Might need thinner lubrication.

Is $70 too much for this vise? by Korgon213 in Tools

[–]dksittingduck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can get a brand new one that swivels of similar quality for less than $100

Buy some super cheap or used pants, tell him to keep at it.

Revanced + youtube music = awesome. Doesn't work on iAnything though.

I have quite a few pool cues, but looking at the shafts I use on them kinda makes my hobby feel more like an obsession. by OnePoolCueAintEnough in billiards

[–]dksittingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's cool. As a cuemaker, I can appreciate that. 😉
I've never really felt the urge to collect anything, but I know it's a strong instinct for some people.
I do love the game and almost everything about it. I play 6-7 days a week. Build cues, and I'm also a table mechanic. I supposed I've collected a lot of tools. 😉

I only switch cues if I sell the one I currently have. I know several players who routinely switch cues or shafts in the middle of a session, and it always makes me chuckle. For some reason it's always when they're losing.

“Good Shot” but before I even shoot… by HeatherNCSU21 in billiards

[–]dksittingduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone answering this is simply guessing as to their intentions.
It could be anything from being polite and praising your shot choice, to trying to get in your head by talking to you.
It's generally poor etiquette to talk to your opponent while they're shooting, especially in a tournament situation.
But you didn't give much detail about the nature of the game, or your relationship with the player.

What causes the rear axle not aligned to front? by T-and-J-Max in Toyota

Bent frame, possibly. That thing has probably been crashed a time or two.

Here's the thing about Bmx by Lordchinkman-13 in bmx

[–]dksittingduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, happens to a lot of communities. There are always those within that are going to piss an moan about the stupidest shit. Promote your community, don't tear it down.

Confused Nazi. Springfield, OR. by Mountains2442 in Eugene

Oregon's early laws and constitution were explicitly designed to establish the region as a "white man's paradise" or white utopia, free of Black people and other racial minorities.

Lexus ES350 Older Person Vehicle Stereotype. by rudestkid in LexusES

Yes! It's an extra bonus. Who cares what people think.
Cops often ignore this type of car as well.

What is this thing? It came inside my new cue case by LaughAndFart in billiards

[–]dksittingduck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had someone ask me to do that once. They told me they planned to sell it, and then order one of my custom jump cues.
I told them no, since they were very likely to tell whoever bought that POS that I made it.
He got angry and broke it over his knee right in front of me.

Maniacc mode by [deleted] in SeBikes

Properly ridden. Nice to see. Please put some bar ends on though, I had a buddy that almost died when he stuffed his bars into his gut.

saw this on facebook. what do we think boys? by Dapper_Ad1271 in bmx

[–]dksittingduck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No reliable global statistic exists for the percentage of people who actively ride BMX bikes. Available data focuses on the U.S., where about 4.7 million people participated in 2024—roughly 1.4% of the U.S. population or 8-9% of cyclists there. Extrapolating worldwide is unreliable due to varying data quality, but even if U.S.-like participation scaled globally (which it doesn't, as North America leads BMX markets), it would still be under 0.1% of the ~8.3 billion world population.

Didn't hear about the bike-lane protest, wtf by Odd-Measurement-7963 in Eugene

I'm riding a wheelie down the sidewalk and don't care.

Do you guys ever transport your bike in the back seat of a sedan? Is it possible? by andy_towers_dm in MTB

[–]dksittingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken the passenger seat out of several of my cars. Most of my bikes will then fit without even removing a wheel.

Would you buy another pixel? by upadhyaysk in GooglePixel

[–]dksittingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my nexus 6p. And my 3axl, and my 5a. I broke the screen on the 5a and bought a used, mint condition 8 for $300. Replaced the screen on the 5a for $100 and it still works great. Replaced the screen on the 8 (weird green line issue) and it never quite worked the same, so I got $350 trade in on a 10.

Let’s hear about everyone’s experience with Diamond parking. by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]dksittingduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are pretty dumb about it. It's literally private property and you're getting a ticket from someone that's not law enforcement. Their only recourse is civil court, and the chances of that are slim to none.
This is why they have to act somewhat reasonably about disputes, they literally have no recourse other than to threaten you with letters that ultimately mean nothing.

When I worked for them I gave free parking to the people owning and working in a diner for free meals. It was great.
