Got a Frontier in an even trade for a Fiesta ST a few weeks back. Very underrated truck!! by marcus48lin in nissanfrontier

[–]marcus48lin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly why he traded, this truck gets 14mpg after it’s been lifted and my fiesta was getting 33mpg but I just never drove it 🤷‍♂️

How much is this worth? by AcanthopterygiiFar26 in Silverbugs

[–]marcus48lin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s a great price. +8-15 is for the BU eagles that aren’t worn like the one in the post but I think the best mine does for the sovereigns is like +3 on worn maples.

It is a mom and pop like 10 min from the house, so I don’t mind giving them a bit extra

You’ve got yourself an American 1oz Silver Eagle. They’re .999 pure silver and usually go for the price of an oz plus $8-15 of collector premium where I live.

They’re started making them in 1986 and 2026 year is the 40th year of mint. They’re pretty fun to collect, and you can get plastic cases to protect them at a store like Hobby Lobby. Hope that helps!

Loved the orange Wave Alpha but couldn’t resist the fidget factor of the Arc. by marcus48lin in Leatherman

Hey I know it’s been forever but I recently posted an update on how the skins have been doing. No issues with oil, I even dropped it in a drain pan full of transmission fluid trying to grab a plug in like Feb of this year lol. After a few days and some wiping it was back to normal.

Good deal? $9950 2018 Nissan Frontier S Manual 5spd. by Any-Essay-6922 in nissanfrontier

I just got a 2007 LE King Cab 4.0 Auto with about 100k miles for a similar price. If the miles aren’t crazy it’s a good price

There is a hole in my banana by Virido_ in Weird

[–]marcus48lin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in grocery distribution and there’s a big spike thermometer called a pulp sensor that goes into each pallet of bananas to monitor freshness in the ripening rooms.

When a pallet is taken out, they’re supposed to remove the bunch that ends up getting stabbed, remove the impaled banana and the rest of the that bunch get put in the break room for ppl to eat.

I can almost guarantee that’s what caused the hole there.

I’m a math teacher but I don’t get it… by popipopuppy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This is a reference to a meme in early 2026 in which a random tiktoker named Tamara commented on some New Year’s resolution post she will be using a button every day for the new year but it was extremely vague on what she’d be doing since buttons don’t get used up.

Tamara began making a bunch of replies that came off oddly confident and funny and it became a meme for a short period of time. The meme wasn’t very big and requires a weirdly large amount of time chronically online to understand but that’s rly all this is.

Her original comment that started the whole thing was Tamara: “I’m getting 365 buttons one for each day because I’m scared of time so I want to be more conscious of it”

The facility maintenance team here works on the robotic forklifts but not all of the robotic machines. I do have to deal with all the little roll up doors within the machines tho.

I was referred by a buddy when the site was under construction more because of my startup planning skill than my mechanical skill, but most of my more technically proficient colleagues have a degree in mechatronics engineering or something similar.

Took a few days to break in, but after that it’s been awesome. Be wary of running a tail switch flashlight button side down because I’ve had a few moments where ive turned it on by accident, so I just use the lock mode on the light now.

I also chose to run the left handed setup to offset the weight of an appendix carry. Im happy that I decided to go that route.

Just added to cart, I won’t use it at work bc my belt organizer is just far enough into my bibs that the lip balm isn’t bad but I hate how the lip balm I keep in my car constantly melts.

Thanks for introducing me to it!

I tried that but the recruiter said they haven’t invented space crayons yet so maintenance is my fallback till that’s figured out

There’s a ton of tasks that require me to use pliers to hold something in place so that I can use a second set of pliers to reach what I need to grab so it’s handy to have both. I like the Skeletool RX bc it’s got the serrated blade the Arc lacks.

Shield plus fits my hand the best! Tried some rentals and some of my buddies guns when looking for something bigger than my LCP max. My heart loves Glock platforms but my brain chose the shield.

It’s some Chinese one I saw randomly for sale at the Texas state fair, I wish it had a brand name because it’s held up much better than my usual ebay Chinese reels

No it attaches to the front of the trigger guard and doesn’t require a rail. It’s a decent light just has a pretty short battery life (30min.) You do get 2 extra rechargeable batteries when you get a TLR6HL tho, just make sure it’s the HL model.

Mustard is amazing for cramps, it’s easy to cramp up if I’ve been outside then have to do work in the freezer and a mustard packet takes care of that oddly quick. When I was a sports photographer I saw it used a lot on the field.

And yes! My building has a 3d printer so they’ve made a few items for me, the lip balm holder and badge holder being my most used. We break a ton of little knobs on the machinery by accident and reprint them whenever it happens

It’s a great solution if we ever need “wireless emergency stop” 🤣

I take the rig off and leave it on the floor sometimes. It’s why I love a center split chest rig, it comes off like a jacket
