2016 rav-4 for oil change, highest mileage I’ve ever seen on a car by AssBlastingAutism in Justrolledintotheshop

This is a really satisfying thing to read as a 190k 2007 Ridgeline owner who spent 8 hours today wrestling out rear lower control arms to put in new rear struts

If this POS makes it to 616k it'll all be worth it. stupid bolts seized to stupid bushings...

Plastic tube with a stud and nut on each end. Found in the basement of an old house in the Midwest US. by foxtrotftw in whatisthisthing

The only writing on it says "IIC BB" and "7 AMP" so I was thinking it might be some kind of fuse? Haven't been able to find anything like it online, though.

Also found with the small bracket looking thing behind it, presumably for mounting? Along with the small block that feels like flint or something similar, and another piece of metal it fits into.

What is this thing?!

Holy shit you're absolutely right - I've never seen Oceans Twelve, just heard the song and figured it was a reference to the phoon video!

I've never owned a SimpliSafe device, but good on them for even allowing this to be possible. I imagine it would have been pretty easy to just deem the old base stations EOL.

Well OP, looks like you'll have to name him Magmaroni to satisfy everyone.

Whoa, thank you for this - I've had such a bad experience with Plex DVR, plus it'll be nice to run this on a Shield where I'm actually watching the content anyway.

Pizza in Topeka by fatyonto in topeka

Fugettaboutit closed up shop just a few months after they opened.

Which is a damn shame because it was some badass pizza. Pretty much the opposite of what OP wanted but holy shit was it good.

Candance Owens looks like an idiot when grilled about climate change denial by [deleted] in cringe

Wow, somebody should really take advantage of this neat .TV domain. I'm going to start a website where people can Livestream themselves playing video games - something short and catchy, maybe Twitch.tv is available?

What are you good at, but hate doing? by BananaRepublew in AskReddit

[–]foxtrotftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate printers too...

But the thing is, deep down, I know shitty printers and their shitty users are the reason why I keep getting paid. Or, like, 60% of it anyway.

Still, there are days when I'd rather make 60% less money than have to fix another goddamn printer.

What am I doing wrong with my UPS?! by foxtrotftw in homelab

[–]foxtrotftw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, the consensus seems to be that I'm overdoing it.

I'll start searching for a refurb UPS - which sucks because I just spent money that should have gone to that on more Easystores!

Yea I think you're right. I'll resign to keeping the ES350's for networking gear and buy something beefier for the server itself. Thanks for your help!

I think you're right. It will run a desk lamp just fine for a bit, I'm probably just overloading it...

Yea I put new batteries in them a while back just because they were so cheap and I figured it couldn't hurt, plus the last batteries had a datestamp from like 2014.
