I have 2 rock chips and one crack that is starting to expand, so I guess it’s time to get the windshield swapped out.

My van is a 2014. Safelite is quoting $370 while the local shop my dealer refers out to says $525 with factory glass.

Does anyone have any experience with safelite windshields on a ford transit connect?

I purchased a kitchen item on Mercari using credit from something I sold.

The seller marked the item as shipped two days before actually dropping it off and overcharged for shipping.

The best part is that while the item was described as being in immaculate condition it was not. The non-stick coating is failing, making the item unusable.

Mercari declined my return request because the outside of the item looked fine, and stated that I should have asked the seller more questions to determine the condition. What question was there to ask? The seller described it as being immaculate.

Since I paid with Mercari credit I can’t do a chargeback, so I’m stuck with garbage.

I’ve had Google fiber for a few months and it’s been great.

Today I started talking in a customer meeting and my internet went down. Some google fiber contractor is trying to fix some other person’s problem and disconnected my drop.

Advance auto closing stores

Question/Recommendation

I stopped by a carquest on main street in wake forest yesterday because I noticed that it was going out of business. Some parts were as much as 90% off.

Does anyone know if any other carquest/advance auto stores in the area are closing?

We have a delonghi magnifica esam3300 that is starting to be inconsistent, so I’m thinking of an upgrade.

My wife is the primary user with mostly decaf americanos.

I have a slight bias towards delonghi since this machine has been such a workhorse. I bought it from a thrift shop 6 years ago ago, cleaned and lubed it, and it’s been working great since.

I have seen that some higher end machines have swappable hoppers. Are any of them actually good? It seems that there would still be beans in the chute after the hopper change.

My big concern is making sure that my wife can easily brew a strong 14 ounce americano. We don’t do a lot of milk-based drinks so an automatic milk system is not

I recently migrated from an amplifi HD to an amplifi alien. I liked the group restriction functionality that turned off wifi for specific devices on a schedule.

I am on the latest firmware (4.0.5) and the restrictions are not being applied on schedule. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hey! I just bought a couch today in youngsville and need someone to move it to my place just south of the farmers market. It will take two strong people as it’s pretty heavy. There is a set of stairs on each end.

Other than a U-Haul, are there any businesses that specialize in moves like this? AllSmallHauls is a name I’ve heard before but their last FB post says they are closed.

Kids setting fire in schools

Question/Recommendation

I got an email today from my kids’ principal that they had to evacuate due to someone setting a fire in the bathroom. I know this happened at least once last year. Is this just something that happens around here?

I typically pay for an oil change because I hate crawling under cars. This morning I was getting my other car’s oil changed and I noticed the oil change place used a vacuum pump to pull the oil instead of removing the drain plug and letting gravity do the work. I hadn’t heard of that before, so I started doing research and found out that it is considered acceptable on many engines. I was impressed that the pump appeared to get all 5 quarts that my other car is supposed to hold. I read that some engines don’t work for extraction due to baffles or check valves and such things. Does anyone know if the 2.5 used in 2014 transit connect minivans works ok with an oil extraction device?
