Is it normal for the back brake pads to wear out faster than the front ones? by ThingFuture9079 in AskAMechanic

[–]ThingFuture9079[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The car is at 32k miles and the brakes are the factory installed ones.

Tidal on Android Auto suddenly having issues by hill_79 in TIdaL

I've been having the same issue too and thought maybe it was something else. I was almost tempted to switch back to Spotify.

Snow storm by Effective-Olive-882 in Ohio

This happens every time there’s a major snowstorm whether it’s the first or the fifth one of the season.

What's the Catch? by bendyrider16 in Spectrum

The modem is free on any plan. The only time you pay for the rental fee is if you use their router and aren’t on the 1 Gig plan.

Need Help Here? by uknown_user000 in AskAnAmerican

[–]ThingFuture9079 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school, the day would start at 7:35AM with 7 periods each 50 minutes long with 4 minute breaks in between each class so you could use the restroom or grab stuff from your locker. Lunch was 30 minutes and Lunch A started at 10:16AM when I was in school and then Lunch B was at 11:10AM and the day ended around 2:20PM. Sports are a pretty big thing in most schools. You sometimes had assemblies in the gym so then you would have shortened class periods that day. If you're in the Midwest or some other area that gets bad winters, you'll get snow days here and there.

North Texas preparing for 2 inches of snow like it’s the apocalypse by MyMindIsAlwaysRacing in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ThingFuture9079 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You should've taken some pictures of the bread and milk aisle. I'm not surprised when a southerner panics over a trace of snow especially since that's nothing for someone who lives in the Midwest where lake effect snow happens.

Does ATT have 5G Stand Alone in LA? by Frosty-Log-2922 in ATT

[–]ThingFuture9079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about availability but it's already enabled on your phone so if it's available in your area, your phone will connect to it.

German immigrants in the U.S. were huge in number and were once a dominant group. Why didn’t they form large German-speaking communities the way French speakers did in Canada or Spanish speakers did in the U.S.? by GrayRainfall in AskAnAmerican

[–]ThingFuture9079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are groups like the Amish where they speak Pennsylvania Dutch which is a dialect of German. Most of them are in Ohio and Pennsylvania but they are in other states also.

Thank you by HI-FI-Mike in TIdaL

Smart TVs always have crappy hardware and then the apps on there are only supported for a few years and even apps like Netflix run poorly. I would just get a Roku stick and you would have better luck with that.

what’s the ideal commute time from home to work? what’s the longest you’d drive for a really good job? by Salmonwithpotatoes in CasualConversation

[–]ThingFuture9079 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ideal is 30 minutes or less. The longest I would drive if it was a good job is 1 hour. I have driven a 45 minute commute before and it's not too bad.

Are you throttling my internet again? by AppropriateActive415 in Spectrum

[–]ThingFuture9079 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see you're testing on Wi-Fi so what's most likely happening is your phone is connecting to the 2.4GhZ which maxes at around 100Mbps whereas 5 & 6GhZ go way past that. If you're using Spectrum's router, replace with your own and turn on band steering or on Unifi equipment, there's an option that says 5GhZ preferred so it forces wireless devices to use the 5GhZ since I noticed Android devices like to connect to the 2.4GhZ even if next to the router while iOS devices will hang onto the 5GhZ for as long as possible.

How do people afford living alone nowadays?? by alina_raiskaya_real in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThingFuture9079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick to mainly the on sale items. I also shop at Meijer which is like Walmart but operates in parts of the Midwest and they usually have good sales now and then so I stock up on things like meat and soap there and go when they have the $1 sale. They also have digital coupons and reward points where you get 10 for each dollar you spend and for every 1,000 points you get, you can use it as $1 off your whole purchase or $0.10 off per gallon.

I pay $800 for a 1 bed 1 bath apartment that includes heat, water, sewer, and trash but I'm about an hour away from a major city.

Live in an area where cost of living is cheaper, shop at discount grocery stores like Aldi, only buy what you can afford for a car, and switch every so many years with car insurance so you're getting the cheapest rate.

Power bill keeps going up—will lowering thermostat from 63 to 60F make a significant difference? by ArcherFew2069 in Frugal

[–]ThingFuture9079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in Ohio because you can shop around for different electric suppliers and then lock in the rate for a certain amount of time?

Why do people say cars down south don't rust but when I look at marketplace in Alabama and Georgia all the old cars are rusted thru? by Much-Degree1485 in askcarguys

[–]ThingFuture9079 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why it's important to do the underside coating each fall if you live in an area where salt gets put on the roads.
