The scammers must be changing up their approaches as in the last 2 weeks I've had two separate strangers reach out to me on Facebook hawking their investment groups - Crest Margins and energyventure.net. They found me as I'll occasionally post in a FIRE group. The guy from Crest Margins...

Last year we moved and the house we bought has an outdoor gas connection for a grill. I bought the appropriate hose and fittings and hooked up my grill to it. I removed the connection from the tank so the regulator wouldn't be in the way as the gas meter has it's own regulator. When I got it...

I have a semi-odd request - is there any convenient way to verify a death in Georgia without an obituary? I don't want to list a name in a public forum but one of the Instagram channels I follow had a woman put a tribute to her firefighter husband who apparently died of an OD earlier this year...

Hey all, figured I'd get some input on solar panels from people who have had them installed or even those who declined. Everlight Solar showed up the other night and the salesman was nice enough but didn't have all the answers we need. Tuesday night the "Senior Energy Consultant" is coming by...

Hey all, wrong forum for GM questions but i know some of you guys have messed around with F-bodies before. I have a buddy who bought a 4th Gen TA last summer and the rear end had some whine going on. He's drove it thru the summer and fall and now says the differential is about to take a shit...

Thanks to my Bing homepage for giving me this wonderful story right away in the morning. Former NYC officer beats and forces his autistic 8 year old son to sleep in the garage in winter and the boy freezes to death - Ex-cop Michael Valva, found guilty of killing son with autism, sentenced I...

VegasMike's thread inspired me to see if anyone would have any knowledge or constructive input. Looking for a bit of strategy. We are closing on our next house next week but the prior owners had requested a rent back until September as they are building. We anticipate listing our current home...

Looking for a buddy who wants to purchase a 96-98 Cobra coupe. Black or red preferred but all colors will be considered. What he's willing to pay would depend on mileage, condition and mods (close to stock as possible preferred). He just sold his 95 5.0 and he wants in the 4V game. He's...

As if 2020 couldn't get worse, the wife went to run the dishwasher last night and of course it wouldn't run. Instead of being able to program the wash cycle and a time showing in the display, all we get is 2 or 3 short lines on the display. Tried unplugging to reset and nothing. Held the...

hey all, last year I purchased a 2013 Nissan Altima from my neighbor. When I was looking through the service records for the work that he previously had done on the car I see that he had a significant amount of rear suspension work done just 3 months before I bought the car. Well, yesterday I...

Yikes, 94 degrees for the high today, hottest day of the year, not a good day to lose 2 substations. Fire at electric substation leaves 13,000 without power in Madison, Wisconsin, amid heat wave - CNN Unfortunately, substation transformers are not easy to come by, a new one to be built would...

Vortech's manual specifically says the following - Well, my neighbor has a high HP Evo and a Z06 and he is an Amsoil preferred customer and he has convinced me to give Amsoil SS a shot in my car. It's a 99 Cobra and has been supercharged for almost 6 years. I have been running Pennzoil...

Hey all, I've mentioned it in various threads over the last 6 months but as of last Friday I am taking on a new role in my life - father! My 8 lb 7 oz, 22" long son Owen made his grand entrance into the world at 4:53 PM on Friday, April 5. It's a long story but I'll sum it up as concise as...

Obviously I know that the markets go up and down but this is really starting to feel like fall of 2008 where it seemed every other day the stock market dropped hundreds of points. I know that at 34 I'm in it for the long haul and have 25 years before I can touch the money tax free, but I...

So my "dream job" became available. This is huge guys, the last guy was on the job for 38 years. Not kidding, he's 74 and never had kids or was married. He was good at his job but it's time for him to retire. He and I had a good working relationship. I have a solid working relationship with the...

So I got an older desktop computer from work for free and figured I'd use it as a spare. It's a Dell Vostro 460 with an i5 and 10 GB of RAM running Windows 7 professional. The onboard graphics are pretty weak so I bought a new video card for it, an XFX Radeon RX580 -...

I'm surprised that there isn't a thread about this but who has read about this case and viewed the video? It seems like this was a terrible misunderstanding and could totally have been prevented. I am neither a cop basher or a blinded cop supporter, I look at each case individually but it sure...

I am in need of a bit of advice from someone familiar with residential wiring. I bought a house 2.5 years ago that has a finished basement and just recently, 4 of the basement outlets stopped working. This is the 3rd time it has happened and the last 2 times the outlets "magically" fixed...

The wife and I saw Only The Brave over the weekend. Highly recommended, Josh Brolin is especially excellent in one of the leading roles as the superintendent of the firefighting crew. Of course they change up some details to have a better story but it's pretty faithful to the real story.

The latest issue of Motortrend came in the mail 2 days ago, it is the annual new car buyers guide issue. They have a run down of the basic info (price/drivetrain layout/engines, etc) of each new car. The Mustang entry seems to have some numbers that I haven't yet heard confirmed. The star next...

While the hood in question is from my 99 Cobra, my understanding is that this a pretty common problem on all 99-04 Mustangs and posting here will get the best response. I upgraded hoods and when removing the old hood one of the studs snapped off. Anyone have a write-up or a short description...

I have a dilemma about my job situation. Currently I work for a small electrical engineering firm (11 employees). I have my engineering license, am paid $74k/yr, have 4 weeks PTO and my job title is engineer 3. I have a an office of my own and I generally like my job, my coworkers, my boss...

A couple of weeks ago my fiancé was rear ended in a very minor traffic accident at about 6 PM on the "beltline" which is the convergence of several highways here in Madison WI. It was in her 2016 Accord which we had just bought 8 months ago. It had snowed earlier in the day and conditions were...

My Vortech supercharged 99 Cobra randomly didn't start tonight. Drove it earlier today, parked on a slight incline and goto start it and it fires for a second and dies. After that it just cranks without starting. There is pressure at the fuel rail, disconnect the battery, read the codes and got...

Hi all, in the near future I will receive "payment" from my future father-in-law for assuming responsibility for his daughter for the rest of my life. The wedding will not be for 13 months yet so I just wanted to check in to see if anyone had any tips on making a few percent on the money in the...
