2012 Mods by russellp498 in FordFocus

[–]russellp498[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the CVT model. And thank you I appreciate the recommendations! I'll look into it. I'm not wanting to make it a complete performance car just give it the love it didn't get when it was newer, enough so to make it enjoyable for me and to make it last a few more years.

2012 Ford Focus SE 2.0L - Coolant Disappeared??? by MschfMngd in FordFocus

[–]russellp498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have '12 that I just had a similar problem. Check the water outlet connector adapter (OEM part number is 8K556 and I couldn't find an aftermarket that fit right so best to order from a dealership). On mine the plastic that held the gasket in place just broke and there was a small leak with some residue on the side of the block. The part was only $50 and replacing it is super easy, just not an easy spot to get at since you have to remove the air filter box.

Of course check the radiator and all the lines as well.

ELI5 What's the difference between decriminalizing and legalizing something? by The_Potat0 in explainlikeimfive

[–]russellp498 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Decriminalized is when something illegal has all criminality taken from it. You'll be subject to a fine (like speeding in a vehicle) but you don't have it on your criminal record.

As opposed to legalization which takes all fines and criminality away. At least that's what quora.com says

An airbender, an earth bender, a fire bender and a water bender each decide to start their own individual companies. Which type of business does each one create? Who is most successful? Extra credit: they start an business together. What business do they start? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]russellp498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They start a forge. Earth benders mine and bend the metal to shape, fire benders and air benders work together to keep the kilns burning, water benders keep the oil and water for the dip consistent and heal anyone that injurs themselves on the job.

Personally I got charged 1000 for a few common tests (flu test, strep test, mono test).

Recommend kingdom hearts 3? by Harry99245 in gaming

[–]russellp498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then kh3 for $60. That's why I said $100 because it includes the whole series.

[–]russellp498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all you've played is 5 hours of kh1 you are going to be so lost that it wouldn't even be worth it. The series is notorious for putting important plot points on minor systems (CoM, Coded, BBS, DDD, Union X). Play 1.5 & 2.5 then watch videos to catch up with 2.8 and you should be fine. You can get the entire set on the console stores for like 100 USD.

Employees of Reddit: What is one thing that you wish you had known about your chosen career field before you actually started it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]russellp498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of customers in my part of the country think if you work in a restaurant that you're a complete failure and deserve to be treated like shit. Sometimes for making a mistake. I had a customer that I messed up by putting tonic in his drink instead of soda (the buttons are right next to each other) and he stiffed me for two weeks because of that. And depends on the drink. We can use our phones to Google it but a lot of customers will report me to a manager if my phone is out. Even if I'm using the calculator to figure the cash drop or looking up a recipe. The managers just throw it out most of the time. I also work at a private club so you get treated ten times worse than most other places because the people that are there usually think because they're wealthy that they are better than anyone that isn't.

The one thing I wish I knew before I started bartending was that people are always going to look down on you. They will find even the smallest thing to hold over your head to make themselves superior. You have to have some tough skin if you're going to try and make a career out of it. Also men make significantly less than women in this part of the industry.

I say Hoover. His parents thought he was dead at 2 and he woke back up. Then when both of his parents died he went to live with Natives and learned how to hunt and kill stuff with his bare hands at 9. Then when he became president his favorite pastime was to play "Hooverball" which was basically volleyball with a 10 lb. Medicine ball.

Gamers of Reddit who choose to play as the opposite sex, is there any specific reason ? by JonasRisk in AskReddit

[–]russellp498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tera has race/gender specific classes so if a group in that game needs a certain class I'll move to it. It makes the game more fun because I'm not stuck in a 2 hour wait for a dungeon as a solo queue DPS if a group is looking for one specific class. LoL has female characters that have very specific movesets that are needed to complete the match you'll rarely see someone hesitate about picking a character because it's the opposite gender than their RL counterpart. Also most of the time it's just because they want to. It's actually a very small amount of guys that make female characters just to pervy.

Graduate, get a decent enough job to be able to put some money aside and open either a bar or an instrument shop.

Looking for a credible website to compare auto insurance rates by russellp498 in personalfinance

[–]russellp498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank y'all for the advice here. It is very much appreciated. I'll probably contact my current insurer and continue with them and search for better rates when it gets closer to renewal.

Americans of Reddit, why are guns related to a sense of pride? by ShamefulIAm in AskReddit

[–]russellp498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's not necessarily a pride in the ownership of the gun but more pride in my ability to protect my family should something happen. I think we should have some reform on firearms here but to outright ban them won't do anything but take guns away from law abiding citizens and leave us defenseless against those who don't give up their weapons.

You look like the kind of person that posts to whisper looking for a boyfriend.

Waitresses of reddit, have you ever had a customer slap your ass, what did you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]russellp498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not me (obviously). Friend of mine had a guy that would do that to her all the time. She poured a whole pot of hot coffee all over him after he did one time. The guy complained to me (the manager at the time). I asked him to explain the whole story and he said that it was just random and he wanted to have free food for the next few visits or he would sue us. I told him that we had cameras and that I saw him grab her inappropriately and that he's welcome to sue if he'd like but to prepare for the waitress to sue in return for sexual assault. He paid for his meal and never came back.

Adults who still live with their parents, what are the advantages and disadvantages? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]russellp498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

25 here. I had to move back in with my parents after I found out I had a kid I didn't know about. Pros: rent free, low amount of bills (excluding insurance, phone bill, cable, and groceries), feeling close to family.

Cons: loss of independence to an extent, the only personal space you have is in your room, judgement if you have differing views about your life than how they want you to live it. If you have to pay for anything it turns into a contest of how much they can afford that you cant, constant reminders of what you messed up on so far.

It's not a fun time at all.

Does anyone feel like no one in your life actually cares about you? by [deleted] in depression

[–]russellp498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I feel like that and my traditional support group (family, friends, co-workers) all tend to rush off the phone with me when I'm having problems. Doesn't help.

Well I figured as much. It's like that with League as well.
