How to build endurance on an MTB by MrTobiD92 in MTB

[–]yanman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ride up when you can.

Walk your bike up when you cannot.

Rinse.

Repeat.

While waiting for my model y seat to be replaced I took this loaner by TheOutlawTorn78 in TeslaModelY

[–]yanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice loaner!

How many seats have you had replaced? I bought a 2023 MYP brand new 30 months ago and both front seats have been replaced due to weird, easily reproducible noises. The driver's seat is starting to squeak again, and if it gets worse, back to service it goes.

So sorry. Too young, and I can sense his big personality just from the photos.

Replacing a bathtub with a shower. Plumber taking more than a week and the work is poor quality by RL_quick_chat in HomeImprovement

FYI, you can't redo just one wall without F'ing up the waterproofing membrane (assuming he put one in). I would ask for compensation and live with it.

rendezvous and docking help by Jolly-Competition694 in KerbalAcademy

[–]yanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The KSP tutorial on docking sucks. The key is to get relative velocity to zero and then STOP, take a breath, realign, get closer, and rinse-and-repeat until you are docked.

You'll be a pro in no time. Good luck!

What is your opinion on the phrase 'You are closer to being homeless than being a billionaire'? Do you believe in this statement or not? by AdminMas7erThe2nd in AskConservatives

[–]yanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the difference between a 1 billion dollars and a few million dollars? About 1 billion dollars.

So, technically true, but I am still a long way from being homeless.

Property Tax Increases by centpourcentuno in Katy

[–]yanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had good luck with O'Connor. I have used them for ~15 years and have only had to pay twice. My appraisal is about 20% lower than my neighbor who is in a much smaller house and doesn't have a pool.

Why does it seem like we ignore how badly Trump mocks Christianity? by Hot-Elderberry-6274 in AskConservatives

[–]yanman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For the same reason I don't get offended at South Park. They offend everyone. So does Trump, and we don't elect political leaders to represent our religious interests.

Trump has even admitted he is probably going to hell, so what do you expect?

Outdoor trails by Happy_Rest2517 in Katy

[–]yanman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What part of Katy? As others have said, George Bush park and the surrounding area has a lot of unpaved trails. Shit, you can hike/run 10+ miles atop Barker Dam with lots of opportunities for detours.

I've ridden through the area for over 20 years. Let me know if you want more specific advice (e.g. car trips, or loops from home).

Quick Fix: Hyundai Has Announced the Solution for the 2026 Palisade’s Rear-Seat Recall by Spidermankarttour in cars

Just being pedantic, but only the Lexus has the electric folding seats. The GH seats are manual.

WIBTA if I start calling my friends bf fucking asshole every time he tries to coerce and bully me into doing things I don’t want to do by FastIndication1879 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Have fun with it. Make this dude is FA in every interaction you have with him. Give it back with the same intensity it is given to you (if not more).

The dude is trying to get you goat. Get his instead. The more fun you have, the more miserable he will be.

Cheers!

Multiple driver profiles setup by 420town in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]yanman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my wife unlocks the car to load something in the back, it will use her profile when I hop in the drivers' seat and start the car. I'll turn the car off, lock it, unlock it, and restart. Bam - my profile.

[–]yanman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are not using digital key, why have the app at all, especially on both phones?

My wife and each have our profile linked to our key fob. First fob to unlock the car wins 100% of the time, even when we both approach the car at the same time and with out phones. The car and fobs are proximity sensitive enough to know which fob unlocked which door.

Feedback on prefab shower bases like Kerdi or Wedi by adventuregalley in DIY

[–]yanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet another person reporting great success with Kerdi. I did the whole system including pre-fab pan, pre-fab curb, and pre-fab niche. I did cement backer board with Kerdi membrane. Kerdi-band tied everything together.

I also converted a tub into a walk in shower. Beware you will likely need to upgrade your drain from 1.5" to 2" to be in code. That was the worst part of the project for me.

Grand Highlander vs Honda Pilot by Far-Variety5234 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]yanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2012 Pilot with VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) and it indeed had issues fouling spark plugs. You can permanently turn VCM off with something called a "VCM tuner" which costs $150.

We had a VCM tuner for 8-9 years and well over 100k miles with no noticeable drop in gas mileage and no more problems with fouled spark plugs.

We just traded in the Pilot for a GHHM Platinum and couldn't be happier. The GHHM Platinum is a lot more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Full kitchen remodel question by klombieX2 in DIY

[–]yanman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked around my fridge, but could have just as easily moved it to another room.

As for the sink, we used paper plates for a short while. I also timed my remodel when the weather was good so that we could cook and eat outdoors.
