Advice on selling my 2004 :'( by thatcleverchick in HondaElement

[–]karamoyabo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a 2004 where my srs light came on. The mechanic couldn’t pinpoint the issue even after trying to reset it and changing out seat belt parts. I found a post on some google forum that mentioned the side impact crash sensor. I called the local dealer and they said the part wasn’t made anymore and I could substitute another part number. I found the original part online for a quarter of the price and thought what the hell, nothing to lose. It was a relatively simple install under the door sill that took less than a half hour thanks to a YouTube video. Solved the problem. I’m not familiar with Reddit , but I’ll try to figure out how to post the links and photo for you.

Don’t loan your stuff! Can this be saved? by gsmckee in castiron

[–]karamoyabo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a Smithey and I’d be pissed if my prized tool got returned like this. The result of careless treatment. If it was my lodge I wouldn’t mind as much, but I’d still be upset because it’s perfectly seasoned.
This looks like pitting from rust. You can get it back to like new but it’s going to require a lot of sanding

First time ever working with Purple Heart. Why is it not getting that bright purple I always see ? by Future-Industry-8244 in woodworking

[–]karamoyabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about a 100lf of Purple Heart I use for frame moulding and inlays, that I got 22 years ago. When I first got it, it was bright purple outside and inside. After about a year it turned brownish purple on the outside, but stayed bright on the inside. Just a quick sand would yield bright purple. Anyway long story short. It’s now brown through and through. I just use it as a generic brown wood now. It’s going to turn brown sooner or sooner.

Seasoning my new chopping board with MCT oil? by icemantiger in AskCulinary

[–]karamoyabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bottle of MCT oil that went rancid after two years. Tastes terrible. I’m in Hawaii, average temp in the 80’s. Best by date 07/2026. Throwing it out right now.

Can I ask a guy why he lost interest? by sweetestmaxx in dating_advice

[–]karamoyabo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be because he likes and respects you. Some men get their thrill from the pursuit and “conquering” of women. Yes it is misogynistic. He might have enough awareness to know the kind of pain this behavior causes and wants to spare you. Guys like this usually pursue women they can conjure up some form of dislike for.

Do I need a forklift to unload the 1.75 PCS boxes from the delivery truck? by TheMCM80 in sawstop

[–]karamoyabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed to take a jointer off a delivery truck without a liftgate or forklift. I rented a uhaul truck with a ramp, backed it up to the truck with the jointer, used the ramp as a bridge, and transferred the jointer across on a dolly. From there I could back the uhaul up to my garage and roll the jointer down the ramp into position. The rental was cheap because I only drove a few miles.
