    I FINALLY seem to have lucked out with a part order for my 2008 Escape. I've been wanting to replace the driver door seal, especially now that the tear at the bottom of it is several inches long. This vehicle uses a rail on the body to mount it, vs on the door. The plus is they tend to stay put...

    I was going to say, the dinosaurs were lucky enough to see it, but I'm sure they didn't feel that way. More like, "Oh my GOD, this is the end of us all!" :ROFLMAO:

    It certainly was feeling that way yesterday, but if it goes as the first gal I spoke to said it should, I'll get a prepaid shipping label to send the part back, and hopefully they'll check the replacement part as I requested before shipping it out. I get the feeling this gal really SHOULD be...

    My online purchase woes lately are with one of the larger Ford parts vendors. These guys are the only ones I've found that have a 4/5 star rating, but it's starting to look like that only applies if the part you get is in usable condition. I bought 3 door window weatherstrips for my vehicle, the...

    Did gaming help you learn English?

    Not saying it can't be done, it's just way easier for them on Sesame Street, because they literally teach it via easy to understand methods. There have been countless testimonials of foreign immigrants learning English on Sesame Street, and I've met a few of them and they are quite good at...

    Did gaming help you learn English?

    I think at best games can teach people common English slang or cuss words, but for learning English in general, the Sesame Street kid's TV show is still probably the number one place to learn the English language from entertainment media. And despite being a kid's TV show, Sesame Street can also...

    Suggestions on vertical mice that work for gaming?

    I used to think Razer was an over hyped boutique brand to avoid, especially after having problems with their original Synapse software that I used for a non Razer product. Synapse is MUCH better now though, and since Best Buy had a pretty good price on the Basilisk V3, I decided to return the...

    Have you got the ..... not as good as syndrome

    Yeah I have that feeling literally every time I play a current game that's well optimized and polished, then play one of the many these days that aren't. I know it's not what you mean, but does genre really matter much, especially since it's so personal preference? We all know what kind of games...

    If we were talking government surveillance, I would agree, to a point, like for instance I think the US worries too much when they insist on spying on our allies. This is clearly not the same thing though. Motor vehicles have used GPS tracking for decades, it works. Now that it has evolved quite...

    Yeah I'd love to have good quality ear buds, if nothing else to resist the arms of my glasses causing pressure on my temples from prolonged use of around the ear type headphones. However with earbuds I would worry about ear canal irritation, which can potentially be more painful and even lead to...

    The only problem with foam tips is they compress over time, so likely don't last as long.

    Guy walks into an audio store and says, do you have any earbuds for abnormally shaped ears. Employee says, your ears don't look abnormally shaped to me sir. Customer replies, yeah, but it's what's INSIDE that counts! :rolleyes: I feel your pain, it sounds a bit like what I go through when...

    One of the DTC mtb bike brands I was considering called Ari (formerly Fezzari) just suffered an Ocean's 11 type loss. Apparently 100s of their bikes were stolen out of a delivery truck that was on it's way to their Provo Utah HQ from LA. There were 337 bikes taken, averaging just over $5000...

    Even when I was MUCH younger I'd woken up a few times staring at the bathroom ceiling. I'd passed out while passing a kidney stone. It's often times more about the unexpected than just being careful. That said, it doesn't happen anymore due to the preventative maintenance with my diet. I merely...

    I'm really old school I guess with music. I either listen to it on my desktop with wired headphones, or in my car with my phone wired to the dash. The closest any of that comes to wireless is when I get a call on my phone while driving and I tap the screen to answer it, then the song...
