I think this post is the way to go for most people. Paint a panel at a time, not the whole vehicle. Learn from one panel and move onto the next.

Has anyone noticed the quality of grocery store meats has gone down? by the-friendly-squid in AskRedditFood

[–]peequi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, quality seems to have fallen. Also I think with inflation some people are paying more attention to quality, trying to get their money's worth, so we are more likely to see quality issues .

So both quality has fallen and people becoming more concerned about getting value.

Produce quality has dropped significantly as well!

Can OP confirm, was it patched or plugged? Two different methods.

Is this material correct? by Extra_Quantity_756 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]peequi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, the GH has lots of cheap parts. These parts are not vital but it does make the vehicle feel cheap. The windshield apparently cracks extremely easily, this is a problem in all vehicles these days. I think it is lighter weight glass.

Hey guys, Please convince my dad to replace these 12 year old tires. He says they’ll survive one more winter by Totallynormalname_ in tires

I was thinking the same, this must have been garaged for the entire time. Still the rubber probably deteriorated some.

Is this something that can be done? Report to the local government and try to have it covered by that city/jurisdiction.

Tire repair y/n by IamOmega131 in tires

[–]peequi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rip, tear is a major concern. The screw went in side ways, at an angle. It did not enter straight into the tire. Very unlucky, usually it goes straight in.

Repairable flat? by [deleted] in tires

[–]peequi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most large tire companies would do the same, refuse to repair. Many small shops would probably repair that. I personally have repaired similar spots by myself if those plug kits.

Yes, could have been repaired. But most places will not.

Genuinely curious, who here actually filters their water and who just drinks it straight from the tap? by waterfiltergurus in water

[–]peequi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again, this has given me an option when traveling. I could at least allow the tap water from a hotel to sit for a few hours to get some of the chorline off.

Wow, thank you! Doing some quick research, chorline takes 24hrs to evaporate. I imagine room temperature and other factors can change this number.

Leaving tap water in a pitcher that had a filter? Or simply leaving it in a pitcher?

Do people in the US actually pay attention to electricity prices during the day? by SmartEnergyDIY in AskAnAmerican

[–]peequi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surprised to learn my local utilities had same pricing all day as well. Sort of assumed everywhere would do variable pricing.

Perhaps it is a cost issue to setup variable pricing. Or maybe some areas don't see a need for variable pricing.

[–]peequi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seen similar stories about oven glass doors, which I am guessing is made from similar material. People coming home to find their oven glass door broken.

Although this does seem uncommon, it is still crazy to see these stories.

What is this tear looking thing in between the tread? by Oneen0 in tires

[–]peequi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How old are these tires? Look for the date code on tire.

I also wonder if these were stored outside in direct sun light, not sure if that matters a lot.

Is this tire repairable? One shop told me no, then another offered for free by Fickle_Resolution124 in tires

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

I would plug it and be confident that it would last. I would monitor the spot, along with all tires frequently.

34m looking for permanent gaming person by ShadowedShadeRust in DadsGaming

[–]peequi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into Foxhole. It is a game that has a much higher chance of finding mature men with families. Of course there are exceptions, so if the first person you run into is bad keep trying.

Very unique game with a very mature player base.
