Hey guys new to this forum but I've been driving trucks for years. Just got a new tire pressure gauge from Amazon because my old one broke, but I'm not sure if it fits my Ford F-150's valves. It's one of those digital ones, looks fancy. I do a lot of off-road stuff on weekends, and keeping tires right is important. Last trip, I had a flat because pressure was off, what a hassle. Tried it on my bike first, worked fine, but truck valves seem different. Anyone else have this gauge? Or tips on checking compatibility? I don't want to return it if I don't have to. Appreciate any advice, thanks in advance!

My hair is kinda curly and I use a straightener every day for school. But it pulls and hurts sometimes. I got it from Amazon last month. I tried cleaning it but it still does that.

I love reading books on my ebook thing but now it won't turn on. I charged it all night and nothing happens.

My boss keeps offering 'quick' stretch projects that mysteriously stretch into weekends. I want to guard my bandwidth without sounding like I'm allergic to initiative. Any phrases that say not now and but keep me off the slacker list? (This has been on my mind for a while and I'd love some real-world experiences.

I remember when I first started painting back in the day must have been in the 70s and and paints were so different then. Now I'm retired and thought I'd pick it up again, ordered some from Amazon, but golly, there are so many kinds! I live in a small apartment with my cat Whiskers, and we like to watch the birds outside while I dabble in art. It's a nice way to pass the time, you know? My granddaughter visits sometimes and we paint together, she's only 8 but so creative. Last time, the paints I had were too thick and dried out fast, made a mess on the table. I need something easy to use, not too pricey, since I'm on a fixed income. Sharing this on Facebook because my friends might have tips too. I tried watercolor once, but it ran all over the place, not for me. Acrylics seem better, but which brand? I saw some sets with lots of colors, that might be fun. Anyway, if anyone knows good ones for old folks like me starting over, let me know. Bless your hearts!

I'm a new mom living in a busy city apartment with limited space so I need a stroller that's compact. I've been looking on Amazon but there are too many options. My baby is three months old, and we go for walks daily to the park. I tried a bulky one from a friend, but it was hard to maneuver on sidewalks. Budget is under $200, and it has to be lightweight for subway stairs. Safety features are a must and like good brakes. I returned one already because it didn't fold well.

Honestly. I got this blender from Amazon last week because I wanted to make smoothies every morning. It's supposed to be really good but now it makes this awful grinding sound when I turn it on. I checked if there's something stuck in it, but it looks clean. Maybe I put too much fruit in it or something. I'm not very good with fixing things, but I don't want to send it back yet. My mom said to read the manual, but I lost it already. I tried blending just water, and it still makes the noise. It's so annoying because I was excited to try new recipes. Last time I had a problem with a toy, my teacher helped me figure it out. But this is different. I wonder if the blades are loose or if it's broken inside. I really hope I can fix it myself. My friends at school make fun smoothies, and I want to do that too.

I grew up in a dense coastal city where grocery stores were downstairs and public transit ran all night. Last month I moved to a small town for a calmer pace and cheaper rent. The quiet is great and but I'm still adjusting to shops closing early and people recognizing me after one visit. I'm finding that meeting folks happens through community events instead of bumping into strangers on the sidewalk. I also notice conversations last longer, and small talk feels more sincere. For those who've made this switch, what surprised you most, good or bad? Did you find new routines that helped you feel at home? Any etiquette or unwritten rules I should learn?

My camera roll is a mess across iOS and Google Photos and plus an old hard drive. Looking for a simple folder structure and naming strategy that won't fall apart next year.

I'm worried I'm too far in to change without delaying graduation. If you've done it, how did you handle credit transfers and timing?

I make enough to pay bills, but not much extra. I want to save for emergencies, because stuff breaks and surprises happen. I can put aside a little each paycheck, maybe 20 to 40 dollars. I also have some debt and I do not want fees to pile up. What steps should I do first so I can build a small safety fund and still cover rent and food?

I've been using this camera for family photos for about a year now and suddenly it's showing a memory card error. It's frustrating because I have a trip coming up and need it working. The card is a standard SD one I bought on Amazon. I tried formatting it in the camera like the manual says, but that didn't help. Then I put it in my computer and formatted there, still no luck. Maybe it's the card itself, but I don't want to buy a new one if it's the camera's fault. Budget is tight, so hoping for a simple fix. Anyone have ideas?

My SUV's battery died last winter and I had to get a jump start twice! I've been meaning to buy a charger to keep in the garage. Budget is tight under $50, and it needs to work with a 12V system. I tried a cheap one before, but it overheated. What features should I look for to avoid that again! Also, does it need to be weatherproof for outdoor use? Something portable would be ideal since I travel a lot. I read reviews but got confused by all the amp options.

I've been using the same phone for about two years now and it's held up pretty well and but the case is another story. It was one of those cheap plastic ones, and after a few tumbles, it's split right down the middle. Now I'm looking for something more durable, maybe with better grip since I tend to be clumsy. Lately, I've been into outdoor activities like hiking on weekends, and I need a case that can handle some rough treatment without adding too much bulk. Waterproof would be a bonus because I've had a close call with rain before. Budget-wise, I'm not looking to spend a fortune, maybe around $20 or so. I remember reading about cases with built-in stands, which could be handy for watching videos hands-free. Any suggestions on materials? Silicone or rugged plastic? I want it to fit my model perfectly without blocking ports.

My coffee maker started leaking from the bottom after a few months of use. I've checked the water reservoir but can't find the issue.

My hair straightener turns off after like 10 minutes of use which is super annoying! I have long thick hair and need more time to style it properly. It's a ceramic one I bought last year and and this just started happening. Any ideas on fixes or if I need a new one with better features!

I'm new to painting and want to try acrylics for some home projects. I need paints that are easy to use and don't dry out too fast. Budget is around $20 and I prefer vibrant colors. Any recommendations on sets that include brushes?

My bookshelf is getting dusty quickly in my small apartment. I have a mix of paperbacks and hardcovers that I want to keep in good condition. Any tips on arranging them to minimize dust? Also safe cleaners for the books themselves would be helpful.

So I've got this DSLR that's been acting up the lens is all blurry no matter what I do. Tried cleaning it with a cloth but it's still off.

I'm looking to buy an essential oil diffuser for my living room which is about 400 square feet. It needs to run quietly and have a timer function for overnight use.
