Today is 8/19, why has my account been charged this early ? Does anyone else experience this ? Is it even worth the phone call ?

...for thrifting, both giving/taking, or just general thrifting.

Trying to keep it to Concord/Manch or in between.....willing to go as far south as Derry/Londonderry.

Thrift, not consignment like that good consignment shop in Bedford

There's no where to put fabric softener. I'm not going to sit next to my washing machine for an hour to hr and 45 min to time adding it at whatever time it's supposed to be added, because different loads take different amounts of time due to sensing, just doesn't make sense and I have no time for it.

The door also locks, so not sure if I could even open it.

I looked into the downy ball, but realized last second that it says not suitable/designed for he washing machines.

the reviews are 50/50 as to whether or not it works, but alas, no one ever mentions their type of washer outside of being HE

anyone with the washing machine find a solution, or know iof the downy ball will work ?

Model# 11020232710 I pulled the manual, and there was no help there, and I know the beads don't really soften fabric, they're more for post washing scent

I do keep a positive balance, just in case...but in Mid July (which for me would be a 3 payment month for every two weeks) They pulled from my account mid July, and the invoice date was 7/30/26.

I just checked again, and they invoiced for 8/13 already.

Is this normal, or has anyone else experienced this ? I may just start paying right before the due date, but more of a pain. It's not really effecting anything, but it's shady as hell to invoice something and date it 1-2 weeks out.....at least in my opinion, and pretty sure it's illegal.

Title says most.

44/m, single, first time home buyer, Disabled Vet (...so probably going w/a va loan rather than a FHA, or whatever the other one that may make sense for me is called.

My goal if to buy/move out of NH Q4 2026 to Q2/Q3 2027.

I already decided to go w/ a mortgage broker, but with how the market has changed in the last 6-8 months, I'm really getting serious about just doing my own build. Is there a service out there that would be offering services to gelp someone navigate the home BUILDING process ?

I have a cousin who did this were her husband, they are very happy. they are unwilling to help/give advice...not sure why, we have a good relationship, I think they're urked that I may be copying them (?) ... but at the end of the day, we all know haw family is.

Going from MA to *hopefully* NC, U.S.

Background : I bought this controller 6 or so months ago. Love it, there a lot to do with it, and haven't really had the time to dive too deep into it, I don't even have specific profiles set for it on the 'ol PS5.

I have not had issue with PC gaming, sometimes I use DSX, sometimes I don't, but I'm always conscience of ensuring whatever that setting is in Steam (enable steam input) for every Game.

I also don't mess much with DSX settings, there's so many, I haven't really looked into it, same reason I haven't set profiles on the PS yet, I'm just a busy dude.

About two weeks ago, I went to work on one of my playthroughs of RDR2(PC), and right when I log into Arthur, half the time he'll automatically draw his pistol AND SHOOT. this is the only instance this happens, but if I draw, he shoots automatically. Same with RDR1 (PC). I really haven't had the time to see if this is also happening on the PlayStation.

after messing w/ DSX and finding the RAW INPUT DATA, the sticks *with games shut down) are jittery..not crazy or all over the place, but jittery. Obviously I am unable to verify this if DSX is shutdown, however the problem persists in the game(s) anyway.

I tried the "reset the controller w/ a paperclip" option, no dice

....I'm also relatively new to using a controller w/ PC/Steam games, but really haven't had issues since.

....and yes I bought it around 6 months ago, but have used it pretty minimally.

Any help or advice would really be appreciated, thank you in advance

I have a 2018 silverado 1500 LT, 5.3L 6 speed

I just came across some used tires that are 14/32"....so essential;l they're brand new.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these tires, and if they would be a good fit.

This should be my last New England winter

I live on a dirt road.

I do not tow, or offroad

I do plan on moving soon, so am concerned about weight limit (even though the door sticker says max load 811Lbs, including passengers (which I find kind of odd for a 1500).

Goodyear Wrangler workhorse all terrain

P265 65 r18 T

the game doesn't shut down, it just hangs out w/ a black screen when trying to get back to the main menu.

Experiencing this a lot since new update, just want to make sure it's not just me.

EDIT : I'm personally playing on PC, my son plays on PS5

Another issue I'm getting (on PC, running a 4060 w/ 64GB of RAM) is sometimes over times, my screen (graphics) will start to look grainey...and progressively get worse. A simple Alt-Tab to a different window seems to clear it up, but another performance issue I've noticed since the new update....just sayin'...otherwise I'd call it a successful launch.

sorry for being late to the party....

