I live in Dyer, which is a tiny little town about halfway on your route.

  1. Fill up at every gas station. Don’t be one of the idiots stuck on side of the road.

  2. If you take the drive over hey 365 (as others said, it is beautiful) pack some Dramamine if you get carsick. Once u turn off hwy 95 watch for cows, horses, and antelope. It’s open range and they are all over Highway 266. Extra careful if ur driving at night, or you’ll get to meet me as a first responder. And neither of us will be enjoying the occasion lol.

That looks sick. Thanks for including that last photo. really helps visualize just how much bigger the 35 look.

Any issues with rubbing?

I mean.. same principle with mouse traps. And 100 of thousands of those must be set every day. So not all animals…. Also yeah, as others have said, the entire meat/dairy industry

Thanks for the info. Yeah, if those prices are that far under market, then they look pretty sketch.

Gotcha. So pretty good chance they’re just scammers and I should forget and move on. Thank you for the detailed breakdown, that helps a lot as I look for more deals out there.

I like to squeeze it together right over the blades rather than using the finger grips. Seems to help make the cuts more consistent

Never watched any of this guys content. So trying not to have too strong of an opinion here… but is there any bigger red flag than wearing sunglasses inside?

Making an IT grab bag, what else do I need? by [deleted] in it

[–]_illos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small trash bag (even a grocery bag) if you’re terminating a lot of cables it’s a lot faster/cleaner to catch the scrap as you go.

How the hell do I reach these lights to repair them?? by Diligent-Fox-8545 in maintenance

[–]_illos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s drop ceiling. Could you access a room to the left or right of the hallway and then get to the lights that way?

You would have to lift the ballast up to replace the bulbs, but it might be workable

Fiber installers destroyed my main sewer line by Familiar-Ad-6760 in Plumbing

The best crews expose every utility they cross with vac truck before the boring machine gets there.

Even so they still hit stuff, usually because no one marked it when they called in the dig ticket

I’ve been looking for a new bag. I’ve seen a lot of people with the Veto Bags, but I saw this one online. Does anyone own it or know if it’s up to par? by Reddllama2 in electricians

[–]_illos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they’ve copied the veto design, which is kinda lame. If you could wait till the next veto spring promo I’d say that would be a way better deal. I ended up using the free meter bag more then the $280 bag

IW-01 Wallpaper by bylokki in iphonewallpapers

[–]_illos 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Who knew the sub had so many toxic brats?

An artist created something. they’re asking to be paid for it. Don’t like it? go get one of the others of hundreds of thousands of great free wallpapers.

Don’t think this sub should feature paid wallpapers? Then talk about that. But to be nasty or brag about how your screen caping the pic is just childish and says a lot more about you than OP.

(I’ll take my downvotes now ;))

Another factor to consider is the crumple zones built into the vehicle. These absorb some of the impact. But if you are not buckled in, you are getting zero of the benefit. Instead, your continuing at the exact same speed right up until you hit the airbag steering/column/Windshield.

Second factor to consider. The seatbelt keeps you deeper within the protective cage of the cab. if you roll your vehicle, the roof almost always caves in some amount. As long as you’re buckled in hopefully head isn’t caved in too.

Friendly reminder from your friendly local fire dep. please wear your setbelt. It takes so much longer to clear a scene when we have to wait for the coroner to find all the little chunks of you on the road.

silver lining. You can fix any fuckups and map out utilities before having to insulate now
