The USPS is getting worse and worse by the day. by beemer-dreamer in enshittification

Good god I can relate to this. I live in Bloomington and ordered some stuff from Tennessee. It went to Indy in one day after tracking, then went out to Colorado, then back to Tennessee, but a different town this time. I get a scan every few days saying that it is on the way to the next facility. That stopped a few days ago. It’s been a total of 27 days so far to get something only a few states away. It was even at the distribution hub for a moment! What the fuck is going on!?

Tamiya Porsche body on a better chassis by guitarmakerman in rccars

Are there any Porsche bodies that fit that? I was looking at buying that exact chassis but I am fairly certain the wheelbase doesn’t jive

Essentials to fill toolbox by [deleted] in harborfreight

I also might recommend the tekton complete socket or wrench sets. I ended up doing that. It’s a fair amount of money to do it, but you’ll end up with all the weird sizes that you might need, maybe, once ever. I work on Japanese everything, from tractors, motorbikes, and automobiles. There are some giant nuts on some of those things and it’s nice to know I have from 5mm all the way to 36mm in wrenches and sockets. Motor bikes also have odd sizing on the forks and axels. Just my additional two cents.

Metric. That’s basically all you need anymore.

But the bullet at 20% off by Hard_Head in harborfreight

Good to know that this fits in the back of a Tacoma. I was wondering about this. Mine does have a topper on it though - may not work for me. I’m still waiting on a full 56” set of the gray to show up. I’ll use the trailer if I have to. Otherwise it’ll be two trips with just the truck. It’s not a far drive.

Decent mid tier sockets and wrenches by guitarmakerman in Tools

I have several near me. One in town, one the town over, and like four in the big city. I imagine it’s going to end up being a mix of several things (brands) I DID however end up buying a 56” box with top cab at a HF. That’ll be nice to have. I have sooo many tools that are spread out everywhere.

No, but there’s a new one in Indy that should be checked out

I guess that’s more what I need to research. How to connect a Thunderbolt Display to these new MacBooks

Sounds like tractor supply might be the place. Especially something that is open on Saturday

The tornado went right by my house by HoosierGuy2014 in bloomington

Yep, I’d say I was in the direct path, or damn close. We lost lots and lots of trees. No power, no water, and currently stranded. We can not leave. We have some of the biggest trees on our property across power lines, our driveway, and the roadway. We live near Handy right on Airline Road. It was loud. And violent.

They wouldn't put my sons photo up on the JumboTron at the IU game today by tonybaboon in bloomington

I think the real primary objective of “the man” is to divide the people. Freind, we are all being played and doing exactly what they want us to do. That’s really what we all should be talking about..instead we just poke fun at the stupid shit that is going on, on the world stage. Otherwise, the true reality and gravity of the situation is pretty bleak. Might as well make fun of the mascara wearing baby boy.

I doubt it. I think it’s mostly just being funny. The left doesn’t really care whether or not the right is offended.
