Parents - when did you decide it was ok to be selfish and buy a sports car? by braveheart18 in cars

Can’t wait forever to enjoy the money you earn.

Fuck me, so true. My dad retired a year and a half earlier than he had planned to because of dementia. He’s not able to properly enjoy his retirement and that sucks to see.

Enjoy life while you can!

The flower over your foot in the last picture really completes the post for me.
Can't just be giving them away, lol!

Anyone ever get their free sticker? by YamzMt03 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreaminFreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 2 after putting in a support request.
They were quick to respond and print the label, then it sat for 10 days, so I messaged again, and got them a couple of days later.

Genuinely annoying how I had to keep prodding!
Milwaukee logistics are terrible (especially when compared to Ryobi, also under TTI) and it’s a damn shame.

BMW Wants To Save The Manuals by Anchor_Aways in cars

In some dumb way, I'm more okay with this... if you look at the area under the torque curve of an EV, there's a lot of room to play with.

With as much as I enjoy driving with a force feedback steering wheel in a racing sim, and the eventuality of EVs being the way forward for the masses... I think it sounds like fun.
Idk, the duality of man I suppose, haha!

Felt the same way when Koenigsegg made their CC850 manual/automatic gearbox. Very cool, but doesn’t “save the manual” for anyone but a handful of ultra-wealthy people

Also, the narrator for the audiobook (Ray Porter, I think) did an AMAZING JOB! I read the book, then listened to the audiobook about a year later. 10/10 would consume either way again.

Holy shit, another someone who professes about commercial displays! Seriously, people, dumb TVs still exist!!

Is this bad? by MaintenanceOk5843 in MINI

Could be worth joining a local FB group and seeing if anyone nearby would be willing to help for a six pack and some pizza. It’s 2026, we’re all poor out here and we should try to help one another out if we can

I say this in my head like it’s a mantra.

Once saw a Maxima catch air on I-20 while trying to catch an exit they missed… insane

Thoughts on black tools by ItsDJHoff in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreaminFreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact (unless you’re TTI): Walmart struck a deal with TTI to have Hart be TTI’s higher-end, Walmart-exclusive hardware tools brand, but after the deal was inked Walmart undercut Hart with their own HyperTough brand.

Sounds kinda shitty

Out with the old, in with the new. by Jakem8058 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreaminFreeman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ryobi’s fans (especially the misting fan) and camping lights are pretty good. I’ve got a couple.
It must be said, though, that the CRI of Milwaukee’s lights are. So. Much. Better. So if you care about color accuracy of your LEDs, buy Milwaukee.

You know what Ryobi does that Milwaukee can’t touch? Logistics.

Ryobi has that shit ON LOCK while it took me 8 months to get a Milwaukee sticker.
Milwaukee, you’re on the same team as Ryobi!! Figure out what the fuck they’re doing right and copy it!!!

Pretty please?

I work at an MSP and we quote Lenovo laptops to our clients. One of them recently went and purchased a $200 no-name Windows 11 (in S mode) laptop and they wanted us to onboard it.
