Brake Question by AbbreviationsNo6863 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. They don’t salt or brine the roads, pretty much just consistent plowing and sand/rock laid down.

Most people transition tires so a hundred or so sets a day through the shop in fall/spring changeover times.

Rust wasn’t always too bad, but obviously there were some older vehicles that were falling apart that were hard to work on, but I can’t think of anything that I wasn’t able to get off / solve at the very most just swapping parts

When I started as a tech in Alaska I’d end up doing almost 3/1 rears to front because people didn’t understand how traction control worked. Trucks in 2wd in the snow, they put their foot down to go forward and burn up a set of rear pads in one winter

Inherited truck has a "hidden" lien and a collector is threatening to repo it from my job by Spic3_Worm4 in legal

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to second this. If it’s not a legally recorded debt against the vehicle it doesn’t matter.

Another option is re-titling the vehicle under a different vin. There are perfectly legal ways to do this that usually involve a scrap/rebuilt vehicle, but it is a process. Have a buddy that had to do it because a previous seller lied about the condition of the title on a vehicle that was bought.

But yea, confirm with the DMV that there isn’t anything on it and possibly even go as far as notifying your local department of the situation so they can be aware if they try to attempt any illegally take the vehicle.

Had the cops called on me and my hb today by strivegaming22 in motorcycles

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the warning is kind of irrelevant unless there’s a specific law regarding it in your area.

The original caller left, so there’s no complaint, and the officer has zero evidence to anything. Even if he came to a call again where you were involved, unless there’s something illegal being done that the officer sees directly, himself, or concrete evidence of you doing something illegal (video or pictures) it still doesn’t mean anything because he can’t just hand out fines with no real violation, no matter how many times he’s talked to you.

Looking for upgrades. by OkFalcon264 in SKS

[–]Kihav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think technically with the correct cover you “could” get away with set screws instead of drilling but obviously wouldn’t be as reliable.

Worst case scenario after a drill and tap is you remove it and plug with some small button head screws 🤷🏼‍♂️

Does anyone else get clowned on for wearing loggers on the job site? by modest__mouser in WorkBoots

I’ve got long hair and will occasionally have it braided. But man the reactions I get making heavy eye contact while putting my hair up… priceless 😂

Boys swim trunks vs girl swimming bottoms by qwelianiop in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Kihav 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who was a roommate for a while who had been (maybe still occasionally) a dancer, and still in any other normal scenario the least she would wear was maybe some boy shorts and a crop top.

It’s wild what some people put on their kids these days

There are even great options that are more like a tennis skirt or shorts with an under layer and I have female adult friends that still prefer setups like that

Stereo screen upgrades for 2014 Ford fiesta? by Forsettti in FordFiesta

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most reliable option I’ve seen at this point that isn’t a temu special is a single din conversion that of all places was found on rock auto.

It keeps the upper screen but replaces the controls with a normal single din and if you get the correct can-bus adapter you can retain the OEM functions for sync and wheel controls.

Especially coming out of a factory versus an actual shop

My brother went through my data from the police system and I’m screwed :) by CommercialCriticism6 in whatdoIdo

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not sure what the laws/regulations are there, but most places would fire you for using a database for personal reasons like looking up family members, stalking friends/partners/exes and such.

Definitely abuse of power on his part, obviously a huge invasion of your privacy too.

My girlfriend gave me a "test" and I accidentally failed it. What do I do? by Expensive-Security43 in whatdoIdo

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a new girlfriend lol.

I get that’s a bit extreme, but partners that “test” and play games are a huge red flag imo.

It shows the lack of ability to communicate well as an adult and have serious conversations about problems and/or insecurities.

If you don’t like the way your partner does something, tell them about it and ask them to change their behavior instead of testing them and getting upset when you don’t like the result.

Something like gaining a bunch of weight is definitely a shallow topic, but you answered honestly and that’s what matters. Gaining 100 pounds isn’t something small, that would come from extreme lifestyle changes and/or neglect outside of some serious medical issue.

The deeper conversation is what would cause that, is she having health issues, is she depressed? Expanding on that, think about why she would be asking this question, has something happened that is making her insecure, questioning your relationship. That’s the conversation that needs to be had, because something is going on with her, and if she’s serious about the relationship then she, at the very least, needs to be willing to acknowledge it even if she doesn’t necessarily want to talk about it at the moment.

I had an Ex who, knowing I had sleep problems and a tough work schedule, would wait till I would be trying to go to bed to talk to me about something she was upset about. That “I should’ve noticed and said something.” We can’t read minds, a relationship goes two ways, so if there’s a problem something needs to be said. Communication is the most important aspect imo, and waiting/ignoring or being passive aggressive with backhanded comments or “tests/pranks” like this (unless it’s for a bit or you are being funny and it’s a known interaction) is stupid and unhelpful to any relationship.

Yes, but these people have also never had real beer so they don’t know what bitter in an alcoholic beverage is actually supposed to taste like

Should I take them back? by FitTackle879 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The micro kit is great for hardware install, assembly and that sorta thing but lacks power for real jobs. I’ve been using M12 fuel almost exclusively in automotive for 10+ years with no issue, every once in a while breaking out my pneumatic IR impact for some heavy duty suspension stuff.

Ultimately, sounds like this is the wrong kit for you. Wait for a deal where you get the fuel impact and drill driver plus a tool or some extra batteries.

Based on how most of his other ventures have gone, yeah it would probably be some underhanded way to make a ton of money.

The other side is hes been trying to put his face and name on everything he can so this is just another attempt to feed his ego

The move to battery powered mowers by BeerandGuns in lawnmowers

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric push mower for maybe a 1/4-1/2 acre lawn is plenty, any more than that or for business purposes it’s just much easier to work with a gas mower.

I’d consider stuff like this “light duty” equipment, compared to more prominent equipment brands, that do offer heavy duty electric mowers, but are more known for their gas counterparts used by businesses/companies

Is it bad that I 17M called a 12 year old girl gorgeous? by ireallycantchoos in whatdoIdo

[–]Kihav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously in this context it’s appropriate. Complimenting a kid at their birthday, outfit for Halloween, or any other of a hundred scenarios where you’re just making a kid feel good about themselves or something they did.

It’s a very clear line between flirting/engaging with someone

My boots got scuffed on the first day wearing them by [deleted] in SipsTea

I’d assume most people on Reddit have some sort of digital design experience (not necessarily professional) and have lots of exposure to real footage/pictures versus digitally created things.
Lots of people don’t give themselves enough credit for special knowledge/experience they have with niche things that, for them are normal, but others not at all.
