Long story short, I need to rethread a stripped bolt/oil feed hole on a cam cap (aluminum) and it's not something I want to helicoil/timesert myself. :cry :cry :cry The plan is to tow the car to a trusted auto shop in Mountain View who will then ship the part to the machine shop for the work...

So my nephew in 2nd grade really loves remote control cars but he currently only has dinky disposables right now that don't do much. So I thought a nice TT02 would make him happy and would have the flexibility to grow with him. I know these things have a lot of moving parts but his father is...

Need to choose a cell phone for work and I'm honestly not well versed on any of these phones. I currently carry a Nexus 6 which I've enjoyed and the missus is quite happy to inherit. iPhone 6s (IOS) (16GB) Space Gray iPhone 6s Plus (IOS) (16GB) Space Gray Samsung Galaxy S6 (32GB) (Android)...

No moto specific language on their website of course: http://www.bart.gov/guide/parking A commute option I'm considering is to ride to a station on the peninsula and take the last leg on BART which would take me right by my work (public transit is subsidized by my company). The Colma station...

We don't have cable TV and have Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions. Currently only have a Chromecast so Amazon Prime content is completely wasted. We don't watch live sports. We're also not in the Apple ecosystem and have Android phones and tablets. What can I get that would make the...

Quick research reveals that some folks experienced major engine failures. For a bike with 14k miles, should I be concerned?

Who do you use and have you been happy with the price/value?

Long story short, I need a solid cobbler that can do regular work on men's dress shoes that won't mangle or lose people's shoes. :loco :laughing Just basic work is fine--Installing taps and sole/heel replacement is all I really need.

Thinking about getting one for the missus as an "unbirthday" present. In terms of the last gen consoles, we had the Xbox 360 (replaced like 3 times due to RROD :cry :laughing) and the Wii. Spec-wise and seeing the side by side for them, it seems like the PS4 is the winner... but I'm wondering if...

Looking for elk, venison, ostrich and other lean red meats. Nope, won't be hunting for it. Do you guys have local shops you prefer? (peninsula/south bay) Or is it more of an online order kind of a thing for us in this area? On a related note, what's a reasonable price per pound rate I should...

I don't get it. I've recently come across two cases where a manager left a group and the subordinates were unwilling to put their hat in to the ring to take over. One said it's not worth it (they've been an individual contributor for almost a decade!) and the other cited the value of work life...

I started doing downhill at Mammoth and I'm tired of coughing up cash for crappy rentals. I'm expecting to do between 6-10 days a year at resorts and the rest of the time should be on trails like I should probably see about 10 days a year of downhill action at resorts but the vast majority of...
