Some darker piece of clothing blead in the wash onto a light colored sweater and left a darker splotchy stain on it. Washed it, noticed the prob and didn't dry it. Washed it again and the discoloration is as bad as after the initial wash. Sweater is 1/3 each merino, cotton, and poly.

Any products that'll actually fix it?

A bucket of dye.

That's actually a great god damned idea. Imma propose that plan and see if it'll pass muster.

My RAV4 gets close to 40 mpg around town with snows on. So much better than a Prius for very little drop off in fuel efficiency.

And way less dork factor

Hybrid Rav4? My BIL has one and I'm in the market for one now. They have them sold before they hit the door, which explains why the DB salesman I spoke with who said he would let me know sent me a price sheet for one at $10k over MSRP. I'll hold onto my 10 year old Sorento for a while until the prices come down thank you.

Yeah. I ordered mine, but paid less than sticker for it in the summer of 2020, luckily. No way I’d pay that much for one

K2 bought Full Tilt? When the fuck did that happen?

What other acquistions have I missed?

You were acquired by Elon Musk. Don't leave home--or you'll find the locks changed when you get back.

For-profit healthcare is fucking ridiculous.

Great piece on nursing home industry by vice news. I posted in another thread a while back, but relevant here for sure.

Was just (over) thinking this: when people say they're in "their 40th year" or whatever I would assume most people mean they are 40, but shouldn't your 40th year really be when you're 39 since your first year is between birth and when you turn one?

I often say this to people who are a year shy of a momentous birthday (like 40), that they are in their 40th year. Because you are correct.

[The AD]

I'm sure most normal people never think about nor care about such trivial BS, but for some reason I can't help it.

Full Tilt has been under the k2 umbrella for several years. They just basically rebranded Full Tilt to K2 - I think it was announced last winter or spring.
They sent us a pair of these k2 “Diverge” boots a few weeks ago which I just had cooked and fitted and they are exactly the same as the boots formerly known as the Full Tilt ascendants.
Haven’t seen any of the rebranded alpine boots in person yet but the plan was to keep things the same aside from the name

K2 was always behind Full Titl.

But, what happened to bowling?

I was looking at a watch at Macy's yesterday and this morning received an email from Capital One Shopping that said: "Earn $143.44 in Shopping Rewards!"
According to the Cap 1 site they will mail me a check or I can use the credit to pay for stuff purchased at Amazon. Can anyone here confirm that as with $143 credit, I will buy it.

You could dive in and read detailed comparison tests:

https://www.tire-reviews.com/Tire/

or you could listen to the advice of anonymous randos on the internet. What kind of tires are you looking for?

[liv2ski]

I like Tirerack reviews and buy from them often.

Is that an incentive they're pitching you to get a new card, or just the standard X% cash back deal? We use a Cap One Quicksilver card that gives 1.5% cash back. Can confirm they offer a number of ways to collect those cash back credits, including a check, gift certs at a few spots, etc., but I always just take it as a credit towards the next month's bill.

The highest rated all-season tire from whatever brand is on sale at Costco.

Consumer Reports.

[Ted Striker]

Yeah, tire reviews are fixed. CR is one of the few reviewers that isn't getting compensated in some way. That said, they only do the major brands and only the "everyday" categories.

The do winter tires too. Michelin X-Ice is top rated. You're right about the brands.
I'm no tire expert, but would the best tire for say a small car be the best tire for a big PU? To really know the best would you have to test every tire on every class of vehicle?

Baja style light fresh chicken tacos, or dinner tray tv dinner style meatloaf meal for Christmas for a senior? I'm torn. He's allergic to fish. I put up a proper pork green chile stew for solstice and a hudge thanksgiving turkey meal for tgiving. Leaning towards the tacos. Open to suggestions.
