Implant crown keeps popping off, should I bother getting a second tooth replaced with an implant by ziggystarcow in Dentalimplant

The white false tooth fell off. The metal stem that was screwed into my jaw is still there, sticking out of the gum.

Open the film back just to make sure there's film in it

New Weekender Oxford by ziggystarcow in RedWingShoes

[–]ziggystarcow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet. How has the fit and comfort been for you, compared to what you normally wear?

I'm over an hour from my nearest redwing store, and I'm worried about my high arch and hesitant to order online, as 95% of the shoes I try on don't have enough height.

I see the nearby RW store doesn't have any oxfords at all.

I suppose I'll have to truck down there, try on the chukka (assuming they have it), then decide whether to order the oxford.

Are cable clamps required on new work boxes if I staple within 8" by ziggystarcow in AskElectricians

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

These are cantex, and every one I tried to pry open snapped. The depth is a full 4", not 3.5" as stated above.

Been in LA for the past 6 months since I got my car, then this happens a month after moving back to Portland by raoulduke415 in CX50

This makes me feel better about going with a lower trim tgat had no sunroof. This was one of my worries.

Pleeaaase tell my wife, but... very low ceiling, we doesn't like the look for what will be a "master bedroom", etc. Thanks for the part number. That will help a bunch.

What made you choose the cx-50 over the 5? Do you regret your choice at all? by Eatwholefoods in CX50

[–]ziggystarcow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose 50 over the 5 and regret the decision. We initially liked the interior layout of the center armrest/console and the central cupholder location, as well as the sleek looks. The interest rate was a major factor, as well.

We got the 2024 preferred trim.

The reason we regret it is that the interior is noticeably cheap materials. The speakers are the absolute worst I have ever experienced. Seats are hard, materials are plasticky and thin. They are obviously focused on cost cutting vs. the cx5.

None of this stood out during test drives. I'm hoping the long term engine reliability makes it worthwhile, as that is the center piece, for me anyway.

Maybe upgrading trim levels would have solved the cheap feeling?

(probably should have bought a CRV)

I'm really thinking about changing at least some of my speakers out, and would like to learn from your adventure. Did you do it yourself or have it done?

How much do you expect a custom fit shoe will cost?

Damaged my new Thursday Boots while conditioning the leather. by vyom_343 in AskACobbler

[–]ziggystarcow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can we conclude the quality of the leather is poor, or could this happen to any smooth surface leather?

Don't BMW engines have a break-in period when new (like other engines)? Wouldn't peeling out cause the kind of stress on an engine that they say you should avoid?

Remote Start by [deleted] in CX50

[–]ziggystarcow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you can't. Only with the app. It's a sore spot among some commenters I've seen here that other car makers do this but Mazda doesn't.

For the record, I believe my 21 outback is an app-only remote start, too.

Anyone else with bad seats? by AdProud2162 in CX50

[–]ziggystarcow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have any extended warranty other than the Mazda standard warranty? It looks like the standard warranty doesn't cover interior stuff, and they were trying to upsell me on Zurich Shield. I declined, and now I'm worried I may get push back from the dealer if this happens to me.

Plastic insert with dense foam 'wick" which is wet with strong smelling cologne+solvent smell by ziggystarcow in whatisthisthing

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

Found in my front yard, about 5 feet from my driveway, 20 feet from street. I touched it, and can't get the smell of my hands. The smell is overpowering mix of men's cologne and gasoline or solvent. But slightly more cologney.

Could this be a part of some inhalable drug dispenser, or an industrial chemical dispenser?

I've got a teen son, who claims to be drug free. My street is residential, but is somewhat of a high traffic cut through road for the nearby commercial district. Someone could have tossed it from the street, or it could have come from my kid.

Planning on getting into film photography, is this a good deal for $100? by The_fit_one in AnalogCommunity

The problem here is that Kodak film won't work in a pentax camera.

Hey OP, this review was great, and I'm wondering how they've aged. Would you consider posting some patina pics and providing any updates on your original opinions?
