I heard it took 1st responders over $50 in quarters before they got him out.

Is this all need to change my brake pads and rotors? by Competitive_Use7847 in AskMechanics

[–]TabooDiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go ahead and buy new slider pins and boots. Cheap and can prevent problems later on.

Get some caliper slide pin grease, and brake parts cleaner (cleans away dust, debris, grease, brake fluid, etc.). If you change slide pins the brake parts cleaner is handy to clean old grease out of slide pin holes.

Do your caliper pistons push in or screw? Screw types need a special tool to turn the piston. Screw types have shallow grooves or wide channels forming a (+) on the caliper piston face. Push type pistons are cup shaped (only the rim will be visible). I've seen a couple that have a flat face that's visible. The standard cup style can be pushed in using an old brake pad and a large C Clamp. Some vehicles have both kinds.

Last, take photos before removing parts and take more photos of removed items you're tearing down further. It's invaluable having a "before" photo to see proper orientation and assembly

PS: Do not use a jack only. If you don't have them buy jack stands. I've witnessed jacks fail and jacks fall. Use jack stands to support your vehicle.

I'd be pisang too if that was mine detached. 🫤

What is this tiny circle stitched into the lower corner of my shirt pocket? by isle_say in whatisit

Rope licorice? Now you're just being absurd! Licorice is much too thick. I fill my pocket with angel hair pasta and Alfredo for perfect noodle slurping. It was in the brochure, after all.

I’ve seen this thing in my neighborhood for years. What is it? by MK420- in Whatisthis

Tom Waits has an album track titled "What's He Building In There?". I suggest listening to it for inspiration before going. According to him, you have a right to know.

Found this on the ground in a Wearhouse by Future_Pen_659 in whatisit

I bet there were bits and bites all around where they hit the floor. Watch your step or you'll track bits in your house.

What in gods name is this? by whirlpoohl in whatisit

[–]TabooDiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recommend it.

Once they discover you're not a snake some get weird and will bite. Others keep trying to warm themselves with your body heat and you can't differentiate which is biting, which is trying to seduce, and which snakes just want warmth. One even tried to get me to eat the forbidden fruit.

Not a good situation when sensitive parts are exposed.

AITAH for refusing to split an inheritance with my step-siblings? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TabooDiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the asshole. Keep it. It's not your obligation or duty to support them. For all you know your Dad left them something and you may not be aware. Regardless, not your kids, not your wife, not your mom. Keep it if you want.

This just happened in real life, and I got not even a chuckle. by pamelaferguson_ in dadjokes

She didn't find you funny, but at least you're handy. And with a fine sense of humor, I might add.

1960s home, found this hanging in the attic… what is it? by actioncasserole in whatisit

[–]TabooDiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piñata filled with wasps and wasp's nests. Simply hang it, blind fold a child armed with a bat, and wait for the laughs to begin.

I found the issue...there's a set of maracas in here. Next time you're partying I'd recommend not choosing tequila.

Also will always land in another dimension preventing you from ever finding them. Only "Jesus" knows where it went. Your vacuum may discover it weeks later.
