  all the drive screws I’ve ever had to work with are just a phillips head, nothing special

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever relics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have literally a dozen allen key sets, at least, and toss the freebies into a drawer

  they come in handy every now and then when you need to hammer one into a partially stripped bolt head or something like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if they can’t ship their products safely, that’s on them.

  I’m not the one choosing the shipping service, they are.

  also because people are selfish and dumb and want to stay that way

  a ton of shit is because of billionaires and the like

  but also a ton of shit is because your neighbour doesn’t want the perceived inconvenience of a crosswalk and reduced intersection size at the end of the street

  yes, that is the point of the post…

  I’ve got a tv with legs like that. you can tip it surprisingly far over. I even made risers to tilt one forward to remove the glare from the afternoon sun

  now, idk if the one in the photo has a worse balance than the two I’ve dealt with

  did you care about things like that when you were 14?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This isn't fair⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see the OP hasn’t been to a car mechanic shop lately

  shop rate being near $200 even for private shops is wild

  I wonder what the techs are making

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philips shouldn't exist. Torx plus is the best fight me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use #8 x 2-3in Robertson construction screws for pretty much everything. been doing this for over a decade. hasn’t failed me yet

  there are times that a pan head is more suitable or you want a smaller screw, but I just buy the giant buckets if thousands of construction screws and then don’t have to think about buying more. and it’s 1/4 the cost as smaller packages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well that's my vacation ruined⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to watch FoxNews for shits just to see the wild shit they show, but recently the hotel I stay at most frequently no longer gets that channel. it was really disappointing, now I have to hope to catch criminal minds reruns or a random movie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well that's my vacation ruined⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just plug in my AppleTV or Switch or laptop…

  the issue is usually that you can’t adjust the display settings for a more suitable picture

  that kind of thing has popped up on my feed and I really don’t understand it

  like the actual content is this tiny window in the middle of the screen, there’s a background video for motion, some sort of border effects, and then just stock footage of some dude sitting in a chair nodding?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Vancouver Police⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this is a weird comparison

  there are real criminals out there and OP chose drug addicts, a crime which by itself is just minding your own business

  fuck, go after the drivers endangering countless people every day. far more dangerous than drug addicts that commit crimes that affect other people

  white nationalism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Car!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  thankfully my reflexes still prioritize my own safety, and most times I leave a near collision pissed off at the shitty driver and regretful that I couldn’t leave them a lasting mark. but when I get to the chance to, say, let my cargo bike basket scrape a car that pushed me into the curb, I’m gonna try to take it.

  and thankfully (?) my health issues are unrelated to biking injuries (at least, unrelated to sharing the road with drivers — I’ve got a completely self-inflicted road injury from long ago and injuries from mountain biking lol).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Car!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this is what’s wild to me. I’ll be having casual conversation with people and they’ll mention one cyclist that did something they didn’t like. sometimes it’s valid like running a red light, sometimes it’s something stupid like complaining about how they’re not in the non-existent bike lane. the wild part is that they will do this after we just had multiple discussions about how bad drivers were on the way to the location that we are currently hanging out. like, there’s just no recognition for how much worse drivers are and how much more prevalent it is.

  no matter what method of transportation I use, drivers are always the worst part of it. always. no matter where I go. a lot of routes around my house don’t even require me to be on public streets except residential streets or to cross streets, and still drivers will fuck up the one of three situations in which I must interact with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Car!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no less so than drivers are, so it’s kind of an irrelevant point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Car!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  to be fair, it’s not like fewer cyclists are following the rules than drivers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Car!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  my mindset when biking now is mostly to inconvenience bad drivers as much as possible and ensure that if they hit me it results in as much damage to their car as I can without harming myself.

  I will aggressively take my right of way. one of the most common places is a bike crossing nearby where drivers routinely blow the stop line on their red light - I start up as quickly so that if they blow the stop and go into the crossing, I may not be able to stop before crashing into them. I don’t mind my shitty bike taking some damage if it leaves them with a dented door panel. another common occurrence is roundabouts - drivers vastly underestimate the speed at which a bike can navigate a tight roundabout, and they routinely cut me off. unfortunately, I’ve avoided collisions every time that a driver has nearly hit me, because my reaction is to not get hurt. but god damn did I ever want to slam into some of those cars and leave a lasting impression

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Car!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, I do that. because I have right of way when I do it.

  I had a driver yell at me once because in her incorrect opinion I had not checked for cross traffic. I was approaching a pedestrian crossing at a roundabout that is signed that drivers must yield to pedestrians. I knew she was approaching from my left, I heard her slowing down, and I quickly glanced to confirm that she was stopping. I did this without obviously turning my head. I stepped into the crosswalk without slowing down, and she took the time to roll her window down and yell at me that I need to look around or something, and then nearly hit something as she proceeded through the roundabout trying to roll her window back up.

  I did everything just fine, she was just mad that she was too observant to notice me checking for traffic

  yes, it’s dishonest of her to say that she doesn’t like them, when she clearly does like them as an ingredient

  nobody said he was hiding the ingredients from her, grow the fuck up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨onions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  usually raw. I’ve been slacking on keeping a container of caramelized in the fridge. but a good amount are added to soups or noodle bowls etc so that’s half cooked?

  sooooo you like onions
