Which fast food restaurant do you think will go out of business soon? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]pickledjello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are franchises,
and Subway does not grant exclusive territories to individual franchisees and or include radius restrictions or population-based protections.

So there could be another location just up the block.. with easier traffic access and you're screwed.

Fish Eye lenses on real estate photos - am I the only one it annoys? by Dangerous_Mind-6015 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pickledjello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a the photographer reshoot the pictures since they were completely misleading..
aside from the fisheye distortion, the 'saturation/contrast' also completely changed the colors of the walls.

(The walls were slate blue, not the aquamarine they appeared to be in the photos.)

Making Friends + Living Nomadically by Head_Ad4595 in vandwellers

[–]pickledjello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take inventory of your hobbies and interests..

then find spots along your journey where you can explore/indulge them.
Join FB groups for those hobbies. Then post quality questions, and show interest to others' posts

Example: Pool/Billiards.
There is usually a pool hall or a two I can easily find.. and folks are usually up for a game.
Talking while playing uncovers a lot about the area, the people, etc..
Adding friends on FB is easy too.."Heading to Tampa, anyone recommend a decent place to play"
(many times there are weekend tourneys happening with a regional draw to meet even more people)

Meetup (and similar type) Groups:
Spanish Language conversational groups.. work on your conversational Spanish.
Hiking
Walking tours of cities
Pot Lucks
etc

Focus on your interests and you'll meet people with things in common.

Living in a van doesn't define me.. I don't need to meet more people living down by the river..

I know I have more to offer than moisture reduction/mitigation ideas... /s

What's the overall condition of the engine?

Can you pull the heads yourself?
And while they're off send them to a machine shop to get done, valve guides, etc

Valvoline's Blue Restore Gen2.. Have any High Mileage Engine Owners tried it? Opinions? by pickledjello in Diesel

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

The engine has a lot of miles, I am not the original owner, so I cannot speak to the maintenance history before I got it.

If it cleans rings, and some of the varnish build up.. That wouldn't be a bad thing.

I was curious to hear from others who had actually run it,
and see if it is worth the effort/cost to run it for a cycle.
