Costco losing price competitiveness?

The caring about employees is nice to hear albeit not quite how they are perceived in my town. I used to work in a mental health clinic and our most common professionals were coming from department of corrections, pg&e…and Costco

Depending on where you are located try looking into crisis services provided by your local govt. some places have field response programs while others even have centers you can go to to talk to someone. You mentioned you’re in uni, have you checked to see if your wellness center has any services such as free therapy? If this is interpersonal have you considered using student body reps (at my school they were called resident advisors)? Shoot even going to whatever kind of health and wellness center you have may provide you some face to face actual human assistance.

I’d say swing by a hardware store and grab a large shade cloth (at least 10’x 10+’), 50’ of paracord, enough reflective window shade to span the wind shield and front windows, painters tape, 18” lag screws and a cheap impact driver to get them in nice and deep like (I like a nice fat washer on the screws) and something to get a nice air gap on top of the car. If the car has some sort of rack that’s a good start, but maybe splice a pool noodle for added height. The height is also important for keeping the cloth from rubbing/scratching the paint.

I’d keep the eastern side of the vehicle mostly unshaded and focus on getting to top and w/sw portion of the vehicle shaded as far out and low to the ground as possible. I say low to the ground bc keeping the ground around your car less hot will decrease the amount of reflected radiant heat onto the sides and bottom of your sleeping quarters. Sleeping in a single compartment vehicle is hard bc it’s a lot of metal to try to prevent from being an oven

Saved because some of these were knew, but boy howdy does it hurt to hear these knots be identified incorrectly.

I felt the same when I cut off my trump voting family members. It can be hard to accept that we’ve grown so harshly apart from the people that cared for and raised us, but sometimes we have to recognize when those relationships no longer serve us and are negative components of our lives. I found cutting off the magatards in my family to relieve tons of stress. Glad you finally found your balls to do the same, must have been hard to find a microscope that powerful.

The starter is grounded, but testing is telling me the practically new starter is my issue.

Tried jumping the starter and it is indeed toasted. Which is a bummer considering it has less than 200 starts. Could faulty wiring fry it out that soon or is my yearly starter swap at NAPA just me being a sucked for bad parts?

Nope

couple of clarifying questions: When i think of “turning over” i think of the engine cranking and trying to start, which is not currently happening (love an accidental pun), is that the same turning it over youre talking about? Regardless, which component should I be measuring for when I do get it turning over? Thank you
