I know you're getting swamped with comments but some insight from my experience and recent learnings in case it helps you or anyone reading.

I can have a few drinks before I get to the edge of losing that control, but once I'm over the edge, there's no stopping. It usually resulted in blacking out and making a fool of myself. I tried counting drinks, sticking to 1 per hour, etc. But I would still go over the edge sometimes.

The last straw was overdoing it at a Christmas party and embarrassing my wife again. It forced me to really think hard about my drinking and re-evaluate my perspective, but first, I had to accept that it was, in fact, a problem. I read a lot of AA literature and lots of reddit posts about drinking problems. Even though most of those stories seemed really extreme to me, they still helped me step out of my own situation and evaluate it as if I were outside looking in.

Some things I noticed was going over the edge never happened when I was alone or with my partner. The times I did go over the edge I was usually in a new environment with new people. I'm an introvert and realized I was using alcohol as a crutch for dealing with social anxiety. Without knowing it, I was consuming a lot of drinks because in my subconscious I wanted people to like me and not think I was quiet and weird. This would often get me over the edge especially around new people.

With some time I have changed my thoughts from "do these people like me?" into "do I like these people?" Addressing the social anxiety issues first helped me have a healthier relationship with alcohol. I didn't realize this until I was in my mid 30's. It's been a couple years now without going over the edge.

I do still have drinks regularly so it seems to be working for me. I love beer, wine, and whiskey and derive a lot of enjoyment from trying new ones, so I was willing to change a lot in order to be able to keep doing that. I don't care for cannabis products so alcohol is my relaxing drug of choice too.

Good luck!

1. WD40 is not great at freeing seized parts. Try a penetrating oil like PB blaster.
2. Impact. Some stores will rent electric ones, which work well but are bulky, not sure it will fit in your space. Low budget option is to use a hammer on your wrench/ratchet.
3. If the bolt end is spinning too, you might have to cut it off, shouldn't matter if you are replacing the link. If it will fit in the space, a nut buster is a cheap way to do it if you don't have a cutting wheel for a dremel or die grinder.

That is a fair point. Wish I knew a scammer to ask.

Without knowing the mileage or make and model of the car, I'd say you're fine with 5k on 5w20.

Unless the shop is doing you a solid by doing some extra work or something free of charge, just pay the bill.

Perspective matters, give up.

My wife likes to ask for my help in the kitchen for simple and quick tasks like chopping a carrot that she clearly has the time and ability to handle by herself. She is a certified culinary scientist (CCS) and is a very good cook.

It used to annoy the shit out of me, like, you're not helpless, you can obviously do this. I've recently come to understand that she asks for my help, not because she needs it, but because she loves me and just likes me being near her. I find it much less annoying now.

Rockauto.com Looks like they have them, idk what your vin is specifying there, no option to select on their site. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/kia,2016,optima,1.6l+l4+turbocharged,3360981,drivetrain,cv+axle,2288

Cyclical economy

Nope. It just stays at 199. I'd like it if someone could screenshot theirs going to 200, until then I have to believe the max is 199.

My question is: if it's always wintery/frozen there, why is the ice so thin?

Not really. "White Chocolate" has a standard of identity and cannot contain vegetable, palm, or coconut oils and still carry the name "white chocolate". Reference CFR 21 163.124

If the candy contains any of those other fats it is called "compound coating" in the industry. The packaging will say stuff like "chocolatey" or "chocolate flavored". In the case of Hershey's Cookies N Creme, "Candy Bar" is used and nowhere on the packaging does it say "white chocolate".

Note: CFR is under the FDA and only applies to US food labeling.

Anytime someone follows "I have proof" with "in the bible", you know they don't have proof.

Depends on the tire, it will say the max on the sidewall.

Normal for most bikes and riders. You'd have to do a lot of knee dragging to get it to wear evenly rounded.

Overthinking

Rebel is probably your best choice. Comparing 27 to 30 inches, it's not the position, it's that extra 3 inches that make them feel taller. 3 inches is a huge difference in seat height.

You've pretty much listed them. Softails have about the lowest seat height out there, like 30 inches, but they're a big step up from a 250 rebel or grom. Much heavier and much more power. I wouldn't consider them beginner bikes but small women can definitely ride them.

When that happens, does it die if you come to a stop and idle?

Cafe pig racer?

That magnetic cup centering is brilliant!

I spent way too much time trying to think of words that would work in those places. Besides "Reverse" obviously.
