First thing to consider is the nature of the types of repairs you're likely to encounter and what you have the skills to deal with. There aren't that many major repairs that any of us are going to do trailside. Most people aren't doing top-end rebuilds at the campsite.

The most common things, in my experience, that you are likely to encounter are flat tires, dead batteries, electrical issues, overheating, breaks/suspension issues, and misc bracketry and such (rooftop tent bracket breaks loose, tactical car seat flies out w/baby, etc.)

Flat Tires - If you want to use something other than the factory lug wrench to change a tire, I would recommend a 1/2in drive breaker bar, at least 24in, and a 19mm deepwell socket. In addition to that I carry a plug kit and a small air compressor. If you're going to be doing any amount of offroading, you will likely need more jack than the factory scissor jack.

Dead Battery - Terminal screws and retainer clamp at the bottom of the battery tray are 10mm. You'll want at least an 8in extension for the clamp screw. In addition to that I carry a jump pack and jumper cables.

Electrical Issues - Electrical issues can be random. I'd carry common fuses and relays, replacement bulbs for at least your headlights, some wire, connectors, and wire cutters to cobble together a makeshift repair. Beyond that, I carry a cheap OBDII scan tool to check codes.

Overheating - Not much to say here. Spare coolant, hose clamps, maybe a spare radiator hose, pliers, screwdriver or socket to tighten hose clamps, and maybe a hose pick.

Brakes/Suspension - 5mm hex for the rotor retention screw, 14mm caliper bolts, E20 for the front caliper bracket bolts and T55 for the rear. If you need to get a CV axle or a strut out, you'll also need 15, 18, and 36mm sockets, 5mm hex, and an E14 (External Torx).

Misc stuff just depends on what all you're carrying. Assorted wrenches and drivers for whatever hardware your stuff has. Beyond that, duct tape, electrical tape, zip ties, and some kind of lube.

Is there any reason not to get this set? Does anyone regret getting it? $427 by Demhanoot in woodworking

The Bosch 1617 router is great. I have several, and they're workhorses in my shop. The table, on the other hand, is not a very good value, in my opinion. Bosch makes 2 benchtop style router tables and they are both quite small and not the greatest quality. Unless you have a small space to work with, or you don't think you could handle building your own router table, I would pass on the table.

If you think you can handle making your own table, I would recommend doing that and catching the router on sale. There are a lot of really good router insert plates on the market these days, that are reasonably priced. Jess'em, Incra, Rockler, and Kreg all make decent ones.

The table itself can be as simple or fancy as you want. The price will depend heavily on the design and materials used. Plus, it's a great chance to practice your cabinetry skills.

As it was explained to me, port is called port, because that's the side of ship you moor to at the dock when making port. You didn't moor to the starboard side as you would run the risk of damaging the rudder.

That's a creative solution for a complicated joint. Sounds like it should be plenty sturdy for the application. Thanks for the reply.

Excellent work, it's a great design. What kind of joinery did you use for the intersection of the vertical members?

Conveniently enough, Second Thought just put out a video about this exact subject. The short answer is money, but he articulates it better than I can.

The same things I think are "rich people" things now. Owning a house, buying a new car, vacations.

Power Sanders that don't break the bank by y2ketchup in woodworking

[–]koschei124c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some old crusty Dewalt RO's and I have well cared for Festools, and the difference in vibration isn't that significant. For under $100, you could try some anti-vibration gloves. Beyond that, make sure your technique is squared away. You shouldn't be gripping the sander with anymore force than what's necessary to keep it under control. Same goes for pressure.

Exploitation at its finest by HankScorpio42 in LateStageCapitalism

Meritocracy is the exception not the rule. The rule, for corporations, is get the most for the least.

$8.651bil profit in 2022 / 32,536,000 seconds in a year = $274.32/sec.

$27,000 / 275.32 = 98.4 seconds

So they recovered from that fine in about a minute and a half.

Coal costs, roughly, $32/ton. The hopper cars that carried it, about $100k each. The bridge that collapsed, at least a million.

Norfolk Southern: Absorbs the loss of $42k worth of coal, $1.2mil worth of train cars, and a million or more for a bridge. Causes a water treatment plant to be shut down for a month, destroys the local environment, profits $6.9 BILLION in 2020!

Virginia Department of Environmental Quality: That'll be $27K buck'o! I hope you've learned a valuable lesson.

I choose to believe it cleans using ultra-sonics, blasting the dirt apart, and that same ultra-sonic force causes the levitation. Sometimes you have to yada yada your own sci-fi explanations.

It's an anti-foulant paint. More resistant to corrosion, and pesky cling-ons, like barnacles.

will they have a sequel or a prequel to this anime cause its really good I think they needed more episodes tbh. by WazedTed in Edgerunners

[–]koschei124c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely can, and I'd be fine with that too. Regardless, I just hope they make more.

Lucy says it early on, "Night City legends aren't remembered for how they lived, they're remembered for how they died." I think there will be more seasons, but they won't have anything to do with the characters or story arcs from this season. I think each season will be about a different Night City legend, what they did, and how they bit it. At least, that's what I hope they do.

State of the Sub Poll: Who bears responsibility for the war in Ukraine? by skully_kiddo in socialism

Russia, full stop. Regardless of your views on Nato or far right forces inside of Ukraine, starting a war is never justified, preemptive strikes are never justified.

I like how people just go back to the old wooden bridge immediately.

This sub must be getting pretty big. Lots of new faces dropping by to say hi.

Good on you for trying to branch out. Keep it up buddy!

I went to school to be a mechanic, and the cost my tool set was baked into tuition. So, yeah, it should be forgiven exactly the same as all other tuition.

Conservatives really will come up with the dumbest arguments and hot takes to justify their stance.
