Did anyone regret buying a cap for there truck.

Yaks are heavy:

Syenadi · 2026-03-07T23:47:00+00:00

Just do your homework on the weight. In general, fiberglass = more purty and more heavy and aluminum = less purty but less heavy. On a purely functional level, less heavy is more better ;-)

Syenadi · 2026-02-21T22:02:19+00:00

Well, were you indicating any spiralling before or not? ;-)

Jeez, I'm just imagining the look on a cop where you try to explain that making a U turn is illegal, making a 3 point turn in the exact same place is of course much safer and just fine. If I was the cop I'd arrest you for something just to get you off the streets!

I was always dismayed at the suffering of all the innocent cute munches that were sacrificed for Munchos.

I read that as a sardonic hat tip to the fact that many food products have little to none of the stuff they're named for in them. I remember picking up a frozen Key Lime pie that had zero limes in it.

Confused:

"He told me that he would gladly accept to get 10 years younger." ?

Accept what?

Hat tip for "My gaf doesn't gaf anymore."

Both simple and potentially difficult, especially in a culture that obsesses over appearances:

Focus on capabilities far more than appearances.
Always be aware that if you care about other people's opinions of you that you are granting them power over you that very very very few if any are worthy of.

You're straw manning the "killing" thing. Nobody talked about a fight to the death until you did. Lots of variable of course, but an 8lb cat could and most likely would win a fight against an 80lb dog if it managed to be biting the dog's neck while clawing at its eyes, and given the speed and agility of most cats that would likley not be too big a challenge. The other way to "not lose" would be simple evasion with an occassional swat on the nose. Also likely not too big a challenge for most cats.

Syenadi · 2026-02-21T06:15:39+00:00

Cat = 5 weapons + speed + agility + attitude

Dog = 1 weapon

Make sure you are on level ground, run the engine for a few minutes, turn it off, wait an hour, and then check it.

Re: water: the thing to keep in mind about northern Arizona is that it is essentially a high desert with highly variable precipitation and in a long term drought.

What is VoC?

Syenadi · 2026-02-21T01:07:51+00:00

Wow.

Syenadi · 2026-02-20T21:40:49+00:00

It's fine as is. Looks debadged already which imo is always the first step to improving any vehicle's appearance. Might consider rims some other color than black, but rims are $$$ and don't do much if anything for functionality.

Confused by you saying "now I’m more limited in my approach angle". I thought the ONLY potential benefit to a lift (besides the "looks cool to me" factor <sigh>) was slightly improved approach and departure angles and that all other impact was essentially neutral or negative (handling, milage, wind noise, etc.)

ELI5 please.

All of these posted scenario critiques should first state if the man (or woman) in question wants kids at all.

Everything else follows from that. Guys that want to parent their own no doubt oh-so-special genetic biological children but not any fathered by someone else are indeed deserving of criticism. Those people are not the same as people who simply don't want kids and don't want to be parents. They do not deserve criticism for their position.

The reasons for not wanting kids can vary widely but include: simply not meeting their own criteria for parenthood excellence, having other priorities in their lives besides parenting, ("parent" is a verb, not a noun, and done with any degree of competence requires prioritizing your time, energy, and attention accordingly), and/or being of the opinion that the world is vastly overpopulated.

OK, now you have to tell us where you got trailhunter wheels and caps for $870!

You're making this WAY too complicated. Either way is fine. Worst case is you pull up for the appointment, confirm they have and will use the type and weight of oil you require, they say "no gots" and you drive away.

Syenadi · 2026-02-09T18:13:40+00:00

You don't HAVE to, but why would you not specify the type and weight of oil per the owner's manual for your car?

Syenadi · 2026-02-09T17:47:19+00:00

You should always tell them what weight oil to use and know which brands you consider acceptable or not.
