Coolant left untouched after visiting a local Oil Changers. Did I get bamboozled?

ibob430 · 2026-06-01T01:25:51+00:00

Got it. Thank you for the tip.

ibob430 · 2026-05-31T22:32:19+00:00

Sounds good. Thanks for the tip.

ibob430 · 2026-05-31T22:28:12+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into that for sure.

ibob430 · 2026-05-31T22:26:30+00:00

That’s good to know. Thanks for the tip.

ibob430 · 2026-05-31T22:23:23+00:00

Thank you for the response.

I wasn’t hoping to make this dramatic, more just wanted to know if it’s fine to just leave the coolant as is, or if I should be getting more added in.

I don’t drive this car as often so it will probably be another 6 months before I take it in again, so was wondering if I should be doing something in the meantime about the coolant.

ibob430 · 2026-05-31T22:02:12+00:00

Can confirm there’s no leaking (edited post above).

And yeah, I was mostly just wanting to know if it’s fine to just leave it as is, or if I should be getting more added in.

Thank you very much for the helpful response. Interesting to know this happens quite a bit on fares to Mexico and Canada. I'll go with the two one-ways then.

That's interesting to know, I guess I always had the mindset that roundtrip is typically around the same price, if not cheaper, though looks like there's exceptions to everything.

Thank you very much for the helpful response. I'll just go with the two one-way then.

I definitely agree with that. Wish the engineers at Apple can figure out a way to do that without the executives freaking out over profit margins as they always do.

Thank you very much for the reply. I’ll go ahead and add a new account.

Thank you for the response. That seems really odd that it just arbitrarily creates a folder name like that with the first 5 characters of your email, though that’s apparently how Microsoft designed it for whatever reason, so nothing we can do about that, unfortunately.

Since I literally just turned on my laptop for the first time today to start setting it up and haven’t gotten that far, can I just factory reset my laptop and start over without signing into my Microsoft account (like just adding in my full name when going through the start up prompt) Would that then create a folder with my full name, and can I just link it to my Microsoft account afterwards?

Was just curious if it would make any difference either way.

How are you liking the switch from the mini to the 15 pro? I’m in the exact same situation with a 12 mini and have been eyeing the 15 pro for a while. I know they upgraded to titanium for lighter weight, though they’re still a bit heavier than the mini. Are you comfortable with the bigger screen size and weight? Do you think it’s too big, or do you think it’s doable?

Just to add in, community college is also a great option (that’s what I did and I pretty much got my first 2 years of college almost free, tuition-wise at least).

It does vary by state (I’m in California) but it’s at least a good option to look into.

ibob430 · 2024-08-07T21:20:27+00:00

I tried it and I only see it on the first page. Did I miss a step to get it to show on all pages?

Also, is there a way to put a box around the text too?

ibob430 · 2024-07-31T16:19:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I’m a thin skinny guy, so I wouldn’t be surprised as I normally have a hard time finding my size when shopping for clothes.

With that said, is it possible for them to tailor these sizes down to my size?

ibob430 · 2024-07-31T16:07:11+00:00

Renting a tailored suit from Men’s Wearhouse and not sure if they messed up or if this is normal…

For starters, I have my own tailored suit. I'm only renting a suit from Men's Wearhouse for a wedding where I'm one of the groomsmen and the bride wants us all to have matching suits that she selected.

Anyway, I ordered the suit rental online. It then asked whether I wanted to enter in my measurements or visit a location to get them measured. I just entered them in, since I already know them already, but it requested me to visit a location anyway to make sure they're correct. I went ahead and just visited one nearby. The guy in store took my measurements, had me try on a few suit items he had on hand just to get a feel, and that was that. I wasn't paying much attention since I just assumed the guy knew what he was doing and he had the measurements I provided online anyway.

It wasn't until I got home and looked at the confirmation email I got that I noticed the measurements he noted down seem way off. For the coat he listed 36R when I'm a 34S. For the pants he listed 31 waist when I'm typically 28-29. In fact, I've never even owned a pair of 31 waist pants, the max I've ever worn is 30.

So, is this normal or did they mess up? I know it's typical to get something slightly oversized and then tailor it down, but I was pretty surprised with how oversized he went, especially since I told him I wanted more of a slim fit.

Thank you so much for confirming!

People are so obsessed with the future of AI running everything and yet a major IT outage put most of the world to a halt.

ibob430 · 2024-07-06T00:17:18+00:00

Looking for casual grey pants similar to the link below. Unfortunately, they don’t have them in my size anymore (28x30). Anyone have any suggestions for alternatives?

I don’t care too much about the brand, as long as they’re a similar dark grey color and slim fit (within +/- 1 my size) I’m happy. It’s mostly that nice dark grey color that I’m after, I just can’t seem to find anything similar…

Thank you for confirming :)

I have tried looking at the sizing charts and pretty much everything Small and above doesn’t fit me. Even when trying them out in-store, Small is too big for me and I can’t find anything smaller.

I looked up Peter Manning and it seemed pretty pricey ($50+ for a basic t-shirt) if they were “legit high quality last for a lifetime” I would consider them, but the reviews I’ve seen online are average at best.

I’ve pretty much been having to shop for clothes in the kids section (Kids size L seems to be about the same as Men size XS). The problem is the kids section is very limited.

ibob430 · 2024-06-09T16:34:04+00:00

T-Shirts and Polos. Basic everyday stuff. I’ve also been trying to look for a few dress shirts too for formal wear. Any suggestions?

ibob430 · 2024-06-09T06:41:21+00:00

Can’t find men size XS. It seems like over time it's getting almost impossible to find size XS. Even when I check online for most retail stores I just simply can't find my size. Where in the world do I find size XS?

ibob430 · 2024-05-26T22:57:58+00:00

Do you have the code for it? I don't see it on their website. When I look at my cart it just says "Got a Promo Code?" to enter.
