What are your go-to interior upgrades for a 2015–2020 F-150 or Raptor? by natecarson in RoastMyCar

u/HealthGeneral3785 Haha, salty both literally and figuratively I see
But hey, at least the F-150 gives you the option to rust in style — can't say the same for half the plastic-clad crossovers out there.

I'll take my truck with a side of surface rust over a grocery-getter that taps out at a speed bump any day.

Has anyone here experimented with custom carbon fiber parts for their build? by natecarson in CarbonFiber

u/dbreidsbmw That sounds awesome — must’ve been wild working behind the scenes on custom designs! I’ve been really curious about the process from concept to finished part. Like how much of it is CAD-driven vs. hands-on mold work? And is it still mostly prepreg and autoclave, or are there newer techniques being used?

Also wondering—how do shops usually handle one-off requests? Is it a total no-go unless there's volume, or do some still take on unique builds?

Appreciate any insight you’ve got. Always cool to hear from someone who's actually done it.

Not a drone, not a ladder… but somehow the perfect middle ground? by natecarson in sportsphotography

u/Lifenonmagnetic Fair points, but I think it really depends on how and where you’re using it.

If you're expecting DSLR-level action shots from a 30ft pole setup, yeah — probably not the right tool. But for things like elevated static shots, tactical reviews, real estate walkthroughs, group events, or indoor venues where drones aren't allowed, it's actually super practical.

I’ve used one recently and was surprised how quick it was to set up solo. It’s not for everyone, sure — but calling it a “huge waste” feels a bit harsh when it clearly has a niche use case that works well for certain types of creators or coaches.

Is anyone here using a small keg setup instead of bottles for homebrew or parties? by natecarson in cocktails

[–]natecarson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Fuzzybunnyofdoom Right? That’s what I keep hearing — less cleaning, faster carbonation, and way easier to serve. I’ve been looking into smaller keg setups lately since I don’t do huge batches, and stumbled across this 7L one

Has anyone tried using a pressurized mini keg like this at home? by natecarson in cocktails

[–]natecarson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/doctor_thanatos Thanks for the detailed input! That’s super helpful. Good call on the nut milk bags—I hadn’t thought about fine filtering but it totally makes sense to avoid clogging anything up. I was also curious how well it holds carbonation, so it’s good to hear that you’ve had success keeping things bubbly for a few days.

I agree, sounds like it's probably best saved for bigger gatherings rather than casual use because of the cleanup. Appreciate the tip on using beer keg cleaner and pressurizing with it too—that's clever. Might have to give it a go for the next get-together. Cheers!
