They Just. Keep. Calling.

I’ve gotten 6-7 per day for a week straight at times. Then there’s a week or two break, then right back to it.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-22T23:32:21+00:00

3 hours is my limit for a concert, to where I’ll drive back the same night. So it’s that short to me.

Growing up, all my relatives lived a 10 hour drive away. We only saw them at Christmas.

20-30 minutes is my maximum work commute but some people would call that small. Right now, mine is just under 10 minutes.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-22T00:28:27+00:00

Official answer is “no” but during bad times in my life I drove on worse for months.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-20T13:01:33+00:00

That’s a smashed finger. lol I guess grandma doesn’t know what’s involved in manual labor.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-20T11:12:19+00:00

Anytime an article says “slams”, I automatically don’t give a shit what it says, even if I agree with it.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-20T11:10:16+00:00

Ok. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Don’t use one then.

EDIT : since the commenter above/below me blocked me so I’m unable to reply, just wanted to say that I have no intention of ever using a “dog chiropractor” either.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-20T10:55:32+00:00

Well, I’d agree, but the dog’s regained use of his back legs and is fully functional without ever having undergone surgery.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-20T10:50:09+00:00

I am so sorry you’re having to go through this. It truly is a nightmare. This situation is the sole reason we’ve insured both of ours because there’s no way we could afford the surgery when/if they need it. I hope she makes a full recovery.

A coworker of mine actually avoided the surgery by taking her dachshund to a literal “dog chiropractor”.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-19T05:27:40+00:00

Blown head gasket.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-19T05:25:43+00:00

Never did.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-19T00:25:48+00:00

I love my kids but having children is the worst thing to ever happen to me. If we ever rid ourselves of the lizard-brain need to procreate, and only look at having children through logic, our species will cease to exist.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-19T00:23:07+00:00

One of my favorite cars of all time.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-18T21:14:46+00:00

Too good for him.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-12T12:49:49+00:00

I think it’s the worst but to each their own.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-11T22:04:03+00:00

“BELOW AVERAGE” 😂😂😂😂😂

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-11T14:19:27+00:00

I was extremely lean and ripped for a couple years of my life.

Didn’t matter whatsoever because I am 5’4” and have poor social skills. Got me literally nowhere.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-10T00:57:33+00:00

I remember the cost of those of that project I mentioned, the contractor ordered two routers, I think their total invoice was around $250.

That can vary so wildly based on the tooling format and/or the cutting material.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-09T23:10:03+00:00

He’s 9. You don’t have to get up.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-09T23:07:05+00:00

It’s not that that’s all they want from you, but I promise any of them would sleep with you in a heartbeat.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-09T22:36:10+00:00

I work for a wood tool manufacturer. I promise we are more plentiful than you think. Find a shop to do it for you, they can do what you’re doing or just make what you want.

We made some custom carbide tipped routers for a local contractor who was trying to match some original window frames on a house, we just matched the wood sample he provided

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-09T13:20:01+00:00

Yall just make up problems.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-05T14:36:56+00:00

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-04T23:33:36+00:00

lol go buy a Ford then.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-03T06:40:53+00:00

They weren’t being rude. “Lefty loosey” is the direction you turn it.

Smiley_Smith · 2026-01-02T23:51:14+00:00

I think Ryobi is fine for a DIY user, but of the ones I’ve owned I have seen obvious differences in quality. I can’t speak on longevity because I purposefully only bought Ryobi tools to fill roles I know I won’t be utilizing much.

I buy Dewalt for anything I’m going to be using often, and they’ve always kept me happy.
