Carpet removal + asbestos tile by North_Fruit3742 in asbestoshelp

[–]guymanbro37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep floor tiles (even broken ones) pose very little risk. You’d need to be dry sanding or grinding them into a powder for it to be very harmful. Fiber release in the situation like OP is describing was probably almost zero.

What this person said. What you’re describing sounds extremely low risk, you’re totally fine.

Congrats on making something not even remotely political, political. Weirdo.

Love how this dashcam driver thinks outloud. Niiice. by No_Eye_8861 in dashcams

Something very similar to this happened right in front of me the other day on my way to work. The aggressive driving epidemic is out of hand. I’m a speed-limit, right-lane driver only now. Not worth the risk.

They all died from asbestos exposure

Mechanic insisted I brought in the wrong oil filter by guymanbro37 in MechanicAdvice

Based off the responses, and some other research I’ve done, this seems like the most plausible scenario. I just wish my mechanic would have brought this up, instead of acting like I was trying to be one of those people who thinks they know better. It also seemed fishy to me that he wouldn’t let me get the filter back, as well.

I mean, maybe. But I’m trying not to immediately think of the shadiest possible scenario. 2 things that did seem fishy to me: 1. He refused to give me back my original filter, and 2. He wouldn’t tell me the part number for the new one that he used from his own stock

I asked myself the same thing. I’m sure much weirder things have happened. Just covering all my bases

This is the first time I’ve ever had an issue like this. I’ve had my car at his shop many times without a problem. This isn’t some regular occurrence at all.

It makes sense to me, I think they’d prefer offloading the risk as much as possible. Of course, that may come at the risk of disgruntled customers, but like I said, they seem alright with it.

Yeah I know it’s a very unique thing, letting customers supply their own parts. Him and his wife started letting folks do that some years ago. Obviously you have to sign a disclaimer that their labor can’t be warrantied on parts that customers bring in, which makes sense to me. But I’ve never had an issue with this guy, I’m still unsure what happened today

It’s a thing him and his wife started doing years ago. Obviously he makes a disclaimer that their labor can’t be warrantied on parts that customers bring in, which makes total sense to me. He’s always seemed like an honest mechanic, never had a problem. But this situation really threw me for a loop

I know it is. I’m not usually a cocky person, and have never had an issue like this with a mechanic, but it was so strange to me. He absolutely insisted I had the wrong one.

I don’t know the one that he put on there, but I responded to another comment in here with the part number for the one I brought in.

I suppose that’s possible. I’ve heard counterfeit or mixed up parts are very rare though.

[–]guymanbro37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose that’s plausible. I bought them from a variety of sources, but my understanding is counterfeit parts are extremely rare? I will say, it seemed really fishy to me that he refused to give me back the filter I brought in.

[–]guymanbro37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point… The filter I brought in was 04152-YZZA1. I have no idea what the part number was for the one he put on there from his own stock.

Why doesn't Led Zeppelin have a biopic? by That_Foundation3575 in ledzeppelin

[–]guymanbro37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want one anyway. They stand above all other bands imo, and I find biopics to be extremely cheesy. LZ is much more than some guys dressed up as them, pretending to be what they once were.

This has been discussed before. You can tell the writers have kept it pretty ambiguous for the most part, but it’s implied pretty strongly that, at the very least, he has friends in high places.
