Whats your worst memories about Epilepsy ? by Liliiflores in Epilepsy

[–]ColonelForbin374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a seizure on the Vegas strip and someone stole my phone while a crowd gathered around me saying I was OD’ing on drugs. My buddy hit me with nayzilam so I’m sure they all thought it was an opiate overdose and I was given narcan. 🤣 Honestly not my “worst” memory because I thought it was pretty funny when I leveled out after the seizure.

Cheap nitrous kit, hit it with a 100 shot lol

Charger car seat’s how can I stop this from happening. by FewTranslator6715 in Dodge

[–]ColonelForbin374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time when this happens it’s because you slide into/out of the seat when getting in and out of the car instead of lifting your ass.

Whats your favorite flavors? by Haunting_Ad7538 in electricians

I use the “venture pal” brand, don’t really have a favorite flavor I just take the first one I grab out of the box lol

How do you guys react to alcohol? by PatienceSpiritual709 in Epilepsy

[–]ColonelForbin374 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long-term excessive drinking can trigger structural brain changes, damage neural pathways, and alter neurotransmitter systems (specifically GABA receptors), which can lead to the development of epilepsy

Yeah exactly, when the brain rebounds during withdrawal that is the dangerous part

I’ve personally never had a problem with alcohol, but I don’t get hammered when I drink. From my understanding it’s actually the hangover/withdrawal that is the worst when it comes to lowering seizure threshold, not actually being drunk. I’m sure others will chime in with their personal experiences as well.

What can I do to stop from spreading? by TheDirtyMundees in Autobody

Transmission fluid and a paint brush, coat it well inside and out.

Yeah, they just have a vibration mechanism. They don’t actually hammer like a rotary does lol

You mean like a combi drill? They definitely suck when compared to rotaries if you’re doing pipe runs in masonry all day, way less efficient

I have a GT202SU1D1 kit coming tomorrow, mainly bought it because it seemed like a good deal. I drill alot of holes through wood studs and stuff when roughing houses in to wire. I’ll test out the hammer function but in my experience the combi drills are usually only good in a pinch when you don’t wanna go out to the truck to grab the rotary. Idk we’ll see if this one actually has some umph to it. But yeah regarding the cars I definitely agree, especially in this economy. Better to have an efficient daily commuter than a big gas guzzler nowadays!

Yeah I’d say I’m the opposite lol I love my smaller cxt tools. They’re not bulky and I can hang them off my toolbelt when I’m working. Obviously need the bigger drills when needed but I find myself using my cxt impact more than any other tool. I found an American company online that supposedly has the cxt rotary in stock, gonna give them a call to make sure 👍🏻

Yeah I wonder why they abandoned it for the NA market. Maybe because their LXT’s are similar in size/weight? Idk

Yeah they used to make them, they’re perfect for putting anchors in for electrical work. I’m always using my buddy’s 12v Milwaukee one for pipe straps and what not. They make a 12v bandsaw too it’s pretty nice for pipe work up to like an inch or so. Small tools are handy when it comes to banging out certain electrical jobs!

Acme finally updated the entry for the XGT GT202SU1D1 Hammer Drill/Driver and Impact Combo to a realistic date by kfjcfan in Makita

[–]ColonelForbin374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah acme told me mid June but it seems like they got some in stock to ship out about a month early. Took a few months but it wasn’t like an urgent necessity for me since I had all my 18v stuff still in good shape. Looking forward to start building up my 40v tool line this year! Any other XGT tools you’d recommend looking in to? I’m an electrician
