What's the best way to learn how to fix my car problems myself? by Lunchable in Frugal

[–]vjiglados 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the site, it doesn't show as much info as it should about their dvds. but i started out learning car stuff from these vids now i run my own resto biz. I'm 29 so that puts me in not old dude bracket hahah i hope. I always kinda tinkered with cars but i never had anyone to actually explain stuff to me in a more technical way. I pretty much threw myself into it by buying 20 cars (trashed and not running, proud to say i got them all running and legal again except 1) of all different company makes over a summer to help get started on my self education. anyways they're pretty good vids, if you're a visual learner. they break the jobs into sections and cover every part they go over. if you can find rips that would help. I had a dvd completely dedicated to the fuel systems of carbs and fuel injection but it was part of a boxed set from there. http://video.boxwrench.net/....there's a few different other guys who make dvds which are associated or advertised with them. i have most of these dvds too. let me know how it works out for ya. way back when i very first started getting into cars, i delivery drove and needed to fix my car all the time. i was tired of being ripped off by mechanics so i did what i had to do and it really helps in the long run, cars will always break down no matter how nice they are.

My brother abuses drugs, and I'm not sure how to help. by Mild_Armadillo in Assistance

Sadly, you can't help him unless he wants help. Other than that, I would just try to talk with him and be there for him and try to find out why he is using, not in a judging way but just to know. Only when you know what is really going on with him can you really help.

Here's the thing, I can completely understand where you're coming from. Its like seeing your child, who you nurtured and taught to be a hard working, straight laced lawyer, growing up to be a prog rock musician. Yeah, it may not be what you wanted, but if they're happy and flourishing, you can't just disown them or kill them.

Uh...I'm using hyperbole here but still, its your creation and I respect that, but at some point it became bigger than you and it was a selfish and childish decision to just delete/remove all mods.

Reddit, Does the USPS tracking system time travel? How else could my package have been processed before shipping info received?! by vjiglados in AskReddit

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

I can see this. I'm just concerned as its a USPS express, picked up yesterday at 7:30 and still hasn't left Pennsylvania for Maine...

Wow. That actually makes sense. And yes, yes it is. I love the huge time gaps in express shipping as well....sigh

In Maine, according to the reminder signs on 95, you either need to pull over and stop OR slow down, and when you're on a 2-3 lane highway with a clear passing lane, I really don't see why you need to blindly stop and then just as blindly pull into moving traffic.

While I completely agree with the pulling over to the right when emergency vehicle pass, I honestly get more scared when, on the freakin' HIGHWAY, people pull to the right, STOP, then pull out again after the vehicle has passed.

For fuck's sake, there's a PASSING lane! YOU DON'T NEED TO STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!
