What’s a fair price for brake work for a pickup truck per axle? My trucks going in to have at least the rear brakes done tomorrow, and the front ones are also a little iffy. Fair price for the whole truck?

I’m been following for weeks now, I honestly would have expected better in many areas with vaccine numbers. Just not seeing it. Concerning

.54

I mean, I don’t see anything earth shattering? Prevents severe infection was the goal... it also is pretty good at preventing infection period in most people. I don’t see this as a big gotcha! moment

We do a farm share at an organic farm in Easton, right down the road on 138. It’s all certified organic. We do a half share, which is $400 for the year, and runs from May through like early November. It pays for itself like two times over.

Maybe it’s more the items we buy I guess. But I’m not kidding when I say an 80-90 bill for groceries is now like $120.

Ticking up on food? I’d say it’s up like 25-30% in the last 12-14 months. It’s not even subtle

Thanks... I would assume it’s a break issue, since when I apply them it goes away completely, if it was something else, wouldn’t be able to isolate it like that. Very annoying for sure. I’m going to have my brother look at them this weekend to see if I need to schedule a pad replacement

Anyone here familiar with cars? My truck started a hellacious sounding squeak tonight and it happens while driving. As soon as I even do much as lightly tap the brakes, it stops. Brake pads?

The realtor we worked with said she’d probably list our home somewhere around 575-600k right now given the market and improvements we’ve made since moving in. We bought for 405k in March of 2019. Shes also saying anyone with any contingencies are basically out of luck right now. Unless you have complete and approved financing in hand, or cash, forget it.

I live in aPretty desirable location... about a mile to the highway, but a secluded, wooded area, bordering on the large hockomock swamp. The development planning goes back over a decade now, but it was held up for months and maybe even a year by neighbors trying every avenue to prevent the street from being put in. The argument ranged anywhere from more traffic (it’s 14 houses lol) to inadequate well water supply (that was pretty much debunked and they were told there was no legitimate basis for that). it was a classic case of not in my backyard. Everyone resists this type of chance pretty fiercely these days. I think it’s also a play to see what they can get out of the deal. A new road, sidewalks, etc etc. I believe the end result of my street being put in was sewer was run down to it, so people along the route had the option of tying into it.

I think this is pretty important to note. Guys like musk and company pumping doge are doing it so they can inflate the price and quietly get our while it’s high. Similar to GameStop, the inexperienced investor is going to be left holding the back when the big players get out.

I think people get their back up about the speculative talk because it’s just that lol. They know it’s speculative but they don’t want to hear it.

Me too lol... no I’m interested

Close to an inch at home, nice drink

It’s pretty much anything I eat I’ve found. Doesn’t matter what it is, it sucks. I was on protonix for a while, which really helped. Insurance now doesn’t cover prescription grade reflux meds, so if I continued on it, we’re talking retail price, which is outrageous. My doctor had me for every other day, and it still worked, but eventually I just stopped because he said it would be best to just get off of it and the price was high. I got a second opinion on the potential negatives of using that particular med long term, as that seems to be part of the reason it’s not longer covered, and I was basically told any negatives are pretty much voodoo. Nothing that can be definitively linked to long term use.

I always ate dinner at like 7 or 8. I have horrific GERD though, and have been eating earlier for a while, which helps.

All bark no bite with that radar. Barely a drop

Staining my deck... used 5 gallons... had to order another 5 gallon pail.

Should have been 61... no idea why that wasn’t an and 1 at the end.

Second shot last night... woke up with a 100 fever and body aches... fever is gone but body aches remain.

Yeah... part of the problem is small businesses have become accustomed to paying such low wages, it’s how they operate and meet their margins. it’s a big picture failure. We haven’t paid people a livable wage for a long time, and now many businesses won’t/can’t provide a livable wage because their margins depend on 10/hr

This is a multiple decades long problem coming to a head. Minimum wage has not followed the cost of living for like 40 years now. It should be probably double what it is now. The pandemic assistance has given folks a security blanket to balk at working for minimum wage. It’s unfortunate for small businesses, but at the same time, minimum wage should have increased a lot more in the last 30-40 years.
