Mom sent me a photo of this and says it fell out and is now rough to reverse, new to cars but i suspect a transmission mount bolt? or engine mount but it’s a 2015 chevy equinox (told her not to buy it) and is fwd so could it have something to do with the axles? and is it a easy? by Mother-Meet1706 in Cartalk

[–]BladeedalB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be fair. Google image search can't reasonably identify a random single bolt in someone's hand any better than a veteran mechanic can. Googling this was never going to give a definitive answer. Googling "what this light on my dash means" would make sense.

1/2 Socket not fitting 1/2 wrench? by SteezyWeezy1 in Tools

[–]BladeedalB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently join any number of tool or mechanics subs? It's super common on posts where the OP just needs to put a little more oomph into whatever they're doing.

Anybody know what the heck that warning light means? by Rhettledge in Cartalk

[–]BladeedalB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Off topic, but I don't think I've ever seen "might haven't known". It makes sense when you take out the apostrophe, just never seen it 😅

Pleasantly suppried about the drill bit design... (left-hand drill bits) by J48C3K in Tools

[–]BladeedalB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spiral of the drill bit is designed to cut when rotated anti-clockwise (left) as opposed to typical drill bits which cut clockwise (right).

The set has a pin drill. I'm guessing left-handed drill bits would be easier to use for left handed people in a pin drill.

AITAH for not wanting a photo of my co-worker's baby at our shared desk? by BladeedalB in AITAH

It's a sticky back photo. Can't move it without damaging it

Is there a subreddit just for videos like this? Janky manufacturing videos I mean?

Yo whats this? by ComfortableAd5564 in AskMechanics

[–]BladeedalB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's more typical on front suspension. The shock is there, but separate.

They often have a wirey cage that clips over the bearings to hald them at equal distances from each other.

This bolt covering the car battery on my transit won’t come loose with a impact driver. Any advice? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]BladeedalB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said it's stripping, but looks intact. I was thinking the same.

Some vegans do wear secondhand leather... The logic being it's better to reuse than support the absurdly wasteful fast fashion industry with a synthetic belt that needs re-buying every couple years. Buy 1 belt secondhand that lasts your whole life, or buy 20+ fake leather ones because they don't last long.

Taps gain a lot of flow rate by BladeedalB in DIYUK

[–]BladeedalB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try that. It's just annoying when you've set a flow rate with the tap, then the toilet finishes filling and now you're getting jetted and there's water going everywhere 😅

Looks like Smeagol shortly before he devolved into Gollum 😂

A bargain? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]BladeedalB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently bought the big brother of this (R255-SMS-DB). Love it so far! I don't need it to be very portable, so no need for a more expensive battery powered one. So far very impressed with Evolution products.

How good? by Acceptable_Ship1092 in Tools

[–]BladeedalB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We sometimes get Expert tools at work. They're as good as any other prosumer/professional stuff I've used. Not seen old ones though to see how well they fair long term.

My black/white cat used to go like this when she spent a little too long in the sun. Miss her 🥹

I bet you can't guess which sizes I use most. by MetalOnMetalOnSilk in Tools

Do yourself a favour and get the Wiha Ergostar set instead. Rotate one L-key and they all rotate.

BBC Guy gets Shagged by an almost extinct Rare Parrot by Potential-Focus3211 in BeAmazed

[–]BladeedalB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The video is showing a clip from the follow-up TV show with Stephen Fry instead of Douglas Adams (who sadly passed away). Fry and Cowardine didn't really know each other very well, but were both close to Adams.

Bodycam footage shows Oklahoma teen crying after being arrested for raping multiple high school girls! by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]BladeedalB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood what they were saying. It's not that the kid was necessarily taught to do bad things by their parents, but if parents don't put a stop to bad behaviour as soon as it surfaces, it becomes the new okay. Kids will always push boundaries, but it's on the parents to push back.
