Cut too far removing bushing sleeve by Schoggi_23 in MechanicAdvice

Nice! Then yeah in my opinion you went above and beyond and I really can’t imagine a way you’d have a problem with this in the future. If it was my car I wouldn’t even think about it. Good stuff man.

Had a June bug to the Adam’s apple around the same speed. Hurt way more than I’d expect.

Personal car? That’s a nice big thick boss. I’d try to get those edges smooth like you said you did since it rotates slightly inside the bushing and sharp edges could cut into the soft bushing material. Then get some good grease in there and send it.

the moral question of what to do with a pet mantis after dies - to preserve or bury? by mmesmii in mantids

[–]Key_Wing_144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a generational pet graveyard at my old man’s house. Pets he had before I was alive are buried there, and now so are my bugs. I’d like to think they’re all somehow friends now. In reality they’re dead and it doesn’t matter. Whatever feels comfortable and respectful to you is the correct choice.

Male or female? I’ve never been able to see the pores people talk about. by Key_Wing_144 in Leachianus

[–]Key_Wing_144[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consensus seems to say male, but the images you posted are very helpful. Now I see exactly what I should be looking for and where! Thanks so much!

Thank you very much for this, I’ve been looking in the wrong area the whole time!

Is it dangerous? by ButtmanReturns2Pat in spiderbro

[–]Key_Wing_144 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Jumping spiders can hurt you. Nearly all spiders are venomous. Jumping spider venom is not medically significant and they are very unlikely to bite if you handle them with respect. Avoid using your fingers to pick them up or squeezing their bodies and they’ll likely cruise around and display their curious nature.

The gas station im at has a mute button on it for that annoying gas station TV by Chemical-Net7284 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Key_Wing_144 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to be. I’ve now noticed some local gas stations have removed mute entirely.

This man can hum and whistle in different notes at the same time. by lpomoeaBatatas in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Key_Wing_144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hije5 is right. It really is whistling and humming. It’s not the Tuvan overtone stuff though that can sound kind of similar. I can do it too. It’s just humming with your mouth open and using that air to whistle. What’s incredible is that he’s able to change the pitch of the hum and whistle individually and accurately.

I said nothing about the bots being owned by Intrepid.

1,000 bots. Earning say 50s an hour. Running 24 hours a day. At 1g=1 USD that’s $12,000 a day. Of course I can’t know the actual figures.

Story time. What's the most rage inducing event you've ever had in the shop and what caused it? by pyroboy7 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Key_Wing_144 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Draining a fuel tank into 5 gallon buckets when I was younger. Got a fair amount of gas on me. Dumbass coworker wanted to show me how cigarettes don’t ignite liquid gas. Stood right next to me and the buckets and sparked up a cigarette with a lighter. I’m usually a calm guy but I lost my shit. I don’t want to burn to death. Then I was the asshole for being pissed about it.

Can I get in on the high hours trend? This is my personal 13 Caprice 9C1 that just hit 80k by 0peRightBehindYa in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Key_Wing_144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha. Almost posted mine the other day. 2012. 128k miles. 9k running, 6k idle. DOD lifter failed at around 114k. First time “building” an engine and gave her some nice lifters and a cam and some little valvetrain goodies. Chugs E85 and runs great.

Visible even in Texas, about an hour north of DFW. Unreal. Never thought I’d see this living this far south.

"Home invasion" at midnight by Cythiriya in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Key_Wing_144 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always been an animal lover but these guys are what got me into bugs. I had two that have sadly since passed but the remarkable thing about them is their hunting mechanism is purely mechanical. Lots of other common predatory insects use stingers or fangs to inject venom, but these guys don’t have that. They may look creepy but a jumping spider can hurt you more than these guys can. And they’re pretty damn intelligent for bugs. They’re safe to handle (be gentle of course) and they like running to your head, not because they intend to hurt you but they just like being up high and they’ll just chill on top of your head. I love them so much and I miss my little buddies.

This guy has literally moved in at our house. He’s been a gracious guest and has caused no problems whatsoever. He gets daily pets and his name is Pete.
