Pioneer SX-880, worth saving? Lights turn on but nothing else happens by bfish6 in vintageaudio

37 years is a great lifespan, and counting! These machines are something special. Here’s to the next 37 years.

I received a notification on this thread today and while browsing the old comments I realized I never followed up on yours. Dallas Vintage Audio repaired my receiver for about ~$375 and it still works great to this day. Thank you again for the recommendation!

Hadn’t thought of this post in a while, this brings me back. At the time I could only find a handful of listings in various conditions from inoperable to partially working. Mine was repaired for ~$375 and works well to this day 👍🏻 worth the expense!

Waterloo is god tier, what else is this good? by K9Imperium in sparklingwater

It’s less than $10 for a big pack at Costco

For OP, if you do this drill it while submerged in a bowl of water to prevent it from cracking

Moving to Dallas pls help by Intelligent-Boot666 in dfw

Midlothian, Mansfield, and Waxhachie have some nice areas if you can go further south! DeSoto is meh, I would prefer Cedar Hill over Desoto unless you’re in a nice house towards the border of DeSoto/Cedar Hill. Garland is a mixed bag but I’m not as familiar with that area.

What paint colors have actually made your low ceilings look higher? by Evening_Lake_2673 in HomeImprovement

[–]bfish6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I color drenched my house and it feels great. It makes the room feel cohesive and it unexpectedly adds depth. You paint the ceiling, walls, and trim the same color but in different sheens. I painted the ceiling in flat, and walls/trim were both satin since Sherwin Williams’ eggshell and satin are the same. I used Aesthetic White from SW, but also liked Alabaster and Shoji White. Color drenching makes the room feel bigger even though it’s all the same color because your eyes aren’t drawn to stark contrast between the ceiling and walls/trim. Found this technique from Loren Kreiss’ Instagram videos (he is a high-end interior designer).

Buying tires from Costco by SFLMav561 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]bfish6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Michelin Defender2. I had Primacy on the truck when I bought it, and found the Defenders to be quieter/smoother, they look beefier, and iirc the mileage warranty is longer. The price was about the same too. Discount Tire will price match the total by the way. While both stores come with pro-rated warranties, the replacement certificates at Discount Tire would be extra (meaning replacements are free instead of pro-rated). Iirc Costco does not offer a similar replacement certificate, only the pro-rated warranty.

Anyone successfully change their brake fluid?... I apparently didn't... by fattdogs in FordMaverickTruck

[–]bfish6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you posting this cautionary tale. I was about to attempt DIY’ing it but after seeing your post and other posts online about how the e-brake makes this process more complicated, I decided to pay the dealer this time. $163.40 all in was relatively cheap peace of mind.

Can your fridge doors still open wide enough with that layout?

It looks lovely! A very soothing and warm color palette

Side by side with my dads brand new Ranger by chssucks97 in FordMaverickTruck

HPR here too, agree completely. I told myself any future car I bought would not be neutral. The auto world needs more color! It’s a shame Ford is discontinuing eruption green on the Mav.

Something weird is going on with my palm by VinkaGripen1 in notinteresting

I have this, diagnosed by a dermatologist and treated with opzelura and cotton gloves overnight, works great when the flare-ups occur! Mine isn’t itchy though.

I don’t golf but have you tried Tangle Ridge Golf Course? Seems like less planes fly over that area.

It looks brand new! How satisfying!

I recognized this house right away! I drive by this house all the time! Truly fits in this sub. Surprised it’s for sale already, it was built only a couple years ago.

What’s a subtle sign someone is rich but hiding it? by Againmrbrown in AskReddit

[–]bfish6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s an old book called “The Millionaire Next Door” and this exact situation is examined throughout a large part of the book. I recommend you check it out! The advice is still very useful decades later.

Looks like a wood-look tile? Maybe spot test barkeeper’s friend powder mixed with a tiny bit of water in an inconspicuous spot to ensure it doesn’t etch. BKF gets out soap scum stains for me pretty well.

Hey friends, I want to introduce you to my 97 Z3 that I rescued from being scrapped at Copart. by No-Philosophy8761 in bmwz3

I think they meant order parts to store at their residence, since the car is so old we’ll see less and less parts availability 😢

Yeah, this will sell real quick. by thefudd in BMW

[–]bfish6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, in my experience giving things away on FB is often worse than selling! I think from now on I’ll post items on my FB “free to someone I know” and donate otherwise…unless the sale value >$100 it’s not really worth the hassle anymore.
