Yup, i havent been able to mute in a long time. Tried all the buttons, multiple buttons at once, etc. The worst ones are the ones blasting whatever that stupid “fuel pump show” is that talks about what’s going on in the pop world with “famous” people ive never even heard of, or stupid “life hacks” that arent…

Shouldnt suprise you but…US. (Possibly other countries) Years ago they started adding video screens to display certain things, so as natural progression goes….there’s a screen so there will be ads. Loud-as-shit video ads that play as soon as you start pumping. And when no one is at the pumps they cycle silent ad slideshows.

Nope. White are real people, too. You respawn white back at the beginning (i think you have the option to, so you could stay red as well) if you managed to find all the glyphs. Ive been the White Traveler lots of times.

That’s not a truck, though. That’s in the main BX food court…like on most military installations. Along with a Poppeyes, Subway, Charlies, Panda Express, Starbucks, Baskin-Robins….etc etc etc

There’s also one about this size in Hawai’i, on Oahu. The main shopping mall there is two separate buildings and you can use this little automated tram to go back and forth between the two, for free. If i remember right, the buildings were in a way that you couldnt really walk from one to the other, so either get in your car for like a 2min drive, or take this tram.

Why does no one peel their shrimp before putting them in dishes to cook? They are so much easier to peel raw and then you arent trying to scoop a shrimp out, messily peel it while covered in sauce or whatever, then you put it back in and then try to eat…Like, the legs are still on here…so you’re likely gonna have random shrimp legs in some bites… Even if the shrimp you got are pre-cooked, just peeling them during prep makes enjoying the final product waaaay better.

Ha, as i was typing that i considered the possibility your car might be a diesel, but decided otherwise….go figure! But ya, as the others have said, there is also diesel stabilizers, but diesel does have a longer life span. Putting a stabilizer in wont hurt anything, so personally, id put it in anyways just to be safe….

Yeah, for the most part. The other commenter is right about that battery, tho. Disconnecting the battery will help, but depending on the type and age of the battery (and temperatures in the storage area) the battery might still not last. Trickle charger might be ideal here, even just a little solar panel for it.

Gas in the tank is another thing. There might be conflicting opinions on how best to handle this, but- I would run the tank as empty as practical, then fill it up completely (so you have all fresh gas) and add a stabilizer. Most stabilizers will keep the gas good for 1-2 years. Best to make sure its an Ethanol stabilizer (like Sta-Bil 360), unless you put pure gas in. Then make sure to drive it a little so the stabilized gas gets into the whole fuel system.

Otherwise, give it a good wash and then a cover for it if you can if it’ll be outside in the elements. Depending on the storage environment, things could still start growing on it, inside and out.

Same here, lived in a few different states and usually never got out of the first “tier” pricing bracket (where this billing method was used), so my water bills were pretty much to the penny the same every month.

Im gonna be the AkShUalLy guy here and say this isnt always the case…. There are shower controls that turn on immediately to full pressure and then adjust for temp as you keep turning, no way to actually control the water pressure without just having fully cold water. These have been around forever…

I installed a newer Delta one in my house a few years ago (2021 or so). They now have a feature where the water temperature is always whatever you set it- no fluctuations of scalding water when someone flushes a toilet or random freezes if someone turns on hot water elsewhere in the house. Or even 2 showers/baths fighting for hot water at the same time. So it’s like an auto-adjusting thing that happens inside that requires max input pressure to work right. Of course, i always want max water pressure, so this was a win-win for me!

To note- this wasnt a crazy expensive, high-end model…it was basically what most of the single knob/lever shower controls are now.

Yup, that’s it. I remember now being told it was ice crystals or water droplets or something that caused the effect, like that article explains
