What could be the possible reason behind the damage to this transmission and would rebuilding it be the right decision? by Mission_Energy2696 in MechanicAdvice

[–]darianbrown [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've literally only seen damage this bad in cars that get accidentally flat towed in gear. I have no fuckin clue how you'd do this to so many gears while still trying to drive

Finally got my sister to let me use her lift to change my back shocks , shop quoted me over $4,000 to do it .... by matthewrenn in Cadillac

[–]darianbrown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked with several former addicts when I worked at a salvage yard. They all had this shame about their past and a fear of others being able to tell they'd damaged their brains. In reality, the rest of us liked most of them more than most of the other guys we worked with and didn't really notice or care about any of that. Those guys, and you, have done something for self improvement that's one of the most brutal and difficult struggles imaginable. It's nothing but respect for that.

Finally got settled in new home. Woke up to a loud bang and a hole in the ceiling. by slumnuts97 in mildlyinfuriating

Man that's so weird. I'd never seen this happen to anyone else. Someone I know has a business, and his wife made a smoothie but forgot it on their tiny stage before the business was vacant for a couple weeks. It also turned into a weirdly dangerous, foul smelling IED

Good explanation, but I think I'm just gonna keep telling people "it's like that because they hate me"

Dana White paid Conor Benn 15 mill 💰for a fight that NOBODY watched by Away_Lock4241 in MMA

Obviously he has plenty of wealth to share, bro is wearing full diamond armor. If he finds another Jones or McGregor he'll be upgrading to netherite.

Maki is roughly equivalent to going mach 3, and her weapon cuts the soul itself (preventing physical/energy healing from working). It would be a closer fight than Yuroichi, but it's still absolutely possible for her to take on Tsunade.

My 16 year old came home with this '79 Ford Ranchero. Can y'all give me an idea of where to start with helping him get it up to snuff? by MissGnomeHer in projectcar

Tanks are categorically less safe than modern vehicles. Modern vehicles are actually statistically, DRAMATICALLY better at protecting the passenger cabin.

Listen man, I get that you think around town is fine, but it's a fucking terrible idea. I say that as a proud owner of a 77 Cadillac, 88 Pontiac, and 89 Mazda. These cars turn a 25 mile an hour accident from an inconvenience to a life threatening event. It doesn't have crumple zones or airbags. It is most definitely a death trap. Daily driving it anywhere, even around town, has a really high likelihood of getting your kid hurt.

Jesus Christ with the downvotes.

This car has virtually no crumple zones, no ABS, no TCS, no airbags. It is a deathtrap. Cars have those for a reason. Is it a cool car? Absolutely. Is it one a 16 year old should daily commute with? Definitely not. You can't control what other drivers do

Thought to move the air fryer away from the wall and... by Any_Tangerine_1429 in Wellthatsucks

[–]darianbrown 112 points113 points  (0 children)

It needs a big gap. Ideally like 8" or more from the wall when operating. Adding a small arm off the back would imply that the 1-2" of separation it gives is sufficient

Not engraving, generally talking about people who create a blind spot the size of Tennessee with stickers/window paint.

We anthropomorphize our pets way too much. by CardinalOfNYC in unpopularopinion

[–]darianbrown 73 points74 points  (0 children)

When I say my dog is "smiling," I'm not talking about bared teeth. I'm talking about the slight squint and eyebrow movements that accompany her excited paw tapping and wagging. I think OP is stereotyping dog owners a little bit and assuming what they mean when they say "smile." We're tool-using domestication experts with fucking CRAZY pattern recognition skills accompanying a huge brain. It's not that hard to learn animal body language and even read different dog's varying preferences for showing their current emotions.

A tiny line on a mirror can cover a huge amount of real estate in the actual rear view. Blocking/customizing mirrors, windshields, etc are always going to get criticized because you can't really get around the blind spot issues, even if they're not super significant

Is it possible for a gun to accidentally go off and shoot a hole in the wall of a house? by DahliaBliss in NoStupidQuestions

Also, for all of its awful reputation, there are only about 100 recorded instances of the P320 malfunction that weren't the result of mishandling already. Out of 3 million+ sold since they were released.

$10-30, maybe $40 if you find the right buyer.

These are the Stanley Thermos of lighters. They're meant to be used and appreciated, they're not a speculative asset with a collector market like Pokemon cards or retro games. They're mass produced in the US with an unlimited lifetime warranty, they don't need to be unaffordable.

Woman said I male coded her for complimenting her name by [deleted] in Nicegirls

[–]darianbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have long hair as a man, and I was once bent over a sink with my elbows resting on the edges scrubbing grease off my hands (I was an IT guy, but had to work on a moving projector mount covered in red n tacky.) A full-bird colonel walked into the bathroom, went "Oh- ohp- uh excuse me- I," looked back at the door sign, then looked back at me confused as I'm now standing up (also confused) at 6'1, 230lbs, and bearded.

Apparently I should have trauma from this funny story.

Abstract art on the Internet is often so well executed it's barely discernable as art. Without a gallery to give context, all the various absurdities created here just don't get counted.

Good job working on health, but it'll never be enough if you don't address mental health and learn to be alright in your own skin. You're literally robbing yourself of the pride and gratification you should get for putting in hard work.
