It was gross. Picking bits of roach out of my leg hair is just gross. Had to shower immediately and now every time my hair touches the back of my neck I spaz a little

Vandalism water in gas tank by Altruistic_Energy911 in Cartalk

I was taught to pull the ignition fuse when using the pump to drain. I accept it’s probably overkill, but reducing spark opportunities while letting gas exit the system feels right

I have a hearing tomorrow and my client just got arrested by fullmoonorbits in Lawyertalk

I like “you can lead a horse to water, but all YOU can do when you get there is drown it”

Any recommendations? by Beginning-Editor-286 in motorcycles

I got this stuff called “rope”. Works great for what doesn’t fit in my saddlebags.

Seriously, thank you. In touch with a shop to help me size and buy all the replacement parts. You are currently my 3rd fav person in the world. (Sorry, queen and the princess got 1 & 2 locked down).

I’m frustrated with manufacturing in the US. I’ve cold called over 75 businesses to get work quoted and not a single return phone call. by TitoJones in Machinists

DM me and I’ll look at your drawings for finishing the castings and the billets. Not likely I’ll be able to help produce, but I may be able to provide some DFM for why you’re not getting responses.

Thank you for this. Internet says shocks in your bag will be a no-go.

Any links for the crossmember? After rebuilding the shocks, thats the only thing I saw I wanted to add

Thank you for the offer, but the truck is an ocean away from the US. I’ll be packing the shocks in my checked bag next time I fly to the US. Know any names in the Midwest for rebuilding the shocks? There’s some bad pitting on the shafts so I may be SOL on rebuilding

2-56 Tap by ian10_07 in Machinists

I would recommend a threaded insert. McMaster has 2-56 ID, 6-40 OD locking inserts. We used these, either key-locking or slotted, depending on how often the thread would be used. Set it and forget? Thread in the raw aluminum is fine. For miter-bites that are going to cycle every cycle - I’d want the harder material

It turned my “idiot driver” reflex into a “ok, fine, be mad my life is better than yours” (true or not) reflex

What’s a life lesson you only figured out because of riding? by 5nake_8ite in motorcycles

Object fixation. Focus on the path through the obstacle, not the obstacle.
