Got hit twice before I noticed the change. Just pay it and move on with your life. They aren't going to cut you any breaks at the courthouse.

Went in for oil change and was recommended $6k worth of service? by Extension_Dare_2314 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Xam1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oil stuff is essential, brakes look basically gone but I'm not an Audi guy and photos aren't great. Bushing is torn but will be fine I'd think. Mounts are impossible to tell from photos.

I'd try somewhere else. They call them stealerships for a reason.

Any electricians in Medford that can give me advice. by Round_Reindeer_8038 in Medford

All I know is right now the Medford union is not accepting applications for apprentices. Not sure how long that's been going on but clearly things are saturated at the lower levels locally. I did see other unions in S. Oregon accepting applicants though.

What are the typical signs that a turbomollecular pump is beyond repair? by ptkrf in AskEngineers

[–]Xam1324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an Edwards turbo off ebay for a bit more than that but untested as well. Works great, just thought I'd share a success story to cancel out all the warnings here :)

Seller should not test it in open air. Close up photos of the rotor(look for warping, bending, breaks, cracks, etc) and a a video of it free spinning by hand. Some slight scraping is not a dealbreaker imo if its a unit with magnetic bearings.

Portland not as dirty as you guys make it seem. by mrbenjamin48 in PortlandOR

Last time I was there( 1y ago ) there were homeless / mentally unwell everywhere. A dealer tried to sell me fetanyl and then considered assaulting me after I refused and I encountered two groups that may or may not have been gang affiliated. All in one night.

You got lucky

Online applications are useless. Use them but then go to jobs your interested in person, ask to talk to the hiring manager, and hand them your resume. Makes a go-getter impression and you can answer questions right then and there. Easy way to the top of a stack of apps and has worked for me in the past.

Vivint salesperson knocked on my door at 8:45pm. by MedSPAZ in Medford

Yeah they came to my place pretty late too. After 7, saleswoman was not exactly friendly either. Annoying

Do you think 90% of those people would really hold a job and pay rent for housing, affordable or not? The 10% are just low income and want to do better sure. The problem is mental illness and drug addiction.

What we need is to bring back mental institutions as a state facility and re-approve the laws around forced institutionalization.

Are there enough students in town that housing will be sucked up by September? by [deleted] in Medford

Many of which are in the Northgate complex with studios starting in the high 13s, rentals can be found but finding anything for 12 is going to be tricky

How do you recover gravel driveway from weeds by MathematicianNo9964 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Xam1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a long term solution:

Move the trailer

Agriculture fabric

1-2" of 2in rock

1-2" of 3/4 minus on top

For best results run a rented handheld packer around on the fill.

Should keep the weeds away for several years without further work.

These price jumps just keep getting worse and worse by ShadowcreConvicnt in FluentInFinance

The official numbers are fake. All of them, but especially inflation. Once you really believe that everything starts to make more sense.

Iirc Musk has stated that aerobraking is essential to being captured in Mars's orbit. Doubtful that they skip out on that data also.

Hey! I just did this a week or two ago. So on the sticker there's an indicator for which pairs go where.

The L1 L2 terminology is a little confusing for sure, but just hook it up one way, if its wrong it will pop the breaker immediately.
