I still see people parroting these narratives about stuff like weed even after it has been legalized. Some people are too far down the propaganda rabbit hole.

Yes

This was somewhat of a plot point in a season of Discovery.

Also wouldn’t the argument apply to subscribing as well? Consumers may not understand the consequences of subscribing to said service. Therefore, “click to subscribe” should also be banned.

No I wish with how often I buy from them. I just love to share good valued things with others since we’re typically inundated with companies trying to fleece us from all directions.

Yeah you can absolutely just take it there to fix the exhaust issue. They’re more setup for that type of work so it’ll probably be cheaper too.

If your underbody is all rusty then you very well may need all this stuff done, which is super unfortunate as these vehicles are otherwise some of the most reliable out there.

If you can take care of some of this on your own, you can find high quality OE or OE equivalent parts on RockAuto alongside the cheap stuff you’d find at Autozone (what they’re referring to). It’s nice as they break stuff out into “cheap” (economy) and “quality” (daily driver/premium) parts and all the prices are still excellent. I’ve bought numerous Motorcraft and Toyota branded parts for our vehicles from them.

Some of those seem like insane repairs. Leaf spring replacement? Steering rack replacement? Do you live in the rust belt by chance? If not, I don’t see why these would need any work unless they’ve been physically damaged in a crash or something.

Is your engine a 4.7L V8? If not, you have a timing chain that shouldn’t ever need to be replaced. The 4.7L was the only engine that had a timing belt on the Tundra in 2007, which do need to be replaced since they can easily wear out.

A lot of the other parts seem like reasonable items to repair, but their prices are crazy high.

$15 per spark plug plus labor? I just did my spark plugs and think I paid $5 each for OEM quality iridium plugs from RockAuto.

Front struts only need to be replaced if you notice that they’re leaking.

An alignment is needed only if replacing suspension components or you notice uneven tire wear or the vehicle pulling to the left/right.

Exhaust - $700 to clamp (!) a small section of pipe seems incredibly steep

Wheel bearing and struts: prices for these parts are about double what you can buy OEM quality parts for on your own.

What repairs are needed on a Toyota with under 100k miles and who is performing the work? This sounds like a dealership service department trying to push you into buying a new car. I just rolled over 200k on my Camry and haven’t needed any repairs outside of normal maintenance with fluid changes, brakes, and the like.

They didn’t name the node size after the guy they named it after the unit since it’s approaching sub-nanometer node size.

You’d have to flash new firmware for that to change. In the old days each phone was carrier specific and had to have the exact right firmware but now they’re fairly generic and are cross compatible (do your own research). You could check XDA Developers for the process.

Looks like they sell them on Amazon and some .UK site but I only see them for $65

I do this too. Any junk that might be sellable but likely not goes to Goodwill so they can deal with it. The decent items go to a local thrift shop that actually helps the community.

The jobs training program where they hire people with disabilities and then pay them below minimum wage because of a loophole in the law?

This is like two stumbling drunk parents arguing over who’s better to drive everyone home and telling the kids “shut up you’re not helping!” when they suggest taking a cab.

It’s a place for software that comes from a broken home and would otherwise be hanging out on the street in high-crime areas.

I’m thinking no.

The one comment that unites both liberals and conservatives in their hatred of the left.

My only gripe with this is with anime like Bleach. Each episode is 3 minutes of recap, 12 minutes of actual show, and 5 minutes of credits and the outro scenes that have nothing to do with the story. It’s somewhat infuriating to watch a recap of something that happened 10 minutes ago 4-5 times an hour.

Apart from that I don’t mind them as there is so much content out there and many shows are doing weekly releases, making it easy to forget details.

Murder She Wrote was made with old people as the target demographic and old people have terrible memories. I imagine this greatly cuts down on the “Who is that person?” “Where is she driving to?” “When are they going to catch the killer?” type questions one generally hears when watching an episode of anything for the first time with their elderly parents.
