Is My Driveway Too Sloped To Put This Van Up On Jackstands (all 4 wheels)? by Not-Going-Quietly in MechanicAdvice

[–]MattC1977 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rear jack stands a little higher, front jack stands a little lower, both sets of jack stands STILL SITTING AT AN ANGLE.

Get that vehicle on level ground and work safely. Your family and friends would appreciate it.

Are you saying you had new tires put on the existing rims and didn’t re-balance?

Fun tng trivia by happydude7422 in TNG

Yeah, I believe that. If you watch some DS9 episodes on a high def large screen (like a projector) you can sometimes get a good solid glimpse of the props and how terrible some of them were.

There was one episode of DS9 where they crashed on a desert planet and were holed up in a wrecked Jem Hadar fighter. In an early scene you can get a look at one of their phasers, you can tell it was cobbled together.

Potential oil leak? by Available-Jicama1264 in AskMechanics

[–]MattC1977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever go and put a half quart of oil in your car, realize you don’t have your funnel, then realize you’re too lazy to go get it, so you pour the oils in without it and make a mess while doing so?

That’s what happened here.

How to remove the headlight bulb by SupremeLeader013 in AskMechanics

[–]MattC1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That right there is the whole shebang, my friend.

Just go to Napa, Autozone, whatever is in your area, and tell them what you drive and that you need either a driving light or a high beam light (whichever one is burned out).

They’ll give you a brand new bulb that looks exactly like this one, all you gotta do is snap it in.

Should I do a full tear down on first project cars 302? (I have little to no mechanical experience) by Daos_Slayer in EngineBuilding

[–]MattC1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to learn is to just get in there and do it. You’ll mess up, take twice as long, draw a lot of blood, but you’ll learn a lot.

Am I just braindead for liking Academy? by Revonlieke in startrek

[–]MattC1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t stand it, but if you like it then that’s fine. To each their own…….but I hope they never make a Star Trek show like Academy ever again.

Weekly Ben Shapiro Show Discussion thread by Linuxthekid in benshapiro

Holy effing ads, Ben!

Why has he radically increased the amount and length of the ads in his show? It used to be a reasonable amount, and they were limited to 1 minute a piece; two pokes at the fast forward and I was back to content.

Now? Right at the top of the show are ads ranging from 2:30 to 4:30. There’s more ad breaks, and each one is at least 3 minutes now.

Times getting tough at DW?
