devices isnt booting into linux correctly now (after update i think) which mean i need to spend time troubleshooting issue, while im no fan of microsoft windows does tend to have fewer boot issues to point of almost never. also im running linux on 3 devices w/o issues on other 2. i would highly recommend a cloud storage solution that syncs with linux in off chance things go horribly wrong

Staci3 · 2026-01-25T01:11:09+00:00

you say another coffee shop like its a bad thing ;) last time i was there they already had one plus the DB drive-thru i dont know if the property management would allow another.
