  Hell yeah. This will help scratch that Stalker itch while the newest one gets a little more time in the oven.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Very gently, I’m sure⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ABS would be better in that regard, it has a higher plasticity and less likely to fragment. But the one in the OP is PVC. ABS pipe is black.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Very gently, I’m sure⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact: PVC doesn’t show up on x-rays. So when this thing turns into shrapnel and embeds itself in your abdomen; doctors get to just hunt around and hope they get all the pieces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be sure to count your turns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t let your memes be dreams. They just leave them parked everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why You Can't Stream Coppola's Megalopolis Anywhere⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Make sure it’s a theater screener version too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah a plated dirt bike rules (as long as your commute is less than ~20mi). Gets 75mpg, goes literally anywhere (even where it’s not supposed to), and you look cool doing it.

  Just trading one scroll wheel for another. “Surely the next channel won’t be another crazy preacher.” (It was).

  K. I’ll just wait for the 8bitdo clone.

  mfw domino’s does a better job than the suicide hotline

  Apparently not. Dood was still alive to call dominos. GKY

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 32-bit RISC-V processor made using molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Molybdenum disulfide itself is plentiful. It’s a common lubricant. But I have no idea what turning it into a single atom thick sheet entails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.world is blocked in UAE and you don't allow using VPN/Tor to post. what is the solution here?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Use a different instance that is federated with lemmy.world?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If these mother fuckers are trying to make me pay for Healthcare to talk to fucking ChatGPT I swear to god ChatGPT is going to write me so many scripts for opioids its won't be funny.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would almost accept AI accelerating humanities downfall if it could get us neutral, non-religious, non-prejudiced doctors & therapists for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hydro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a lemmy equivalent for HydroHomies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey, do americans just want to take a break from normal politics for a bit and focus all our efforts solely on the wild boar problem?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can kill wild pigs. They’re only level 1

  These aren’t. Most animals that you get to hunt in the US will run away if you take a shot and miss. Hogs just might decide to turn around and fucking disembowel you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to FlyingSquid?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol good riddance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I feel better about my weird dietary preferences.

  I’m doing my part!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is ridiculous⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re looking at now sir, everything that happens now is happening now.

  What happened to then?

  We passed then.

  When?

  Just now.

  When will then be now?

  Soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Phone is for work only. Tower PC for everything else.

  I’m probably an outlier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  PCL is a “language” not a driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A troll (https://lemm.ee/u/shinigamiookamiryuu) is a new moderator of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world. What can be done about this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Alright lemmy users who aren’t part of THIS thread, but I still remember from 8 months ago…this is your time to shine! Go make new communities and show us all how your ways are realistic in real world scenarios…and not just, ya know, group jerking the group about unrealistic concepts and thus not a real solution.

  I mean; It does work that way. See the 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone drama. People didn’t like what the mods wanted to do, so they started their own (onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone) and it currently has more than twice the number of active users.

  So it does work when most of the people give a shit. Problem is, most people don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter. If you can get it out after the lube tech tightened it to 325 lbft, I'll give you sixty bucks.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m sorry that happened. But literally no one, even the shadiest shop, is doing that intentionally. Laziness and using air tools, probably. Trying to save a buck by using the original crush washer and just tightening it down harder, also likely. Intentionally over tightening so you have to come back to them; extremely unlikely.

  After we finally got it off we both agreed on one thing, neither of us are bringing our vehicles back to that shop again. That was over 10 years ago now and I’m still holding true to my word fuck them I’ll drive the extra 20 minutes to another shop

  That’s exactly what you should do if you’re not happy with the service. But be prepared to wait to get into a decent mechanic. The ones that provide shitty service are able to stay in business because there is always someone in a hurry. And this is why I say they aren’t intentionally over torquing your drain bolt. They don’t give a shit if you come back on not; there’s plenty others waiting.

  I’m glad my professional wrenching isn’t in the automotive field any more.

  I wouldn’t sweat it until I had to remove it for some reason either.

  Those old Civics are indestructible.

  Devils advocate: As a mechanic, if I tighten the oil filter too little, I’m liable for thousands in repairs. If I tighten the oil filer too much, some rando curses me but I don’t hear it and continue sleeping like a baby. Or it comes back to me and I don’t care if it’s tight, Ive got the tools that make it easy.

  So, sorry, not sorry. I’m gonna keep cranking those puppies down.

  Also your PCV hose is starting to look pregnant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is pretty much an instant return for me.

  Exactly. Because you know they are going to refund your money and let you keep it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It shows you love them⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they’ve already moved to Newsmax?

  I popped one open on my cat’s head one time and they never forgave me :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The torque better not be too strong with this one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I keep one of these around just for older Yamaha and newer Kawasaki equipment. You’ll end up drilling half of them out if you try to use #3 ISO.

  I’m in the powersports/agricultural industry, so we tend to lag behind everyone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The torque better not be too strong with this one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kawasaki is still holding on strong to JIS screws in it’s machinery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO if it’s exclusive to one store, sailing the seas is morally just.
