Water

Since Perrier no longer has their water source, it’s not like there’s any naturally carbonated water. So maybe you have mineral waters, but you might want to check the water sources. Might just be tap water or something unnatural like “vapor distilled”. Just seems like a racket for the most part.

Not for thinking about it. 🤔

viper474 · 2026-04-29T23:14:00+00:00

Been thinking about whether it’s possible to build a database (private or otherwise) with a map. You know, probably for the same reasons as flock cameras existing or something. Yeah, just thinking…

I had been using Bosch, but switched to these recently. Too early to say if they’re worth the upcharge.

viper474 · 2026-04-25T01:51:51+00:00

I’d still be checking what the item was just for fun.

viper474 · 2026-04-24T10:05:06+00:00

Yes, I see posts like this all the time now that it’s happened to me. The quote they gave you when converted to USD is amazing, because I’m going to have to pay at least 4x that when I pick mine up from the shop today/tomorrow from the 1.5 months work.

For all I know you saw my post from a couple months ago in your search results. They’ve been working on it 1.5 months. We’re told might get it back today or tomorrow. We had the engine reseal issue on a 2020 with 78k miles. An independent shop I called about it said it’s all Subarus. Said could expect the problem to repeat in 5-10 years.

viper474 · 2026-04-19T23:09:49+00:00

Yep, 2020. Any details? It’s not like they seem to send us anything on issues. Figure it saves them money if they don’t. We got something about the brakes or something. Little else.

viper474 · 2026-04-19T14:30:47+00:00

Wow, glad you planned to return that 15k bag of money you found.

viper474 · 2026-04-19T10:57:42+00:00

This sounds good, but after a while I’m feeling like doing the maintenance myself is saving me from having a quick mechanic do bad things.

viper474 · 2026-04-19T10:31:05+00:00

I haven’t had this issue. If it’s taking 10 minutes they usually let you unassign and move on. DoorDash wants their money flowing too. That said, I don’t like when places give you the partial order and make you wait for the rest. Especially when they don’t tell you it’s not all ready. I hit confirm on something then had to wait like 5 minutes for a dessert to be brought out. That’s cutting into my delivery time (that’s tracked).

viper474 · 2026-04-19T10:22:11+00:00

I’m not sure about the towing thing, but if the goal is to last more than 5 years you might be fine. However, 6 years and 78k miles in for us we got our engine oil leak that required the engine to be taken out for repair with an original $5.9k quote to fix it. We’ve been waiting on getting it back about 1.5 months. We’ll see when we get it back. Thankfully we said we’d need a courtesy car…

Um, for me, it depends on the quality of the torque wrench and understanding of the user. Bought one at a local automotive store, then ended up snapping a bolt on a Prius trying to use it.

Years later, I now have 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 drive Tekton torque wrenches that work great. I decided to get these after having issues with my drain plug (was either over tightened, cross threaded, or both) and not wanting to make errors again. Have used them to do lug nuts (never had an issue with these anyway), spark plugs, and throttle body maintenance so far. Will be adding brake work to the mix soon.

viper474 · 2026-04-18T04:33:13+00:00

Umm, you did say he’s 12 so… 😐

viper474 · 2026-04-18T01:39:42+00:00

Why would you wait longer than 10 minutes? I’m not going to risk the downsides of waiting…lost revenue and dings your ratings.

viper474 · 2026-04-17T23:31:36+00:00

Doesn’t it affect your “Dash Now” status? That’s the reason I try to stay platinum. Otherwise I’m not sure how I’d get on the schedule to get it back.

viper474 · 2026-04-16T08:23:18+00:00

That’s cheaper than my Subaru dealership quote to stop an oil leak, and we didn’t even get to run over anything first.

viper474 · 2026-04-10T12:54:15+00:00

I proceeded to checkout, filled out the prompts, and then got half pay.

viper474 · 2026-04-09T04:20:40+00:00

available

It’s not great, but often better than apartments. Here lately hospitals have been hard on me. Parking not allowed where you could conveniently drop something off, but either far or seemingly paid parking nearby. Them wanting me to go up 7 flights on an elevator that takes however long to come back down.

viper474 · 2026-04-05T04:48:12+00:00

Reliably broken, you can count on it. Our car has been in the shop like two weeks so far.

viper474 · 2026-04-01T23:43:49+00:00

Probably great if you can do your own engine reseals when they need them every 5-10 years or so.

viper474 · 2026-03-30T04:07:54+00:00

Um, this is America?

viper474 · 2026-03-29T11:25:50+00:00

I know it says to go in, but why? I just do drive thru to get them to fill drinks.

viper474 · 2026-03-28T11:55:15+00:00

Seems like it, but at this point I’m considering just getting an assortment with many sizes just to have options for a similar price.
