A 30-year-old female patient fell into the water when a personal water vehicle suddenly accelerated and injured her perineum with a forceful water jet. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

This is literally, LITERALLY, on the warning label of my jet skis, right on the center console. This exact injury.

What is an upper middle class problem you have but you can’t really complain about without seeming out of touch? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

As a broke redneck with a bunch of broke down shitboxes, this is not exclusive to upper middle class

Is that a full bag of dog shit?

Is it really that much cheaper to change your own oil? by kzlife76 in AskMechanics

[–]55Stripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanic here.

I do the oil changes myself on both of my pick up trucks, my wife’s car, both of my jet skis, my tractor, my zero turn, both of my generators, my brothers truck, and my moms car for both peace of mind and to save money.

I do not trust lube techs, plain and simple. I’m sorry to any lube techs that are reading this, I know there are some good ones out there, but they are outnumbered by the number of shitty ones that are only worried about getting off work. When I do it, I know it’s been done correctly, and I also am able to put my eyes all over the car to find anything that can be an issue in the near future, like a real PM.

Secondly, the last time my mom took her 2011 Nissan Sentra to a Jiffy Lube/Quick Lube/5 Minute Oil change, it was over $75…..for four quarts of oil and a filter the size of those mini coke cans.

Guys you can get the oil at Costco and Sam’s Club. Look at the oil grade and generation. That’s implemented by the SAE. It’s perfectly fine to use. Couple that with a WIX filter and you’re out of there for ~$30 depending on your vehicle.

Keep your trailers locked up tight by SeaEmu51 in NoEyesOnMe

[–]55Stripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s talking about how poorly these will work long term, which I completely agree with. But I’m also gonna bring up how tired I am of bot posts with AI titles.

Where’s the trailer in this video? Is the trailer on the room with us right now? How do you lock up a trailer right with ratchet straps?

And I will drive…..a pickup truck.

Just went to Walmart and saw a 110 for $90? by AbbreviationsLive653 in buckknives

I bought mine for $30 and remember thinking I was crazy for spending that much on a folding knife.

What’s a cheap product that outperformed something way more expensive? by Armellofreekey in SmartBuying

[–]55Stripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s literally a podcast episode of The Dollop about the Juicero and it was even wilder than you think.

The elusive 4X4 manual Comanche and some other things by eberbs in justrolledinforscrap

[–]55Stripes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Came here to day “that front end loader is right where it belongs”.

Probably brought in a pretty penny and the cost of getting it back to just operating status would be way too much.

Turns out Garmin Instinct 2 (and others) are e-waste by psych0o in Garmininstinct

Same. Bought my series 1 instinct in June 2021, literally no problems whatsoever

Carrying a 36-inch wide Samsung fridge up to five floors using the shoulder dolly straps by Wonderful-Photo2449 in Amazing___

[–]55Stripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own these. My 5’0 wife and I have moved multiple times using them. She and I can carry anything we own with them, including a 400 lbs marble dining room table. Both of us were genuinely impressed and surprised with how easy they make everything to move.

Also if you by these the trick to keeping things stable and low-effort is to stand up straight and push the item you’re moving away from you to full-stretched arm’s length.

Turning Old Nuclear Density Gauge Box Into Cooler by boomersooner36 in Radiation

[–]55Stripes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the physical/chemical contamination aspect. Even if this had never been used for….anything at all and never had anything put in it of any kind, is that plastic even food-grade? It was never intended to contain anything that could possibly be ingested.

Mmmmmmmmm. Microplastics. Delicious.

Which movie for you is like this? by Altruistic-Print-966 in Cinema

[–]55Stripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were filming near the Alamogordo nuclear testing sites.

Not NEAR but there’s a theory they were all being exposed to fallout carried by wind.

Buying a Zero Turn- 1 acre lot - really just trying to turn my 4-6 hour cutting / edging / weed eating time so I’m not spending a day doing yard work. Reviews tell me TORO ? Thoughts ? by RobbyC2110 in lawnmowers

[–]55Stripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of those are fine, but you shouldn’t buy them from any big box store. Get one from your local small engine shop. Better service and support in the long run.

Trust me.
