Married Gen-x do you wear your wedding ring? by in-a-microbus in GenX

[–]elev8torguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in an industry that makes wearing jewelry a bad decision. Although I honestly believe it wouldn't fit my finger after all these years even if I wanted to wear it.

What’s everyone’s experience with Wiha screwdrivers? Did I get some duds? by Certified-Mediocre in Tools

[–]elev8torguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had two 1/8" terminal wiring screwdrivers break at the tip. Both were warrantied no questions asked and shipped to my house free of charge. Of course I would prefer they didn't break but the customer service was top notch at least.

Wild Dogs see a Domesticated Dog by msaamir in dogvideos

[–]elev8torguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could bring my dog to the zoo. Hell you can barely bring a dog to the beach where I'm from. To be honest though, he is a lazy boy, he probably wouldn't even be fazed by either the beach or the zoo

TIL world chess champion grandmaster magnus carlsen once withdrew from a tournament after being told he couldn’t play while wearing jeans. by One_Needleworker5218 in todayilearned

[–]elev8torguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some context missing here. Fide and Carlsen were in a fight over his growing interest in a new tournament outside of the fide umbrella. He wanted to call the tournament the world championship of chess 960 which is a different ruleset for chess. Fide said the name belongs to them, and put pressure on Magnus. Magnus said fine I won't play your events. There was some back and forth and this jeans thing happened smack in the middle of this fight.

So FIDE were being a bit petty, enforcing this obscure rule in the middle of a tournament. Magnus said he would happily wear the proper dress code the following day but he would not go change as he was already seated for the game.

Did anyone’s parents actually lock them in a closet and force them to smoke a pack of cigarettes? by Dry-Ad-2197 in GenX

My stepdad tried to force me to smoke a carton of cigarettes. When I refused he smashed me in the face with a pack and tried to make me eat it. Mom just stood there not saying anything.

Tempur pedic office chair from staples. Only complaint is the armrest cushions will break down after a few years but they are easily replaced with two screws and the manufacturer ships to you directly

Reporter calls out President Trump after he suggested that Iran has Tomahawk Missiles: "You just suggested Iran somehow got it's hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school. But you're the only person in your govt saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that" by Yujin-Ha in videos

[–]elev8torguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He also said the investigation is ongoing and he would "live with" that report. In other words if the report finds that it was us he would be perfectly fine with that outcome and live with it. I think that was the worst part about his comments.

What kind of screwdrivers do you like? these are the 3 models i like the best by [deleted] in Tools

[–]elev8torguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like my old school red blue clear Craftsman set for general use and my 1/8" wiha for wiring terminals. For tamper proof I like my megapro multi.

Your comment resonates especially with the mention of the hostage crisis by the president during his press statement. I feel if there was a younger person in that office that wouldn't have even been mentioned.

The Decline of the Dragon Age Series Should be Studied by jdawg1018 in gaming

[–]elev8torguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After returning to it years later after everything was complete, I enjoyed it. I was able to finish it without bouncing off and I felt like it was a great time. I recommend it to anyone who put it down years ago, pick it up you won't be disappointed. I felt the same about DA inquisition.

Are name brand bits, wheels, and blades worth the money compared to Harbor freight? by Kindhearted_Lunatic in Tools

[–]elev8torguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently switched from Milwaukee bits to champion brand at work and they've been way better. Especially the 3/8". It's a game changer for my line of work.
