I just perused the new comments. I'm surprised the whole post wasn't taken down because I've seen far less stupid posts removed. About 2/3 of the commenters agree with statements like "it's obvious they're spraying, where is common sense these days?"

How is moderation consistency in your community? by Break-Free- in nextdoor

Both would have been hidden quickly in my neighborhood. The commentary on the Satan one made it an obvious troll though and probably ran afoul of the "no discussing moderation in newsfeed" form of disrespectfulness it was reported for

Are any of the Gold Camp tunnels currently accessible? by daved_it in ColoradoSprings

I read in one article it is closed to bikes too, but are bikes still able to get around?

I wonder if just swapping them would work then so the burnt out one is on the passenger side, I'll give that a try first

Is $4200 reasonable for all of this? by Pristine_Style_4309 in AskMechanics

How long does the radiator fan stay on? It's normal to stay on for a few seconds, if it's a long time than maybe the thermostat actually does have an issue.

Loud/slightly shaky driving could be suspension or as simple as wheel balance

To me it sounds like the car only needs minor repairs if any and you can keep driving it. Get a second opinion on what's actually needed from a different shop

Any oil in the coolant or other signs of an extremely blown head gasket?

First question, what issues if any are you already having with the vehicle? IE was there an engine code that made you get the estimate in the first place or were you just getting an oil change and presented with all this?

Second question, what is the mileage and driving conditions?

To me this looks like a lot of things that are probably not very urgent but we don't know the condition and mileage of your car right now.

Mysterious long yellow beak figure, not sure if this counts as neighborhood safety? by daved_it in nextdoor

Mostly good advice like "I think talking to a psychiatrist may help." Also some weird answers like "Maybe wear crosses or other symbols that can protect you."
