T mobile internet anyone?
Anyone use t mobile internet? Xfinity got way too expensive. Thoughts?
Rust accumulating in washing machine
Two issues:
- A few small spots have small rust up.
- Another spot has a small area where the paint has already flaked off.
What do I do to stop/ fix the rust in both scenarios?
Edit: rust is inside
Kayaking, not hiking, the Navarro River
Anyone ever kayak down the Navarro River? Where’d you start? Any rapids?
Two pots: one for food, one for coffee
Anyone do this? Been thinking about doing this on my upcoming trip. Anyone find using the same pot for both kind of gross? Small pots are light enough to where weight isn’t a real issue.
Skinny, vertical roll top stuff sacks
I can’t find these. Think of the shape of the bag a tent comes in. I need to replace mine but would like to compress things. Recommendations?
30ish Home Depot moving boxes
They’re in the garage. I can help load them if needed.
Oil change question
2022 Tiguan and need an oil change. Outside warranty, won’t be going to dealership. Do VWs really need to be taken to a German specialist just for an oil change? Are there specifics that these specialists do that a Jiffy Lube can’t when just doing an oil change?
Do you need a day permit for Lake Aloha?
Do day permits need to be reserved prior? Or do you just get one when you start at Echo Lake? Planned on getting there around 6:30am. How do I get one at that time?
Thoughts on the LA warehouse fire?
Preparation is a great practice to grasp, but when you live in a dense area like LA/Southern California things may be a bit more complicated. When biohazards from rotting meat persist, toxic smoke that rains down chemicals from the miscellaneous unnatural products on tens on millions of people who are cornered geographically, a plethora of more complications start.
White Noise could be realistic portrayal someday, but that was not set in LA/Southern California.
Anyone ever sit in their backyard at night, in complete darkness?
Growing up, my dad would always smoke a cigar in our backyard as soon as the twilight disappeared. I don’t smoke but last night I sat in our backyard, in darkness, with complete silence. There was no household noise, no household light pollution, just silence and darkness.
I haven’t experienced anything more relaxing since my kid was born. By far one of the best lessons I learned from my dad without a direct teaching.
39M Any old/original hipsters?
Any original hipsters? I’m talking about the kind of old hipster before the skinny black jeans and plaid. I’m talking about the kind of old hipsters who are comparable to the hippies before the peace sign became a trend and tie dye was the rage. The kind of old hipsters who try to find the time to go to shows but either there’s no time because of your family responsibilities or you don’t have the physical capacity to stand for 2+ hours. The kinds of original hipsters who recall when latte art was an art, not a half ass psychological way to mask the shitty taste of a shop’s coffee. The kind of old hipsters who have adult responsibilities.
I wish I had more time for hobbies, but my main three are eating, hiking, and playing with my daughter.
I know y’all are out there. The days of being cool are long gone. But who can forget?
Disability Determination from state to federal review
This is a national purge of the DDS to move all CDR cases out of state review and into federal review. I’m in CA and was tentatively offered the federal role without an interview or any further communication past the application submission. Pay is a huge increase but with a significant increase in commute time.
The claims adjudicators have different labels in different states, but I’ll just use CA’s. Any DEAs accept this offer? You feel the federal handcuffs are more golden than the state? With CA?
House cleaning service
Anyone know of a good house cleaning service? Everything from deep cleans to minimal cleans.
