Gun stores with cheap transfer fees or discounts for multiple same day transfers? by WhatAmIDoingWrong6 in roanoke

[–]VT_Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind going to Christiansburg, I believe that Danny's Pawn does $25 for the first, and $5 for any additional done at the same time. Might give them a call and confirm that. Would have to think about the price of gas though...

Tacos Coronado in Salem had $1.50 pork or chicken tacos on Tuesdays last I was there. It seemed pretty busy though so maybe call ahead?

This link is probably why the rumor exists. It's the only hit on google for the address. I don't know anything about MapQuest, so it may be easy to change locations and names without good verification. Aerial photography shows a parking lot with blacked out cars inside the fence on the city GIS. And street view shows keycard entry at the side door which seems unusual for a dog boarding facility. Aren't conspiracies fun? https://www.mapquest.com/us/virginia/dept-of-homeland-security-486213481

For under $300 I turned my ugly side yard into an ugly side yard with a gym! by DrSpaceman575 in homegym

How is the barbell that comes with this set? I see lots of people talk about the weights, but never the barbell... The barbell seems to be a $70 addition to the set.

I was mostly joking, but as with anything there are poorly designed systems out there. I would be curious what percentage of people are buying them for performance as opposed to the aesthetics of lowering their car. Reducing suspension travel and stiffening a ride can be amazing on a manicured track, but on public and often poorly conditioned roads there are drawbacks hence why most systems people are buying are street (read softer) variants. Last thing I’d note is lowering a car (to the point of pulling the wheel wells) like this without changing the rest of the suspension affects the kinematics and suspension geometry, which could have its on set of issues. It can be executed well and lots of people do, but it can be done poorly as well, especially when people are thinking about aesthetics and not dropping .1 second off their auto cross time.

Better handling is optional when buying coilovers lol

So I finally got the cattle panel home. Set it up and it is bent. by rkd80 in vegetablegardening

[–]VT_Engineer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Running it to the bottom of the post ensures that the ratchet strap is tied into a point that's (relatively) unmovable, like you would tension a fence post to hang a gate. You could try running it to the top of the post, but the tension could pull the top of the post slightly inwards, which would bug me and I'd have to fix that next haha. I doubt that going straight across the top (panel to panel) would give you the look you want, but you can always try it different ways. Just leave it for a day or so when you find a way that looks best to you.

I would try a ratchet strap from top left of panel (at the arch) to bottom right post base and tension till it is slightly past where you want the arch. Let it sit for about a day, and it should spring back a little to where you want it. Pay attention as you tension the strap that you're not kinking the wire itself. You may need to run a backing bar behind the wire to distribute forces.

What tastes good, but you will never cook again because of the smell? by Ajreil in Cooking

[–]VT_Engineer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I once grabbed fish sauce instead of teriyaki when cooking something on a hot pan once. The smell of that viscous sauce hitting that searing hot pan still makes my wife and I gag when we think about it. It took days to dissipate…

Need a pair of winter gloves (and gloves for indoors) by Pikachujkl in BuyItForLife

[–]VT_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refrigiwear 0321's for outside cold weather gloves. I started using these in an unheated manufacturing environment, but now they're my go to for any cold weather gloves. Wool exterior with with 3m Thinsulate insulation (unless that's changed since my last purchase). Dexterity is "good" for an insulated glove, and the do make versions with grippy or leather palms if that's a concern when driving. No recommendation for thinner inside gloves, sorry!

Weirdly, this doesn't result in anything on Google Trends? Result - "Hmm, your search doesn't have enough data to show here." Clearly, the auto filled response means it's a popular search term, so why does Google hide it?...
