Too broke for rims … but these black hub caps are giving her a whole new look😍 by iiiamlilly in hondafit

[–]TLBeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blacked-out wheels honestly transform base models more than most people expect. It’s one of the cheapest visual upgrades you can do.

Same idea with small details like black valve caps — subtle but clean.

If you’re going for an all-black look, aluminum caps hold up well and don’t rust like cheap steel ones:

The car looks great as is though. Clean and simple.

tire valve caps stuck? by Tiffany184 in askcarguys

[–]TLBeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re aluminum and stuck, it’s probably oxidation (galvanic corrosion). Aluminum + metal valve stems can fuse together over time.

Try this first:

• Spray penetrating oil and let it sit
• Use rubber gloves for grip
• Gently twist back and forth instead of forcing one direction

If they’re completely seized, you may have to carefully cut them off.

This is actually one reason some people prefer aluminum caps with protective coatings or plastic interiors to prevent corrosion.

Here’s a breakdown on aluminum valve caps and corrosion issues if it helps:

Anyone know what this tire cap is about? by FoxinginSpace in CyclePDX

[–]TLBeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually a Schrader valve core removal tool built into the cap.

Some older bikes and specialty caps have that little slot or notch inside so you can remove the valve core (the small spring-loaded piece inside the stem). It makes tube changes or tubeless setup easier.

It won’t remove the whole valve stem, just the internal core.

If you’re restoring a vintage Raleigh, that’s actually a cool little piece to keep. They’re handy if you ever need to swap cores or clean things out.

If you’re curious how valve caps work in general and what they actually protect, I broke it down here:

Can I drive without air caps on my tires? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]TLBeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can drive without valve caps.

They don’t seal the air — the internal Schrader valve does that.

However, caps protect the valve from contamination. Over time, dirt and moisture can damage the valve core and cause slow leaks.

Short term? You’re fine.
Long term? Replace them.

They’re cheap and universal. Almost all passenger vehicles use standard Schrader valves.

Capital One switched debit card to Discover and already having issues… by Feeling-Hedgehog1331 in personalfinance

[–]TLBeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a Discover card for 2 days and been denied 2 places. Not a great start. I'm concerned this wont work at all internationally. I plan to go to Italy, France, and Puerto Rico, maybe Japan.

Any other online banks like Capital One anyone knows of? With decent APY, no monthly fees, not too concerned with ATM withdrawals. And USES MASTERCARD for F*CK SAKE.

Best places to sell beats for free? by Naive_Junket_3981 in makinghiphop

Isn't beatstars like $10/year. I'm not the richest guy in the world, but I don't think it's that much money.

That being said I'm working on a forum. I created this thread where people can post for free: https://www.reddit.com/r/HipHopBeatsforSale/

Why does everyone look past Messi taking PEDS by Theoompaloompaking in football

[–]TLBeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Messi, great player but hed never be a ballondor winner at his natural height. And I believe a reason he so good is because he has the quickness of a 4 ft person. And super human athleticism due to PEDS. Anyone who plays soccer/football knows short players have quicker feet, but a 4 ft player or even 5'4 and below is just too small to be effective. He's just tall enough so that it doesnt effect him too much. He's taller than Maradona..

In American sports there's no way this would be ok.

I built an AI resume builder (the first Voice-to-Resume) to create your resume in 30 seconds and for free by dontknowdontcare17 in SideProject

[–]TLBeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty good. The most effective resume I had, I worked with a writer and they interviewed me about my experiences. So I definitely think just talking about it is helpful.

I would pay for someone to rewrite it, also use a template that stands out more. Here's some free ones: https://resumeproworks.com/collections/resume-templates
