  nah, she’s just another level up from where you’re thinking

  if it’s Robertson, the impact driver is the tool to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recession indicator, what do you call this dish?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  tuna, mayo, mustard, onion, celery, salt, tomato

  mix any and all in whatever portions please you. you can get great flavour and texture

  ah ok, I’m not very familiar with cats. thank you

  problem is I do half my shopping by bike (so I try to leave the bags in my basket) and 80% without a cart (so I still need to transport things from cash to my car)

  usually when I forgot to bring bags in I can just do an awkward armful back to the car

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dealing With An Aussie Phone Company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  mine texts me once a month or so about promotions or updates on legal stuff in my country

  usually that shit pisses me off but it happens so infrequently or is actually good info that I don’t mind it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time keeps marching forward⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lightweight cars are fine in the winter. just get snow tires and drive well

  source: drove a tercel in the winter for years, did it later on with a Yaris as well

  I dislike heavier cars because they have so much more momentum. hard to change direction with little traction and you run into things with more energy. little cars you can just spin the wheels, find some traction, and go where you’re pointing.

  clearly you didn’t learn, since diamonds are a pretty common shape

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did that for a long time, but there’s so many that I just kinda gave up on keeping up with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever relics⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever relics⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Food served to US service men & women.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah it’s pretty infuriating that terrorists get free meals

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are solutions to our problems...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what happens when AI trains on Instagram shitposts⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yes, that is the point of the post…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Greatest unsolved mysteries⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We all know that Mr Beast, Logan Paul, and KSI are all horrible people. Why do they still have subscribers?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This isn't fair⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here comes some more holes in the drywall⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you can acknowledge stereotypes as jokes without succumbing to judging people IRL prematurely

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is only a little strange⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end is near⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  white nationalism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Car!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Car!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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