  • Nothing changed. The only reason that was ever a position was because they were framing biden/harris as warhawks, whereas trump is so smart and cool he’d just talk his way out of needing war. None of that was for preservation of life or the betterment of humanity, it was a money thing (huh, crazy how this almost always happens with “fiscal convervatives”), but now that he’s in there, the hogs will approve whatever he does.




  • Fishlake’s picture is good. The heat exchanger (tower fan thing) is on the outside, but some units have the blower (hamster wheel that pushes the air through your vents) outside too. More often just the heat exchanger is outside and “air handler” (box with the blower and the thermostat and the furnace) is inside the house in a basement, crawl space, or attic.

    If the HVAC outside is a giant rectangle thats wider than it is tall, its also got the blower, but if the HVAC outside is taller than it is wide, the blower is inside the house somewhere.


  • If you can get to the actual blower, there should be a metal tray with a pipe dripping into it (or just a pipe sticking off the side if the blower is part of the outside part of the HVAC system). Especially on hot, humid days with the air conditioning running, it should be dripping pretty consistently. If it gets clogged (dirt, bugs, etc) the condensed water has nowhere to go and rests in the part thats blowing air around. If you think this may be it, you can try to free it with an unwound coat hangar (depends on how its installed as to how feasible this actually is to do). You’ll know pretty quick if the smell is coming from that.












  • Neighbor was looking for a car for her daughter and wanted me to look at a used CX-5 once. It was an AWD with like 70k miles that they wanted 19.5K for. It was in decent shape, no leaks, no dry rotted ball joint boots, minor cosmetic scratches in the paint, but it had 3 different brands of tire on it and one of them was bald with literal chunks taken out of it. This is bad on any car, let alone an awd where different TREAD patterns on each tire can wear out the AWD faster. Also really needed an alignment.

    I also pulled the back seat up (highly recommend doing this on any used car, it reveals the secrets you can’t vacuum out of the carpet) and found cheerios, fries, and a bullet.

    Told the sales guy we’d pay 18 if they put a set of four good, matching tires on it and aligned it and he was like “well, we’re a volume dealer so we only make a few hundred dollars on each car”. BS.

    On a separate experience, i went with a friend who very much could have been my partner and paying for this car and he literally didnt acknowledge her the whole tome. Then I had the sales manager yell at me across the shop floor as I was leaving to take thousands off the price since he “had to move cars this month”.
