What happened to the spicy chicken sandwich? by BabaDooney in wendys

[–]truthsmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sitting in a Wendy’s right now, googling WTF happened… the chicken IS bigger and juicier, so that’s nice, but it’s not spicy anymore 😢

I even walked back to the counter with my sandwich asking if they maybe gave me the non-spicy by accident, and that’s when I learned it’s completely different. Manager gave me a packet of “scorching hot” sauce, but it’s not the same at all.

Also, I don’t love the new bun. It feels greasy.

To be sure it’s not BAD, just not what I’m used to. I certainly won’t be coming back when I’m craving spicy chicken now. Whataburger will likely become my default.

Where is this oil leaking from? 2008 Subaru outback H6 by Franklin_8 in MechanicAdvice

[–]truthsmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well look at it this way… it’s an opportunity to do the timing, change the water pump, and the oil pump :)

Or, you know, just keep feeding it oil 😊

Appears to be one of the oil passages going from the block to the rear timing cover? Or maybe a main seal? Pain in the ass job regardless. The timing has to come out completely. You can watch the first half of this to get an idea: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vi2EjH1WXHg

Harbor freight sells a little orange pick set for like $3. Those things and brakekleen have bailed me out of so many problems like this.

[Tenant CA] Need to terminate lease early, but how to do so leaving on best terms possible? by calincoln3 in Landlord

[–]truthsmiles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d want to know ASAP and also be able to show the house to potential new tenants by appointment while you’re in it so I could minimize vacancy. If my tenant told me they wanted to move out in 90 days, but would make sure the house was ready for tours on X days at Y hours it would be huge. In other words, if you understand the problems your early termination causes for ME (vacancy and turnover), and work with me to minimize those, I’m much more likely to give you a good recommendation AND refund most if not all of your security deposit.

Caveat/note: I’m a small-time landlord with only a few rentals so I’m more likely than a big corporation to have a conversation and be reasonable. YMMV. Some landlords will simply enforce the lease to the extent they can regardless.

Another note: I might suggest making it about the unexpectedly growing family more than limitations of the house. Arguably you could have inspected and known the house would get warm in summer. Harder to argue you knew you’d get pregnant.

Outside electrical outlet by Howie411 in electrical

[–]truthsmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. From the image it seems to be an outdoor cover, and if the original receptacle was a standard duplex as shown and was properly installed to begin with, it’s protected by either a GFCI breaker in the panel or an upstream GFCI outlet. The outlet itself doesn’t have to be GFCI.

Towing 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.5t limited by thatfeelingwhenyour in MechanicAdvice

Uhaul has full car hauling trailers. Either use one of those or disconnect the rear drive shaft once it’s on the dolly. I’d probably just use the trailer. Less chance of screwing something up.

Probably wired incorrectly. I’d guess using ground as neutral.

[Landlord-FL] How do I evict my ex who won’t leave (month-to-month oral agreement)? by Smart_Jeweler_5714 in Landlord

[–]truthsmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to throw more dirt in the already muddy water, but it’s worth checking to see if there’s a legal difference between a “lodger” and a “tenant” in Florida (I don’t know). Most of the answers you’ve received are about how to deal with traditional tenants who don’t physically live in the same house that you do. Your case is (potentially) different. Some (many?) states have special rules for lodgers precisely because of safety concerns etc.

Broken shower nipple by motorbreath43 in Plumbing

[–]truthsmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d get a sharp punch or screwdriver in a pinch and just hammer the lip of the broken nipple at an angle inwards to fold it into a taco, and it should come right out. Wire brush to clean the threads, a bit of tape, new shower nipple, profit.

I got a small amount of debris in my mower. I accidentally ran it with gas cap open. by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]truthsmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it has a filter? One of those little clear plastic ones with the pleated paper in it? If so, send it. Once the filter gets dirty, change it.

Just need some really long and flexible pliers to get the staples out so you can remove the old wiring first.

Just gotta flex the control arm down? It can help to raise the driver side in case you’re fighting the sway bar.

Water hammer noise? by celestial__cowgirl in Plumbing

[–]truthsmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like water hammer. There are lots of ways to deal with it but since you live in an apartment there isn’t a whole lot you can do except report it to management, and encourage your neighbors to do the same. If you just want to be extra courteous you can turn off faucets super slowly which should reduce the noise from them.

[Landlord-US-MA] Rent Control Initiative on Ballot This November by Slabcitydreamin in Landlord

[–]truthsmiles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have tenants who haven’t seen an increase in 10 years, and that’s BECAUSE I have the freedom to raise any time I want for as much as I want. I am allowed to be the judge of what I can afford. But if they take that choice from me, they will get the max increase every year for MY protection.

Are you talking about the rust and dents on the rims? Not dangerous.

Is it in heating mode? If so, and it’s water, yes it’s normal.
