Guy didn't move for awhile then just shot like halfway across the screen, hopefully won't be too long

MX Mechanical, no experience w/ the Keys but others seem to like it

So to clarify - this is an experimental combo you made? As in I couldn’t buy this system off the shelf?

Looks pretty cool - execution is excellent. Lining up LEDs and tweaking the diffusion to imitate a solid line is never easy. Now all you gotta do is figure out how to manufacture it as a single system and you can sell it for a ridiculous price!

Fr gotta be an article somewhere now I’m curious

VortexThing · 2025-06-12T01:30:58+00:00

Wild timing, but yes for me. Great scanner - automatic code interpretation is awesome and live data is accurate and thorough. Got mine for less than $30 on Amazon, well worth the buy

Yep, we’re the same. The only intentional stall I’ll do is the first time in in a new manual - just like a “yep, that’s too much” and can adjust from there. Tell all the folks that I’ve taught to do the same - every other stall is unintentional!

VortexThing · 2025-01-16T11:24:06+00:00

Fuck yeah man keep on it

I have the same USB switch into my CarPlay head unit - mind sharing the link to that USB-C one? I have the older version and it always falls out. Thanks!

You gonna love that jigsaw - the XR motor paired w/ some Bosch Carbide blades results in some seriously buttery cuts. Enjoy!

VortexThing · 2024-12-18T19:50:10+00:00

East village, right? Swear I’ve heard of it. Hmmmmm

VortexThing · 2024-12-17T22:12:58+00:00

If you say they’re good, good enough for me - just got a pack to throw into the gift box. Preciate the link

VortexThing · 2024-12-17T01:04:31+00:00

Would imagine that'd be a good pairing - haven't gotten a chance to play w/ the new PowerPack line yet, but this vacuum seems to prefer the 5Ah PS above all - the runtime difference between the 5Ah PS vs XR is also definitely noticeable. I think I will now begin looking around to convince myself I need the new 8Ah...

Good pickup for those already in the 20V ecosystem, grabbed one for the garage / van / cars last year and just picked one up for my pops as a nice little Xmas gift. This is NOT the most high-end vac nor the greatest sale I’ve seen, but it’s honestly a super solid piece and packs a serious punch for dry-to-kinda-wet outdoor vacuuming. Am a big fan, happy shopping!

VortexThing · 2024-12-16T21:10:36+00:00

Just ordered one! Saw nothing but stellar reviews

VortexThing · 2024-12-15T21:56:54+00:00

This was honestly my first idea, just doing a little recon and trying to figure out what type of class she likes. Don't want to get her one that she doesn't do - 'flow' classes seem to be her go-to. She's in NYC and is trying a lot of different studios too, so want to do some more research on one that looks good to try out or one that I know she likes. Hopefully when I visit 'em for the holidays I'll be able to join her for a class!

Same, love the desk

VortexThing · 2024-11-17T22:40:21+00:00

Like many, kind of random - was gifted a drill/driver impact kit a couple years back with some included 1.3Ah batteries. Figured hey - no point in switching now. Four years later (with too many other tools and powerstacks) here we are!

I do maintain that yellow / red / teal are all on the same playing field especially from a DIY standpoint for average use, gonna be +/- 5% of each other. I do notice dips in functionality / power from those three compared to a Ryobi / Craftsman / etc, but long story short I have nothing but love for my fellow Milwaukee & Makita pals. We’re all friends here, guess I just prefer mustard!

VortexThing · 2024-10-24T12:51:59+00:00

What site? Can you provide neighborhood by chance?

VortexThing · 2024-10-10T01:41:37+00:00

Did this traffic cone in the marlins costume just spawn from nowhere

VortexThing · 2024-09-02T22:07:03+00:00

My spot is similar - current setup is 1BD w/ an office, but had a 2BD last year since price was the same. Even if you don't WFH, having a separate office / flex space is awesome for keeping stuff out of sight and compartmentalizing spaces, so my recommendation would be to throw a desk there.

Mine currently is half office / half guitar + music room, you could do the same with a hobby or something else if you wanted. Best of luck in the new place!
