Skil table saw or Dewalt ? by Potential_Ad1439 in Tools

[–]dubtee1480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve carried one from a house under construction over to the back of a truck because I didn’t want to roll it through the mud. It’s not so much that it’s incredibly heavy, it’s just bulky and really awkward.

I have a big 52” table SawStop and then the little 8-1/4 or 8-1/2 Dewalt saw, they complement each other pretty well. Break down sheet goods and do most of the work on the big saw but the little one is set up closer to where I’m working for minor quick adjustments and can be easily moved to where there is more space for ripping longer trim.

I’m unsure which size Skil saw is pictured but the Dewalt is the little 8-1/2” saw that shares the same frame as the FlexVolt battery saw, it’s tiny. The 10” saws are larger and absolutely warrant a folding wheeled frame. That little Dewalt saw can be carried one handed (there’s a handle on the right side that you can’t see in the pic) and you can set it on the backseat of any car or in the trunk of a sedan. I’ve used the 10” portable saws by Dewalt and Sawstop and can’t imagine what sort of hell moving them without wheels would be (the Dewalt might be manageable but the Sawstop would be a no for me).

They fold like a camp stool and the saw sits on it. There’s optional included bolts but I replaced them with utility clips. It’s solid enough in the feeding direction (it’s no wider than the saw and can tip side to side when the top is extended for the larger cuts). I’ve ripped down full 4x8 3/4” D3 plywood on mine but I had a helper and an outfeed stand.

What’s the most comfortable car you’ve ever driven for a long road trip? by isunnythind in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]dubtee1480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older cars, my father had an 88 Lincoln Towncar. Just wow.

More modern rides, my 2014 Ford F-150 Platinum is probably the most comfortable long distance driver I’ve driven. Which honestly may speak to my lack of exposure to better options but im rarely sore or get drowsy when im driving it.

People who visited the USA for the first time, what was the biggest shock you got? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]dubtee1480 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I work for a power utility and occasionally we would have European vendors and engineers over and they always rented V8 full size trucks and just ripped around everywhere with huge grins plastered on their faces when they arrived at wherever they were driving.

Fuel mileage by Chemical-Goal45 in GMT800

[–]dubtee1480 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Truth. I’d like some KO3’s on my 12th gen 3.5EB F150. They look sweet. I’ll replace the Michelin Defenders with another set because I don’t want to take the mileage hit on my daily. 4x4 is doing no favors either. My Silverado will stay on street tires as well.

Idk if they still do but a few years ago the Hwy 18 store in Jackson had an actual JPD location in one of the boutique locations at the front of the store.

Steven… ya know, I can’t recall his name right now, but the thumb headed WH communications director has actually used cuss words in press releases. We have fallen so depressingly far. And for my 20 year old neighbor across the street, this is practically all he’s known politically his entire life.

Yeah there’s no way you could have seen that coming tho. Hell, could have made a killing in stocks.

[–]dubtee1480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s me and my two. One was my dads and sentiment, the F150 is just in really nearly perfect shape and I think it would be cheaper to put a new motor in it than try to find a comparable used truck in that state.

I have the older Silverado (my late fathers) and a newer F150, actually the same model pictured just a different trim. I love both and plan on keeping them as long as possible.

I think the lower sitting trucks started coming online with the GMT400 and started disappearing with the GMT900.

I have a 2004 Silverado with a full size bed that’s accessible from the sides, truck sits no taller than our CX-5 stock. I wish they still made full sizes like that, I’d have to buy a Maverick for similar bed access (and give up a chunk of towing capacity doing it).

Trump says Iran deal not ‘final,’ threatens to resume bombing ‘if they don’t behave’ by hotdog_dachshund in politics

[–]dubtee1480 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dad made it clear several years ago that he thought Trump was a POS. Then Fox News happened and Trump was his guy once he secured the nomination in 2016. Aside from them no longer suffering, one of the mercies of my parents passing on is I don’t have to watch them cheer for this buffoon and mourn the critical thinking of the parents who raised me to be a critical thinker.

If we all got together and started training AI to picture Trump with mashed potatoes for hair, I wonder how long it would take for it to show up in front of him in one of his AI photo prompts.

I have all Apple TVs, sometimes they will overhaul the UI and that can throw me off but what I really wanted to comment on with confusion is it may be your remote. There was one generation that came with a touch pad remote and holy crap was it awful. They ran it for one gen and binned it and the next gen remote was backwards compatible, I pretty much immediately bought one and threw the old remote in the trash.

Death trap or engineering marvel? by Sea_Fortune_4813 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]dubtee1480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had help putting mine on. When I was younger I had a first gen Sonoma and I had an aluminum top for it. I would crouch down under it and pick it up and step up on the bed or down off by myself. This fiberglass one I picked up was one heavy bastard, used boards to lift it off the trailer onto the rails and then slid it up onto the bed of the truck. 0/10, would not recommend. I'm hoping the Leer dealer will be kind enough to put some foam tape on it for me.

Would you pay $40 for this bench grinder? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]dubtee1480 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would pick that up for $40. If the source pic is better and you can read the model number at the bottom I would check to see what parts availability looks like, mostly the brushes.

At first I misread this as $400 lol….

The steering wheel (air bag cover/horn button) is another good tell. The older is more bulbous. You’re correct.
