  • Why does no one peel their shrimp before putting them in dishes to cook? They are so much easier to peel raw and then you arent trying to scoop a shrimp out, messily peel it while covered in sauce or whatever, then you put it back in and then try to eat…Like, the legs are still on here…so you’re likely gonna have random shrimp legs in some bites… Even if the shrimp you got are pre-cooked, just peeling them during prep makes enjoying the final product waaaay better.





  • Im gonna be the AkShUalLy guy here and say this isnt always the case…. There are shower controls that turn on immediately to full pressure and then adjust for temp as you keep turning, no way to actually control the water pressure without just having fully cold water. These have been around forever…

    I installed a newer Delta one in my house a few years ago (2021 or so). They now have a feature where the water temperature is always whatever you set it- no fluctuations of scalding water when someone flushes a toilet or random freezes if someone turns on hot water elsewhere in the house. Or even 2 showers/baths fighting for hot water at the same time. So it’s like an auto-adjusting thing that happens inside that requires max input pressure to work right. Of course, i always want max water pressure, so this was a win-win for me!

    To note- this wasnt a crazy expensive, high-end model…it was basically what most of the single knob/lever shower controls are now.



  • Toe out is the front of the tire being too far out…i think you mean Camber, where the top/bottom is too far out/in. Unless you have rear wheel steering, there’s no way a lift or drop would change the toe of rear wheels. Tie rods are used on the steering system, coming from the rack and pinion. Again, unless you have rear wheel steering, these dont exist on the rear wheels.

    You’re looking for control arms.

    Likely with a lift installed you got really positive camber (bottom is too far in). You either need longer lower arms or shorter tops, this varies depending on vehicles. However…these parts should have come with your lift kit? Unless it wasnt a kit and you assembled the kit yourself with various other parts. A complete kit would have had the parts to correct any geometry changes associated with the lift. Also, it looks like your setup uses 3 control arms on each side…2 lateral (top & bottom) and one coming in from the rear, so you might have a few parts that need extending to do this job correctly.

    If you have this issue on the rear, how was it solved for the front? You said front tie rods were adjustable enough, but since you arent using the correct part terms it’s hard to know exactly what you’re referring to.

    You’ll have to find someone that makes aftermarket control arms for your specific vehicle, there wont be any factory sized parts to help with a non-stock situation. Or get ahold of whoever made your lift kit (if it was a kit) and see what they recommend.

    Best to go to a source (forum, community, etc) specific to your vehicle to see what kits, parts, vendors and sources people are using for lifts.

    My experience with lifting not-so-common vehicles always made finding parts/kits like this difficult. Sometimes i even had to make the part myself. Usually, if anyone makes the part it’s not a huge supplier, just a few guys in a shop somewhere. Or someone with more resources found an OEM part from a completely different vehicle that worked.
