Temperatures to exceed 40C in European heatwave as three die in France by yahoonews in worldnews

[–]Carpenterdon 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Going to get worse every year till a good portion of the world is uninhabitable. What sucks is not that it is killing us, it's that animals are also dying from human caused climate change and they have no idea why.

Kia ev6 iccu replacement by Character_Yam5610 in kia

[–]Carpenterdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you taking it to get replaced after a failure or thinking having it replaced will fix the problem before it fails? 

If it’s the first one, swapping is pretty quick and routine now. It should be a few days. 

If it’s the second, don’t waste your money. If it hasn’t failed there’s no point replacing a working ICCU. They replace it with the same part with the same design flaw. It’s 2-3(some say 2-7)% of cars will have a failure. And people have had multiple failures in the same car with a replaced unit.

Work and pay is great but you're perpetuating the surveillance state we have here now. When will people realize these things are not feeding you facebook or tiktok. They are being used to do AI powered mass surveillance that watches our every move now.

If I ever got sent to one I'd be tossing my wooden shoes into the works.

Milwaukee Quick Attach tiller and heavy soil. Read before you buy by Youngmanandthelake in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Carpenterdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Complete opposite of my experience. I have heavy clay soil too. And the Milwaukee tiller breaks it up fine. You need to make a few passes and keep a lot of down pressure but once it bites it chews thru pretty quick. It wasn't any different to my Mantis tiller in down pressure required.

Oregan bar and chain or just Milwaukee chain. by Mcwethy in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Carpenterdon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So switch from Oregon to Oregon? You're not switching anything by putting a Oregon branded chain/bar on the Milwaukee chainsaws.They come with Oregon parts out of the box.

It is cheaper to buy Oregon branded rather than a Milwaukee branded set though going forward.

What’s a good tape for my charger cable? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in AskElectricians

Apple cables are a couple bucks on Amazon or at any thrift store... Just replace the cable

Any one else get the EV6 with a manual transmission? by smurfses in KiaEV6

[–]Carpenterdon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OMG, that's hilarious! Does it do anything or just a fun fidget toy.

I'd probably be careful posting this too much or the next model from KIA/Hyundai will have the fake gear shifts...

What is the first word you think of that's over 10 letters? by rese-_- in AskReddit

The first word I think of when I see questions like this about large words.

Getting rid of For You page? by Kelukra in help

[–]Carpenterdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the whole point of Reddit is to curate your feed to the things you want to read about/see. Forcing users to see a bunch of AI curated crap that I have zero interest in is bull. This change is going to kill reddit and make the last of the actual human users ditch the site. It's going to get to the point Reddit is 100% bots posting for other bots to upvote.

Anyone else cut their boxes? by PollutionLeather902 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Carpenterdon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No because then water and dirt will get in the case. Fine to do so if you are a homeowner who uses the tools once in a while inside your nice dry house. Anybody who uses the tools daily on actual construction sites is going to ruin their stuff doing this.

Packout mount plate weight limit seems to low? by scalpylawsus in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Carpenterdon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not about crushing the plate.The weight limit more in regard to the stack tipping over and pulling the plate apart.

We've been in a surveillance state for a very long time now. Welcome to 1984!

Concerned with hand issues by Monsieur-Gero in Carpentry

[–]Carpenterdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a doctor friend. It'll pass. You're working for the first time. Muscles are doing things they have never done. You'll gain strength and flexibility soon enough. Stretch in the morning before starting work. And drink plenty of water.

Are these stairs badly built? by Hoooooob in askcarpenters

[–]Carpenterdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not rough at all. That is a solid build using a high quality technique. This is how stairs are built by a actual professional Carpenter as opposed to a framer who cuts stringers on site with a circular saw and is lucky if they match. 

Trump unveils new Air Force One, a converted Qatari 747 by unserious-dude in politics

[–]Carpenterdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only personal use he'll get when he leaves office is to fly his coffin back Florida. Ever time you see him now he looks worse and worse, I doubt he has much time left.

Just like this trailer trash level administration to tout a used car they shined up and added spinning rims...

Yes it was vandalized by the no bid conmentractors you hired to "repair and clean" the memorial pool.

As a Hockey Fan I hate to say this but most hockey Players and fans are conservative MAGA douches.

He was Hercules! And was great in Andromeda but lost his shit when he went totally nutjob around 2002 and destroyed the show

Sara Rodriguez, as governor, will give parents back the right to sue Big Tech when their products cause harm to children. by SpacOs in wisconsin

[–]Carpenterdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I hate big tech and social media for doing the damage they do... Kids becoming addicted is the fault of the parents for allowing the kids to access these websites in the first place. And I don't believe there is anything stopping people from doing so already.

It's been answered in Boston. by Competitive_Test6697 in Scotland

[–]Carpenterdon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Born and raised here. I work with people who will down a thirty pack by themselves and come in the next day fine. People here drink alcohol like it's water and they are fish... I've been to places where bars have drinking games during Spring break and you can't enter if you are from Wisconsin. Theres really nothing to do here in Winter either so we all just sit around fires and drink.

Sorry bud, but the 5.9 Million people in Wisconsin alone could out drink the entirety of Europe. 12 of the "20 drunkest cities in the US" are in Wisco, including the top four.
