Wait you torque them with the anti seize already on and the wrench still clicks at the same number? That is the part that blows my mind. I always heard the grease makes the torque read low so you end up way over tight and stretch the studs. Six Minneapolis winters though, that is real world proof right there. My buddy had a rusted stud snap clean off his Tacoma last spring and it turned a tire swap into a two day mess. Might have to grab a little tube and try your rag trick on my beater.

So did she actually fix the scarring or just the redness? A barrier repair is great and all but it doesn't rebuild collagen, so if the scars are still there in April you might still want the needles.

My uncle had a koi pond he messed with every single day, chemicals and netting and special food, and those fish were always sick. Then he went to Florida for six weeks and left his neighbor in charge, and the neighbor basically ignored them, and the fish thrived. Sometimes doing less is the actual skill and nobody wants to hear it.
