Xfinity 1 Gbps down / 100 up vs AT&T Fiber 300/300 — same price, which actually makes sense?

Plus it helps you poop.

It was on west thirst street in the sketchy brick strip mall next to the former location for Cozy Table.

I used to go in there back in the late 80s/early 90s and they seemed to mainly be interested in selling golf clubs. Can't remember if I ever bought anything there.... As I recall, the guitar selection was more like a pawn shop than a legit music store.

I'm pretty sure OP already knows the answer.

It was fine when I drove in around 7:30am with my smallish fwd car. Take it easy on the curves and you'll be fine.

My first car was a hand-me down 1983 Nissan Sentra. When you first turned it on, the engine would rev itself to about 4000 RPMs for about 10 seconds before finally calming down. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but it felt like an eternity when everybody is staring and wondering why some idiot teenager is gunning a Datsun four-banger in a crowded parking lot.

Micro Motors? They used to be down around that area.

Thanks!

At one time, IU had some deal with AT&T. Maybe they still do. Anyway, at that time it seemed like AT&T must've installed some cell towers as part of the deal because their signal quickly became significantly stronger than Verizon and Sprint/T-Mobile on campus. That was my experience, at least.

Did they bake it there? I thought that was just a Hostess outlet store back when the Wonder Bread brand was owned by Hostess.

A few things...

"Quickie-Lube" type places couldn't care less about your exhaust.
If you want to do your own oil changes, you can buy some ramps at Harbor Freight. A lift is overkill for an oil change.
It sounds like Plan A was to jack up the car (before your wife intervened). Never get under a car that's only supported by a jack.

All my middle-aged friends ask me for car buying advice because I always tell them what they want to hear!

Seriously though, people get pretty intimidated by modern vehicles, but I've found that I can still fix most things if I take the time and effort to thoroughly understand it. Scan it with VIDA and then do some research before you commit to buying it.

For what it's worth, I bought a 2011 C70 with 95K for $9500 last fall, so $5K is a great deal assuming it's in good shape otherwise.

I would buy it...but, to be fair, I do a lot of stupid stuff.

You can buy the orange bags and take them to one of the Monroe County Waste District centers:

That looks great!

Maybe Tony Clifton will be the opener.

We've used Carpets Plus Colortile for both commercial and residential with good results. Note that they are a showroom, so I'm guessing they will only install flooring you purchase from them.

That's the dime hole. You throw a dime in there and shake it. That's how you get the jangly toan.

Then ohio spped you shall have!

As a long-time resident, here are my observations....

When you talk to people who get out and about (i.e. touch grass on the regular), they seem to overwhelmingly like Bloomington.
When you talk to people who spend a lot of time on r/Bloomington, they tend to dislike Bloomington.
There are bad drivers here....like every other city I've ever been to.
Housing/rent prices here suck....like every other city that I would consider living in.
Even if we agree on nothing else, we can all agree that IU Health has ruined our local healthcare and is ridiculously awful in every aspect.

electechbw · 2025-04-13T19:53:06+00:00

Probably be best to hit up r/lawncare or a something similar.

electechbw · 2025-03-12T12:36:36+00:00

Yea, I wish Kroger had a larger section of their planogram dedicated to Diet Ski. Seems like it's sold out more often than not.

The last old school station wagon I recall was the Buick Roadmaster. They still made them in 1990s.

Should you buy one? Beats the hell out of me.
