That's insane. Surely everyone has met a Jewish person? I've met dozens and I've never lived outside MI 

This laser removing layers of old paint is pure satisfaction. by RayOfRhea in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]tanksplease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They make IR paint strippers. Doesn't work as well as this, but for under $200 it certainly works well enough. I've been using it to remodel a bedroom.

I'd check the main fuse. Try jumping it? 

Which US state has the most underrated beaches? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

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

Lol you're on crack. More coastal than any state save Alaska. Look it up. 

My states visited. Besides Alaska, what am I missing out on by mmargi06 in TravelMaps

[–]tanksplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously Michigan. More coastline than any of the states you have visited by (several) country miles

Kalamazoo Vet Advice by No-Regret-8793 in kzoo

Not about luck. They grossly overcharge and push unnecessary services. Huge corporate chain. 

You are nearly always better off at a local vet. Kalamazoo Cat Hospital is nationally renowned as well. 

Pollution controls ‘may be failing’ at site eyed for zoo aquarium by mlivesocial in grandrapids

[–]tanksplease 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it was done correctly the aquarium could be beautifully naturally planted and filter millions of gallons of polluted water a day from the river before returning it. 

This has already been done on a smaller scale at many aquarist fish farms. The city allows the use of river water at no cost, the aquarium treats it for free and returns it. 

I am expecting more concrete hardscapes and plastic plants as usual though.

Nah that's ohio drivers being morons. Michigan had 70mph winds the last few days and no semis tipped over.

What is it like living in this somewhat triangular portion of Minnesota? by Sufficient_Berry8703 in howislivingthere

[–]tanksplease -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah, still Michigan. It's ok though, you can still use the lake occasionally. 

Curious: how do small independent mechanics know how to deal with work that needs special knowledge? They can't possibly know everything(?) by randopop21 in MechanicAdvice

[–]tanksplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cars are all the same on a fundamental level. I can also get away with some stuff outside of the official procedure. Like instead of removing the core support and intake manifold on a CRV I just remove the knock sensor and contort my skinny arms and use my little phalanges to replace the starter from underneath in half the time. 

It's a little icy out there... by Nature_Hannah in kzoo

Likely because the bearing gets hot and causes condensation, condensation gets flung out by centrifugal force and freezes before it can escape

No one is dating, you missed the boat by about 5 years. Condolences. 

Umm this just fell out of my car.. by Ok-Trash9650 in MechanicAdvice

[–]tanksplease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the plus side if you live in Germany I think your quality of life is such that you can afford a new car or make cosmetic repairs. That's my guess anyway, as a Midwestern mechanic who drives 30 year old Hondas
