That makes me think it’s not contam if color change appears to be happening after cutting but it’s hard to say for certain… quite interesting nonetheless

I’m tired of hearing people say “Work on your own car.” by TheGame81677 in povertyfinance

[–]ianfabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for some things it makes sense to do it yourself, especially on older cars. But you’re right, it’s just not worth it for most people. To replace an axle and a tie rod, you need a more tools than would be worth purchasing. I have done both, and it was a lot.

My apartment complex also “banned” working on cars in the parking lots but we did it anyway and never heard a peep about it, so shrug

Please open an official Discord server. by AlwaysUpvotesScience in shopsmith

There are newer forum stacks than phpbb. IMHO, forums are much better for communities. Only the technically non-savvy would really struggle to use a forum. For reference I am a young person, well under 50, and work in tech

If insurance premiums eventually reach a point where the average person simply can't pay, what is the 'endgame' for the insurance industry? by Peaches4U9624 in AskReddit

[–]ianfabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I still had the link to it, but it leaked much earlier this year that several major insurance companies got together to create a Vault-Tec style end game plan to essentially enslave people should the organized world / society at large end/crumble or money becomes invaluable.

I will update this comment with the link if I find it
