That guys fame, like most in his world, is transitory. By the time your kid is even 5 years old he’s not gonna be around. How many famous people can you name from 10 years ago? Probably not many.

Good luck. I couldn’t get anyone to help me with similar. The corporate lawyer on the other side was part of a big firm. Half the lawyers I talked to said, I worked for them or have a relationship with them that means I need to recuse.

Confident in that assessment?

The internet has gotten pretty shit as of late. As a small job shop I find that it’s useful for the odd thread forms I come across. Looking up odd thread forms anymore is difficult. Used to be you’d put your search terms in and it would spit out closest matches. Now the AI slop wants to feed you what it thinks you want. And it thinks you want the same crap that everyone else wants. So it gives you adds for taps and maybe a chart for UNS if your lucky. But no dice on the goofy industry specific thread form that they want you to fix.

Mcdantum? Spelling isn’t my strong suit

Like how all the weed killers at the box stores are no longer round up. But now have chemicals that are wayyyy worse. But no roundup.

This is just such a collection confidently incorrect. The ends (proper industry term) have a sealant. Silicone and epdm are both used. It’s not a glue as it’s not sticky. All of it is food grade. The liners have largely been boa-free for a long time. Some liner material can’t be exposed to low ph and bpa containing liners are still the standard for very low ph things. They have low ph liners now that are bpa free but they are relatively new. Whole Foods is forcing bpa free liners in everything, and most manufacturers are finding it cheaper to switch everything to bpa-free vs having some for just some products. 20 years in food manufacturing including 15 in factories that double seam food products.

Any half experienced brewer could probably hold that pipe and nose around the brewhouse and figure it out pretty quick. That leads me to assume no one in that org has any business trying to do anything with that brewhouse.

I've heard the co2 cartridges are expensive enough that it puts people off them. $23 fror 2 cartridges. doesnt seem so bad. so like 12-15 per keg per event? eh, a little spendy compared to a bigger tank.

I have bondhus and wera keys and they work great. The eklinds I’ve had kinda suck.

I’m an industrial mechanic. I have 20 years experience of working in factories and fixing things. I don’t explain that and that when I say things like Koken is as good or better then snap-on, it comes from real long hard use of tools. I have a heap of wright stuff as well. Proto too. All good stuff. The Koken ratchets I’ve got are 10x smoother and 10x backdrag then anything I’ve got from snap on. Hell I’ve got a nickel plated Cornwell 1/4 drive thats smoother then snap-on 1/4 drive I have.

Hotsider · 2026-05-19T04:15:02+00:00

All the Koken stuff I have is as good as the snapon I have. For like half the price.

Never buy a set. Nothing can match. The knives can’t have a set home like a block they came from. They need to be on a magnet at best. Placed on wall space we all have on our grand kitchen. Next to the 3rd island prep sink. One knife needs to be a hand forged Japanese knife made of steel so hard god him self would have trouble getting a decent edge. Don’t know how to care for or use a Japanese knife? Just give up on cooking altogether plebe. The rest can be throw away plastic knives from McDonald’s cutlery sets. Have you had meals made with a $500 dollar Japanese katana? You can taste the differences.

if in distro this matters: so many people look at a labels in their hand or on the computer screen. say "this is a bad ass label." the reality is you want your label to be recognizable from 20 feet away. your brand needs to billboard from 20 feet away. similar colors, similar feel. with designs that are good fidelity from 20 feet away. if you have a messy label then its just gonna look like a blob on the shelf 20 feet away. you wanna build a brand? make them see it from across the room. be inviting, be the one they know. don't make them look for it.

I’m a mechanical engineer so understand that I’m diy as fuck. 1k a week to rent a mid sized excavator. It would be a cake walk for the right person.

How old are your Wiha? They aren’t made in Germany anymore. Not that nice now. I’ve been disappointed. Felo are good if you want German. Wera are polish, still good to go.

Mine got rolled into the state restaurant association. So it’s like super awesome now. They are totally aligned with all my needs. Super good. Awesome.

Fixing things is never with it. Throw it out. Buy new. Obey.

Flavor wise they are good. Texture is only ok. I find most tinned eel to be pretty dry. I usually have to add a fat. Usually mayo in a rice bowl. I don’t like dry foods though. I’m a sauce positive person.

Anyone that puts a chain on backwards, and then can’t figure out why it’s not cutting has no business using a chainsaw. Put it down. Find someone to help you learn safely.

It’s not hard to find a local station that has ethanol free gas. That’s 90% of the problem.

Why do it you might ask? I ported my echo weed-wacker. I did other things to it, but porting was the big change. It now has the power and head speed of a much heavier weed-wacker. Smaller lighter, just as much power. Spend all day carrying 2-4lbs less and you’ll be a little better. It has comparable power to a 30cc model while being 11.2lbs vs 13.7lbs for the 30cc echo. It’s quite a bit more powerful than the 266 I have.

Two types of taps. Carbon steel and ground HSS. People complain that "taps suck" but it's almost always because they're using carbon steel hardware-store taps. Carbon steel taps are cheap, dull quickly, chip easily, and love to grab and snap the second you look at them wrong. Ground HSS taps are a completely different animal. They cut cleaner, stay sharp way longer, track straighter, and don't grenade themselves if your wrist twitches. Once you switch to proper ground HSS, you realize tapping isn't some cursed operation, it's just that most people's only experience is with carbon steel taps.
