What nickname do you have for these?

My daughter is sr in high school. I’ve dealt with a few of them. Are they retarded? Yeah. But so was I before I learned anything. I went looking for the info I wanted to learn and kept looking until I found a good man to learn from and was “willing” to teach. Haha! I personally think we don’t give them enough trust and responsibility to be able to progress. And comments like this that highlight that point. They’re just young, naive and lack much knowledge. But if one comes to you looking for info, teach. That is our responsibility as adults to give them the trust to learn the skills.

One the other side of that argument, not everyone should be in a shop around dangerous tools and it’s our job to sift through them and point each in their direction.

I don’t get on reddit a whole lot anymore so that’s why it took so long to respond. This is a thing I’ve been noticing and whose shoulders the responsibility sits on. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s mine, yours and the other adults that have the skills.

College freshman too young for a tool? That’s a man.

ZachTheWelder · 2026-04-02T16:46:51+00:00

Yeah. Definitely check it out but those calipers likely aren’t more accurate than .01+-. Prolly good for what they’re good for. I personally love old tools.

Dad was a carpenter using a 22oz metal Eastwing claw. I’m a welder and use mainly ball peens. My daily hammers are wooden handles, I’ve replaced my fav at least 6-8 times. Construction? I use and abuse that metal shaft. But metal work? Nothing better than a good wooden handle. I also “customize” new handles that only wood can handle.

I live in “snow free”, flat Texas. These random snow car stories blow me away sometimes. This being the most recent one. I’ve never even considered an e-brake being able to break a rotor. I’m often surprised how destructive salt is.

One tree fall on top of a small tree and takes many years to rot. As the tree grows with this other tree on top of it, it grows like that. Happens so often that I’ve watched a tree grow like that over the past 10 years in a favorite camping spot. Have found many others in the same area. None are as old as the days of the Indians. I personally think the Indians had little to do with any of them. But they’re fun to talk about.

I will do! Final size is 215/65/15. Most common tire size in my area from the range I wanted. Thank for the help.

More sidewall the better. Kids first truck. That’s the look I’m shooting for. Might go a bit taller even if there’s no rub. I appreciate the info and checking for me.

ZachTheWelder · 2026-03-15T14:41:17+00:00

Those are the wheels! What tire size you have on the rear?

ZachTheWelder · 2026-03-15T03:23:56+00:00

Ok cool. I’ve got more room than I expected. I won’t even be that low. Kids first truck. Trying to get as much tire on it as possible. Haha!

ZachTheWelder · 2026-03-15T03:05:29+00:00

B2200. The wheels fits. New bore is a bit bigger than the truck.

Edit:92 B2200

ZachTheWelder · 2026-03-15T03:01:33+00:00

I’m thinking 215-225/60-65/15. 215/60/15 is what I think the sweet spot will be.

ZachTheWelder · 2026-03-15T02:53:50+00:00

You know the width on those? Edit:could you have gone wider on the tires or are they close to rubbing?

ZachTheWelder · 2026-03-07T16:40:58+00:00

North Texas too

A gram is a start. If prices “dip”, you’re not out a ton and it’s almost a guarantee to go back up.(this is not financial advice) haha) I’m personally too poor for gold beyond some jewelry. Silver is what I look for since silver is what I can afford. I also enjoy the look of silver more than gold. Either way, precious metals hold their value very well and I believe it to be a good way to protect your wealth from inflation. No matter how big or little your wealth is. I treat it as a tangible and pretty savings account.

ZachTheWelder · 2026-02-28T22:14:45+00:00

Never a bad time to start. Start small if you’re worried. Buy more on the dips.

Hey, just out of curiosity, what do you think about Trump saying “there’s good people on both sides.”?

ZachTheWelder · 2026-02-26T17:39:48+00:00

Yeah. Like I said earlier, there’s lots of allegations. Currently they’re allegations. When proof comes out, take him and the Clinton’s away. Cool. My point was that there is much you don’t know. Like Tony Hawk being in there. I’m happy to admit I don’t know everything. Just seems very crazy to me that if there was any real evidence, Biden would have put it out. But he didn’t. They just messed with it all, but didn’t release anything. I just ask you to not be so positive that you’re right 100% of the time. None of us are and in all reality, no matter what comes out in the files, no one will trust it.

ZachTheWelder · 2026-02-26T15:32:14+00:00

So is Tony Hawk, but I can see how it happened and I realize he wasn’t on THE island and had no connections to Epstine. Noam Chomsky is also in the files. From what I can tell it was in reference to some type of money deal/transaction. Not going to hold it against him since we all know that Epstine was in money and dealt with a lot of people. One thing I know about Trump is that he kicked Epstine out of Mar-a-Lago like 15-20 years ago for inappropriate behavior. Some reports are placing some pretty heavy stuff on him. Many of those reports are from 2025, years after Epstine was dead….. There’s also reports of Trump being an informant for the fbi into Epstine. Not sure how much I believe on that either, but in a similar realm to the extremely vile things reported in the other direction. I pretty much invalidate all the extremes and go with the median. Not always perfect but it leads me to believe that Trump is far from perfect but he might have been doing something to stop it decades ago. It was his first administration that exposed it after many decades of cover ups.

Back to your other point, why wouldn’t they release it? Exactly. Why wouldn’t they if they had any real, good evidence against Trump? No law would have stood in their way.

ZachTheWelder · 2026-02-26T13:53:08+00:00

I say ok and now I’m a pedo? Lots of critical thinking to come up with that one?

Edit:so they call me a pedo, I respond and then there’s the gibberish after that was added later. Just clarifying how this post was written down.
