    Help! Volvo 2004 S60 62.5k mileage Auto tranny problems

    Occasionally the auto transmission will undergo 'clunky' shifts which I'm used to in most automatic transmission cars but this is a borrowed car I have been using to commute 100 miles a day (both ways) starting this week. I was experiencing some clunky gear shifts in stop and go traffic the...

    New portable air conditioner already losing steam

    I recently ordered a honeywell 10,000 BTU portable air conditioning for a studio (~150 sq ft) and in the first two weeks it was working really well. My abominably hot apartment was being kept cool very well, in some cases even getting down to the high 60's in a few hours (I usually come back in...

    Does my body hate apples or do apples hate my body?

    I've been having this issue where I feel rather nauseous after doing a run + outdoor workout by the beach (pushups, pullups, & tris)-- sometimes the sun is out and so I attribute some of it to being hot and dry heaving (I sometimes chug water more than I should during a workout). Recently I...

    Apps for built-in iphone mic audio control?

    I wasn't sure if this belonged in the Audio/Sound or mobile subforum, but does anyone have suggestions for quality iphone apps that let me manually adjust the gain/audio settings on my iphone 5's microphone? For context, I do have a neumann, but my preamp is in a different location, and in...

    How do I cut out the tummy flab once and for all?

    I run about 3 miles (stopping halfway in the middle to stretch/workout) and do situps, pushups, pullups twice a week. I also *mostly* eliminated sugar and carbs (I will occasionally slip at work, but have no candy/sugar in the house). Lunch for me looks like an in-n-out burger in lettuce...

    Good office chairs for long bouts of computer work?

    I had no idea where to put this, and I couldn't find any recent chair threads, so here goes. I have these stumpy chairs, but they're not very comfortable for long periods of sitting to get shit done and have a smaller back support. I got hooked on the Herman Miller site, stuff like this...

    Did LA Amateur Hour bork my PC?

    Had a power outage earlier tonight, with the usual, lights/electrical appliances turning off, then a few moments later there was a flickering of the lights as if power was being restored, and then total power off, accompanied by a small boom, almost a popping noise coming out of my computer, but...

    Tough call: new Mac mini or wait til Mac Pro?

    The new Mac Pro looks (and sounds) like it will be exorbitantly expensive, but the Mac Mini with a Fusion hard drive (SSD and HD) and 8GB of ram is around 1100 +tax. I LOVE the Mini's form factor however and think it'd be great for compiling code/running Unity 3D's kit. Any great...

    Help! Mobo's USB ports keep conking out on Mouse & KB

    For background, the summer was very hot and my four year old computer's fan was producing an unbearable racket, so I'd occasionally hit the back of the chassis where the fan was with my open hand, reducing noise. After one of these bouts in the last few weeks, the mouse stopped responding--...

    Made a discovery-- FujiFilm Finepix S8100fd

    So I was helping some friends dig through a lot of old trashed/discarded belongings, and came upon a really nice looking point & shoot digital camera in a camera bag. It looks like the model was dated to around 2008, although last use was probably late 2009. After removing the corroded...

    Recommended BlueTooth?

    I searched around and couldn't find an appropriate thread to necro, so I am bringing it up here: I am looking for a bluetooth that works and fits well, but doesn't break the bank. If it's just an earpiece and it looks cool is an added bonus. Does anyone have any particular recommendations?

    Would very much like a Manual Merc C230 or 300

    Title kind of speaks for itself. I've heard pretty disappointing things about the gearbox though. I like the looks of the '06 BMW 328i with a manual gearbox but it looks so generic... Which brings me to perhaps a more interesting, less expensive option: a manual volvo sedan. Any thoughts...
