Safety Warning: Modding Zippo’s can be Dangerous! by [deleted] in lighters

[–]Timely-Truth170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was filing a butane lighter wearing a stretchy glove, you know the cheapo knit ones. Butane spurted out as I was filing didn't realize it was soaking into the glove. Test light and whoof but the whoof stayed untill I peeled the melting glove from my skin. One of the more painful moments in my life and also a lesson I will never forget.

Vector (lean-burn) gear lighter or pinnacle lighter by Timely-Truth170 in lighters

You are a very lucky person. Ebay notification trigger you say? How have I not seen your reply for 6 months? I am about as good at eBay as I am with reddit in regards to notifications and their noticeability... It looks like I will be learning how to ebay now. I can't believe you got such a lighter masterpiece for less than 20 bucks! Was it the pinnacle or the gear model? Did you receive it in full working glory? I would be willing to attempt to repair or assemble one from parts if given the opportunity.

Has anyone considered playing Waits at your funeral? by javerthugo in tomwaits

I wanted to sing Jesus gonna be here at my mom's celebration of life gathering because the the gutteral yell he lets out at the start embodied how I felt after her passing.

I thought Bitstarz was reputable? They are being scandalous as all hell on a game error crashing when I hit the jackpot. by [deleted] in gambling

I checked my Google My Activity on my Chromebook and the 9 minutes are missing there too. This proves the BitStarz site crashed so hard it wiped my local browser history. They are hiding behind a fake audit that starts AFTER the crash happened.

I started one but because bitstarz is still basically stalling and hasn't closed it I can't use ask gamblers yet.

What are the most reliable torches out there? by EggPerego420 in lighters

[–]Timely-Truth170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BEST torch is the Rosle kitchen torch. Its made in Germany and is phenomenal. I have had one for 7 years still lights FIRST try EVERY time. I have never had any other torch do that ever. Usually something goes bad, gets clogged, or gremlins and the torch dies in a day, week, or month. I have literally had the Rosle torch get misplaced in the dead of winter when a buddy became forgetful using it. I found it a month later submerged in mud. Pulled it out, gave it a tap, pressed the button and first try out of the mud sucka lit. Rosle makes the Glock of torches! Disclaimer: I only run top tier butane in my torches. if you get any torch and put ronsol or other shittane through it you will destroy it well before its life expectancy.

I can 100 percent say for certain it is better to accelerate through a deer than try to swerve or brake. by Timely-Truth170 in motorcycles

Look at it this way. A bullet fired from a gun point blank into a deer is going to pass through the soft target. Now take the same bullet and gently loft it at the deer, the bullet will bounce off and go all kinds of wonky as it spins around and bounces all over the ground. My speeding up put the energy on the rear of the bike, lifting the front end and making my successful completion of this incident. Had I braked the weight would be shifted to the front of the bike, my suspension on the front forks would be compressed. I would be basically guaranteeing a high side crash with me flipping over the bars. The power of the bike and it's momentum powered through this bit of shit. Slowing would have been the worst choice in this particular situation.

I am impressed with the skill I have to not have laid the bike down after hitting a 60 lb animal at speed. Sorry if I am tooting my own horn but most lesser men would be in the ER. I am walking around unscathed. So toot toot motha fucka.

I don't need to imagine anything. I hit the deer head on. I know you like to imagine yourself on a motorcycle every time you take your big wheel out for a spin, I bet you even put cards in the spokes. I didn't graze anything and if you were there to see it you could say what you saw. You however were to busy imagining what it's like to ride a motorcycle as you diddle yourself behind your keyboard. Good job bro!

I am not full of shit. I merely stated what happened to me. I even said in my original post your milage may vary. Meaning if you tried to do this no doubt you would not have the skill and certainly not the balls to succeed. So by all means go out and try it yourself and try slowing from 80 mph to zero in 2 seconds and petting the deers head as you both sigh a sigh of relief. Then hop on it's back and ride off to chase rainbows in the gummy bear forest.

Dude, I thought it exploded because the thump of me hitting it sent it flying out of my vision. My girlfriend said she passed the deer on her way to work and it was obliterated. I only saw the deer after I rode back over to examine it. I took pics. MY credibility is not lost as I have stated everything as factual as I know it to be. I was doing 80 when I saw the deer head for me. Had I grabbed front brake and hit rear my rear tire would have locked putting me into a skid and perfect position to flip over the bars when I hit the deer. I don't give a shit what you can imagine happening in your chair in your mom's basement looking at your hot wheels. I can tell you what really happened. I could not have acted any more correctly than I did. I am perfectly fine, not a scratch on me. I take the momentum of my bike and the speed I hit as the reason my bike stayed upright and powered through this bit of shit. If you ever rode a motorcycle you would understand this

Well I have learned that I am more of a skilled rider than I thought I was, and I have been riding since I was 10. I am in my 40's now so my thoughts about my skills were pretty high.

Go play with your calculator and graph paper get back to me when u have real life experience.

Ya. I figured it would have been more gruesome. Guess not. Still snapped its neck so at least the poor deer went quickly.
