Preventative maintenance on the A/C compressor?
In my Gen 2 (2007) with 215,000 miles, the A/C compressor has become buzzy. Should i have a mechanic check refrigerant levels, or perform any other proactive tests associated with the compressor unit?

Anyone else going to the reunion?

Had my left front wheel bearing replaced last week and suddenly I'm getting the ((!)) ABS VSC light anytime I go over a rough patch of road. The codes are:
C0200- RF sensor
C0205 - LF sensor
C1235 - LF debris (?)
C1245 - Foreign Object Attached on Tip of Front Speed Sensor RH (Right Front)" or a signal disturbance from the right front wheel speed sensor
C1253 - Hydro pump motor relay malfunction
C1256 - Low accumulator pressure
I know my brake actuator is starting to bleed off a bit. Can someone help me make sense of the codes here? I just had this car looked over by a hybrid specialist last month.

I like the duochrome of Misfits but am not sure I like the magnet look. Do these polishes work without that?
Last month I saw an ILPN ad on Facebook and ordered some on a binge: High Dive, Sweet Tooth, Cupid (didn't like the color sadly), and Flower Child. I was in a summery mood that day. 😏
Well UH OH.
Clearly there's a preferred color preference here. I have a dozen or so reds/pinks/magentas in OPI and I'd like to replace them because they chip badly on me and nail polish has never been "worth it" because of that.
I have never--and I mean NEVER--spent this kind of money on nail polish. I know I could wait for Black Friday but I'll miss the fall color season if I do. I have a pain disorder and for the last 25 years, I've used dermatillomania to cope with it. This unfortunately affected the health of my nails so I could never really wear polish for long stretches because my nails broke horribly. Last month I stopped through sheer willpower and I'm so proud of myself. So I'm going to celebrate.
Honestly I like solids and wish ILPN made more of them but I think this is a nice mix. Anything in here that's extra awesome or not worth the money? I think I'm most excited about Closure, Velvet Rope, and Closure. A little on the fence with Sunkissed.
-- I have some lavenders and teals in OPI that I wear on occasion, but not with enough frequency to replace. 😏
Not sure how to flair this but I've been reading a lot of people giving advice that the boutique solids aren't worth it. I'm brand new to ILNP and bought a boutique color. It stayed in for a SOLID WEEK without chipping. My OPI polish always chip within 24 hours and I get no more than 4 days out of them. I was flabbergasted. All of my polish are OPI and if ILNP Boutique solids all have the same staying power, heck, I'm going to replace as many as I can.
Can someone spill the tea on this?
For the record, I use an Orly basecoat and Seche Vita topcoat.
Can someone swatch these, or have a side by side comparison? I'm brand new to INLP and am trying to decide which to order!
Really don't want to invest in materials only to find out I can't actually cut something--like the 4-ply matboard experiment gone wrong. I'm not sure if mylar and PET plastic are the same thing (are one of these the same as acetate?) but this seems to be what Google recommends for stencils. I'd like as thick as possible; is 10mm too thick for a 2mm blade? These materials seem to range from 4mm to 14mm.
Any stencil-saavy advice would be awesome!

Compared to Hamburg/Morgantown, Oaks, Hershey, Carlisle, and Altoona, where does this one stand? I was super disappointed in Carlisle this summer...bunch of junk tables and flippers. Thinking about going to Mid-Atlantic in Lebanon in September but don't want to pay for an AirBnB if it's the same.

Recently (June) had a stuck brake pin, transmission flush, and brake flush. Last week had a loose wheel bearing replaced. Was told that the brake actuator is bleeding off a little bit but not to replace it until it fails.
Today I noticed a pronounced shake upon starting the car -- it always rattles but this was a SHAKE -- and ran these codes. No idea what it means.
There is a pronounced loud buzzing outside of the car when turning on the A/C unit. I'm not sure if this is just A/C or if it happens with anything connected to then heating unit. It seems to happen most on startup; right now I'm in a parking lot on idle and nothing. There are no dash lights.

Video lasted 22 seconds, and the shake was about double that. I have had every conceivable repair done on this car.
I have medium length hair and love all the attachments -- especially the Large round brush. My mom wants to try the Airwrap but she has a short pixie-style cut and uses a traditional hairdryer with a small round row brush.
I assume the round attachments on the Airwrap are just for curling, not drying. I wish they made size 0.5"-1.0" round for super short hair. Are there any branded or knockoff brushes like this? I didn't see anything thin except the round curlers on the Dyson site.
I already have chronic fatigue but four days into Slynd it's like slamming into a cement wall. All I can do is sleep. I just looked up contraindications and adrenal insufficiency is one of them. Incidentally, I'm scheduled for a cortisol stimulation test in September and am wondering if I should even be taking this right now??
I also read it can mess with the processing if electrolytes, but not how. I do take step by electrolytes and don't know if I should be lessening or increasing them.
Super frustrated that as ALWAYS, doctors don't consider the larger picture or discuss side effects anymore. The reason we chose Slynd was because it is progestin-only to try to balance out high testosterone. Formerly I was taking Sprintec but had a lot of spotting without any regularity.
I'm a longtime reptile owner, and have been prepping adopt an AFT soon. I have a bioactive enclosure with appropriate light / heat / substrate.
Would love any tips or advice from keepers. Anything at all. Personality, handling, enrichment, favorite hides, etc. and of course post a picture of your AFT too. 🙂

I tried my best to capture the sound on video, but it's extremely difficult over the typical road noise. At the end, if you listen over it, you can kind of hear the whine. I had Butler Hybrid in Pittsburgh give me an all clear recently, but I worry that has the car has gotten older, this whine has become more pronounced. It becomes higher, pitched the faster. The car goes, and clearly decelerates as the car slows, which means it must either be engine or wheel related.
As a brief history, I've had pretty much every part of this car replaced and rebuilt over the years. Aside from engine work or head gasket, it's had a lot of major repairs, including the water pump and the aux water pump. Is this just normal noise for an aging car or is there something I should be more concerned about?
Wiki says "This episode is loosely based on a true story that occurred in Miami in the 1970s." Anyone know what that was?
I did a test with a 1 mm blade and got pretty close with full extension and full force, multiple cuts and speed of one. But I couldn't quite get there. I did read that people struggle with this, but I'm wondering if I should purchase a 2 mm and give it a try? It would be a lot cheaper than hiring someone with a laser cutter at one dollar per minute. I'm trying to create stencils for my kindergarten class.
