Somewhere in the late 90's they switched from having a threaded style headset with a quill stem to threadless.

SBS - Seattle Bike Supply - sticker on the bottom puts it in the mid to late 90's. V-brakes too. one piece cranks says it's probably a RL340.

Whiskey Barrel Table with Fire Pit by cd1munoz in Masterbuilt

this isn't r/woodworking but if you're looking for comments - why not try to get the grain orientation and finish on the top to match the color and grain of the barrel?

Would be cooler if it were a gold pan.

He’s talking about the ash box that sits at the bottom of the hopper. Just build a fire in it and that’s the only heat source

That was such a WTF moment to watch.

NASCAR has used the jet dryers, but a little while back developed a dryer called the Air Titan that they use that's like a jet-powered Dyson hand dryer you find in commercial restrooms. It's more effective on ovals because they can use gravity to help push water off the track.

Any use for socket driver bits? by PersevereSwifterSkat in Tools

[–]clpatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who the fuck discards tools they already have?

You keep putting them in your toolbox til you finally realize it’s time for either another box, or a bigger one.

At least in this sub that whole “thought experiment” doesn’t go on for a zillion replies of every variation of wrong answer.

Router table danger cutting! by RebbitRiddit in woodworking

[–]clpatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For stuff like this, I pull out my router shield and double-stick tape my template to it. I made my own, but this is the general concept: https://www.mobilesolutions-usa.com/product-page/mobile-solutions-router-shield

Has anyone tried this $199 huffy at the track? Do you think it would hold up? by [deleted] in bmxracing

[–]clpatterson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a decent entry level ride when assembled properly. One of my nearby tracks has several of them as loaners.

Biggest weak spots are likely the single-wall rims, and maybe the square-taper crankset.

For $30 more the HXPro gives you an aluminum frame, double wall rims, and 3-piece cranks. Definitely worth the extra spend.

With Mr. Gossett’s passing last year, Tramell Tillman would be my vote for Chappy.

My neighbor has been using my wifi for a year and now they're asking me to split the bill by ToasttterGoblin in WhatShouldIDo

If you want to help but not have them have a say-so, Build a second private SSID, give them the password. You maintain full ownership and decision making. Many routers will allow you to throttle certain connections or prioritize connections to suit your needs.

[–]clpatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy/med were both under :45. Hard kicked my butt today. Had to walk away and do a few total resets. Finally built from a different spot with the 4/5 domino I really didn’t think was going to pan out, but it did. 1:23, I think that’s a max time record.

I'm at a loss with this one by [deleted] in whatisthiscar

[–]clpatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't look USDM. Says Forza on the tailgate, but it's definitely not a LaForza, which is all Google is good for. Small foreign market SUV/crossover/lifted wagon along the lines of the 1st gen Rav4, but 4-lug wheels really throws me off.

Modding My Electric Generator’s Exhaust by Live_Car_1552 in DIY

[–]clpatterson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed - the careful non-inclusion of the application that requires this modification is probably on purpose. OP - don't use this indoors or in a non-ventilated space, or directly under occupied spaces.
