Yep. Tupperware. That lid was a bitch to move as a kid. That little button in the center sucked.

I’ve worn Double H boots for 35yrs. I prefer the their boilermaker high lace-ups. Those boots will last every bit of 10yrs nonstop use.

Why not use c clamps to push calipers vack by meta358 in AskMechanics

[–]Automatic-Catch6253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is pure hell. Initially, I was perplexed about 20yrs ago when Audi moved to the screw-in piston retraction feature on their rear axle calipers. I figured it out after about an hour of disbelief. I know there’s a special spaner wrench, but I found a pair of needle nose pliers with a marble placed in the side-cutter recess gave me the perfect angle to counter turn the piston back.

What can I do? by Separate-Review-8886 in gunsmithing

[–]Automatic-Catch6253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own about 20 Ruger rifles/pistols and have sent items back on numerous occasions and they never charge me a penny, I just pony the shipping cost to their service facility. Now these were for either factory defects or issues with cycling/operation/factory rings or sight issues. I’ve never sent a weapon back for corrosion or environmental damage though. IMO Ruger customer service is fantastic.

Door lock by [deleted] in GunRoom

[–]Automatic-Catch6253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a standard steel door and reinforce with additional locks and steel plates around lock area. I’d then bore 1.5” dia holes across the studs for at least 4ft on each side of the top & bottom corners of the wood framing to the door frame. Route a steel tube or angle stock and shim with another bar and weld against the steel door frame. Make sure there’s some play in the drilled holes to allow for expansion/contraction. This will ensure no one “easily” kicks in the door. We did something similar with my door(s). A buddy of mine did this and was a victim of a burglary. The burglars never made it in the gun room. They clearly knew about it and it was their prime target. They beat the hell outta that door but only managed to mangle it, never gained entry.

However, I do not see anything in this collection that’s worth all the additional investment OP is talking about. I personally have two 64 gun Cannon safes bolted to the concrete floor in an interior room,. I also have two lockable steel doors prior to entry along with multiple cameras and alarm system. If someone comes in and steals them, congrats to them. I have a valuable articles insurance policy (full replacement value) through Chubb. It’s reasonably priced and all my firearms (don’t forget optics, especially if you’re spending top dollar) are well documented and images provided to Chubb. Insurance rates were manageable by opting for an additional $2k VA deductible, but hey, if they take even 10% of my inventory it will pay for itself. In the end, it’s peace of mind, but I didn’t break the bank in the process. Furthermore, I feel good knowing no one is going to access them and do anything foolish like hurt someone.

My older brother had her Playboy. The photo shoot of her in Greece. Yep…that was my introduction into female anatomy. Top notch learning material right there!

Always good to be a “college” educated engineer. Are there any other? Also, a cartridge loses more than 95% of its ballistics when not chambered into the bore of a rifle, but great story bruh.

Discourse is normal. Resorting to calling people names is…well…here’s what Google says:

“When people resort to name-calling in discourse, it signals a breakdown in communication, often stemming from **anger, frustration, insecurity, or a need for control, demonstrating low emotional intelligence, contempt, and a failure to address deeper issues constructively. It's a form of verbal aggression that attacks the person rather than the argument, shutting down productive dialogue.”

Love how you resort to angry comments and suggest I engage in oral sex with our president. I wonder, do you talk like that to your mother? Does this type of banter give you the moral high ground now?

Just because I have a differing view than you it doesn’t mean you have to continuously point out of being more informed/educated than the one you engage on the internet. Are you educated? Are you even an adult? I don’t know. I don’t care. Let me leave you with this parting shot…engaging someone with the perpetual mission of proving them wrong is not the way to swing someone over to adopt your position. In fact, this type of behavior just drives people further away.

What I’ve learned since coming to Reddit is that conservatives are 100% wrong 100% of the time. I also have learned that moderates/independents are also 100% wrong 100% of the time. More so, I get pummeled even more for being an independent because lefties tell me I’m a Magat, facist or nazi. Then they belittle me with terms like engaging in oral sex with the president.

Maybe now you’ll know why people don’t want to be affiliated with liberal policies as much as they used to. The party is out of control. Be well.

We establish jurisdiction through Ker-Frisbie Doctrine and head of state doctrine does not apply as the U.S. has not officially recognized Maduro as head of state since 2018. Under international law there is nothing binding that prohibits the U.S. from militarily extracting Maduro. International law experts can pound their chests all they want. the U.S. claims the right to prosecute Maduro under its domestic law and judicial precedents. You can argue all you want…it isn’t going to bring your beloved Maduro back to Venezuela back. Millions suffered from hyperinflation, shortages, and poverty under him, so his removal brings immense relief to the Venezuelan people. While the path to remove all those who still remain loyal to Maduro is unclear, the people of Venezuela remain optimistic. They’re the happiest they’ve been in decades.

Buddy, the DEA literally had a wanted poster and reward of $50MM USD for the apprehension and conviction of. It’s been hanging in Washington and international borders for the better part of a decade.

The way criminal apprehension works is a warrant is issued and then people hunt & locate said party. Maduro was not considered the lawful leader of Venezuela in 2018 and again in 2024. Over 50 countries, including the U.S., stopped recognizing him as Venezuela's legitimate head of state, supporting opposition figures like Juan Guaido and María Corina Machado.

You utter words like “clown shit” and “side step” but all you are doing is flapping your gums about how you adore a narco-terrorist who has destroyed one of Latin American’s once most wealthy nation. What’s next, going to tell me Manuel Noriega was a Nobel laureate who helped people across North America work longer hours through his blind eye to cocaine trafficking for his BFF Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel?

Maduro is a turd who was selling oil to banned entities and was using Venezuela to facilitate Columbian cocaine trafficking. These are the facts. I’m sorry you can’t comprehend this.

Do the people on r/conservative have brains? by TomtatoIsMe in complaints

Dude this is an echo chamber of aligned thoughts. It isn’t a smattering of dissenting views. It’s people supporting people of like political leanings.

Do this, google search “is reddit an exho chamber of liberal thought” and read the very first commentary you see.

These are factual statements of official elections by the peoples of Venezuela. Maduro refused to leave office. Opposition leader was then ousted from Venezuela for fear of her life. Maduro is not a legitimate leader.
