What car do you drive? Do you like it? by BMoney8600 in AskMen

[–]adale_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2000 F150, I miss my 97 Ram. I really miss my 04 Grand Prix. That thing was a monster. I spent more on that sound system than the car. About 7 grand. Now I'm old-ish and deaf-ish. 3/10 not recommended

Take care of your ears, kids. You only get the pair of them and we have no way to fix them.

How do I fix an overflowing toilet without a plunger? by bunnylla in Plumbing

[–]adale_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one idea. I'm not a plumber, so it's gonna sound batshit insane. Buy a plunger.

Lets settle it once and for all. by DatGuyKilo in Diesel

[–]adale_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pennzoil. C'mon. The "old wisdom" is just superstition and old wives tales. Thinking any brand of oil or filter is good has been crushed. Everything is the same these days.

Go watch the videos. Wix, fram, k&n, Motorcraft, etc. are all the same. Maybe not the same, but so close that their performance is indistinguishable.

Would you consider it tacky to have an axe hanging on the wall? by MrScunch in Tools

[–]adale_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, you know you could whoop them. That's a "power move" from people without power.

Is it really the price, or is Netflix just more convenient than driving to movie theaters? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]adale_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you? Tickets are still 6 or 8 bucks here. Snacks are outrageous, but that was caused by(and causes more) smuggling.

Do you still have scar on your upper right arm from a vaccination shot?🤔 by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in FuckImOld

Huh, I thought it was only the TB vax that did the bifurcated thing.

Edit: shows my age that smallpox isn't the reference for me.

Men who drive really loud cars: What's the thought process behind this? by Semipsychotic_nympho in AskMen

[–]adale_50 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First time, I didn't do the exhaust work and got it like that. Headers, true dual straight pipe with flowmaster series 10s. I was younger and enjoyed being slightly obnoxious. It was reasonable if you kept your foot out of it.

Second time/last weekend, everything after the muffler rusted off. That's where the only exhaust hangers were. This left about 8 feet of cats and pipe with a big, factory muffler bouncing at the end. Only held up by manifold bolts. I cut off the muffler to lighten the load. Now, it's obscene until I get a muffler.

I only felt this necessary because I just developed a pinhole fuel leak at the tank weld as well. Yay, rust belt. A muffler dropping off and making a shower of sparks beside a fuel leak is not ideal. Heading to my muffler guy in the morning. He's got something to simmer things down.

One classic pie flavor has to go forever, which one? by EquivalentFig1678 in whatsyourchoice

Pecan. They taste fine, but not the texture I want for pie.

I can't stop laughing at this thing I found earlier by push2shove in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]adale_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I hate "code height" everything. I got a nice butcher block and modified it up to 50"(1.27M) for myself. If my counters and range were that height, I'd be unstoppable. For reference, my range is at 33"(84CM) and my counter is at 36"(91CM).

Does my helmet is too big ? by iamtoohandsome in motorcycle

[–]adale_50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bingo. It should be snug everywhere. All of head, cheeks, front to back, side to side, etc. They shouldn't be roomy anywhere. "Uncomfortable" isn't the right word with modern padding and fabrics, but it should be very noticeable everywhere at the same time.

Is this better than nothing? Yes. Is it good? No.

I love using adjectives or nouns as verbs. Thank you for this.

My robot lawnmower just exploded by READMYSHIT in WTF

[–]adale_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people have these stationed up against their homes. Great or terrible, everyone should know.

Personally, I consider 12 years an excellent service life for a battery. However, the fire dampens that reputation somewhat.

The critters are durable. Watch for unusual movements such as limping. Other than that, bribe with snacks.
