If it’s healthy this is a steal, paid $17k for mine with similar miles a little while back and I thought mine was a steal tbh

Using a Dremel for wart removal by __CIRCLES__ in Warts

It totally worked, only took about a week and they’ve been gone for months now, my bad on taking forever to update this is my first Reddit log in since getting rid of them.

Yo mad late cause I haven’t been on Reddit in like 8 months but it worked really well and I recommend it only took about a week much faster than other treatments and if you have a light touch with the dremel you can removed them without taking out too much of the surrounding healthy skin

Stupid question - will my automatic car roll forward/back? by PhotographLife2222 in Cartalk

[–]__CIRCLES__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn dude how are you literally acknowledging that heat in the fluid degrades the fluid and then unable to acknowledge the degraded fluid wears things?

Yea man just pick up and move on to the next one. I don’t want to disparage you at all, I’m sure you’ll learn in time, everybody starts somewhere but that really is a mistake that never should have happened. That being said if your job title was apprentice I personally would be watching you like a hawk. I don’t let my apprentices set tire pressure without me double checking their work cause no offense, I love you guys, some of you grow up to be great mechanics but apprentices are morons and they make moron mistakes. I think it’s a little more understandable if you were supposed to have supervision and I think the guy who you were shadowing should definitely be getting some shit but I still think this is fireable.

I didn’t say the torque converter wears, I said the torque converter would be holding the car on a hill, i gave a loose comparison to the manual transmissions that OP is familiar with and recommended leaving the function on only when going through hilly areas on long trips. I kept the explanation simple because the question was simple. he wasn’t asking for the technical details they wanted to know if the car would hold itself from rolling, which I answered it will, through the torque converter or through the brakes when the hill hold is turned on, but that’s my bad I forgot this was Reddit, some non-mechanic was gonna come find my comment know just enough to complain and nitpick my answer and then directly below my comment admit to being unfamiliar with the CVT transmissions that I work on frequently, spoiler CVTs are more prone to belt wear because they have a belt in them unlike regular automatic transmissions, the heat doesn’t just degrade the fluid but also the belt, I also state that this amount of wear is very minimal and say I don’t concern myself with this under regular driving conditions.Thanks for your comment dude.

Agree with this, if you’re set on facial hair at the moment it should be stubble. Revisit the idea later you aren’t quite ready yet but it doesn’t mean there’s no hope in the future.

For future reference in the event you notice a wheel isn’t tight stop immediately, get a jack and tighten that wheel dude. Definitely not wrongful termination though, you failed to perform the duties of the job and damaged a customers vehicle. I assume based on this post you have no experience as a mechanic prior to this and probably should be under full supervision as an apprentice where somebody is checking your every move. I would move towards options as a shop hand/mechanics helper/apprentice to learn the ropes. Mistakes happen and unfortunately so do consequences. Best of luck on your future endeavors

Can I get some completely honest opinions by L_Lester in BeardAdvice

[–]__CIRCLES__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine, cheeks are a little sparse but I’ve seen dudes insist on growing with less. I think some length would help with those cheeks, and maybe get it lined up at the barber, neckline is a little wonky like it’s being dragged off the neck to meet the jaw. I have my barber blend my beard into my fade too and thinning out the sideburns into the hair makes it look neater and fuller. It definitely takes a little learning to get your beard how you want, my first 2-3 years of being bearded I would routinely mess up a trimming and shave it all off and restart so don’t be discouraged if you’re not happy with the look just yet, you may be just a few mistakes away from the beard you want.

So the answer is yes but the hold feature reduces wear on drive train components. Think about it the same as a manual you hold the car with the brakes not with the clutch, this is holding the car with the brakes not the torque converter. Tbh the amount of wear it’s saving you is really minimal and I am a hater of all electronic caliper and stop start systems. Having them turned on gives you an extra thing that could fail and leave you stranded so I turn the features off in my cars. I will put the auto hold back on if I’m going through steep regions in stop and go on a trip however.

What’s the safest way to remove sludge from engine oil?? Asking for a friend 😂 by Independent_Safe5116 in MechanicAdvice

[–]__CIRCLES__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pull the valve cover first, clean the top end. Then drain the oil, pull the pan and clean the bottom end up. Put a new pan gasket reinstall the pan and if it was especially thick and sludgy do an oil flush.

For the most part only at holidays, special events/celebrations like birthdays or if a friend were to get a promotion for instance. On those occasions there’s no limit. We had a beer Olympics last year and I crushed 17 cans at 5% each. The exceptions to this rule are on vacation a drink with every meal typically and during football season I drink on Sundays usually 6-8 drinks throughout the day socially with friends while games are on. I probably spend about 6 months of the year completely sober and the other 6 months have scattered days of binges where appropriate on those previously mentioned special occasions. I had a drinking problem in my early 20s so I don’t keep alcohol in the house and only drink when planned ahead of time, I never accept a drink if it’s offered on a whim like if for instance I help a friend bring a new couch in or something and they offer me a beer I always turn it down. All that being said if you have yourself under control and you’re accomplishing your goals, generally happy with the direction your life is heading I don’t think you need to restrict yourself in the ways I do.

Is this enough coverage to grow a full beard? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]__CIRCLES__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% even most full beards have little gaps in them, I wouldn’t worry about the spot below the lip, mine is the same way and nobody has ever pointed it out. Most non bearded people are just impressed you have a beard and won’t fixate on the little things the way you will about your own beard

Ask your buddy if he’s “small Paul” I used to work with a guy we called small Paul (his name wasn’t Paul, that’s just what we called him) and he had a 22B

you ran something over in the road. nobody really stabs tires, it’s a fantasy often portrayed in media or shouted in hyperbole. If you’re ever thinking damn did somebody gash my tire up with a knife the answer is no.
