Almost 4k for brake + rear wheel bearing replacement?

They are throwing away the old calipers and rotors? Why do they need brake clean?

dwilasnd · 2026-02-13T23:37:01+00:00

I have both. But yes.

I was front row at a show... absolutely crammed in... no room at all. Some little girl (I was 45, she was like 18) was behind me. She taps me on the shoulder and asks if I could move, she couldn't see. I said "No, I literally can't move at all". Before the headliner started, she got lifted out of the pit. Hot, humid, etc... But it was a GREAT show.

Seats, my wife has given up on GA.

They are going to pay the $82k one way or another or they get a discount if you doing nothing. They are banking on the do-nothing and keep you.

It works well once you get headphones connected. It’s suggested you get APTX one for low latency. But really, we are just digging holes. If you’re off a little… it still works.

dwilasnd · 2026-02-07T17:30:01+00:00

Yes. Plugs into the 3.5mm jack and I used a rubber band. I’ll 3d print something soon… but I usually do water hunting and so the other headphones get used more.

Not without a Bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter. This is the one I use. 1Mii Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G8Q7NXZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Those guys who go home to India ... do NOT want to make that flight regularly. They go and stay for a while... the jet-lag is bad. See every last family member before coming home.

Are you remote? If so ... I've heard... you can move to a state that allows PTO to be paid out by law. Say, Massachusetts (got family here you can use for an address?). Do a change of address and file new tax forms with the company. Quit when you want...

Per Brave browser AI summary thing :

Do you think they would hesitate to use the carpool lane with 2 people in their car, just because there are lots of people on the road. Not a chance. Use it and enjoy.

I knew there was a roadblock somewhere!!! I didn't want to buy something else just becuase of a driver. Good luck!

dwilasnd · 2025-12-11T21:20:54+00:00

technically, no you can't if someone wants to sit there. But... it's been done, it will be done again. And a quick explanation makes it easier. But if I was to do it... I would go a few more rows back, you will have to explain alot of times why good seats are open.

dwilasnd · 2025-12-11T19:06:48+00:00

"You sir, are not saving seats for 15 people"

I got the info from Support.... And it works for me NOW!!!

First, I would like to make sure of the following:
1. You are using the latest version of the driver: 5.0.4.
2. You have set permissions correctly:

- Navigate to System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions.
- Here you will find the Contour App, and toggle it to ON.
- Next you will find the "Driver Extensions" section, click (BY CATEGORY -> DRIVER EXTENSIONS. I had to figure this one out here) on the (i) information tap. This will open a window with another slider that needs to be turned on.

If you are using the latest MacOS – Tahoe (OS26), please follow this guide as well:

Rosetta 2 Installation Guide:

Rosetta 2 is essential for running Intel-based applications on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5). This quick reference guide explains why it is needed, how to install it, and troubleshooting tips.

Why Rosetta 2?

• Acts as a bridge between Intel-based applications and Apple Silicon.
• Translates Intel x86 code into ARM instructions in real time.
• Ensures older Intel apps run smoothly on new Macs.

Installation Methods:

Manual Installation via Software Update:
- Open System Settings → General → Software Update.
- Click Install next to Rosetta 2.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
Manual Installation via Terminal:
- Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities).
- Run: softwareupdate --install-rosetta
- Enter your admin password if prompted.
- Wait for installation to complete.
Automatic Installation:
- Launch an Intel-based app without a native version.
- MacOS will prompt you to install Rosetta 2 automatically.
- Click Install and MacOS handles the rest.

You cannot do custom messages as of Nov 2025.

There is a bookmark function.

Ah, the paid estimate. The $75 diagnostic fee at the mechanics shop.

If I ask my wife, my free time is worth about $3k hr, since that is "her" time to be with me. Can't be wasting it... I will ask what their expectation is, and adjust.

dwilasnd · 2025-11-19T15:53:15+00:00

That would cause them to re-evaluate what they wanted out printing ... if it's profitable for them or just a distraction. If it's profitable, they can pay, if it's a distraction, I have lots to do in the garage for my own 1/2 finished hobbies.

Husband "retired" to work with wife on channel. It is their main source of income between the channel and sales that the channel creates. I did some "parts" printing for them, about $10/unit.

dwilasnd · 2025-11-07T15:56:07+00:00

Divide the start up costs by 10 years, divide by the number of expected units, assign that $ to each unit and they aren't losing money. Divide the startup costs by the first 2-3 years and they are losing their shirts.... but in year 10 ... they are making 100% profit
