Can’t fix stupid

The pay bill button on my capital one CC account doesn’t work on Firefox. Once a month I have to use a chromium based browser.

I’m sure if you used the kiosk often you could learn it. I struggled to just order a 1/4 pounder meal. It wasn’t showing me combos.

But i don’t have any desire to learn it or visit McDonald’s :)

Wife mentioned it today at work and it appears “that” McD’s is notorious for being awful. Again, I’m McD’s expert but the story on here about profits down last quarter was just odd timing for me ending up at one. So ijad my own opinion as to why there may be more issues!

Haha

Appreciate the comment! That said, I’m not looking to find ways to better my McDonald’s experience here :)

I just need to build that time since I was at McDonald’s back up. I wanted to vent after seeing the story about price likely causing their 1/4 results. I think there’s more to it.

It appears they close at midnight, and we got there just before 9pm

I just looked to confirm. They close at midnight and it was just before 9pm.

I didn’t but everyone else thought it made sense. I’d have rather gone home and eaten a sandwich

I have a Pixel 8 pro (with stock OS) and use Shelter to isolate my work apps. I have not had any issues. Super nice being able to just pause the whole suite of apps when I’m on PTO / away and don’t want to be bothered.

Well, in all fairness all food prices have gone up, and 4 of us cannot eat for $40 at a non fast food joint.

I am not surprised the service outside the US is better where labor laws are likely also better.

Not that I was there to begin with, but they 100% will push my parents out of there as they do not want to deal with them. I would think their primary long term customers were boomers, and they’re gonna reject Kiosks.

Ya, same. I think I may have gotten a burger one time when I took my kid (now 14) in there for some ice cream 7-8 years ago. Then unfortunately twice this year. But I’m going to go back to normal of actively avoiding the place

One of the many reasons I dropped Prime in January when my annual subscription ran out. I now avoid amazon where possible, or for certain things I’ll group them up until I have enough items to get free shipping and order that way.

No prime day garbage No more “oh, let me order this thing I don’t really need that will get here in a few hours”

Installed and we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the heads up!!

I assumed that by the name I just wasn’t aware they were two pieces.

I think while tasca has good prices on the actual parts, their shipping costs make them nearly as much as going to the dealer. (At least that’s been my experience with my Ford)

I’m honestly not sure what a plug boot is. What I’ve seen is for the coil -on-plug style they’re one piece and no need to replace unless one dies and even then you just replace the bad one. The connectors on them can also have goofy locking connectors that are likely easy to break so just pay attention.

A torque wrench that will work with those small valve cover bolts will be a 3/8" one and be able to measure inch lbs. (Aka small values).

While this isn’t a foolproof tip, if you call AutoZone, or Acura and ask if they have plug boots for your car and they say no that would be at least a decent indicator they’re not normal maintenance items. Use that forum to search and see what they are if people are changing them.

Don’t be afraid to try this if you can follow basic instructions. Cars are pretty stout and unless you do something crazy this should go fine.

I would guess you can find some good YouTube videos that will walk through he specific steps/process for your car. Or a car forum/FB group to search any specific issues changing valve covers. Generally this is a pretty straightforward job.

I have no idea what maintenance has been done previously etc. But if it has plug wires might consider changing them as well, however a lot of cars today have coils right on the plugs so no maintenance needed if yours is like that.

Realize the small bolts holding the valve cover on will not take a ton of force to tighten. They’re small bolts going into small holes. Pay attention to how tight they are when taking them off if you don’t plan to use a torque wrench to tighten them. Make them snug not crazy tight.

Hope it stays that way.
