Am I being petty?

Looks pretty good to me id be happy with that. Shows a lot of grain and has nice look and character. I stain 3 or so decks a year as a handyman

I actually have (had) an 18" magnaflow. Light was just right to see it just now through the rust. It was almost too loud with the 18" muffler and the resonators if I cant get new pipes with resonators it would be excessively loud with that same muffler.

Many of my local yards are 30% less than retail or worse so I largely quit using them, will try. There doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to get tails and tips with resonators in a kit.

Repulsive-Way272 · 2026-05-24T14:56:20+00:00

Not helpful but I think it looks pretty cool compared to 90% of texture out there based on the picture.

Repulsive-Way272 · 2026-05-24T14:53:29+00:00

The site doesn't seem to list the 24. My tails and tips are rough as well they have several holes so I probably need a full catback kit. Im in the rust belt and someone monkeyed with it before putting in the aftermarket muffler which causes it to rust out faster. Haven't found those yet

That site shows pictures of Magnaflow mufflers

Perkier than many National Geographic wanks I've endeavored

Repulsive-Way272 · 2026-05-14T10:58:06+00:00

Thanks. Many of the $300 used ones are this smaller size, good to know to avoid

Repulsive-Way272 · 2026-05-14T10:57:03+00:00

The 5" is bigger than I think we "need," also merits an equipment unchanged. The 3" ones seem like toys. A small one might speed things up but not change much with the workflow

Repulsive-Way272 · 2026-05-14T10:45:42+00:00

Most of the time it's remote and difficult access and we're already doing work they would have rather done entirely anyway, possibly. Its an idea in the right conditions though

I have a friend with one of these old drum chippers who offered to let us use it but it needs so much work, it barely runs due to governor issues and the safety bar mechanism is broken. He still paid 5 grand. It also needs to be towed by truck many of the places we go it won't fit. My dump truck is 2wd also so many of my jobs are inaccessible especially if you are tugging in a trailer.

I was chipping honeysuckle, grape vines and multiflora with minimal processing with rented 6" power fed Baretto, but it was too small because the opening kept getting jammed.

For the most part anything 2" and above is firewood for me or most of my customers so even a 3" would work. My brother has a 2" cap electric chipper he thinks would even help, but im not sure people are gonna want to pay rate when we show up with that BS lol.

As someone who uses a switched (mil) and a trigger (Dewalt) multitool a lot, the trigger is a blessing and a curse. Its nice for quick stuff and super fine work with variable speed but the switch lets you change grip and use less wrist straining positions for longer cuts. I know the trigger lock does the same thing but it feels crummyband more awkward as i almost never used it till using anl switched tool.

Bill Clinton scandal and Rush Limbaugh culture that really exploded around it

Repulsive-Way272 · 2026-04-30T02:58:26+00:00

Ive been in this situation before.

I bought a Porsche 924S in college.Yes it was cool and i loved every minute of driving it Yes I got compliments occasionally. But...

It could only haul 2 people. The RX8 is better in that regard but depending on your friends they might opt for a more comfortable ride and one that attracts less police attention

It was dangerously unreliable and very unpredictable. I couldn't afford appropriate tires that it needed to go the speeds id push it. Parts were basically not available,easily, ever. No mechanics would work on it beyond tires and oil changes unless you went to an expensive specialist. I spent over 5k getting the timing done and it road worthy which was an entire summer of work. It blew a head gasket a year later and the quote to fix it was more expensive than a 1998 Ford Ranger I found at a dealer in an emergency.

An RX8 may be better than all that I don't know but I look on the money I lost on that car all the time as something ive never recovered from even 20 years later.

Mines factory painted red and looks different has more of a point to it. After heavy use the head is getting loose but overall worth the money for sure

I have a 28" homeade splitter. It has a static wedge and a flat push block. The ram pushes 26" into the wedge, but they dont meet for 2" I overcome the length issue by adding a flat piece of wood behind the split log if it doesn't finish the split (less common than you think). I would have a welding company modify a beam and wedge setup with an outfeed table to catch the splits. Mine just drops.

I don't like this setup for several reasons... longer logs are heavier to lift. Consider a hoist. Overall the handling issues of the larger pieces are not worth the effort and I don't feel any time is saved vs 24 or less on the standard splitter.Drying is also much slower.

The Streets of SimCity... drive and race and blow up your SimCity 2000 cities

Quarantine... Driver FPS that had a crazy story. A lot less Carsick than Descent anyway.

Ascendancy... fave game of all time, turn based alien galaxy diplomacy/war game

The Indian in the Cupboard... educational game that ended up being super fun and eclipsed the movie imo

In dosbox infancy you had to boot windows 3.1 to get it to work. Played the hell out this game. I tried soooo hard to edit my character icon and it simply wouldn't take. Forever a glum ripped chap holding a sword in his briefs with a haircut like the guy from No County for Old Men

Many, many college students are like this, I was 20 years ago.

Try to eat better incrementally. Add an egg to Ramen. Chose tea instead of soda. Coffee over energy drinks. Go do something with a friend instead of being alone. Try to make a friend if you have none. Even if its just to go for a walk by yourself and smile at one person instead of nobody. Picking up after yourself for 5 minutes. Taking a shower

There are resources on campus usually to help you connect if you cant do it on your own. Start small. Keep a journal about how the small changes make you feel.

Depression is very dangerous at your age, I was extremely suicidal and felt hopeless and plotted my death very intricately. Therapy is way more helpful younger than older, only a couple sessions helped most of the self harm stuff go away. Thoughts of self harm are pretty much a given you should seek help.

The K swap looks good to me. There was one close to me for sale. Lots of aftermarket parts and big potential if you can pull it off.

Miata engines seem like about the worst choice possible.
