  That sounds more reasonable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how to cut aluminum pipe with hardly any comments about flock cameras⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That depends on the tools used.

  Basically, there are tools (blades) that are better at aluminum and some that are better at steel.

  You can use a wood cutting blade on aluminun, its noisy but effective.

  This would be a good time waster, but that depends on how they “repair” them. Do they diagnose the issues, or do they just install a new one and toss the old one?

  If they REALLY wanted to help trimp they would all run over to the Persian gulf and make a chain of yachts to guide the tankers safely through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I, a bike rider, look when my coworkers complain about gas prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, the quiet is the best part. Allegedly my EV is quieter on the road than a Rolls-Royce.

  Sometime around 2020 they made a rule that they had to make some kind of noise. My car is older than that, and I have startled enough cyclists to understand why its needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I, a bike rider, look when my coworkers complain about gas prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have my little combustion engine car, a Mitsubishi Mirage sedan. 3 cylinders and a manual transmission, reliable as a hammer for the last 170,000 miles. My personal best was loading a 12ft long extendable telescoping handle.

  Small car logistics is fun.

  Im that guy who fixes small engines and computers.

  To be fair they seem to have trouble selling them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I, a bike rider, look when my coworkers complain about gas prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also, to me, relaxing.

  I don’t have to worry about the bands/clutches in the transmission, I don’t have to worry about bad gas, I don’t have to worry about what this or that engine noise means, I just have to plug it in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I, a bike rider, look when my coworkers complain about gas prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  but is your powerful (not even a little bit insecure) masculinity being projected effectively??

  I ask myself that every day in my dorky little EV. Sure, it will beat nearly any truck up to 60 mph, but it doesn’t blow black smoke out of the side and it doesn’t sound like marbles rattling in a steel can. I tried putting a playing card in the wheel spokes but it was still too quiet.

  Maybe it needs speakers on the back like one of the new chargers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I, a bike rider, look when my coworkers complain about gas prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I noticed that the chuds were hurting when they started asking questions about the little car I drive. Wanting to know how much gas it used. Wanting to know if it is reliable.

  In 2005 I was riding a bicycle to work and loving it, sadly it’s now a 70 mile round trip to work, and it would all be along roads that would 100% get me killed on a bicycle. Which sucks because I always feel so good after a decent ride.

  Ive decided on harm reduction and sort of a new hobby - I bought one of the first production electric cars, a second generation Leaf. It was ridiculously cheap and it’s easily rebuildable, even the battery. Its fun watching my supervisor sneer at the little car while also bitching about having to drive a diesel-powered 1 ton truck 80 miles a day for 5 dollars a gallon.

  I frequent a DG Market in a rural area. They shut the self checkouts down pretty quick due to theft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fun part that I have heard from a few retail managers is that the software that the self checkout uses costs as much or more per month than the employee would have.

  Plus most of us are assisting our elderly surviving parents

  I keep seeing this with people I know, including my spouse and myself. We have spent our entire marriage so far taking care of old family members. Why us? Because my wife is literally the only competent person anyone in her family knows. And she’s very caring and compassionate.

  Or she was. None of the elderly people we have supported have been nice or easy to care for. My wife got tired of feeling used. We have decided that we are no longer an unpaid skilled nursing service and therefore we are the most heartless people to have ever existed. It has not been popular but there aren’t yet laws demanding we take care of them.

  My family, on the other hand, is more organized and generally heathier. But i have still explained to my parents that they had better have a plan, because we aren’t it.

  And I wonder, how many other genx and millenials have made this same decision? How many will sleep on the Boomer-only bench?

  If you’re going to build some kind of suit, you’d want the machines in the metal shop to be intact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is 23⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1.) Go find a temp agency, apply to get some job, any job, in a fabrication shop or machine shop.

  2.) Show up every day mostly sober, even if you’re sweeping the floor or running a grinder.

  3.) Take an interest in thr equipment. Learn about it. Learn how to use calipers and a tape measure.

  4.) Eventually they will train you on a machine. Maybe a mill, maybe a lathe, maybe a plasma cutter or brake or laser. Learn how to run it, learn how to run some of the other machines.

  5.) Keep learning and never want for a job again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My 98 Oldsmobile⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the weird problems car guys ran into in the 1990’s was cars with non-functional R12 A/C. If you had one that had lost it’s gas, that was it unless you could find someone’s forgotten stash of white cylinders or wanted to circulate high pressure propane in front of and around an internal combustion engine.

  Nowadays it’s easy enough to change it over to R134a.

  This morning I started with 92% and the Guess-O-Meter told me 127 miles. When I charge it to 100% it tells me between 136 and 141 miles. I have a second-gen with the 40kwh battery.

  I don’t know yet how far it will really go on a charge, as I have never run it down, but I have done 100 mile days with no issue. I normally charge from a 110 outlet, sometimes I use a 220.
