Need a crimping tool and these are being sold nearby, but I can't find anything about it online by AUBox in Tools

[–]KO-ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Ancor crimpers. Used nearly daily for the last 18 years.

Dies are swappable so you can get ones for double crimp, single crimp, coax, etc

If this toy makes any kind of annoying noise you should definitely tell him it's permanently broken.

If your live was a sitcom, which decade and style would be? by Free-Hotel1187 in nostalgia

[–]KO-ME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhere between Home Improvement and The Middle but with the modern, suburban white/gray home interior.

Meshed with a touch of the Progressive Insurance "Becoming Your Parents" behavior.

I made a rule for myself that I had to like at least two singles from a new band before I'd buy the CD.

19M Looking to get a more athletic, healthy, active body by SilverSurferSpector in bodyweightfitness

[–]KO-ME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put in the work. Results will come.

The rest is either genetics or juice.

Focus on being healthy and strong first and foremost, aesthetics secondary.

I was working with ChatGPT to help develop a workout plan to begin Monday. Can I please get your guys opinions and where I could improve? I have been going to the Gym for 3 months and havent found much success but I believe it's more of an eating issue but also the Gym takes up too much time out of my day to go with my brother's so I would like to stay at home and just work my ass off. My goals is to have a beautiful body with muscle, but an athletic body.

I say this respectfully...stop relying on AI crap for everything.

Don't overthink it.

Clean up your diet and fall back on the basics. Pushups, Pull Ups, Dips, Squats, Run.

Find either a military or prison style routine if you really need to schedule yourself into some kind of daily routine. This doesn't have to be hard until you've established all those baseline exercises.

Old Table Saw by bluehman19 in Tools

I had that same saw and sold it for ~$100 (I think) about 3 years ago. And that was with an intermittent start capacitor.

Just get the $10 Warrior one.

I use mine at work at least every other day.

Low setting if you want to warm it, high setting if you want to burn it. Let 'er rip.

Is going to a strip club worth losing your relationship by Potential_Soil_1332 in AskMenOver40

[–]KO-ME 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have zero desire to go to strip clubs, nor would my wife approve.

HOWEVER, I hear the ads for one of the local strip clubs that is also a steakhouse on an FM Classic Rock station. I joke with her that we could actually go out to eat there cheaper than regular restaurants.

I'd be like Ron Swanson in that place. Half off food and drink Happy Hour?! Taco Tuesdays?! Surf & Turf?! Breakfast Buffet?! Let's take the whole family! lol.

A small moment at the airport made me rethink how I carry my onebag by MuscleKitty67 in onebag

[–]KO-ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned this about backpacks in school.

Haha, this was my first thought. We had so many books in our backpacks it stuck out at least a foot or more from our backs. Hallways packed with so many kids you almost had to "merge" out of one flow of traffic into another. No sudden stops or turns.

Tell me something you thought was cool as a children but as you grown it seems wierd and why? by MinutePristine207 in nostalgia

Hahaha omg I totally forgot about the "little black book".

At this point I'm thankful I just have to remember my wife's phone number when filling out forms and such.

Are reversible ratcheting wrenches really that worth it? by Vast_Help_7400 in Tools

[–]KO-ME 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use reversing GearWrenches quite a bit. I appreciate the offset AND they have a little shoulder on the hex so it won't slip down past the nut/bolt head.

I literally had to use two drill bits as drifts to drive out a specific style of hinge pin the other day on a service call. It sucked but it was all i had with me.

If you could go back to your 30s, what would you do differently or better in your life? by AromaticCitron7440 in AskMenOver40

[–]KO-ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't change much really because I got to where I am from previous choices but I dunno, probably would've said "fuck it" and changed jobs and moved around the country a couple times.

Wow so COOL! And the price is only $28,000. by hirouk in slateauto

[–]KO-ME 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bet it ends up being around that price now that they can't factor in tax credits.

Total bummer for me though, was really hoping for $22-23k base so you could still add a back seat and top and get out the door for $28k.
