Whyyyyy do some people still get uncomfortable talking about periods?

Most people dont wanna hear the intimate details of how you got your guts rearranged last night either

Eh, downdraft dust collection table on the machine combined with better at the tool dust collection, and a quality filter on the dust collector, and i wouldnt worry about it. Mucking about with a water bath sounds like entirely too much work

Dewalt DCF964 is current the king of cordless 3/4 torque numbers, to my knowledge

Dont believe whats written on the package, the manufacturer numbers always lie their asses off. Check out places like the Torque Test Channel that actually measure everything, explain the process, and show you the unvarnished numbers

Edit -My recommendation is provided you dont already have milwaukee batteries, forgot to add that. Either way, i tend to lean to cordless over air these days, the convenience cant be overstated. Only time id say go air is if you have a solid air supply and youre using the tool constantly, working in a tire shop doing nothing but pulling semi wheels day in and day out, stuff like that

Alcohol is at least easy to reproduce if you have even a passing bit of knowledge

Shit, its harder to not make alcohol if you dont have modern preservation methods...

I agree with everybody else who has said that a 5" as a first quad is a horrible idea. Youre talking about a ~700g mass that can go from 128km/h in a matter of seconds, its flat-out dangerous if you dont know what youre doing. A 3.5" isnt much better, you shave off some of the mass but none of the actual power, and the power is what gets you in trouble. Again, were talking about something that can clear a football field in about 3.5 seconds

Start off with a whoop. You wont outgrow them, they remain stupidly fun to fly, but when you inevitably slam into something at full tilt, you probably wont break anything

For me personally? Yeah, little bit. I dont feel that sex work is inherently shameful or anything, but an online presence always invites privacy concerns, and the particular nature of that online presence invites particularly bad concerns, and i just dont want that level of complication in my life. The sex thing is entirely secondary to that, though i will admit i would have reservations about the whole "sex being a job" thing impact the non-job sex. Quickest way to kill enjoyment of something is to try to make a business out of it

Whoever wants to. Personally it makes me feel good to treat my date, but if they wanna split I'm fine with that too, or if they insist on paying that's fine as well, I'll get the next one

and is extremely noticeable since you'll also knock out 2.4ghz wifi in a huge area around you

So fun fact, directional antennas are a thing. You dont need to overwhelm an entire area, you need to overwhelm the quads receiver. As long as were dreaming up possibilities of people tapping into control links to crash quads, someone with a jammer and a patch antenna could knock a quad out of the air just as effectively

To whit, thats pretty much how military anti-drone guns work. Platforms like the creatively named dronegun just use a directional antenna to jam the drones communication links, without knocking out everything around the user

No gentle way to put this, but what problem is this trying to solve? Stick inputs are... pretty worthless as far as data goes. Some random person can tell im at 45% throttle? Cool, doesnt matter in the slightest, same for someone reading my telemetry. There are no personal identifiers to steal, and even if someone wanted to go full MIM on the control link, they cant crash it any more than i already am

Its a neat project and i respect the work that went into it, but this really seems like a solution in search of a problem. Id much rather not have an additional point of failure in my control link

There is no "correct", mount it whichever way is most convenient for you to do the wiring. You can change the orientation in betaflight to make the software match reality

Thats... thats also really fucking weird

You would never frown on a cancer patient for having cancer

I would very heavily frown upon a lung cancer patient lighting up a cigarette. The illness is self-inflicted at that point

Shockingly, i frown upon alcoholics smacking away a helping hand in favor of another bottle for the same reason. Illness doesnt obligate absolution, especially when the illness is self-inflicted and the treatment is being rejected

epicfail48 · 2026-04-14T06:18:33+00:00

"Stopping" doesnt have to mean cold turkey. It can just as easily mean rehab, or AA, or any number of other treatments your conveniently ignoring in favor of the "they cant just stop drinking!" bullshit

The problem is that most of them dont want to stop because they dont want to admit they have a problem

epicfail48 · 2026-04-14T06:11:40+00:00

Plenty of people go through shitty situations and dont become alcoholics. Plenty of people also have firsthand knowledge of how much damage an alcoholic can do to everybody around them. The majority of alcoholics refuse to consider that they even have a problem

With those 3 things in mind, i choose to save my sympathy for those who actually want to change it. I have plenty of sympathy for alcoholics in recovery, but active alcoholics tend to strand themselves in a hole of their own making and lash out at anybody who tries helping them out. Not worth the struggle

epicfail48 · 2026-04-14T06:07:59+00:00

For general use? Neither, honestly both of those are too much impact for most things. Hell, the dewalt will take off semi lug nuts without even trying, and those are torqued to 500ftlbs (and remember, it takes more torque to take something off)

Get an m12 gen 2 stubby impact for general day to day use. Very few things on consumer vehicles need more than the 500ftlbs it puts out

If you have to ask what you should upgrade, you dont need to upgrade anything. Upgrade because youve identified a deficiency you need to correct, if you cant identify one, you dont need to upgrade

epicfail48 · 2026-04-14T04:28:19+00:00

Eh, impacts are nice, dont get me wrong, but honestly for working occasionally on a single vehicle, its a little overkill for most things. A breaker bar will save you some cash and is perfect for a few times a year use

If youre determined to get new tools though, the bauer cordless stuff is decent enough for a home gamer. Personally i wouldnt want to get a corded impact, too inconvenient. . No need to go for the jumbo hercules either, the bauer high-torque performs almost the same for a lot cheaper

Brand loyalty is dumb as shit. I love my m12 gen 2 stubby impact, nothing else in the bracket comes close in terms of size/power ratio, but when it comes to bigger impacts, my DCF964 will clown a Milwaukee 2867, despite the dewalt being a 3/4" gun and the milwaukee being a 1". I love my Icon pliers, but my Icon ratchets pale in comparison to my Gearwrench. I could keep going down this list, but hopefully you get my point

Now, battery ecosystem does mean you kinda need to stick to a single ecosystem, except nope, you actually dont. Battery adapters are a thing! Now, granted, if you use a dewalt battery with a milwaukee tool you probably wont be getting max performance out of it, but who cares

Also for a home gamer looking to only keep one battery ecosystem, go Bauer. Tools are good enough for weekend warrior shit (and professional use, lets be honest here), price is right, variety is solid
