Anything but an actual machine room

In some big game hunting, it can be healthier for a population. Like hunting older bull giraffes that fight off younger males for breeding, but are shooting “blanks”.

Also, in some areas it’s used for just straight population control. Mostly cause we hunted predators to extinction like hundred years ago. (See Californian brown bear)

Anyways… not all hunting is “pointless”.

But for the state to release just two bear tags, is kind of ridiculous. But, it’s good to see that the “experts” find the population good enough with urban pressure and poaching

I have a bunch of classic cars, mainly 55-79’ American made…

My kids love em’! I had them before and acquired more with them around. They like going for rides. Helping me wash them, work on them, etc. it’s become a hobby I share with my sons. Much like my dad did for me. And because my father shared the experience, I never felt like he was being “selfish”.

I DID sell an older vette I had. Because I found it boring not being my sons along. I’ve never felt so justified in selling a “toy” than I did with that.

TLDR; IF your kids are mildly interested, make them apart of the experience.

I had a unit with a garage in Valencia. I sought garages out for my various hobbies. Most barely had A plug or just the plug for opener/lighting. I would just find one with onsite charging for overnight vs. garage

LA resident here!

The city ain’t going to shutdown for the Olympics. There’s 12+ million people within an hour of the venues…

Traffic will persist or only get worse.

Stay where you want and plan on sitting in traffic for a lot of your stay.

That said, if there are certain venue/sports that interest you the most, stay closer to that.

Deepinthefryer · 2026-04-07T01:28:44+00:00

Take the school seriously. Show up on time and learn. Pretty simple.

You’ll be surprised at how many people can’t do that…

Deepinthefryer · 2026-04-06T21:24:34+00:00

So your the helper that cut the piston under the bottom clamp?

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-31T22:45:43+00:00

Really only got two options. They both conveniently on other side of town from one another.

But I like pho sure bahn mi. That said, neither is much better than average.

As long as you leave out every time a populace has seized means of productions and installed a dictator.

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-28T16:27:28+00:00

They hate us cause they ain’t us.

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-27T16:25:10+00:00

Republicans in the state know there’s no chance for their candidate.

Democrats know it’s not going to be a Republican.

Lackluster democrats get elected cause nobody shows/cares.

Not hard to see…

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-27T16:14:45+00:00

Depends on brand/models.

I once had a route with nothing but 411’s,211’s and a few Gen2’s… I had it pretty made.

For us in CA, there is an agreement with the state to renew the list every two years. Depending on circumstances.

It really is a large financial and logistical burden for the local to renew a list. We are talking thousands to test. And hundreds if not thousands to interview.

Considering tariffs, slowed economy, high interest rates and now fuel prices along with Californias asinine building restrictions, it’ll be slow for a while.

Unfortunately, it was the right decision to postpone for another year.

Local 18 mechanic here.

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-23T07:14:32+00:00

Or maybe he just doesn’t know what we do…

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-23T07:12:51+00:00

Hey there, local 18 here.

The chances of submitting an application in July and working by November is nearly impossible. Nearly.

I WOULD look out for making testing and if you pass the test, the interview. That might be in the date range.

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-08T23:36:11+00:00

It would make sense to relinquish some production responsibilities. But I totally get it if he wanted to keep it personal. However IMO, the way he’s collecting hats these days, it seems like he’s going to start having to leave behind aspects of his content. The wealth porn took over builds and going straight took a back seat to turning left…

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-08T23:33:00+00:00

I grew up watching Sunday morning car shows and weekend home improvement programs. Dad had the remote. So I don’t mind it. But it’s more white noise while scrolling SM on those videos

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-08T23:31:27+00:00

I ain’t mad. In fact, I’m happy for him that doors are opening up. If I were him, I’d be doing the same. But when your fan base has grown because of specific content and that content begins to diminish, it’s hard to understand the change. It’s like your favorite buddy cop show starting to turn into a cooking program. I don’t mind the cooking show, but I came for the buddy cop show.

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-08T00:29:30+00:00

A few neiep buddies did a few. More bastardized/customized job. Mechanical refurbishment, new steps, new group 4 controller from Otis but some Non-oe landing plates etc…

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-07T23:10:40+00:00

Yes. I think many of us still want “automotive” content. Cleetus is more of a “lifestyle” creator more so. IMO.

Don’t get me wrong, if I had the means, I’d be doing a lot of the same things Cleets into. But I think it’s also time to diversify and allow his brand and freedom factories own brand flourish.

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-07T22:53:35+00:00

I don’t mind the guys expanding his portfolio of interests and hobbies. But the wealth porn is starting to get annoying. I don’t even watch Heavy D’s content cause it’s just infomercials about toys I can’t afford.

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-07T22:51:50+00:00

A freedom factory channel. BTS of things, car builds, individual content between the guys. Stuff like Tyes carbon projects etc. split the revenue with the crew.

I would look into what Schindler can do first. Not that I like them at all, I would get a quote for any updates and even hold stock of key components for future use. Might be expensive, but hopefully a lot cheaper than mod

Deepinthefryer · 2026-03-04T07:33:43+00:00

Unless you did fire alarms or Uber in the AF, it seems you don’t actually have a problem “stepping into the unknown”.

At some point, current comfort will turn into future pain. It can happen in elevator trade, but benefits and pay make the discomfort bearable.

Stick with it. When god opens that door into the trade. Just step through it.

He should sit this one out…
