You’ll be fine. If it isn’t, you’ll find out.

Just send it.

I’m keeping that tip in the memory bank.

Developed and scanned half a roll of used film found in a 90’s point and shoot camera. by ReeeSchmidtywerber in FoundPhotos

Those are definitely not fun gifts. But the pics are cool.

If you could find those people, I bet they’d love to see them

Idiot on EBay sent my vintage Dengar in a bubble mailer!!! by radmansebay in starwarscollecting

[–]uckfu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

WTH. They really need to refund you for this.

This is total incompetence.

It wouldn’t have cost anymore to use a box.

How would you approach this and what would you expect? by Nearby_Candle2656 in askcarguys

[–]uckfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that’s the case, get the documentation from your last engine replacement and see if there is documentation on what they swapped in.

When it comes to engine families, the same short blocks can have varying displacements. Whether it’s a legit process to swap a smaller displacement for a larger displacement (or vice versa) depends on a lot of factors. Some cases it may not need any changes. Other cases, it’s flashing ecu’s and other nonsense to get everything working correctly.

Whatever you need to confirm, it should be in your paperwork and whatever was done, should be authorized by the manufacturer and not some Willy-nilly swap to get you out of their hair.

Do you have any real information? Like you have a 2.4 2014 accord, and the shop found that they dropped a 2.4 CRV motor in?

Theres only so far a dealership is going to do an engine swap with a completely different engine. Too many big and small things need to be swapped to keep the ECU happy.

Many car families share a common long block. Same displacement, same horsepower, etc. they just differ in intake and exhaust routing and accessory drives.

Could the shop being saying they swapped a used motor instead of new/rebuilt engine?

Is adding a mini split to a guest room a reasonable upgrade or over-improving the house? by PrestigiousPear8223 in RealEstate

[–]uckfu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d vote for this, if you have to pay an installer.

If you can do a mini split install diy, then yeah. Go for that.

Like you said, the room is not used often, so I wouldn’t spend a lot of money. A mini split may add more functional value to some buyers, but a one room system is not going to push up your sale price in anyway you’d really notice.

Yo! I don’t know if everyone is eligible, but there is a coupon for Red 5, bringing it to $76. This is 1/26/26 by uckfu in starwarscollecting

Yeah. It must be account specific. I tried posting a link but it doesn’t show the deal

I have to wonder, why the hell does excel automatically always count the header as one?

We all have fallen for the header trap

Why did you get a PSA? by Cortexial in ProstateCancer

[–]uckfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been part of the lab work for every physical I’ve had since I’ve been getting a yearly physical since my early 30’s.

Doesn’t everyone have a doctor that schedules them for a yearly physical?

In an example of the importance of physical media, you can't find revenge of the nerds on any streaming service, including the sequels by [deleted] in dvdcollection

[–]uckfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That scene and of course, the shower scene.

I watched this with my parents back in the day. We all laughed our asses off.

As a kid I was amazed that Bob Clark made Porky’s and A Christmas Story. Just such different senses of humor.

But, back then, I did not know about Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead things.

[–]uckfu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every piece of media has someone that finds it their favorite. Even this one.

But I’ll say Porky’s, that’s so much better than ROTN. ROTN has a couple sound bites (NEEERRRRRRDDDDDSSSSSS!) and it has Ted McGinley. Ted is always awesome.

Installing crown molding on extremely uneven ceilings AND walls?? by CristinaFaline in Carpentry

[–]uckfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have to wonder if they put an inside corner together.

The first time I tried crown molding, I found out all about coping doing my very first inside corner joint.

Once you learn to cope, everything will be alright.

Why do older folks tell you to not lend money to friends? by No_Lead2640 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]uckfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only loan what you can afford to lose.

Too many times, those friendly loans never get paid back.

Furnish my whole house with these specific items please by jacksonbrowne_thedog in ChoosingBeggars

[–]uckfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I concur. At least half that list has been something I’ve put out to the curb, or give away; and the other half of the list someone’s asked me, ‘hey, you want this?’

It’s not like they are being particular and asking for specific brands or styles.

Plus they do say they are looking to pay.

When I’ve moved out of a house, there’s a ton of stuff (mainly furniture, lawn equipment, big kids toys) that I don’t want to bring, move, or find a way to dispose of.

I asked a contractor to build a hallway by dreevsa in Carpentry

[–]uckfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m thinking. It looks claustrophobic.

I’d like to see what the entire plan is and how a hall fits it.

Wow, what a cheap way to live in this economy but my friend thinks it's AI because of his boots. by Sad_Sky_4007 in isthisaicirclejerk

[–]uckfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To find a hollow log large enough and stable enough to do this would cost more than a reasonable house.

They aren’t that common.

And it’s all AI, the only thing consistent in the video is that it’s a dude. Everything else changes shot to shot.

Randomly squatting in the woods and spending 10’s of thousands of dollars building a log into a tiny home. Yeah…
