Re: EV Uh oh?!.....there is an issue with electric vehicles (EVs) this time of year..... - 8 months ago

I saw the blurb on NBC. We'll be sticking with our 2015 Prius that charges as we drive and brake, no grid draw while charging. It's too soon for the masses to be in EV's. Solid state batteries, solid electrolyte instead of the liquid or polymer gel electrolytes, are on the horizon so I've been told.

Re: One more: IKEA to cut prices next year - 8 months ago

My wife and son were in the Charlotte Ikea recently for the first time in about 4 years and she said it's basically the same stuff they had 4 years. Sorry but that's not going to cut it in the US. There's no draw to get you back in the store.

Re: Not a good day. My car's engine destroyed itself this morning. - 8 months ago

QuoteAllGold Yes, macphanatic, a 2012 Equinox, with a 4-cyl 2.4L Ecotech engine. Another design flaw of those engines is they made the rings too small so it burns oil like crazy and gets worse as it gets older. You can't let the oil level get too low because the timing chain tensioner is run by oil pressure and low oil pressure means the timing chain will slip--another way to destroy the engin

Quotejdc Looks nice. Project farm just did a little test Too bad he didn't test a Vornado we have two and I know 1500 watts is supposed to be 1500 watts of heat but they have a way of moving heat better than any heater we've ever had. Got them at a surplus place for $40 each.

Re: What Were We Thinking? The Top Ten Most Dangerous Ads. - 8 months ago

We had a bottle of mercury in the home where I was raised. We would pick it up when Mom and Dad weren't around and sometimes a little would leak out of the cork stopper and we messed with it. That little bottle weighed I'd say between 1 and 2lbs. Real smart wasn't it.

Re: eBay to pay $3 million fine over harassment campaign - 8 months ago

I've been frequenting the Steiner's eCommerce site for years but not everyday or anything like that but the topics there tell the truth and there's lots of good info there. Problem is eBay doesn't want to hear the truth. My wife has dropped her store down to the minimum like $5/month. She had a decent run of sells during the holidays but each year it seems to get lower and lower. According to her

Re: My old SE kicks my 11Pro's butt as a phone - 9 months ago

I have a 2020 SE and I hate it. Got so mad at the POS while outside one day that I slung it and cracked the screen. The volume through the earpiece or speaker is never loud enough when I need it. The Wi-Fi connects sometimes to the neighbors router instead of mine, no one else in the house has this problem. I just all round hate it. Son is getting a new iPhone so I'm going to take his old XR.

Re: This time of year has become rather grim in the past 2 years (depressing post) - 9 months ago

So sorry to hear of your losses. I can't wrap my head around a Dr. telling someone not to go to the hospital when they were that sick. Sending positive thoughts to you and the family. I had a friend that refused to go to the hospital with Covid and didn't do so until he could no longer get himself to the bathroom by that time it was too late. I lost four friends to this horrible mess.

Re: Arrrg. eBay scam/mistake - 9 months ago

There's still great sellers on eBay, my wife is one of them. I think her feedback is around 6000 and 100% positive right now. If you feel you got scammed it wasn't by eBay it was by a bad seller selling on eBay. eBay will side with you believe me.
