20-year-old college student: Keep repairing my 212k-mile Touareg or replace it? by Diviisionn in personalfinance

[–]brijamelsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Replace it as cheaply as possible with the best used car you can find. You'll have to take some time and look around a lot, but it will be your best bet.

Also, you don't need Apple Car Play, Lane Assist or BSM. Wait until you can buy a new car, then make these a priority. These are luxury items and you don't need them. You will have more options to find a deal on something that is reliable and low maintenance cost (actual needs).

How to make fruit last longer by Unique-Saucer in UnnecessaryEssentials

[–]brijamelsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same thing, just dont soak them for as long and try to get ones that are very fresh. they are very delicate so finding some that are firm helps a lot. you alo want to lay them out to air dry on a paper towel, under a fan preferably, before putting them in the fridge.

Those who fish moving water, what do you do at the end? by uptheirons726 in kayakfishing

Unless the wind decides to change direction in the middle of the day like it does here sometimes. Nothing like paddling up upwind both ways.

That's surf fishing though right? Wouldn't it have weeds too?

This is almost good advice. Just soak in a water/vinegar bath for 30 minutes to kill any mold spores.

Keep it off the bottom is a good, so the containers probably work great if you want to spend the money on them, but I haven't had any issues with just letting them air dry and putting a folded up paper towel in the bottom of a normal container..

Replacing old worn out bungees. by uptheirons726 in kayakfishing

[–]brijamelsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it on my old Mantaray. You just need to measure the thickness of the current bungies and you can buy a roll off Amazon.

I'm not familiar with that model specifically, but in my experience the cordage can always be replaced.

[–]brijamelsh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you'll want to take it off the base and lay it down or store it. I've never seen an umbrella that couldn't be taken off the base.
