    Question with an electrician visit today

    Seems shortsighted to forget about the tens of millions of non wifi openers. For my Chevy Bolt I was able to buy a generic 3rd party module and install it. Almost looks like it came from the factory.

    Question with an electrician visit today

    Honda likes to gate keep Homelink behind higher trim levels. I bought a 2006 Honda Accord EX that did NOT come with homelink. You had to buy a 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 to get homelink. The wiring harness was in place for homelink but the part was VIN controlled. Honda would only let you...

    Question with an electrician visit today

    My guess is you have a rolling code garage door opener. As part of the new install the electrician cleared any existing openers. Since you mentioned the original openers the electrician should have ensured they continued to work. It will take about 20 seconds per device to get them to work...

    New Apartment/hunting tips & tricks

    Around here carpet only exists in the apartments that were not built or renovated in the last 10 years. Rental houses are transitioning away from carpet as well. For better or worse, carpet is being replaced with LVT.

    New Apartment/hunting tips & tricks

    Many apartments around here require you to use their utility payment service. If that is the case count on $20-$50 a month in extra fees. Many apartments around here will offer you a credit building program where they will report your payment history to one or more of the credit bureas. I...

    Has concerts gotten more expensive now these days?

    In my opinion yes. The prices would have risen but not at the same rate they have since people stopped buying physical music media.

    Has concerts gotten more expensive now these days?

    Rarely is it a single reason something happens. I think it makes sense that the artists and studios in an attempt to close the revenue gap created by the shift to streaming targeted concerts, something the artists and studios continue to control. The willingness of people to pay may set the...

    Has concerts gotten more expensive now these days?

    I heard one explanation that made sense to me. In the past people bought albums, singles, CDs, etc every month and the artist and studio got a lot of money. Now people pay for a streaming service and the artists and studio get much less money. To make up the difference the artists have...

    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    I don’t understand having a shared range bag. I have a dedicated range bag. It never goes anywhere other than the range. It is a minimal cost to eliminate many potential problems.

    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    My question is, if flying with only ammunition does it have to be declared to the airline? If the answer is yes then TSA missed the ammunition. If no then TSA did not miss the ammunition. Neither the TSA pages nor the airline pages make it clear. They always seem to assume if traveling with...

    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    I was looking at the wording on Americans and Deltas sites and an NRA article on traveling with firearms.

    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    The wording on the TSA site is not totally clear because it always assume if you are traveling with ammunition you are also traveling with a firewarm but I believe just ammunition by itself must be declared to the airline. It should also be in its original packaging or in a container designed...

    Have you looked at your school records?

    Never occured to me to attempt to look at my school records.

    Here's why you should get a passport.

    It was easy for Kaiser to say she should have negotiated, they were in their office. But as you said the option was to pay or not get treated. She was told not getting treated had a high probability of death.

    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    TSA misses from 40-70% of the test guns they send through security themselves.

    Here's why you should get a passport.

    Maybe if she had gone to a local hospital it would have been cheaper but DCL arranged for her to go to a hospital that catered to western tourists. But it would have all been avoided with a $10 antibiotic prescription back in Los Angeles prior to leaving the US.

    Here's why you should get a passport.

    Here is my cruise medical emergency / passport story. My family and the in-laws spent half a week in Los Angeles prior to getting on a DCL Mexican Riviera cruise back in 2008. During our time in LA my mother in law was apparently sick but didn't want to be a bother so she just powered on...

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/23 poll - Stencils 🔠🔢

    For crafters they are game changing. My wife and daughter both make class shirts each year. No expensive scissors could cut the patterns of iron on vinyl that the cricut cuts.

    Thoughts on the changes WDW/DL are making to the DAS pass?

    Like anything in life, a small number of people not following the rules makes it difficult for another small number of people.
