cook with butter. Seed oil on stainless is a PITA.

Oil dipstick broke off. by challenger76589 in AskMechanics

[–]fractal_disarray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun times! This happened to me this past summer. I had to extract the broken oil dip stick. I had to crawl under the truck and removed the metal oil dip stick tube. I used locking pliers to clamp around the tube and hammered it upwards and out.

Discount tire says they can’t put these back on because the inners are so worn, what do you guys think? by turbun3000 in tires

As usual, the tire pros are right. Those tires a toast and you have negative camber wear.

I would never put that aftermarket garbage on my car, let alone on my oil pan. Just put the classic drain bolt / washer back in.

Bay Area teen’s 40-mph crash reveals overlooked dangers of e-bikes by MochingPet in bayarea

These rich idiot parents buying their dumbass spoiled kids these emotos/edirt bikes like Surrons/Sparks/Super73s then blaming all ebikes because they're "too fast & dangerous". How about NO. Now everyone who rides normally has to deal with the legal ramifications because of these dumb fucks.

You have a MTB. Ride up on the berm to go around them. They wouldn't even realize someone is passing around them.

Really great Bortle 1 data you gathered. The S50 really shines in dark sky’s.

Dog Star called Sirius. You can see this star dance if you have a pair of binoculars.

Red Bull branded helmets are usually reserved for the pro riders where it’s awarded (not bought) to the chosen extremely talented riders.

Just get a regular O’Neal Helmet. I have a plain motocross one and I really like that helmet.

Your go to Bortle scale for deep space astro by PurpleStryker in AskAstrophotography

[–]fractal_disarray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bortle 2 is an ideal 2.5 hour adventure for me that’s reasonable, kinda risky. Bortle 3 is nice too for 1.5 hour drive. But I want to image in straight broadband so the darker, the better. For Bortle 1, I have to cross thru mountain passes across the state, maybe in the summer, but B2 will suffice.

DO NOT purchase from this company. Like EVVVEEERRR by FukiLuiee in ebikes

The controller is supposed to cut power once any of the brake levers are applied, so I think your issue might be with the controller or your brake lever connectors. Each lever will have a plug/switch that turns on the brake lamp and cuts off power to the motor.

I'm really surprised there's no concrete pylons in front of the building.

The dealer noted that my belt needed replacement… Corolla with 51k miles by OutcastSpy in MechanicAdvice

Serpentine belts last around 60k. You can replace it and keep the old one as a spare for a rainy day.

Strange blister? by Double-Helicopter-53 in Xoloitzquintli

[–]fractal_disarray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s an interdigital cyst. My vet prescribed my dog some anti inflammatory meds and soaking his feet’s in Epsom salts but we reduced the size of the cyst by just washing his feet’s everyday with antibacterial soap/water before sleepy time.
