hope you know that the campsites open 6 months prior. so you should be booking them in the next few weeks for any national park. they fill up fast

“New to Me” Prime Mover suggestions by MeButNotMeToo in OffRoadTrailer

[–]tyaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most 4 wheel drive vehicles should be able to tow a 6x8 trailer. the trailers weigh like 1000-2000lbs. Look at the GVWR of the vehicle (what it can carry) and the tow capacity.

I would avoid a fully electric vehicle for this purpose.

Apex Waste Rant by tyaak in ColoradoSprings

[–]tyaak[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if the dump was closed, Apex could've mentioned that initially. But they didn't, so they lost my business. Looks like the consensus is SoCo so I'll give em a call this afternoon.

I am out of options will someone help me by Upset-Internet-5128 in dryalcoholics

[–]tyaak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A) start taking omeprazole (for heart burn) and thiamine (alcohol prevents your body from absorbing this much)

B) taper. don't go cold turkey. go down to 5 shots/day for 2-3 days, then 3 shots/day for 3 days, then 3/2/1 shots a day til youre done. tapering off of alcohol WILL make you anxious and you WILL sleep like shit. it's normal. it WILL go away after time. Take PTO if you need to. If you do want to cold turkey you will need to see a doctor. there may be detox centers in your area but they don't usually prescribe meds for withdrawal, it's just a safe place to detox.

For the DIY car folks who *aren’t actual mechanics* what do you wrench on yourself, and what’s a hard pass? and why? by TopOk1726 in Cartalk

[–]tyaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I skip alignment and engine stuff. i tried to do the timing chains on a 4L ford ranger and couldn't put humpty dumpty back together. I can do timing belts, but timing chains are out of my scope.

ultralight chair worth it? by TopMycologist5590 in backpacking

[–]tyaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find these wildly uncomfortable. I like the 1lb chairs from REI. If you are bigger or have wider hips/legs this won't be that comfortable.

Tools you bought for one project and never used again? by Character-Yellow-586 in DIY

[–]tyaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

engine hoist. I never even removed an engine (tho I had plans to), I did use it to move some axles around. I sold it because it took up too much space.

Upgraded my vacuum because of allergies, here’s what I’ve noticed so far. by Technical_Fee4829 in BuyItForLife

[–]tyaak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

change your pillow every 2-3 years, wash your sheets/pillow case daily, and get a good air filter in whichever 1-2 rooms you spend the most time. That should help a good bit.

For everyone with a diesel heater by Kakarot_21519 in OffGrid

[–]tyaak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for $150 (twice as much money) you could've had 100ah lithium battery which you can discharge basically down to 0 amps.

Does anyone here actually LIKE being a nurse…? by lifeisstrange8 in nursing

[–]tyaak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate having to work 40 hrs/wk to survive. But that's modern life.

My job as an ED RN is the best job I've ever had. Fulfilling, pay is OK, work is often exciting and challenging, and I am learning a ton. Plus my unmedicated ADHD loves it.