.....usually when the internet gets really crazy of over hot chicks, I dismiss...asking myself who is she and why is she famous....99% of those answers usually end up in wasted time, question my own personal existence, or wondering how come this person is making so much money and I am NOT ()knowing that I work hard).

For me, the exception is now Sydney Sweeny. For awhile, in the beginning when the internet started making a fuss, I though she was AI, I really did ! 😄

Though I typically do great on keeping up w/ HBO shows (even though over the last 1/4 century they have made horrible choices on cancelling....let's say Deadwood and Vinyl as an example), I had dismissed Euphoria as a chick show......Kind of like Weeds (though showtime).

just a few episodes into the first season, and damn .....seems to even have good writing

I'm in NH

I had to buy a vehicle, the get device installed, get the vehicle inspected, take a written and road test. This was done in January, right around the time we had that big national storm.

The dealership I went to couldn't do the inspection so they offered to bring it to another location. I explained to them in depth (as I obviously didn't have my license back yet.

He blew, but for some reason refused to do the retest.

there was no lock out, but I just got a summons to go to a hearing of "failure to retest".

This summons, also had his picture, clearly not me, and there was about a week of a window in between this and actually getting my license back.

Am I screwed ? I plan on going to the dealership to get a letter in their letterhead saying it was them and not me.

5.3L, 6 speed tranny, 50K miles

Bought the truck in early Feb. About caught up on a fluid, just need the two differentials and transfer case at this point. Did a tranny job (not just fluid change, dropped the pan, new filter, new gasket, new fluid - Valvoline synthetic).

Throughout my own research, I keep hearing -

Get a 6L90 Torque converter - I have no idea what this is as I'm not a mechanic. Is this really necessary, and if so....will it help prolong the life of the truck ?

Oil catch can - Same questions, see above

Thermal bypass for tranny - same questions, see above.

I am a 100% disabled vet, love the truck, but REALLY Need it to last as long as possible. I know there are a lot of horror stories about the tranny (my biggest concern, which is why I got the job done first), but I know if religiously taken care of (after digging deeper, many say that these are horror stories and it's not as bad as it sounds....as long as you do the 3k/3month oil changes and stay on top of the tranny).

I also got the Range AFM disabler and have been using it since (my) day one (can't vouch for previous owner).

last question - Not many, but some have said to NOT keep it in Auto (as far as 4 wheel dr), as it wears the hell out of your drive train....this one is a little new to me. I kept it in auto for the remainder of the winder (New England), and the plan was to keep it in 2 hi for the summer, switching back to auto during the winter. I'm hearing that it's best to keep it in 2hi forever, unless weather (or fun) conditions require the adjustment and just throw it into 4hi. Does anyone have thoughts on this one ?

Sorry for the long winded post.

44/m, single

About 10 years ago I was with a pretty nice girl but we were just straight up incompatible (early 80's millenials - we both knew it and moved on)

Throughout this relationship, she turned me onto Himalayan salt lamps. I never believed her claims but bought a couple anyway....benefits being keeping dust down, ionizing the air or whatever...... but I got into them.

I'm in old, old New England, the bldg I live in was erected waaay before George washing was president, in NH...and I live on a dirt road.

I actually beleive that these things help as far as dust, air quality, and even just overall moral really.

I really only have two questions that I'm looking for some help w/

1. I always got from amazon, but by staying on the same price point avg per lamp (25-40 USD/ea) I get varying levels of quality on t6he lamps ( strickly that salt part. Can anyone reccomend a better way to shop ? keywords or something ?

2. my lamp fixtures keep going out (NOT bulbs/lamps) but the actual fixture that you squeeze in there to ensure the bulb illuminates the lamp (no pun, I promise). Is there a more stable fixture ? I feel like I have to buy 2-3 fixtures just to keep these thing illuminated/ yr.

Thanks

10 years ago I bought true 550 milspec......just about totally out.

About 5 years ago I bought more paracord (I believe it was paracord world, but don't quote me). Once I open the package, it screamed, " not milspec". 😞

I'm looking for the most reliable OG 550lb rated milspec paracord, I believe it's exclusively nylon. Yes I have searched this community but half of the recommended site sold me crap.

I want to attempt to make a cargo net for my truck
