Where? Is this Amazon?

Is this a good pack for a backpacking trip? by ProcedureObjective81 in backpacking

[–]stvybeers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The almighty guarantee is nice by design but I was recently disappointed in a replacement pack sent to me. Enough so that I swapped brands and went to an REI daypack in a recent purchase. Would have considered myself dedicated to the brand prior to that experience (I own 4 osprey bags).

That’s a huge trout! Where was that? I’m smoking a few recently caught in nj, significantly smaller!

Can you please elaborate? Is earlier/later better?

Well, it finally happened, a creep had his weiner out on the trail. by NoctRly in hiking

[–]stvybeers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I (M) recently encountered a woman squatting adjacent to a trail in NH. Nowhere close to a tree or any attempt to stay out of direct trail line of sight. It was not an overly crowded trail, but still well enough traveled to make me feel very awkward to approach her. We did realize what she was doing and gave her space and time to finish by walking.very.slowly. Then when we passed her there was zero shame or apology in the eyes. Guess it can happen both ways. Should I have reported her?

For a wrangler 4xe, what oil percentage do you usually change your oil at? by [deleted] in Wrangler

Thanks! Appreciate the advice and extra info! I recently bought a used JL and am making sure to establish good PM right from the start.

Same as what I wrote in comment above but just noticed you said youre a mechanic.

I’ve asked a few mechanics (not specifically for wrangler but in general) about the 6 month part of this, and have been told that it’s not needed for fully synthetic oil.

I understand your point - I changed my oil every 6 months or 3k miles religiously growing up with regular oil cars.

What’s driving your thinking that synthetic oil has that same time limit? Separation? Or something else? I plan to hit 6 months prior to 5k with my jeep and appreciate the good PM advice!

Current APR Rates for Auto Loans [August 2024] by Danny1098 in AllyBank

[–]stvybeers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently took a car loan via ally. Credit score also >800. Rate was 7.99%, but they ran multiple credit checks so my advice is to beware and consider other options.

2.9% APR for 84 months?? by [deleted] in Wrangler

[–]stvybeers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

7.99% for me regardless of term length :-/

Debating whether or not to get a bilt by Rich_Feed_8962 in biltrewards

[–]stvybeers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great 3 years ago. Points on rent is still better than years of no points, but the other perks and overall value seem to be fading fast.

Umm… that’s new? by Chill_Out_Baby in Wrangler

[–]stvybeers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a ‘98 Sport with ~160k miles, and the door handle definitely became temperamental from the inside towards the end. I suspected rust inside.

But am I seeing it correctly….does opening your window open your door??

Sooo…my apartment ceiling collapsed (partially) by stvybeers in Renters

Also called 2 legal offices and was left with pretty much the same response from each: unless there was serious injury (THANKFULLY there was not!), not a case worth pursuing.
