Anyone seen this happen?
2010 crv

Maintenance minder is 15% B2 service. Service done and light reset.
Next day. Maintenance minder is 15% A1 service.

[Badhobz]

those clowns probably just didnt reset the reminders correctly.

i hope you can reset them yourself without taking a trip to the dealer. Good thing about all toyota / lexus product is that you can reset those stupid things


Does anyone else like to build plastic model airplanes? i got this for 23 bucks off amazon and found it pretty fun to build. I didnt paint it / place emblems / put on weapon systems yet but the aircraft is done

I prefer LEGO model kits:



But these custom kits are extremely expensive - custom printing, fancy packaging, limited numbers, etc.

You’re looking at just over US$1k for this

[Badhobz]

wtf! thats epic

For planes 1/32 Scale

Ships 1/350 Scale

Well it’s done. It’s kinda crappy kit but what can you do for 23 bucks.
I was trying to find the old American revell kit that I used to make when I was a kid but no such luck.

These custom kits are nuts, and the problem is a lot of these sellers are a crapshoot in terms of what kind of quality you are getting.

Lego's rule on not creating any weapons means you'll never see that from Lego officially. They made the Osprey V22 helicopter and there was backlash over it because it's a military only aircraft

i went to church's chicken for that 3 piece special. it was 17 dollars after taxes

Since when is it 15.99 for 3 pieces of chicken.

Just a year or two ago it was 18.99 for 8 pieces of chicken and now its 17 bucks for 3 peices of chicken + fries and a drink!?



there's no longer any good cheap eats around.

edit: co worker just notified me that i got jipped. There's a coupon that lowers it to 13 bucks instead of 15.99

[Razor Ramon HG]

I remember when I used to get off work and make Churches' runs with my coworkers, lol. It was $3.99 or something for the two piece with fries. The cashiers at the Slocan location didn't care if we used the online coupon more than once.

Popeye's 3 piece platter (2 sides and a bigass drink) is around $17 w/ tax, and I find their chicken is better.

[headhunt3r]

BK has a deal going on til the 19th thru their app - $2 for 8 nuggets. Sure, you can complain about needing the app, or that it used to be $1 for 10, but now that 3 piece meals are $15+, this deal makes for a good snack.

[HonestTea]

Churches is so expensive nowadays...

[Razor Ramon HG]

Ok, might be gross for some of you, so spoilers below, but who's a nurse? Lol.

Spoiler!

I recently had a parotidectomy three weeks ago, everything is good and healing ok.

Where I used to have the tumor is now an empty cavity, but recently it's been swelling up with what I think is serous fluid. It's like a watery clear/yellowy liquid. It's not thick, cloudy or pus so I don't think it's an infection.

The fluid was dribbling out randomly for a few days, then it just stopped. After a day or two, I realized that while it stopped, it started to pool under my skin where the tumor was forming a bump.

I gave it a minor squeeze the other day and it just spurted out of my incision, so I drained it and it started swelling up with liquid again. I'm not sure if this is just the body's way of filling in that empty space where the tumor used to be?

The surgeon that operated on me isn't available until Friday for me to speak to.

Not too concerned since I don't think it's an urgent matter, but would be nice to get a second opinion on if it's normal or not. Parotidectomies are kinda rare I think, can't find any good resources online.

Anyone have any thoughts?

[Traum]

Never been a Churches' fan. KFC all the way~ for both original recipe and extra spicy!

The $3.99 Tuesdays Specials are quite the scam nowadays though. When I had it last month, I think both the thigh and the drumstick pieces got smaller again, and they were already pretty tiny before.

[Badhobz]

How much smaller can they make them ? Friggin quail sized portions already.
I feel like picking some up to compare. I haven’t had KFC in years. Last time I had it was pre pandemic and the portions were alresdy bullshit.

[whitev70r]

KFC use to have a $2.99 2 piece on Tues, don't know if they still do. Worst $3 I ever spent.

I don't know about other themes, but for custom military sets the gold standard is Brickveteran, followed closely by Brickmania. They only use official LEGO pieces so their kits are very expensive. There are other sellers that steal others' designs, use no-name bricks, etc. so they will be a lot cheaper and you may run into quality issues.

Lego's rule on not creating any weapons means you'll never see that from Lego officially. They made the Osprey V22 helicopter and there was backlash over it because it's a military only aircraft

"No weapons" but Star Wars, MCU, Indiana Jones (Nazis), etc. is ok!

I prefer it this way - leave it up to third parties to make realistic kits that would never pass LEGO's review.

I don't think they gave you the "special" and just charged you the regular price for a 3 piece meal. I still get it frequently comes to just under $13 or just over if you're swapping the drink for a gravy. Even at this price it's still expensive considering this shit was like $5 or $6 before. I self justify it by just seeing as I'm paying $13 for a full meal and comparing what the hell you'd get for a meal for $13 now. That and it's delicious lol

[Badhobz]

Mother fucking ah cha lo, that’s the last time I go to church’s on 41st and knight.
The chicken was delicious though.

What happens if you drain it then hold it down for a while so it doesn't get the opportunity for fluid to pool?

It takes a while for it to pool, so I'd probably to hold it down for a few hours at the very least - not too convenient at the moment since I'm working. But I'd imagine if I held it down, it'd just dribble out onto my tissue since there's nowhere else to go.

Right now I'm holding a tissue to it and it's like that.

i thought it went out the window with licensing?

star wars and marvel have figures with weapons and guns, or are you speaking specifically to actual real life modern weapons and machines of war?

Yea this is the official deal currently:



Remembering back in the day it was like $6.99 lol. Feels old man.

I think they draw the line at "real life modern military/weapons".

So sci-fi and swords/hammers/bows & arrows is OK

[donk.]

My mouth is watering from the thought of KFC drumsticks + their hot sauce

Edit; my god, it's Tuesday, it's a sign. Brb clogging my arteries
