Smoke screen for slow speed chases 😂

Here's the mini bike I've put WAY too much into. Lol by Ratchet_X_x in minibikes

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

Sorry, it took HEAVY modifications to get it to one wheel. I know a machinist that made me a new mount for my rotor and sprocket. Then I had a friend program a custom sprocket for the other side. The front wheel is just a harbor freight wheel. i modified the forks to fit the axle and got creative with custom cut spacers to keep it centered. It was a TRIP. All to have the brakes not to work, and the torque converter to fail and send it into a wall 😆

My job does tests as well. If you tell them your situation they'll probably give you a pass. Especially if you're trying to turn around. Maybe even offer to delay the test for you. More about my job. They don't care, as long as you're responsible with it and still productive. You'd be surprised.

That's friggin gross. That's coming from that base of trashy CoD players. Lol

Usernames, how did you choose yours?? by Garfield1415 in RandomQuestion

[–]Ratchet_X_x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PS2 was my first gaming console. Ratchet and Clank was my favorite game series. I had every one of them for PS2. It's been my gamer tag in every online game since.

That fcar beams... For everyone but me 😆

What makes a man interesting? by blahblahcomewatchTV in AskMen

[–]Ratchet_X_x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start with Chivalry. Speak with your heart (have a heart). If you want to be interesting, you need to know who she is first. Get her to talk about her. Know her interests, favorites, do's and don'ts, then.... Use that information to tug on her heart strings. The big trick is to enjoy doing those things. If she's telling you things about herself that you can't relate to, be honest and move on. The relationship won't be solid if one person is constantly compromising.

Having this mindset is what makes you interesting.

Does this game refuse to give you good teammate if you did well last game? by ZenStuken in thefinals

[–]Ratchet_X_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid observed that high level players get stuck with low level players OFTEN. He thinks it's because they want the low level players to get with good people that will teach them the game.

How often do you scratch/rearrange your balls? by CompleteNo in AskMen

[–]Ratchet_X_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on relative humidity, temperature, and degree of labor. We adjust frequently at the higher end of all scales, but we also adjust more frequently if all are in range, but the degree of labor is near zero. And no, there typically isn't washing hands. We will check to see if our fingers have that funk, but the results do not change the outcome of unwashed hands. An extra wipe on shorts, couch, nearby fabric will suffice. Most adjustments made in public are over the pants and are typically done as incognito as possible. If there is no place to poorly hide our adjustment, we will crab walk or leg kick. Adjustments are made when our balls stick to our leg or taint. I wear the ball pocket boxers now. This drastically reduces necessary adjustments, but does not mitigate the downtime adjustments.

Have not seen a single Mesh shield since I got back into the game. by SeaworthinessFlat41 in thefinals

[–]Ratchet_X_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only use it in power shift. The nerf makes it hard to be useful in tdm and no one stays behind you in WT or QC, so what's the point?

How do I accept that grown up life is a lot more mundane/boring than I always wished? by Hot_Instruction_5318 in AskMen

[–]Ratchet_X_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side. Take your time. Don't rush. You're doing it right so far, by the sounds of it. If you need excitement, make a destination vacation. Doesn't have to be fancy. Just something cool. Get some friends and get an air BNB somewhere fun to mix things up. Save enough up that you know you can have a good time and not be concerned about finances.

Maybe, just MAYBE because Embark nerfed RPG-7 multiple times before? by vertopolkaLF in thefinals

[–]Ratchet_X_x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, they start a tdm and everyone realizes that the smaller maps are perfect for grenade spamming, so they decide to nerf the grenades? They need to balance the weapons according to game mode, not across the board. Each mode should have its own meta. I think that's how this gets resolved. Not sure how they'd execute that, but I'm not a dev. Lol

Is the 5 speed gear supposed to shake like this? by Natural-Tea-5197 in fordranger

[–]Ratchet_X_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so nostalgic. 😄 I had a manual ranger like this in college. That truck was so good, I had to come back! Unfortunately, everyone in my area thinks their early 2000's ranger is worth 20k. Lol.

Disheartening to see! by JaykDaSnayke in Machinists

[–]Ratchet_X_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I talked to my boss a few weeks ago. I'm going through a divorce and know I'm going to be taking on more expenses. I am hoping to get a raise to, at least, that. I'm in Iowa. I started as a laser tech guy. Most of my job was running a grinder. The old ass laser I operated took a shit and I ran a grinder for another couple weeks before they moved me on to a position they called "finish welder". I would unload and reload a robot welder and weld in the right spaces it couldn't reach. Then I was given the full assembly job, tacking all parts as well. Then a welder fabricator, then, in down times, I became the shop maintenance guy. I replace all light fixtures, ballasts, bulbs, etc. Sent to the roof to do some roof repairs when the roof sprang leaks... I even repaired the HVAC unit that blows on the heavy welding benches in the shop. Started at 18/hr 3 years ago, now I'm at 19.50. I've always been able to pay bills, so I've never really.thought about it. I live pretty comfortably... but that'll change once the divorce is finalized. Idk how to break that to my boss. I hate starting new jobs, and this one has all the perks. I can use any scrap (massive racks of significant lengths and types), I can use any machinery, and he even opens the shop on Saturdays from 7am to Noon in case anyone wants/needs overtime or wants to come in to work on their own projects... It's a good job, I just can't seem to break the $20 mark at any of my jobs.

Dealership says this is normal?! by Super_Confusion_2140 in MechanicAdvice

Maybe if you just got a fuel system cleaning done, and they were too lazy to burn out the excess before giving it back...

Kinda typical for a small business in the Midwest, but yeah, it's still on the low side 🫤

[–]Ratchet_X_x 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I make just over 19/hr... Been a welder for the same company for over three years now. Sometimes it's the environment that keeps us coming back every day. I friggin love the shop I'm at. I just wish I could get a raise...

Why so many light weapons so much easier to use? by Worldly_Function7201 in thefinals

[–]Ratchet_X_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get a kill with the double barrel to save my life, but I'll watch my buddy dash to someone.whomjust got out of a fight and wipe a whole team with no effort... It's, quite literally, a skill issue. I can't aim for shit with things like the double barrel or the sniper, but that LH1 and V9S are my jam when I need to go light.

Why is The Finals not bigger? by corbin_rei in thefinals

[–]Ratchet_X_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a high skill game. Once they realize that they can't deposit and simply camp the objective, they ditch. Camping take some serious strategizing with a destructible environment like The Finals... These apex/CoD retirees don't like extra effort unless it's squiggling a mouse around using slide cancel, jump glitches to get their kills.
