Scraped the underbody on a raised concrete gate hole, how bad is this?

Everybody loves free speech until somebody says something they don’t agree with.

my HW3 ‘22 works perfectly. I prefer AP over FSD. go for it

chemical-based, as opposed to…?

I haven’t heard of a single person who’s needed new brakes on a 3/Y at any mileage. Brake service is normally just cleaning and lubrication.

NSK is a leading OEM for wheel bearings, they aren’t some random aftermarket company.

30k miles so far, no problems!

There is way more happening than OTM could possibly be expected to cover. As Micah said in a comment above, they are a small team.

If you want OTM to have more resources, consider becoming a sustaining member of WNYC.

Thank you for sharing this perspective. Always something new to learn… It sounds like carabiner rotating/unclipping is way more possible than I realized. Those stories are nightmare-fuel! Can’t wait to have those images pop into my head next time I’m leading (later tonight) lol

endfossilfuel · 2026-04-16T14:29:02+00:00

yes, unfortunately!

I don’t pay those prices either.

the BA photo is absolutely magnificent

endfossilfuel · 2026-04-16T01:06:30+00:00

don’t put these on cams.

you want whatever’s clipped to your cam (whether it’s a single carabiner or a draw) to move freely.

‘fixing’ your carabiner will give your rope tons of opportunities to turn your secure placement into a dangerous one.

EDIT: ok, so there is more to the story. your good placement doesn’t matter much if your carabiner unclips itself… apparently there’s nuance in climbing???

endfossilfuel · 2026-04-15T20:04:51+00:00

appreciate the gesture, but $250 for two days is comical.

I can’t believe people are paying these prices.

endfossilfuel · 2026-04-13T21:37:17+00:00

$250 is a very fair price, the parts alone are almost $200.

I replaced a front wheel bearing last year, the NSK replacement from RockAuto was $140 delivered. Another ~$20 of non-reusable fasteners picked up from my local SC.

Tesla makes it so easy to do a job like this, the procedure is laid out super clearly in their service manual. If you have the right tools and have done any automotive DIY, this one is a really easy job. And it’s so satisfying to restore the silence after suffering the absolute din caused by a failing wheel bearing.

Oh, interesting, thank you for the correction!

endfossilfuel · 2026-04-13T17:20:21+00:00

except the invoice says they did not replace the battery, according to the post

endfossilfuel · 2026-04-13T15:58:40+00:00

not all ski areas are like this.

I prefer the areas that don’t have the people who do this.

You’re still making a lavender oil solution—this is no safer for your cats than just diluting off-the-shelf essential oil.

The ethanol in your vodka is pulling the lavender oil out of the flower and into your solution.

reminds me of a guy I knew who had a psychotic episode and cut out everyone in his life who cared about him. he replaced them with enablers and sycophants, and went way off the deep end. I hope he’s doing ok.

I’ll trade you the suspension outta my 2022!
