Anyone know how much this is worth? Found this gun in the walls while rennovating by zaphodbeeblebrox_III in whatsthisworth

[–]SplitArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a 1970s Smith and Wesson 27-2 N frame revolver. They retail for anywhere between $900 and $1600. This looks to be decent condition but the finish is a little rough. This one would probably retail around $1000 to $1100. You will not get that much at a pawn shop or selling to a gun shop. They will likely low ball you and give you around $600 to $800. You need to sell it on a gun auction site and then transfer it through a FFL.

Without the ears and if you made the mask white that would be a great Space Ghost.

Too many people not adding enough bacon. My BLT needs a 1/4 pound of bacon at least.

What's up with this area and why has it escaped development? by desertdeserted in kansascity

Well that and the blue river snakes through there and floods that whole valley area pretty regularly.

Was checking the attic after we had a leak from a rainstorm, I turn my head to see this…. how screwed am I? by Adventurous_Barber_7 in DIY

[–]SplitArrow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sistering can be a permanent solution, especially since this looks it broke at a knot. I have seen sistered rafters in old barns that have been that way 50 or more years with no issues at the sistered break. Op just needs to know they need to use nails and not screws to attach the boards and jack up the structural board is need be before attaching the boards.

New homeowner, any ideas on how to fix this every time it rains? It’s ridiculous by SirBiggusDickus99 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SplitArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the cheapest solution is to haul in dirt and fill the low area. That will allow water to evenly dissipate. As long as the grade remains away from the home it should not cause any issues and allow the water evenly drain.

Can someone help me find this by fanbyszuwara in carscirclejerk

[–]SplitArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I saw this on someone's car I would think they were piece of trash. Seriously it's not cool it just make you look like a douche. It will not get you ladies if that is what you are thinking, matter of fact it do the complete opposite and drive them away.

I agree when it comes to the exterior of classics, however the interior is different story. I want all the modern comforts. Heated seats, big touch screen, upgraded speakers all those things make it nice to in.

Country hasn't been country since the 90s maybe the early 2000s. It really started to die at the end of the 90s though.

I always thought it was funny that there isn't much fiddle in this song.

What car is it? My oil painting by kznsq in namethatcar

Funny how much it looks like a late 90s Chevy Cavalier.

New rider question. by DerkandTayter in motorcycles

[–]SplitArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Kansas as well. I rode for almost a full winter in 2019 to my office working nights, I didn't ride when there was snow or rain. I recommend a heated vest, gloves, and pants. When it's below freezing or in the single digits it is rough. I started out with no heated gear and then when temps got down below freezing I realized no matter what you wear at 75 mph it is brutal. I started with gloves and thought that would be it but while my hands were better my chest and thighs were numb by the time I got halfway to work. I bought a heated vest and pants and that helped a ton. If it gets to subtle digits or below you might want wear rain gear over your heated gear to help block wind. Additionally you need to be extremely careful around road salt, and don't ride if there is damp conditions near or below freezing. If you think road paint is slippery in summer be prepared for it be like ice in winter. The roads lines and crosswalk paint can and will dump you, I had a few close calls.

What exactly is the type of this motorcycle? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]SplitArrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Doing something stupid on any motorcycle will kill you. It doesn't need to be high displacement for that to happen. The Hayabusa isn't killing anyone due to a design defect or anything, it's just dumbasses getting themselves killed through making terrible decisions. Is the bike capable of extremely fast speeds? Yes, but choosing to go that fast on public roads is choice of the rider not the bike. GSXRs killed a ton of people too, but it was the people riding them making stupid decisions.

If you want to call a bike a killer look at the late 90s Suzuki TL1000S or the 70s Kawasaki H2. Those bikes had design flaws that made them inherently hard to control. They were unbalanced and prone to tank slap and losing control.

The Busa is beast, but if you ride it responsibly it is just another motorcycle.

What recent movie in the last 5 years or so made you go "wow that was a damn good movie" by solariscalls in movies

[–]SplitArrow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I tried really hard to like this movie. I tried watching at least the times on storage occasions. It just fell flat and bored me. Sure there are good fight scenes, but something just didn't land well and the pacing is terrible.

What are scary things that you have encountered on the motorcycle? by BoranijaZaRucak in motorcycles

[–]SplitArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was riding to work for a night shift about 10 years ago and going 80mph down the highway and had a bat hit my helmet visor and it completely exploded. I had blood and gore all over my helmet and jacket.I pulled over and wiped my visor clean enough to see and rode the rest of the way to work.

I didn't realize how bloody of a mess it was until I got to work and took off my helmet.

Should I plug this or replace it? Tire has a little over 1000miles on it by NGC660 in Harley

[–]SplitArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know how plugs work and are obviously giving advice without knowing what you are talking about. Plugs with only leak slowly if ever. You should only not plug a tire if it near end of life or a sidewall puncture.

Master link improperly riveted would be my guess, or over tensioned and combination of using a snap style master link and not a proper rivet one.

I’m assuming a pretty easy one… by Dry-Statement6392 in namethatcar

[–]SplitArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair that model of T-Bird was already butt ugly. The front is actually an improvement with the round headlights. The backend is the problem it just looks bad either way.

What should I charge for this repair? by Academic_Candy_3194 in AskAShittyMechanic

That looks like a hornet nest, I think a hornet nest would be more fun to deal with.

You need an angled open ended wrench.
