Know where I can get a really stuck bike rack bolt removed? How about a really stuck seatpost?

Know where I can get a really stuck bike rack bolt removed? How about a really stuck seatpost?

So, I seem to be the master of getting moving bike parts stuck as of late.

The threaded bolt holding my Thule car bike rack to my trailer hitch (https://www.thule.com/en-us/bike-rack/accessories/thule-snug-tite-receiver-lock-_-22508) is completely stuck and absolutely will not move.

So is the seatpost on my Yuba Mundo.

I've tried Kroil, hot, cold, wax, locking pliers, sledgehammer. Can't get either one to move whatsoever.

Anyone know somewhere that would work on one or both items? Bike shop? Auto shop? Something else? Happy to pay normal shop rates, but thought I'd ask around before I started showing up to places with a strange request. I don't even mind sacrificing them (the bolt and the seatpost obviously, not the hitch or the bike frame!) if someone knows someone who can for sure remove them via a cutting/drilling out method.

I follow a number of these feeding and general toddler development accounts since I do infant/toddler evaluations including feeding evaluations. They honestly seem to get as many of these ridiculous r/nooneasked food moralizing comments as the anti-diet pages.

I just saw a nice post that was busting the myth of needing to give kids bland/beige food and explaining that there is no reason for it and it leads them to develop a limited palate. There was a video of someone putting butter and dried spices on what appeared to be standard white-flour penne.

Holy god were the comments awful. All these people saying they can't believe you would feed a child something with absolutely no nutrients, comments about how children do not need carbs, comments about how that's too much butter, comments calling it "shitty processed food." Seriously? I'm used to seeing those obnoxious comments around things like boxed mac and cheese, but pasta?!

I'm interested in things with more of a documentary production style, like the Unsolved Mysteries podcast. I'm OK with a bit of banter and irreverence mixed in, like the Ryan and Shane Buzzfeed Unsolved series, but not really interested in the shows that are purely unrehearsed conversational-style presentation and/or have too much off-topic unfunny "humor."

(I probably don't need to say this here, but also not interested in victim-blaming, disrespect for families, or people who are suspiciously uncritical of policing and the justice system.)
