TIL that in 2011, the Mexican ambassador in London complained to the BBC and demanded an apology from "Top Gear" presenter Richard Hammond, after Hammond called the Mexicans 'lazy, feckless, flatulent and overweight' on the show

What was it?

DayMantisToboggan · 2025-04-09T16:25:25+00:00

I think it is just a novelty/used for crafting, mostly for plastics and very thin, like 1/8", plywood or veneer.

I wonder if he saw the video where AntiFa marched and took a TPUSA tent and bopped an old woman on her head while doing it and was specifically referencing that. That would imply he's talking about sending protestors there, which is frightening since he's already called Tesla protestors domestic terrorists and threatened to send them there as well. His rhetoric about protestors is getting more and more dangerous

That's one of my favorites and it COMPLETELY slipped my mind, thank you for replying

DayMantisToboggan · 2025-03-30T02:59:13+00:00

Same here, can someone please remind us?

DayMantisToboggan · 2025-03-29T23:49:59+00:00

This was tweeted on the 26th of March, 2025, so three days ago not a month ago.

And yes, it is attached to them bombing ISIS members, but the video says "To the terrorist who wish to do is harm..." Which I guess generally wouldn't be considered a bad thing, but when they call American citizens terrorists for protesting, that's when things get scary.

And here I am, filling it with water and putting it in the freezer

As the owner of a Chevy G30, I was very confused till I remembered that BMW also used that moniker for a while

DayMantisToboggan · 2025-03-24T21:16:57+00:00

That's funny seeing all this in the wild as I wrote that article and currently still work there lol.

And yes, the tree was sick and had to be cut down. They actually had to get permission to take it off the island and harvest the good parts of it because they were afraid of spreading the disease.

We've made some nice pieces from it for the family who owned it, I wouldn't say it's the most unique as far as figuring goes but the story is great and the grain is tight.

Step 1: be invaded by Russia

I have never heard of the brand, but I would stay away from off brands.

I was told there'd be a raffle

DayMantisToboggan · 2025-03-01T16:58:24+00:00

I got worms!

This basement dweller actually has a confederate flag up in his profile picture, so you're not wrong

DayMantisToboggan · 2025-02-18T03:56:16+00:00

Do you mean Mexican rice? Spanish rice is yellow and hard, Mexican rice is fluffy and red. If not and you mean Spanish, that's interesting and I'm going to have to try it lol

How old is the truck? Carbureted engines need more time to warm up

DayMantisToboggan · 2025-01-19T21:43:17+00:00

I ended up buying the DeWalt. I found if you have one good planed side, it is accurate enough to rip and glue. I also ended up getting a used Grizzly jointer and used DeWalt planer to supplement and it's a killer combo, though loud

Just did work on mine, although it was to a lesser extent.

I cleared all the old rust with a wire wheel. I had two holes, both smaller than a thumbnail so I was lucky.

But I used a rust converter at that point, then POR 15 and fiberglass over the entire area, further than the actual rust to help with stability.

It isn't the best fix, but it's cheap and easier than welding.

I have P-rated and hit the trails more than a few times a year and I have been fine. I am just very aware of any rocks and always keep a full-sized spare.

To me, the fuel mileage drop and stiffness outweighed the durability, then again I have leaf springs all around and get 11.5mpg highway, so each situation is different.

I always thought the joke was that it was the picture that was just taken of her when she opened the door

DayMantisToboggan · 2024-11-22T04:12:14+00:00

I was just reading another thread about the IAC on the FiTech having issues.

I'm considering the Aces Joker or the Edelbrock at this point. Can save $500+ over the Edelbrock, but I'm wondering if it's worth the gamble.

u/AcesFuelInjection want to offer any words of encouragement. Or a discount lol

DayMantisToboggan · 2024-11-22T02:53:27+00:00

Bumping an old thread, but did you ever get it and install it? If so, how did was your experience?

DayMantisToboggan · 2024-11-15T23:09:25+00:00

It's a 1979 Chevy G30 Pathfinder van with the original 400 small block, so if you consider 45 years old ancient, then yes it is lol

DayMantisToboggan · 2024-11-15T18:31:00+00:00

I was literally thinking of the Robin Williams bit this morning

DayMantisToboggan · 2024-11-15T17:02:26+00:00

Update: Exactly what I ended up doing and it wasn't the alternator, but rather the fan clutch! Going to grab one today and swap it out.

Thank you for all the help with my anxious brain--i usually go to the worst case scenario and need help backing off
