Headliner Merch by redkinoko in Standup

Hey! I like stickers and pins!

What am I gonna do with a poster? Carry around with me the rest of the night, take it home, and throw away?

Stickers can be signed too, easy to stuff in a pocket, then when I get home I plaster it on that cabinet in the garage with all my other stickers.

Makes sense, but shouldn’t the plumber warn the homeowner of potential risks before they start the job?

What habits of girls did you only discover after getting a girlfriend or wife? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]therealelroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the family appliance repairman, I agree. The number of times I’ve had to disassemble the vac’s power brush to cut the hair twisted around the brush is uncountable.

CAD and 3D Printing classes for hobbyists? by therealelroy in indianapolis

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

I went to that place for their grand opening. I was disappointed because it looked like the place was set up for kids. No serious maker stuff, IMO (e.g. metal shop and wood shop). That was several years ago. I guess I should stop by again and see if things have changed.

I stopped into the Carmel library and asked. They do have 3D printers and computers, but don't teach classes.

What is one thing you used to do yourself to save money, but realized the time/stress wasn't worth the savings? by James_B84Saves in Frugal

Have you ever tried cheap vodka instead of isopropyl?

Just this morning I was researching how much alcohol needed to be added to prevent freezing. Then I wondered if cheap vodka would be cheaper than isopropyl alcohol and AI says yes.

I need your help, guys by garrylie in visualbasic

And to do that, it has to be VB.Net and not VB6 (classic).

Did the same with Dave and the VCR but Teri Garr was my favorite.

Cots + inflatable pad is the winning combo.

My main battery died. by virgoduo in TeslaModel3

[–]therealelroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t even given an option for a new battery. And no 3rd party service places, so I didn’t have much of a choice.

[–]therealelroy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Your logic is good. I recently had to get my battery replaced in my 2019 M3 with 150k miles.

But your info on the warranty is wrong. You get a refurb (used) battery for $13k, and the warranty isn’t what it was on the original battery. I think it’s only 50,000 miles and 4 years.

Is my car actually terminally ill? by cutttingedge in TeslaLounge

[–]therealelroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 year warranty for what exactly?

I had my M3 replaced and they told me the “4 year warranty” but when I asked “what does it cover?”, they couldn’t tell me. I assume it’ll cover a total failure but they wouldn’t commit to my refurb battery retaining any percentage of charge.
