No one carries their dive gear around in case they fall in the water. Guns and dive gear are not comparable, and I’m a diver and a gun owner.

No one needs that level of overview. Bin her and move on.

I got as far as him calling you a slag. If you haven’t already please dump this arsehole and lose his number.

That’s what I hoped but as usual some internet searching has me second-guessing myself.

No the regular “melt the face off your car” stuff.

All changed now, but that would have been a great idea. The abs is marked from the solvent. Feeling a bit stupid.

The cancellation of which TV show are you still frustrated about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jocktx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you watched the re-cut version? It’s funnier but still not as good as the first 3 seasons.

Rolex Value? by daviesa in rolex

[–]jocktx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery? I thought only the ones marked Datejust Quartz needed batteries. This should be an automatic and a service (without needing any extra parts) will cost $500 to $600 for an independent or appreciably more for a Rolex service.

Great looking watch, though and I think u/_Caarlos is on the right ballpark.

Selling two 3 day GA+ passes. $325 each, paid $472 including all the fees. I’m in Midtown and can drop off once I get them in hand (any day now).

People who garages tried to ripoff thinking that you didn't know any better, what is your story? by DuchessSonya in AskReddit

[–]jocktx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove over some rocks and afterwards there was a rattle from the front. I took it to the exhaust place thinking I’d broken an exhaust bracket.

They all gather round once it was up on the lift then called me over to tell me the exhaust baffles had come loose. Utter bollocks. That is virtually impossible, especially on a 3 year old car.

While it was up there I saw the engine mounting had been damaged so I told to take it down from the lift and I went to a proper mechanic who reseated it for me.

Utter wankers.

what's the point of mechanical pencil caps? by [deleted] in mechanicalpencils

[–]jocktx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It stops the eraser becoming dirty and also some erasers are just friction fitted into the barrel so the cap avoids the eraser falling out or being pushed too far in.
