Doge is my worst one tbh, but since it was $5 it's more of an entertainment scenario

I grew up in a progressive city in a gerrymandered-to-hell swing state. Cheeto's first win promptly sent me into a tailspin there. I've moved a handful since but now find myself in MT 80 miles from the border, you know, just in case.

Red up here is different than red down there. There it was like rubbing salt in the wound, here it's quite obviously because there aren't enough people to know any different.

I'm nonbinary and have been laid off in Florida about it, so I no longer disclose that information professionally. It's not the most pleasant, but hey, hiding in plain sight is a really good way to see what's coming down the pike.

I do it accidentally all the time. Hopefully an eventful update will address it.

Hose timer/valve that is on/off for specific time? (self.homeimprovement)
submitted 6 months ago by vivavideri to c/homeimprovement

We have a motion activated sprinkler to deter deer from eating our tomatoes and I'm looking for a timer that will shut off the water flow during the day. The ones I've seen at the store seem to only want to water intermittently, instead of completely off/on. Does anyone know of one?

Cleaning engine bay/ miscellaneous crannies (self.mechanicadvice)
submitted 9 months ago by vivavideri to c/mechanicadvice

So, that insight we bought last September so far seems mechanically sound, but, so, so dirty. I'm not sure how best to approach it but waiting till spring because our garage is not heated and it's cold as shit up here in MT.

My biggest concern is safely removing all the little mouse poops that are literally everywhere except in the cabin. I fashioned a cardboard cone with gorilla tape to our shitty shop vac to clean out the spare tire well but I'll probably need a smaller cylinder to reach them in the engine bay and battery compartment. On top of that it seems like dirt/dust is underneath all the trim. I believe the previous owner lived off a gravel/dirt road. It's the kind of dirt that doesn't wipe away the first time, and I don't want to ruin the dash/plastic/vinyl miscellany with harsh chemicals.

Insight is mostly aluminum so I need to double check cleaning methods to avoid. I've taken dish soap+bronze/plastic brushes to the back of the wheels (also aluminum)but sandpaper has been better. Haven't touched the front of the wheels with the sandpaper as it seems to have a gloss coat of some sort on it and would prefer to have its replacement on hand before removing it.

Ideas?

okay, this time I actually need mechanic advice. (imgur.com)
 

I think it defaults as muted but I included sound. Pardon the party music, the construction guys near the parking lot were having a blast today lol. Anyway. It's been cold as fuck the past couple days and this noise only happens on start after sitting several hours cold. I'm guessing either starter or belts but haven't gone investigating yet.

Snow tires kicked ass this morning. Didn't slip once. First snow of the year and they hadn't plowed yet.
