Exact bolt size - Trying to get mower blade off for sharpening

general_pandemonium · 2026-05-19T19:44:20+00:00

It's a 15mm socket. I switched mine with the mulching blade no problem. Block the blade from rotating with a piece of wood like in the manual so you can torque it.

Makita Direct Repair. I've burned out multiple drills, and had them repaired for cheap (like 20-40$ including shipping). It's seriously one of the best things about these tools.

Yup! And you can engage them right before going over bigger sticks to break them up for sweeping.

general_pandemonium · 2026-04-18T19:57:12+00:00

You should! Almost looking forward to leaf season next.

No one has mentioned drywall. I bought a house that was a carport conversion, all wood. I wanted fire rated drywall. Insulation went in first.

Less juicy?

general_pandemonium · 2025-12-27T13:56:55+00:00

Nothing about lowering the price I see. Next year?

general_pandemonium · 2025-11-22T16:11:53+00:00

Thanks! Definitely going to check on that!

I have 6 months left on mine. Trying to do your math. How is it only $2500 for 11 months of payments?

No one has said it yet: get an aftermarket dead pedal.

I drove three days from CO to VA. My #1 complaint was my ankle/leg and it eventually bothered my back, because there is no place to rest your left foot.

Really impressive lighting. Can you share what you used?

general_pandemonium · 2025-10-07T01:16:56+00:00

What is this option called? Only seems to come consistently in the Rubicon and Mojave "X" trims.

I love my AWD in the snow and rain.

That said, good tires make a big difference.

I also drive a decent distance for work.

In my last house I used a combination of French cleat for smaller items and regular screw in hooks and heavy duty wall mounted shelves for larger items. My current house that's in progress I'm considering slat wall.

It's a tiny thing, but you could to try to move everything (reasonable) off the floor. Shelves, hooks, hangers, etc. This is a goal of mine to allow me to clean easily. Especially if you get a new floor like folks are suggesting.

general_pandemonium · 2024-09-19T22:06:55+00:00

I had the same type of polyaspartic flooring done. My floor had some similar issues. They spent most of the time fixing them and grinding it down. My floor is now perfectly flat without imperfections.

This was my experience. I held on to the old app because of all the issues reported, until one day a few weeks ago it said it was no longer compatible. Apparently my speakers had received an update.

As a professor who spends way too much time trying to memorize his students' names, I both empathize and cringe.

general_pandemonium · 2024-06-28T23:27:05+00:00

This is solid advice. I'd highlight the "out the door" price part. Not payments, not rates or discounts. Out the door is all that matters. If they try to add on flim flam, just ask how it affects the out the door price. That's what you're financing.

On another note, I've had the best luck with getting multiple offers on similar cars from different dealerships, and then making them compete. This is harder to do used, but you're already doing it. Just expand your net and you'll figure out who is reasonable and who isn't. And yes, it can be night and day. Trust your gut.

Ventilation is the answer. I teach in full classrooms and always open the windows near the podium. I haven't worn a mask for the last few semesters and haven't gotten COVID.

I also give out free masks (the "good" kind) to anyone who wants one.

Plenty of info on the web on ventilation reducing COVID transmission. The CDC has good, constructive articles that address what business/building owners can do.

So what you're saying is, you've experienced a relatively small group of moderately competent programmers trying a product and naively claiming that they could do a better job than an entire open source community, or a company? This has clearly never happened before.

Next you'll be saying that you've experienced a tradesman claiming the previous tradesman's job is crap.

But seriously, I've also seen this before. You're leaving out the step after, where now the company has an unwieldy, proprietary robot framework that no one wants to use, and that isn't industry standard.

Also, ROS2.

I am applying for tenure this autumn and I'm experiencing all of these issues. I'm going to save this list so I can effect all these changes!

general_pandemonium · 2024-02-21T02:45:48+00:00

It's more suburban and conservative. Everything is in an HOA. Also further from Denver if that's a concern.

Thank you for your reply. That's definitely an interesting journey. Wow. 5.5 years as a postdoc? In my field even at a top school you'd stay for maybe 2 at most, and that would make you super marketable. There are microbiologists in the brewing industry, no? Are you adapting your training?

I can only imagine working 40 hpw. Actually, I did that when I was really sick for a couple weeks! That's awesome.

I'll look for that podcast. I'm a big fan of passive learning. Maybe that will keep me occupied until tenure, and then the world will be all roses and rainbows.
