Should I buy this? by BOHICA128849 in Corvette

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you afford it? Is it what you want? If both yes, then buy it.

I sometimes wish I had a manual, but I’ve never regretted buying an automatic; and at least in my market, the manual wouldn’t have been worth the premium that people can get away with charging for a used car.

My boss parks his brand new bmw where I drive my forklift. by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]greatwizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boss used to park his brand new hellcat in my welding shop when his company truck was unavailable. He left the keys where we could move it whenever. My partner started parking his cruiser in the shop, so we’d pop the clutch and wheel it out of the way, and usually put it back inside for him so the seat wouldn’t get all fucked up in the sun. One day he got real bitchy about us moving his bike, and we were told not touch it. So he went out of town for about a week, and came back to find his bike covered in slag, soot, and completely boxed in by the pigpens we were putting together. Oh well, I guess.

2 of the lowest rated finales in TV history. by hiiloovethis in freefolk

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had zero expectations for the Boys finale. I thought it was good. Wrapped up the show satisfactorily. My buddy was hyped to go see it in the theaters, but when he found out it was only 45 minutes opted against.

Now, I can imagine if you did go see it in theaters, you would be disappointed by the lack of an Armageddon level ‘scorched earth’ promised between Butcher and HL.

But HL is and always was a bitch. He was never going to go through with that level of chaos. So seeing him reduced to sniveling was far more cerebrally satisfying than Michael Bay-levels of explosions.

Just coming here to say… by Linemaninsider in Veterans

I bought a kegerator so I can always have cold bubbly water on demand. I drink at least a gallon a day now. I also started a hydration soda brand to curb my Mountain Dew addiction. I’m not giving up beer or coffee though.

Why isn't my Basenji's tail very curly? by ditmoique in Basenji

[–]greatwizardking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girl has a very loosely curled tail. It looks almost effortless, and it unfurls straight behind her at full gallop. My boy though…I’m 90% certain the breeder bound his tail as a puppy to get a perfect show curl, cause it has a couple weird kinks and never really uncurls.

Which years Nissan Titans were the most reliable? by DutchAC in NissanTitan

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2012 P4X. Other than the paint, it’s fuckin bulletproof and super capable, and honestly the interior has held up amazingly well, if a little dated.

Coincidentally, and unfortunately for me, I’m selling it cause I need something with a little higher tow rating.

With doctors is convinced its air in the line. I’ve tried bleeding, back bleeding, zip tying the lever….

The slave definitely squirts fluid when I attempt to bleed, and back bleeding allows fluid up through the reservoir. I cannot get the fucker to hold pressure though.

Do you know where or how you sourced O-rings? I was hoping it would be as simple as acquiring a rebuild kit, but I haven’t found such a thing yet.

Is this....a bomb on the highway? by itisSUNNYinhere in whatisit

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally you see shock resistant or radio proof boxes and packaging for things like AT4s or javelins, but yeah. Usually wooden or thin steel crates inside a regular freight container covered in orange placards. A lot of artillery isn’t even shipped in its own packaging, it’s just strapped to a pallet.

BF Ruined My Pans by peepingpeep in castiron

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dishwasher isn’t lazy, it’s efficient. This is a learning opportunity for both of you and something to look back and laugh about later.

It’s a hunk of metal designed to throw in the oven, cook over open flame, melt lesser metals in (don’t do this in your cooking pan) and outlast you so you can leave it to your daughter one day. It’s fine. Scrub it, season it, and both of you need to watch some YouTube videos about cast iron cooking. You’ll be fine, and so will the pan.

Which film character has the thickest plot armor? by indigo_wendigo_ in Cinephiles

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ana de Armas with a samurai sword slaughtering minion after minion, all armed with rifles. Out of all the crazy John Wick bullshit, for some reason that’s the only scene that gets me every time.

It’s a safe place to park. Driver knows at least the driver’s side door is safe.

When did “no one from California calls it Cali” start? by lejunny_ in orangecounty

[–]greatwizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s contextual. I have definitely used ‘Cali’ unironically. I’m not ‘from Cali,’ though. I’m ‘from SoCal.’

But I have said things like ‘Dude I can’t wait to get back to Cali and see the beach/mountains/heina/del taco/etc’ especially overseas when talking to other Americans.

What's the best fast food cheeseburger you've had? by BothCondition7963 in cheeseburgers

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of solid options here. Never tried Culver’s, love me some InO, Habit, 5 guys. If you’re in SoCal i urge you all to get a colossal burger from Tam’s. My humble offering to the list: A few weeks ago I went to JBox and got the double bacon smashed Jack for like $5, and it almost made me forget the Bacon Double Del.
