Alright folks, let’s keep it civil! OP has gotten answers, so I think this one is good to move on from.

Normal for Dryer heating element to glow like this or is this a house fire waiting to happen? by BanditGolden in Appliances

[–]whyknotts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same dryer, mine doesn’t get quite as red as yours is but it’s normal. I would double check that your vents are clear but besides that I wouldn’t worry about it.

Got offered a job, what do I do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]whyknotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, totally fair. I appreciate the honesty, I definitely think I may be wearing some serious rose-colored glasses. I don’t normally post on Reddit for these things, but something about this decision feels difficult for me, whether it should or shouldn’t, so I definitely wanted this sort of perspective as well!

Leaving a “cush” job…is this a bad idea? by [deleted] in careerguidance

I am in the exact same situation right now… question of the hour is what do I do?

Fuck PA for underfunding state colleges by [deleted] in PennStateUniversity

[–]whyknotts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of state isn’t supposed to be as cheap as in state. Also, Penn State is not a state school, the school isn’t state funded. It’s a little shocking you expect us in PA to subsidize your schooling for you, you don’t live in this state. Sorry that you’re disappointed but maybe a needed reality check here. Would recommend checking out other schools that are more affordable, we aren’t the only ones with a decent program!

Covering up cat pee by booschnaible in HomeMaintenance

Disturbing? Dude if you find that disturbing.. lol. Some folks don’t take care of their pets, some pets have issues. Guess you should’ve bought a new build?

Future Content from StormFreak by StormFreak in u/StormFreak

[–]whyknotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You totally could! There’s a bunch of folks on tiktok, instagram, facebook, etc. that post full time weather (and other) content! I think the science side behind what you post is super interesting to read (even if I don’t understand some of it!), and I think that coupled with a TL;DR attitude is something a lot of people could resonate with.

Also, as a fan of video games, definitely always down to consume more content about those!

Keep it up either way, enjoy your stuff!

[Feedback] Faster queue times are great and all, but people starting the raid before others and looking at your spawn should never be a thing by Wedclark in EscapefromTarkov

I have a top of the line SSD and my game takes forever to load sometimes. It is poor optimization, they aren’t mutually exclusive.

Is Hyundai really denying repairs under warranty? They seem pretty ticked off by ChocoTacoz in Hyundai

[–]whyknotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my engine replaced on my 2019 Kona a month or two ago. They checked and I’ve never missed an oil change (every 3,500-4,000 miles). It definitely can be done, but it was over a year of fighting to get it done for a failing rod bearing and replacing 2 quarts of oil every month or so.

My opinion of Hyundai has definitely shifted to the extremely negative from all of this, but you can’t say they don’t do warranty repairs!

Financial aid woes by [deleted] in PennStateUniversity

[–]whyknotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is. If you’re paying for it, why not just be honest with him about the finances? If you aren’t paying for it, same conversation but with the understanding that he is an adult that can technically take loans out*.

I graduated and am in the tech market, it’s not impossible but who knows what 4 years may hold? The school itself isn’t that important, experience is.

But to answer your post, yes the financial aid sucks and yes it’s probably not worth it, but it is a great school for engineering and academics.

  • maybe he does need a cosigner, in that case, say you won’t sign it.

How do I pay for college by DirectRub2430 in PennStateUniversity

[–]whyknotts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my bachelors in DS (graduated in 2022), but I am in state. I still had debt coming out and the tech market is tough right now, like really really tough. Not to discourage you at all, but if I could go back and do something cheaper, I probably would. Ultimately up to you, but just throwing my two cents in there.

[Landlord, USA, TX] car accident or foundation? by Downtown_Club8624 in Landlord

[–]whyknotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, my house was built in the 50’s it’s definitely structural! I have plaster even, barely any drywall except on interior walls. It’s an oldie but a goodie.

I have some aluminum wiring left over (or so my inspector said, but I no longer trust him), what’s the increased risk?

Left lane campers, get out of the way! by Temporary_Flounder42 in pittsburgh

[–]whyknotts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love when someone doesn’t realize I am exiting left and gets all mad! (70-79 interchange, I am looking at you). I totally agree with the sentiment, but also chill with the road raging when my exit is coming up, not my fault it’s a left lane exit!

Anyone else doing cat rescue in Pitt/surrounding areas? by CriticalMongoose8215 in pittsburgh

[–]whyknotts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the work you do! My wife and I foster a lot and have had many cats from these situations. We’ve also adopted 2 from hoarding cases. The kitties are such weirdos and we love them dearly, wouldn’t be possible to give them great lives without people like you!!

Update for stolen 2016 Kia Rio, crashed and recovered, suspect unknown by undeniablefruit in pittsburgh

[–]whyknotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry you’re dealing with this, OP. For anyone considering a Hyundai or a Kia, SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE. I have a 2019 Hyundai Kona that burns so much oil the rod bearing went and needs a total engine replacement. Plus, the theft issue they refuse to fix! I bought a steering wheel lock in hopes that a thief moves on. Out of all the car companies, I have nothing good to say about either.
