  • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

    Jump

  • Everything about cars from manufacturing, sales, insurance, repair, registration and taxes. We could just have Public transportation.

  • is it unethical to buy off brand but compatible batteries for power tools?

    Jump

  • I've bought several knockoff tools that work with DeWalt batteries and I have an adapter that lets me use a DeWalt battery in my old craftsman drill.

  • My bluetooth headset lost audio in one side. I slapped the other. It started working again.

    Jump

  • Most likely a poor solder joint.

  • Have you ever had a meltdown because of age verification ?

    Jump

  • I didn't get age verification ever, if I did I just shouldn't use the site. I do get websites that arbitrarily prevent access if you're using a VPN which is highly annoying.

  • This windowless room makes it feel like early morning even though it's 10am

    Jump

  • I disagree and say that it is mid morning as there are only two more hours of morning at 10 am.

  • Is now a bad time to make a big financial move in the US?

    Jump

  • Well it's not going to simultaneously be a bad time to buy and sell.

  • Not sure if this is allowed: Can I get your best pictures of "yep that there's your problem"

    Jump

  • I had a sudden hole in a piston one time, no warning just a massive amount of smoke coming from the blown out breather hose under the hood. I slapped a used piston and new injectors into it and it's still going along.

  • They did an ecu update for more sensitive knock sensing and extended the engine warranty to 15yr/150k. I heard they replaced a ton of engines under warranty, but I can't imagine that they changed much in the engine design. The problem is rod bearings failing and the engine seized. Some analysis showed that there could have still been machining debris in the engine from the factory or overall oiling issues. Lack of maintenance probably plays a factor as well. It looks like they were just poorly designed.

  • 09' - 20' Hyundai Santa Fe, Sonata Hybrid, Tucson, Elantra and Veloster and Kia Forte, Optima Hybrid, Sorento, Soul and Sportage with Theta II 2.4-liter multipoint fuel injection (MPI), 1.6-liter Gamma GDI and 2.0-liter Nu GDI had a class action for engine failures, it's pretty much a guarantee that the engine will fail. I avoided the 3.6L caravan/t&c because they can have camshaft issues. Mine has the older pushrod v6 3.3.

  • I see a 12' for sale near me for $3900 with 181k on it.

  • I wouldn't mind a hybrid if it's possible to replace individual cells like you can with some Prius models or get a range upgrade like you can with earlier Nissan leaf. I also don't mind doing maintenance. We bought a Dodge Grand caravan with 180k last year and I've had to fix quite a bit on it. Fortunately parts are cheap for it and it's easy to work on. My daily driver is a Crown Victoria police interceptor with 230k on it. I'm spending about $35/week on gas at today's prices at about 20mi/gal. I'd like to find something that gets at least mid 30's on the highway.

  • I actually did just contact the $750 Corolla. It has 221k and needs an engine.

  • East Central Illinois near UIUC. I've done engines and transmissions in my garage but also used to work as a mechanic and have done many more. It's much easier with a lift though. I've been shying away from Hyundai/Kia due to their engine problems. While I don't mind doing an engine I would still have to find a good used one, which might be difficult if all of them have bad engines.

  • The problem with that is sellers are asking high prices for high mileage vehicles near me. I might as well double my budget and buy a Prius or Honda insight.

  • What time does the strait of hormuz open?

    Jump

  • 3:50

  • Amazon started hiding ratings for some products

    Jump

  • There's a lot of fakes mixed in with regular inventory because individual sellers can send their products to have Amazon fulfill orders for them and Amazon just mixes inventory all together. This is why I don't buy a lot of name brand stuff from Amazon, especially things like shampoo as you don't know what you're getting.

  • How do I remove bird poop from cement and/or metal surfaces?

    Jump

  • You can get diseases from the poo particles in the air.

  • Amazon kills sideloading in new Fire Sticks (unless you’re a developer)

    Jump

  • I switched from fire stick to onn box and it works good enough and can play emulators. I had to "side load" retroarch as the one in the play store didn't n't work as it wasn't the latest version. All I really care about is smart tube though.
