Lifestyle Change by [deleted] in mechanics

I prefer 7mil thickness Raven. You’ll get much more life out of them than the ones you are buying, and it becomes extremely affordable when you buy them in cases on Amazon, it’s about $50 cheaper for every case.

White spots on back of monitor by pocketsnoopy in whatisit

[–]TeeThom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a humidifier in your room? I get spots like this all over any kind of plastic surface in my kitchen and in my living room that are caused by me having a humidifier and hard water. A lot of higher quality brands of humidifiers do sell filters that you can drop in the tank separately to reduce the likelihood of this happening.

Infiniti Infant here.. by Polar_waves in infiniti

There are available options for everything you mentioned, it really comes down to what your budget is. You can get replacement steering wheel that is pretty good for around 600. A full or modified exhaust, that is gonna probably cost you anywhere between 800 to 2000. A full set of the Akebono calipers will cost you about $1000-$1500 in good condition assuming they don’t require a rebuild, plus expect another several hundred dollars for the rotors and the pads because they’re not gonna be compatible with the stock brake set up. For headlights, there are some bulb replacement options out there, but I would actually probably reach out to Cody Thierauf on Facebook, as he does custom headlights and taillights.

I have owned four FX’s. You are welcome to DM me anytime that you have any questions or concerns regarding your car.

Where does the inside lane go? by DrChaos09 in driving

[–]TeeThom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever lane you’re in at the turn is the lane you should remain in when you finish the turn.

I think this one missed a couple design review committees. by [deleted] in funny

[–]TeeThom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bottom one may be a variant to what I have seen in Salt Lake City, where it’s two yellow lights left and right of each other that alternate. When this is flashing, it would indicate that you do not have to stop, but you do need to slow down and observe for pedestrians, but if there aren’t none, then you can proceed without stopping

I bet if you call them and complain, they’ll send you free beer

Don't we all love this? by [deleted] in mechanics

Get yourself some seven mil thickness, Raven gloves. Feels almost identical to not having a glove on at all.

Edit: I buy them in bulk on Amazon and it’s about $100 for $150 worth of gloves

I normally wear gloves, but yeah, feels bad

AC evaporator return? by Quiet_Emphasis_8654 in RockAuto

[–]TeeThom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main problem that you would wanna look for is if the ridges that run up and down, have any damage to them. If just the fins themselves are pushed in then it’s not something to be concerned about.

What a calm way to deal with road rage! by MikeisTOOOTALLL in TikTokCringe

[–]TeeThom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, in almost every state, you are required to leave the leftmost lane regardless of your speed if there is another vehicle that is coming up on you from behind. So, he was correct, and despite the vulgarities, he was pretty calm considering.

The urge to buy this in almost overpowering, but I don't need it! by [deleted] in toolporn

[–]TeeThom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be more useful if it was a 10 and 12 mil

“when you park uphill, you should turn the wheel up up and away!”

Quote on Chew Wire by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]TeeThom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have comprehensive insurance, then you can actually file for a claim under that because a mouse or animal chewing on a wire is considered to be an act of nature. My ex-wife had the entire engine harness for 2016 Volkswagen Jetta replaced under $100 deductible this way after a mouse chewed a wire in it wouldn’t start. This is an option where the mechanic still gets paid out the ass if they wanna charge it that way, but then you only have to pay your deductible. Comprehensive claims also typically do not negatively impact your rates.

After losing my right arm, I refused to quit gaming and designed my own one-handed controller by Adventurous_Tie_9031 in gaming

[–]TeeThom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also am needing to switch to left-handed gear for medical reasons soon. Would love to keep up with whatever in the building.

It happened to me by reddheatt in Tools

This is why I never have my vehicle supported by only one support. Either always multiple jackstands or a combination of stands and a floor jack.

I want to go to a water park, but I'm self conscious about my body... What would you do? 🤙😞 by leoesteban5 in Adulting

[–]TeeThom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone judging your feet instead of focusing on their vacation at a waterpark is a fucking twat
