King crab 40 dollars a lb at Kirin. Usually it’s like 60 or occasionally 70


Unfortunately the biggest one they had was this 8lb. All pretty small.

not sure. even TNT is selling it for 39.99 a lb, so kirin at 40 is a great deal!

I have radiant floor heating (water) and the pilot light on the boiler is on but it doesn’t fire up the rest of the boiler. I’ve turn on the thermostat, did a restart of the boiler and still nothing. Any ideas? Or any furnace/plumber recommendations?

Does the valve open up? If valve doesn't open up, nothing is going to light up. The valve is right at the base of the flue pipe (exhaust vent). It is controlled by a switch. If that is closed and the furnace/boiler starts up, it is lights out for you (pun intended).

Can anyone recommend a decent dashcam that's powered by USB?

My new vehicle only has a single 12V with constant power and I don't want to bother with hard wiring or tapping into a fuse.

All of my dashcams have used a mini USB for power. Check the Voifo A119 if other brands aren't the same.

You can take any dashcam powered by cig lighter and change the cable to a mini-USB to USB-A (the regular one that goes into computers), and run it that way. I use a cig lighter USB charger that does QC 3.0.

For the first time I find myself with reman'd calipers and I'm thinking I should paint them. I don't know if they come coated from the manufacturer or not but I don't want them all rusty in a few months.

The question is the colour. My car is black and I run gold or black or white wheels. I like the idea of white but that seems impossible to keep clean given my lax attitude towards scrubbing things. Would yellow clash with the gold wheels too much? I suppose I could just paint those too. Red is always good but maybe a bit played out?

I have no known sense of style so it's a difficult decision for me lol.

What about gun metal or cast iron? It's a factory looking color that won't clash or look dirty.
I dunno. Not too big on the colorful calipers myself so that would be my likely choice anyways

They're sort of a gun metal colour already, which I do kinda like the look of, I just don't want it to rust (maybe they don't and I'm worrying about nothing?).



I don't like black cars and I want something to make the car pop a little hence the idea to paint the calipers. The BBK had red Brembos which I was pretty fond of.
