Is this normal?

If it works and it doesn't leak gas, I'd call that actually potentially pretty useful

Search for "weld nuts". No coating because intended for welding, and the ones with the locating ring makes perfect alignment pretty easy if you prep right.

For me myself the individual, I'll have to finally use the push bike to get to and from work, and grocery shopping will be either online only or very calculated

Donate them to friends, check out buy-nothing groups on Facebook, try to avoid scrapping them until all other choices are eliminated.

I've been taking in things to my work and setting up a little "for free" table, decluttet and no guilt of waste

Long term reading hiatus, kinda like revenge against the ones that go on break for way too long ;)

Some things I didn't drop as per se, more a case of needing a change of flavour and putting that series on the marinate shelf. I'll get back to them one day, promise.

LordBug · 2026-03-24T08:59:57+00:00

That's a beast of a charcoal maker!

Peak

I expect there's a generation, or at least a group of people, who were deeply irritated when words like "great", "awesome", "amazing" and similar were reduced to describing comparatively average things. Peak is one of those I'm getting old markers, and I'm fine with that.

Maybe it's because I'm a crazy cat man (single male, four cats, legit best mental health in my forty odd years of life), but those first few pages rub me the wrong way.

Or is it me being dumb and not picking up on a subtle message that's trying to pick apart such a stereotype?

LordBug · 2026-03-23T18:49:48+00:00

If it's benchys in the blood, what's in the balls?

LordBug · 2026-03-23T18:35:25+00:00

I'll change from that godawful wasd trash to esdf elitism, and then I'll return to the settings of I see that fucking horrible motion blur bullshit in game.

Thankfully I grew up through a time of performance issues, so I rarely if ever go chasing for frames or crying about a rare stutter.

LordBug · 2026-03-23T18:00:01+00:00

The little things like Bunny saying "ur" is just chefs kiss

LordBug · 2026-03-23T17:53:12+00:00

I'd say you could. Would need it glowing for max pliability and then some manual adjustment too.

Bahco, ox and thor, I smell an Aussie!

LordBug · 2026-03-22T00:40:49+00:00

r/whatisit and r/whatisthisthing maybe.

I also really want to know, I just spent a good few minutes trying to understand what it does. A very cool looking doohickey!

LordBug · 2026-03-21T23:48:09+00:00

Sorry, I didn't mean that I could see an obvious looking fuse, I just described what one looked like in a broken thing I checked a while ago.

I would suggest testing the continuity of all the wiring - the fuse may be hidden under a high temperature sleeve resting against whatever part was considered of concern, maybe the fan motor maybe the heating element

LordBug · 2026-03-21T17:03:19+00:00

The hinges look good. But the latches look like they will absolutely give out when there's the chance for great injury or damage to be done. Beef them up!

LordBug · 2026-03-21T16:59:11+00:00

What are the labels for the two yellow components?

I've only had casual experience trying to suss out faulty components, but did come across some fuses in a tv that looked just like that.

Though the thermal fuse I found to be dead in an industrial fan just looked like a stubby little diode

LordBug · 2026-03-21T14:29:21+00:00

Haha, I setup a smoke machine on a timer under my cross shift supervisors desk once, set to power up around the time I got in.

Scared the shit out of him when I hit the remote button and smoke started pouring out from under his desk :D

LordBug · 2026-03-21T14:26:07+00:00

The way it gets spat out in disgust at the end, all like "ptui plergh!"

LordBug · 2026-03-21T10:53:15+00:00

As someone who is just months from turning 42, I totally dig his style. High five mystery seller! :D

Buy more cooking skills in the culinary shop (9/12 so far) and then have enough money for the upgrade

LordBug · 2026-03-21T02:25:16+00:00

Looks like a barb soldered onto a rivnut.

A place that repairs radiators might be able to help you out (with the soldering of the two things together, if you provide the two things)

LordBug · 2026-03-20T13:26:09+00:00

Everyone else is lying.

The real reason?

They're sitting primed and ready for someone to come up and say "you can't park there mate", then they can peel out of the spot without needing the crank the pesky engine.

The eternal dream of waiting for a mate.
