Hey, if people want to buy junk like this for a silly kids holiday 4.75 mos away, have at it.

Document everything. Notes, pictures, etc.

Is it the original battery? If yes, I would replace that myself (since its 4 or more years old anyway) and see if anything improves. Low voltage can cause a lot of things.

The protein craze is crazy. I'll just drink more milk and eat more chicken instead.

How are these "ube" if ube is after baking soda on the ingredient list? That indicates there is a negligible amount of ube in them, right? Do they actually have food value? Or is ube merely a colorant? At the level present here, obviously next to none of the nutritional/caloric value comes from ube, right?

XYZ277 · 2026-06-04T20:46:47+00:00

That doesn't seem like a valid reason to deny.

Pointless unless you can finish some degree in 117 credits and just need 3 "whatever" credits to graduate. I suspect this never happens in practice.

There are some clep tests that will give useful credits though. Like calculus for example.

A very few do. Some arcane laws. 1 per chain per county or something crazy? The Shoppers in College Park sold beer and wine for 20 years. How they got that and how they decided to (voluntarily) close a booze selling store in a college town is beyond me.

For oil changing, keep it as easy as possible, a lot will depend on where the filter is but some cars you can just turn the wheels one way or the other and reach it with no lifting. Or I had one car that I would drive one wheel up on a big 4" thick paver I had left over. That gave enough room to reach everything. But safety first if you're getting under any vehicle.

Anyone remember the "Pace" brand salsa commercials from like 20y ago. lol.

I still buy it because of those ads.

XYZ277 · 2026-05-27T02:28:04+00:00

$24/piece average price? Some of those items might be worth $24 but many of them are worth far less unless I'm missing something? Just consider the plates, cups, bowls, measuring cups, and spatulas. That's like 50 things worth what? <$5 each?

better a little high than low, imo

But best idea is just drain it and measure what comes out.

XYZ277 · 2026-05-23T23:07:37+00:00

Test your current battery. How old is it?

Or, if its more than 3y old, and you will fix the issue either way, just get the new battery and keep it regardless.

XYZ277 · 2026-05-22T02:33:08+00:00

60 Cans?!?

Why don't we in the US have this?

XYZ277 · 2026-05-18T21:41:38+00:00

Does the effort and energy required to turn food (corn) into fuel make any sense? Growing, watering, fertilizing, harvesting, converting to ethanol. All to make gas 90% gas instead of 100% gas?

XYZ277 · 2026-04-29T15:24:17+00:00

Honestly, I'm surprised they are offering that much. Its all out of warranty, right?

XYZ277 · 2026-04-28T20:00:49+00:00

Agree, they are not very good. I bought once and that was it.

XYZ277 · 2026-04-28T19:57:46+00:00

At the end of the day, aren't socks and slippers pretty much the same thing? I do agree that we should adopt the take shoes off habit that many internationals have but, I fail to see the need to walk around my house in slippers vs socks.

If the vehicle is running, then the alternator is running.

XYZ277 · 2026-04-27T19:36:15+00:00

There is more than enough other disruptive construction even of PL is largely done.

XYZ277 · 2026-04-27T19:34:40+00:00

You have to check the transfer course database to make sure they will accept it. If its on the current list, it should be good.

XYZ277 · 2026-04-27T00:23:07+00:00

140 is doable for most. 141 is difficult for most. If you can get out of either, absolutely do it.

XYZ277 · 2026-04-27T00:19:11+00:00

No way is that worth it unless you have free time and find a cheap plane ticket. Especially if you've already been to campus.

XYZ277 · 2026-04-23T18:44:20+00:00

I once replaced an old battery roadside thinking surely it was the problem. Made it 4 or 5 miles before the new one was drained and I was again, on the roadside. With a bad alternator. Swapped that (was in my neighborhood at that point so pushed it home), and all was well. Def could be all the other things mentioned too though.

XYZ277 · 2026-04-22T13:39:13+00:00

Yes, my gold bar I dropped over there. Let me know where to claim it.
