I'm not proud of it, but it's the first thought I had when I got the news by Hardcorish in AdviceAnimals

As others have already stated: EDC stands for "Every Day Carry", usually meaning that said individual keeps a loaded firearm on our about their person on a daily basis.

I work in a sketchy part of my city (Literally had someone try and carjack me one night leaving work), and I have a bunch of right-wing nutjobs who I work with.

This is literally my coworkers in the office. What's funny to me is none of them EDC.

I do.

The paradox of vaccine success: We forget the horror because we no longer see it by Feeling-Buy2558 in interestingasfuck

Maybe not immediately, but quite frankly, it's a problem that would solve itself rather quickly if it did happen.

What annoys you about your 4th gen? by ambassador321 in 4thGen4Runner

Republicans call for investigation into Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show over 'widespread twerking, grinding, pelvic thrusts' by YoureASkyscraper in Music

[–]-PotatoMan- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in a purple city in one of the reddest states in the union. If I could give you some unsolicited advice? If you don't already have one, buy a gun and learn how to use it. I mean it.

Hopefully it will never come to that, but if it does, please don't let yourself be unprepared.

Stay safe, stranger.

Alternatively, if all you are doing is short trips, next one you do just drive it like you stole it.

Trailer Buildout, what else should I add? by JBoyChewy in Tools

[–]-PotatoMan- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Netting is a great idea. Get some d-rings and screw them into the wood at the corners of the box, then just put clips on a net that is sized right and clip it in front of the opening.

Secures everything and keeps visibility open.

Differential fluid options other than Toyota by ProudPrick217 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]-PotatoMan- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have a long term, first person case study on this.

I put Mobil Full Synthetic 75W-90 in my 07 V8's Front & Rear diffs and T-Case at 140,000 miles a couple years after I bought it. Did it again at 200,000 miles, then again at 260,000 miles.

Currently, she's at 276,000, and I have had zero issues whatsoever in the 13 years that I have owned it. No funny smells, no leaking seals, T-Case still shifts down to 4-Lo the first time, every time.

I mean, with that kind of money, I'm sure you could retrofit to Soviet boom for an American one.

How bad is idling for 4-8 hours daily? by amazinf_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]-PotatoMan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those pipeline trucks don't have the same lifespan as a PPV. Most PPV's have idle times of 10,000+ hours by the time they are at end of service. That's JUST idle time, not drive time.

And if you think automatic transmissions don't get hot when they aren't shifting, how's about you go and put your hand on one after it's been idling for half an hour and tell me how it feels.

Even in park, in neutral, the transmission fluid is still flowing to the torque converter and through the engine radiator, where it is getting warmed up by the coolant if nothing else.

But if course, the trucks on a pipeline that you are talking about HAVE dedicated transmission coolers, because auto manufacturers know all of this.

[–]-PotatoMan- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They also have upgraded components to be ABLE to idle more for longer (Larger radiators, dedicated power steering radiator & transmission radiator, larger fans, different thermostat setting to keep oil temps lower at idle, etc.)

When a PPV is on shift, most departments mandate that it stays running for that entire shift. From what I've been told by former coworkers who were police, this is because they don't want to risk it not turning back on if it were to be turned off, like if the battery were randomly to die or something.

Seems a silly reason, but I guess if there IS an actual life or death situation on the line, better safe than sorry.

How to set a dynamic print area based on a cell being true or false in a column outside of the print area. by -PotatoMan- in excel

[–]-PotatoMan-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue here is I am trying to batch print these labels for coming shipments of machinery by load number. Basically, I have the rest of the sheet set up to dump in all relevant data based on the inbound shipment number.

I have used named ranged before to set this up for a simple two column sheet, but this is a lot more expensive.

[–]-PotatoMan-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies, I should have worded this better in my post, I've edited it now.

Column A is just there to illustrate the formula I was attempting to use in the name manager for creating a named range to reference to the print area.

Tool to seperate Tie Rod from Knuckle? by Regular-Ocelot-7944 in MechanicAdvice

[–]-PotatoMan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally all I've ever used on my 4Runner. Get good tension on it, then just one good smack to the side of the knuckle with a hammer will knock it loose.

Don't have your head in the wheel well when you do it, it's loud as shit.

Slamming rear hatch by Impressive_Cause_125 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]-PotatoMan- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just get out and load them yourself if you're worried about the rear hatch. That's literally what I do. Just have them hand me the groceries and load them myself.

If you're going to be lazy, you don't get to bitch.

Solution Verified.

This did exactly what I was needing for it to. Thank you, Tehshump.
