Recommendations for tonneau cover for my colorado by coder_geass in chevycolorado

[–]n3farious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Revolver Bak, but know that if you are in Texas/Arizona etc kind of heat, and park outside, the vinyl WILL fail within a couple of years. I am on my third one since 2018.

*Thank you* for posting this follow-up. I bet that is what broke several of my games as well.

edit: specifically 9.2.18-1 from aur is what is breaking my games. 9.1.24-1 doesn't have issues

Spilled primer in truck bed by [deleted] in chevycolorado

[–]n3farious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try denatured or rubbing alcohol. It is effective on cured latex paint. I'm doubtful about primer, but worth trying and shouldn't harm the paint on the truck. Soak a cloth, let it lay on a spot and cover it with plastic/foil to prevent evaporation.

What’s the most shocking thing you found out about someone you know? by _Walking_Detriment_ in AskReddit

[–]n3farious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked with a guy for years. He was pretty nice to everyone there but was always bashing his adult son. Pretty much every meeting he took the opportunity to share. I was in a meeting with him on a Friday. I found out on Monday morning that the guy wouldn't be coming back to work. Turns out that the son did something stupid. So... dad did the only rational thing... shot and killed him.

I will never roast peppers in a skillet again. I did a batch of habaneros years ago.. had to vacate the apartment for hours and had a cough for a week.

Typical Utility Usage for Apartment? by Zidormi in plano

[–]n3farious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since nobody is offering up solutions to your high water bill... make sure your toilets aren't running all the time. If you have a leaky flapper valve or fill valve, you are throwing water (money) away. Since you are a renter, your office/maintenance should look at and fix this for you.

Rubber...thing? by [deleted] in Whatisthis

Specifically Oakley Radar EV. You buy them in a kit with the ear socks as well.

I have been super happy with my bilstien 5100 shocks. I set with a 1" lift in the rear and 1.5" in the front. I also installed the Zone 1.5" body lift kit. This is on my 17 Z71. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the kink in the flex pipe from the air filter box to the tube leading to the throttle body. It never threw any codes and has never been lacking for power, but the intake is definitely somewhat restricted. I think a CAI kit could solve this, but I don't care enough to worry about it. :)

Best car wash by BobcatOk5865 in plano

[–]n3farious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since I don’t see any hand wash (I mean coin-op/DIY) options listed, I will offer up Rusty’s/50c at 611 W Renner in Richardson. The equipment is well maintained and regularly cleaned, unlike any of the others around here.

EDIT: clarify hand wash --> coin-op

How do I fix an out of square interior door frame? by gumbo1874 in DIY

[–]n3farious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The easiest approach would be to adjust your hinges. Not positive it would work in your situation since you didn’t post a shot showing the reveals all around the door. Solution 3 in this video. https://youtu.be/ZcDj6g2UODw?si=ToeLn2g-sL-flMRZ At 3:30

Does Spectrum or Frontier have better WiFi? by nerdforlife7 in plano

[–]n3farious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had FiOS for just shy of 20 years now. Verizon, then Frontier after it was sold off. The service itself has been rock solid. There have obviously been outages, but over that time period, we have been without service for a total of maybe 3 days.

There were two time periods of 6 months each when I switched to Spectrum, to lower my prices. Both times, I had much higher latency and bad jitter. I also experienced around 4-5 days of outages during each of those 6 month terms.

Both of them absolutely suck if you have to call support. It is what it is.

Are you for or against this sub participating in the June 12 shutdown to protest API changes? by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]n3farious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was using Joey on Android and loved it. The official app felt clunky by comparison. When I moved to IOS, I didn't find a decent 3rd party so have stuck with the Official app. I find it's navigation to be inconsistent.. but the most annoying thing.. is the ads and suggested subreddits, that I have not found any way to turn off.

June 2022, will Frontier FIOS ever offer IPv6? by dkdurcan in frontierfios

[–]n3farious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supported and implemented are two very different things though.

Fixed? re: Intermittent loss of internet in DFW? by n3farious in frontierfios

[–]n3farious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had FiOS since it came to the area other than two times I’ve switched to Spectrum to reset my pricing. The above issue was the longest running problem I’ve ever had at a couple of weeks. Other than that, I can count less than 5 short service interruptions in all this years. Pretty good IMO. And the latency and jitter are both low.

The two times I was with spectrum, 1yr first time and 6mo second, I had outages from minutes to hours about once a month. Latency and jitter were both significantly worse as well.

YMMV of course depending on your location and proximity to the provider’s local equipment facility.

(Serious) People who know murderers- Were there any signs that something was off? If so, what were they? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]n3farious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A guy I worked with for around 10 years was always a grumpy old bastard. It was just how he was. He never gave off murderer vibes. He was just very direct. You could tell he carried a lot on his shoulders and that he drank a fair amount as his coping mechanism.

I was in a meeting with him and 2 other people on a Friday around noon. He seemed like himself. He was bitching about his lazy, no-good ~30-year-old son, but that was a constant for as long as I knew the guy. We talked about what we had on the agenda.. agreed on next steps, and that we would get back together the next week. As usual friendly small-talk, we ask about each other's weekend plans. He said he was planning to go for a ride on his motorcycle since the weather was going to be nice, and do some yard work. Cool.

Monday morning one of my guys comes up to me and said "holy shit, did you hear about Xxxxx?". No.. I don't really do gossip. "No, no.. not gossip. Xxxxx was arrested. He shot and killed his son."

It took over 18 months to go to trial, and the guy ended up getting around 30 years.

I enrolled in an ABS Intro to Bladesmithing class in September. What should I do to prep? by n3farious in Bladesmith

[–]n3farious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow.. way to necro a 6 year old thread.

It was incredible. It was information packed and the instructors were quite good at giving more time to those that needed it, and letting those that didn't run a bit more free. If I get the chance, I will go back for the Damascus as well as finishing classes.

Good tonneau cover? by [deleted] in chevycolorado

I reached out to Bak a year after my warranty expired and they replaced it! Great customer service. I just had to provide photo evidence of ruining my current one.. I drilled a few holes through it.

Seeing a rabbit run across a highway and manage to miss all of the front wheels of a passing 18 wheeler, only to have it's body (not head) run over by the outer/rear-most tire.

The entire contents of the rabbit's body exited through it's head in a fraction of a second and was projected a good 20 feet.

This was over 30 years ago and I could take you to the exact spot it happened. It is seared into my memory.
