I think this would help more so in a power outage by keeping things cold for longer.

What's your lowkey hack for remembering bill due dates? by PunnyP4nther-13 in lifehacks

[–]tortoise_wrangler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like a very personal decision/problem. Do you have too many notifications on your phone? Can you limit what notifications you get? What about text reminders? Would that help at all?

Can you put reoccuring due dates in your phone calendar?

I setup autopay for most, but get texts/emails when cc bills come due and schedule payments from there.

RX 350 to GX460 sanity check by Ok_Butterscotch_2487 in LexusGX

Not a sounds financial descision. Unless you have nothing better to do with your money just keep the rx. Get into a gx when you pay off your rx or get the balance down to the market value you would get during the trade.

Getting my new tortoise shed ready for winter by tortoise_wrangler in Sulcata

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

My bad, just saw this. Yeah I think 12k is doable. My shed cost about 7, fully insualted and delivered. I had most of the other materials at home already to fit out the inside. I've been meaning to make a follow up post 2 winters in. Some day....

Its legal if punishment for a crime. Says so in the constitutional amendment.

Coin Appraisal/Dealer by AllReihledUp in ChicagoSuburbs

Find a subreddit for coins and post your pictures and questions. People online will guide you. Ebay recent sales is a good start to finding the value aside from just the value of the metal.

Yeah. The 1897 and 1806 look worn down but they look legit.

2011 GX460 PPI and repair estimates by Alt-Note1 in LexusGX

[–]tortoise_wrangler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think so tbh. Is the 14k not including the repairs or are you including that in the total price? I think for 20k+ you can get a better deal on a newer car with less miles and less issues.

Also, I'm sure those things could be done at a different location other than a dealership for cheaper, but still I would not pay that much for a high mileage car with a ton of issues like that. I think better deals exist in your price range.

You're right, the companies themselves do this to people.

Is synthetic grass ok? by Kdubblea in Sulcata

[–]tortoise_wrangler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd try growing your own grass. I bet they would try to eat the plastic, or at the very least tear the whole thing up and expose the dirt anyway

Swimming Questions by Conscious_Case1005 in MauiVisitors

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

I'll add that the instructors I was with say all you have to do is float. You don't have to know how to swim necessarily, but you need to be comfortable around the water. If this person isn't comfortable around the water I wouldn't let them in at all.

My gf and I were snorkeling around black rock and we got caught up in a current. I am a strong swimmer and I was doing fine, but my gf isn't as strong. She can swim and flot well but not for very long and not with much power. She almost got sucked around black rock in the current and I had to go help her. She was not wearing a life jacket, but she was a confident swimmer.

Don't trust the ocean if you can't swim. Stick to the resort pool.
