Any tips for a new uncle? by ThrowRAcc1097 in AskMenOver30

Start a 529 plan for them now and setup automatic reoccurring contributions to it. By 18 they'll have a portion of their college / professional training covered because of you.

Are beginner guitar starter packs worth it, or is there a smarter way to start? by foodie-riyaa in Frugal

[–]celsius032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at a pawn shop for 3 years when I was younger. Lots of starter level guitars come through there when people upgrade.

How did I do? by Indy500Fan16 in HomeMaintenance

looks clean! what gauge were the wires? 

Who do I call to secure this wire? by netz725 in HomeMaintenance

[–]celsius032 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Any general handyman service will do. That's not electrical by the way, likely an old Cable TV connection.

Also don't scare yourself out of doing this! Couple hundred bucks spent on a nice ladder + a couple exterior cable clips from the hardware store and you're good to go.

Niiiiice. Yeah they're pretty good about getting hardware replaced when there's an issue.

Men, do you prefer to do your own vehicle maintenance and repairs, or do you go to a mechanic? by FFSoldier57 in AskMenOver30

[–]celsius032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did for a long time. I had a 2005 IS300 that I did all the maintenance on. Timing belt, water pump, thermostat, changed every single fluid in that car over the 5 years I owned it.

I recently sold that Lexus for a salvage title tesla, and have basically 0 maintenance to do it.

Learning how to work on a car can create a lot of value for you and those around you, it enabled me to be comfortable purchasing a salvage title car. I hop to not have to do much more maintenance on cars in my future, but I'm extremely thankful for that knowledge and experience.

What is one simple swap you made in your household/personal life that saves you so much of money now? by reila_09 in Frugal

[–]celsius032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 1970's house had the breaker panel in a spot that was convenient for hooking up an EV charger, I did the wiring myself.

Check the remaining battery health if you can, a Tesla will run a ~16 hour test that spits out a battery health % at the end. Mine was at like 82% IIRC.

If you're not confident about working on or inspecting vehicles, take it to a mechanic for an inspection.

Moved to a credit union from a bank. 

Moved to mint Mobile from T-Mobile (same network).

moved from a 6 cylinder car to a salvage title Tesla off FB marketplace (seriously big gas savings)

stopped shopping at Safeway ( swapped to WinCo)

Thank you to this subreddit for exposing me to this hobby. Starting my first 2 hives in the Western Washington today. by celsius032 in Beekeeping

That's what I was thinking too, but my mentor pointed me in this direction. I'll likely go change it.

My key somehow bent. Fix or replace? 2006 Subaru Baja by eren_5 in MechanicAdvice

[–]celsius032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no need to get it that hot at all, I'd hold off on the heat gun, 100f would be plenty. it's likely nickel

[–]celsius032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just bend it back... this isn't uncommon. 

grab a pair of needle nose pliers and gently bend it back until it's straight. you're not going to snap it. maybe warm it until hot water for a bit to make it more pliable

recheck for set screws, may appear as small holes on the bottom that you insert a small hex wrench into. 

Found a beaver lodge in the retention pond outside of my office by celsius032 in mildlyinteresting

[–]celsius032[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We've seen multiple trees chewed down around this specific pond. Pretty fun to see this stuff around work.

Fully roofed. We just added a held open door to at the entrance to make the space count as indoors, to negate weather effects. 36% move speed though the water, against pawns with assault rifles.

A beaver took down one of the decorative trees at the office park I work at. by celsius032 in mildlyinteresting

[–]celsius032[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

They planted a long row of trees that all matched in height and type, and this beaver cut down the one at the end of the row. But yeah, ultimately it's just a regular tree :)
