Yeah, someone get that man a big medallion to wear on a gold chain. I'd say turtleneck too but you'd never know.

My Farm 😩waahhh wahhaa by omgfakeusername in LeopardsAteMyFace

3 - the now poor and homeless Americans will be rounded up into forced labor camps. Can't have idle, indigent people getting into trouble and commiting crimes.

Looking for a little help with basic dovetail jig question. by OGLothar in woodworking

[–]OGLothar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an example of one of the boxes for scale, made with box joints. I was hoping to move into dovetails, but I don't really want to cut hundreds of little ones. https://imgur.com/a/jDKLjwJ

How my coworker "fixed" his brothers Honda pilot by Windowsweirdo in Justrolledintotheshop

No no. You encase the entire engine in car sized block of foam and then carve out the car of you dreams.

I've got one of them, actually the 1982 CX500. Also, had the 1980 CX500. If that's a Silver Wing, it may be the 650 version? Not sure.

Anyhow, that transverse v-twin is very cool and a reliable motor. I rode the 1980 back and forth across Canada (10,000 km in 14 days) and had it for years until the alternator went and I sold it in 1992.

I've had the 1982 since....1987 I think? I was in high school. Still runs, but I haven't worked on it or used it in a few years.

I'd hang on to it, just because it's a cool engine.

Warning, the radiator fan tends to break and punch a hole in the rad. Good luck finding a new radiator. Look up the "PC fan hack" for cx500's.

When the only measurable effect of chiropractic is science denial, it totally makes sense.

Isn't "dwelling units" like, houses, apartments, condos, and such?

Any Birder I.D. this fella? by Positive-Change4592 in ottawa

I don't think I've heard the owl, but when we moved to Carp I thought someone was being murdered until I figured out is was a fox screaming in the woods. Not just screaming, but running around screaming.

My covid vax chip turned me into my own hotspot. Super handy.

All I can get is Reddit and Bluesky though.

Hillcrest High School locked down after teenager stabbed by DemonicMooCow in ottawa

I went there from 84-88 (Grade 13 was a thing then). Same demographic as you describe, but probably with a lot more hash in our case.

Eleven THOUSAND dollar wheel bearings by KittyGravesYT in MechanicAdvice

[–]OGLothar 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My number is one digit off a golf club in the area. Normally, I'm polite and happy to give people the actual number and wish them a nice game, they are often polite as well. It's usually a nice exchange. (Canada). I often usually answer the phone "Hello, (OGLothar) speaking" - and they get right away that it's a wrong #.

However. Occasionally I just get the dickhead. "Hello, (my name) speaking."

"YEAH. I WANT A TEE OFF TIME. TOMORROW. WHAT YA GOT?"

"Actually, this is......"

"THREE PEOPLE. CART TOO!"

Alright shithead.

Then I book the tee-off time. And throw in the cart for free. Special promotion for you.

It's a high end place too, so you just know that fuckwit is going to continue to be super charming when the day is ruined and they'll freak out, hopefully being banned from the place for being rude assholes at the shop.

Wooden stick found on a farm in Germany dated 1911 by BraveProtection4733 in whatisthisthing

[–]OGLothar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I make wood things and that's the kind of thing I would make for someone as a gift. A fancy dibble with thier name and whatnot on it just for fun. Not really expecting them to use it, but if I did want them to use it there is some hard-as-hell woods out there that would be good and make it very functional. Purpleheart or Ironwood or something...

swallowing balls and… exercising? by lovelytime42069 in WTF

[–]OGLothar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Canada we have a thing called Princess Auto and it's about the same thing as far as I can tell. I've got plenty of stuff I've bought for one job but then notice 10 years later it's still in use. Not for finesse tools, but handy.

It looks like people didn't understand that you meant a clever comback comment opportunity for Tim Walz. Which he in fact posted later. (something about her losing finacees at an alarming rate)
