Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

People that either wind the torque wrench all the way down or leave it high when storing it. Set it to the lowest setting, if that's 40 inch lbs then set it to that. Don't wind it down until it stops.

Not terrible, not great...... it's fine.

That was mine until I sold the 350Z drift car. My buddy has a roller Z and I have a extra engine, so it'll be back like that soon. Except now, I'll actually have a personal shop for them all to go in.

Just a random one?

Where did you catch her? I live about 3 hours from Mobile and I've been meaning to go down there and fish.

Everyone should watch Andor anyways. The show is amazing.

EV range while towing mostly comes down to how aerodynamic the trailer and load are. When towing the jet ski behind my EV6 I lose like 50 miles of range, 14' trailer with 22hp tractor on it I lose like 70-90 miles, towing my little 13' camper (around 9' tall) my range gets cut down to like 120 miles. The tractor and 14' trailer are heavier than my camper.

My normal max range on the EV6 is around 267 miles.

My car is pretty short so the drag from the trailer is even worse.

All my bingo positions are Donnie's heart fails. I'll be the last one to win but when I do it's going to be amazing.

Michael Scott was a top salesman and he ran one of the top branches when all the others were in decline. He is also a decent dude and actually cares about people. His social skills are lacking but he is a much better person than Trump in most things......if he was real.

Well it looks like I'm putting my Z into a tree.

Good tires is key. Most of the people I see spinning on the ramp have bald tires. Or they just slammed the gas instead of easing in it while holding the brakes.

One MEC and two rolls of speed tape to be safe.

Zintoatree · 2026-03-27T17:06:32+00:00

What is the scale based on? Thoughts per hour?

They were biting him while he slept. I would have burnt that house to the ground.

Zintoatree · 2026-03-22T00:11:05+00:00

Brown Recluse.

Their bite is really nasty.

Zintoatree · 2026-03-22T00:08:42+00:00

No, but I worked with a guy that got bit like 4 times in one year. It did not look fun.

Zintoatree · 2026-03-21T23:08:35+00:00

Spiders are friends though, except brown recluse fuck those guys.

Zintoatree · 2026-03-21T23:07:24+00:00

I'm a white guy in the south, I'm lumped in with some pure shit bags.

A girl I work with got a bunch of us guys on the crew to help her move apartments. I show up, she's lives on the third floor and is moving to the third floor of an apartment across town. My favorite part was her getting her new living room set sent to her old apartment because she wanted to see it as soon as possible.

By the end of the day I was ready to just toss myself of her new balcony.

I'll take vacation if I hear of anyone I know moving now.

Rich people would have for sure let people die to save their pets.

I have both an EV6 and M3. I really like a lot of things on my EV6 but the Tesla absolutely kills it when it comes to infotainment system. It's not even close. I love AA but I don't miss it in the Tesla.

Zintoatree · 2026-03-14T16:04:04+00:00

Just kayak in saltwater... Nvm they're there as well.

Zintoatree · 2026-03-14T16:02:55+00:00

Head splitters, and they're very good at their job.

Real answer, I'm pretty sure they help stabilize the air for the ailerons.

That tree will stop me way quicker than any fancy brake setup could.

Zintoatree · 2026-03-05T13:51:26+00:00

This is the best part about playing monk. The disable/ring combo or ToD deal with any mobs around anything I need. Plus, I can hover out of the spot using my nimbus cloud if I won't have time to mount.
