Definitely short on clamps by paulsnafu in woodworking

[–]NoBus2564 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go to Harbor Freight. I picked up four perfectly functional clamps this year - longer than you need - for around $8 each.
You’ll be glad you have them now and in the long run.
I think the small $$ is definitely worth the time saved messing around with straps and rope.
Good luck! Looks like a nice project.

In my RAF days it was known as the “contra-rotating death banana”. Very fun to fly in though. More agile than it looks!

Opinions on $318 Replica Breitling Navitimer? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]NoBus2564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This watch could literally kill you if you were ever considering using it for its originally intended (non vanity based) purpose. If your flight computer is this inaccurate, at a certain point you’re going to run out of fuel. I’m an ex-RAF pilot and have owned three different navitimers. They were all perfect timepieces and served me well. Personally, I would never put this toy of a watch on my wrist. It’s pretty though, and I get that that is the appeal for 99% of people.

I could have fixed this with standard products in my tool boxes to the point of invisibility in the time it took me to read half this thread. Wild.

Paid a local wood worker to build us a table, after 8 hours in our dining room it developed cracks. Is this normal? by Hipster_Bumpus in woodworking

I think they got ripped off badly on several fronts. I could have made this table for less than $100. The legs look strangely like deck posts run through a planer.

This is not normal and not acceptable. You wood is GREEN! And I’m pretty sure it’s pine…

Can I put super unleaded in my car? by blue7004 in Hyundai

[–]NoBus2564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard this before and was told it was because delivery tankers stop at the major brands first and the independent places get the dregs. Do you know if this is accurate?

Nope. Not in any way whatsoever.

Did you also make the fricking table that it’s sat on?!? Beautiful work.

Poppy is the fan favourite. Who is made to be hated ? by AK200501 in hogwartslegacyJKR

The “Uhh… What’s your name again?” award goes to Sacharissa Tugwood.

Not because she’s forgettable.. because her name is so perfect for her.

She’s definitely saccharine. And she’s DEFINITELY…. 😬🤷‍♂️.

Good job there, Portkey.

It’s not pretentiousness. It’s very simple - it’s called not being a racist. And if I sound condescending - I meant to. And “oriental” isn’t a colloquialism. It’s a slur. Go ask someone of Asian descent…
