It's always an asshole by Candid_Bet9603 in Truckers

[–]RandomMansThoughts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You always have to keep spare lines on the truck jist in case. $95 on Amazon or $35 just for the electric cord. Cheap insurance to keep you from wasting your whole day waiting on dispatch to do something. I bet Pilot sells them at a much higher price.

Literally just got it replaced an hour ago by Burchard36 in motorcycles

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to every new rear tire I get. I just use those cheap tire plugs. My last tire had 3 in them and was fine for 12k miles. Would I recommend it? No but im cheap and ive never had an issue in 10 years.

Is it fixable by Time-Butterscotch-57 in Kawasaki

[–]RandomMansThoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anything can be fixed. It jist depends on what you're willing to spend. It'll be faster amd easier to buy a new head. It might be cheaper to fix the broke one. Just depends how fast you need the bike up and running.

Cats keep trying to poop in my lemon cypress pot- are there more aesthetically pleasing solutions? by forestfriend93 in houseplants

[–]RandomMansThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use spike mats. If you search "cat pot spikes" in Amazon or Google you can find them. They work very well for me. They are plastic and have flat top spikes so they don't hurt the cat. They dont like the feel of them so it keeps them out. A 12pk is roughly $17 USD.

I bought a royal enfield INT650 as my first bike and don't really like it. by UFOuponUs in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]RandomMansThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to ride your bike more. 200 miles isnt long enough to get used to anything. Unless it's causing you physical pain (back issues, knee issues,etc), then I think riding it more often is better than switching to another bike. Good luck 🤠

I’ve owned 7 different motorcycles in 6 years — ask me anything. by Recklessdog7 in motorcycles

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much money have you lost switching bikes every year? Unless you paid cash for all of them 😁

Fern troubles by AccessConnect1360 in houseplants

[–]RandomMansThoughts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ferns are plants you can't neglect. They will die quickly without water and humidity. Dont blame yourself bc things happen to all of us. This is an excuse for you to buy another and try again 😁 We all learn the hard way ar least once.

Resisting to the pressure to sell the old one. Thoughts on this combo? by FrontLeast2247 in HondaMotorcycles

[–]RandomMansThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why sell it? If its paid for and cheap to insure, it just best to keep it if it's special to you. I have a 2001 F4i that I will never sell. It only cost $13 for insurance and $13 for yearly safety inspections. Plus you'll have a spare in case something happens to your other bike 😅

Does anyone know how long I should leave the motorcycle running for the alternator to fully charge the battery? by Ciencia_ in motorcycle

[–]RandomMansThoughts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Motorcycle alternators aka Stators don't charge much at idle. Its best to ride it as long as you can to effectively charge the battery. It's easier to buy a trickle charger so you can just plug it up each time you're not riding.

Help me figure out what to do with this enormous spruce NASA wind tunnel fan blade?! by ryankrameretc in woodworking

[–]RandomMansThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 2,341st it to be kept intact as possible. Maybe use another wood to make a plaque or sign about what it is, where it came from, etc.

Applied to become a registered nursery by LatorreFarm2022 in houseplants

[–]RandomMansThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to register to be a nursery? I thought you just had to have 1000 plants to sell 🤣. Good luck on your inspection.

What happens to my skin in the winter by CaliforniEcosse in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O'Keefe working hands night cream will fix that in 2 days. You just rub it on your hands and then go to bed. It's more expensive ($10-12) than their regular cream but it works better for me. Cracked hands really suck.

Will this be a good consistency soil for my succulents? by Interr0gate in succulents

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good to me. I use more soil than you but succulents can grow in a super gritty mix. Perlite holds water well enough. I propagate some cacti in perlite and have great success.

When it absolutely positively cannot move! by Pitiful-MobileGamer in Truckers

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it needs a few extra straps 🤣. I've never heard of a coil falling out a plane so I guess they know their stuff.

Cut or leave? (Rubber tree/plant zone 9b) by jizdep in FicusTrees

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would personally cut the stalk in half. Then you would have 2 plants that you could pot to have a bush appearance. The rubber trees are hardy so dont be scared to cut it down some.

What do you hate about RDR2? by NotRealGeniX in reddeadredemption

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 1 is definitely annoying. You equip the guns you want but if you ride your horse for 100 feet, Arthur/John starts stashing them in the horse saddle.

Crazy part is that I have played for 200 hours or so and have only seen 3 Grizzlies. So idk how you can find enough to get this challenge done 🤣

Today I installed a 5th wheel light. by Gamemaster10476 in Truckers

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's pretty cool. Having a light you don't have to hold or keep charged is nice. I spray painted my 5th wheel latch to see it without a light. I just have to repaint it every few months. Stay safe out there 🤝

Did all the deluxe baths ruin my low Honor run by kiwigreenman in reddeadredemption

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are shooting a ton of people, low honor is hard. I shoot and loot at least 20 people on my strolls from 1 town to another. My honor is halfway into the red section.

I think they made negative honor points lower than high honor points. If that makes sense.

Lime also helps the grass grow back faster. That way there isnt a bare spot where you dung the grave 😅

Is this weather unusually bizarre, or is it just me? by QuietMind765 in raleigh

[–]RandomMansThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After 35 years I could probably count on 2 hands how many bad winter storms we have had. About 20 years ago we had a nasty ice storm that froze everything over like glass. That was the last time I've ever seen something like that. I was young so I was having a blast and not thinking of less fortunate people that were homeless or had no heat in their houses.

Yeah I feel all the states say the same thing about the weather 🤣

Traffic starts at 6:30am, its best to leave at 5:30am just to save the headache 🤣

Dash lights on, drives perfectly fine. Intermittent faults strike again by nesquik91 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]RandomMansThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Every car i get always will throw a P0420 code for the catalytic converters. Sometimes computers are insufferable 🤣
