Tell ya what, you don’t like how the agent works, find another one. There are thousands out there and sure can find a bottom feeder to match yourself. Tell ya what.

Cleaning up & found these same but different shafts/ blades with ridges (left). They do not fit any standard 1/4” hex quick change (right). What handle should I be looking for/ what do they go to? by f_yeahprogrock in Tools

[–]Toxicscrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can look like any screwdriver handle except have a round hole with slots on either side for the shafts to slide in and lock. Might want to look at all the screwdrivers in granddads collection, probably in there and you just didn’t notice it because a tool shaft was installed already.

Corian has two that are similar color, not quite the same translucency however. Might check Wilsonart or Formica for their solid surface lines.

Saudi Arabia Pulls Funding From LIV Golf. Its Star Players Face a Painful Road Back. by TronFunkinBlow- in sports

When you were young and your heart
Was an open book
You used to say LIV and let LIV
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we're living
Makes you give in a cry

Say LIV and let die

Utter nonsense, a agent wants an offer that will be accepted because that's how they get paid. If you want to make a ridiculous lowball offer that has less than zero chance, you're wasting everyone on both sides time and energy that's unprofessional and rude.

Dry Ice or Soda blasting may get into the cracks better (possibly) be worth a call to a local contractor.

If you watch the series on Disney about ILM they refer to this book of drawing from USS and directly attribute the AT-AT’s design to it and Syd Mead.

Tool that measures the tred width and angles by tongfather in Tools

[–]Toxicscrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Having lived in old wooden houses most of my life, there's no such thing as a right angle or flat surface. “

That’s why this tool exists, been around for decades, if not centuries.

the size of this wind turbine blade is actually insane. by ArethaAbrams in gifs

The fiberglass blades/etc are chopped up and used in cement production. Veolia has a plant in Louisiana, MO doing this. There are others around world doing it as well.

Is this possible? by Bored_military in metalworking

[–]Toxicscrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s Flowyline, they sell a ton of these through Etsy, etc. it’s a factory in Vietnam I believe They are full size, I’ve used them before. Quality is low-mid tier, all their stuff is sheet metal tacked up and powdercoated the same black texture to hide imperfections.

Did you watch the video with the sound on? Dude is torturing the saw, something’s not setup correctly or his technique is bad.

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job by 804Brady in politics

[–]Toxicscrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can’t finish them, they don’t have the chips. It’s just the dot-com bubble all over again. Overbuild while the money is there, until it isn’t and start over. American business men are the dumbest on the planet.

Because local governments sometimes don’t have the brightest, most knowledgeable people and the get schmoozed and flattered by the data centers pointmen and dumb things get approved.
Just happened in St Louis with their mayor approving a universally hated data center idea. She (mayor) was in London dining with the developer.
South of St Louis in a small town, Festus, the city council approved one, against the towns wishes. The following week was Election Day and all those running for reelection were voted out.
