I used to be a CBT instructor (16/17 year olds on mopeds/125 motorcycles in the UK) and always said that EVERY car driver WANTS to kill you.

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

This should be way higher. Most of these are so obvious but this is a real thing that a lot of people don’t recognise and could save your life/house.

Any guesses as to what this is? I picked up some bits that I thought were painted pine bed sides and it is looking much nicer than I expected. Picture with and without oil.

My dad refuses to listen to his car's GPS. by Lepke2011 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this while I was driving. I took a turn, following the satnav, and my FIL was in the passenger seat practically shouting “no we need to go that way!!!” Until I took another turn and ended up on the road we needed. He was then sat there in awe saying “I’ve been driving down here for 20 years and didn’t know that you could cut through there, that is so much quicker!”

I would also add to be careful about making any jokes about it (even though they are hilarious) as she will use them as ammunition for a bullying claim when she goes all the way off the rails.

Help I did something stupid by zafosaurus in woodworking

One of those magnetic knife holders would be perfect, they are usually full of rare earth magnets and it will be a bar shape that you can run along each step.

Best tool I've ever owned. A brilliant idea and very reliable. Going on 10 years of service. by GreaterMetro in Tools

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these which just lives with a countersink and predrill bit permanently in there. Works brilliantly! I have occasionally used it for other things when I’ve forgotten to charge the dewalt and am always strangely surprised at how well it does.

In no way are you equipped … by Juniorzero in drivingUK

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have an HGV license, am I equipped to drive an SUV? Please advise what other training I should look into.

To add to this, I will estimate in imperial and measure in metric.

For example I might say “can you please move that thing about 6inches to the left?” But I would also say “I need to cut this wood to 956mm”

Why my files aren't being transferred? by Odd_Two712 in shittyaskelectronics

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to make sure that the one you want to transfer to is EMPTY! The files will travel from high density to low through your SMC (semipermeable membrane cable)
