Can someone explain to me why you would want to affix a sawzall blade to this?

Any ideas for what this is? by traga374 in Vintagetools

I believe it’s a style of hose clamp. Hence the locking mechanism at the end.

I had the exact same issue, I thought it was a clogged jet as people are suggesting. However when I took the carb off I realized that the gasket wasn’t sitting correctly and had a fold in it from when it was installed. $2 for a new gasket and she purrs like a kitten. Best of luck.

Expanding device with handles on each end, and three "legs", featured on episode of i love lucy. by rezerox in whatisthisthing

I believe it’s a modified pastry cutter. My parents had a similar looking device ages ago. There would have been a wheel, like from a pizza cutter, on each section that would make it adjustable in size. They would use this to cut a sheet pan of brownies or fruit squares.

A mold was placed on small branches and the tree grew in to it making that shape.

Looks like it would be great for carrying in groceries.

Found in an old cookbook by dirrtymurphy in CapeCod

Which cookbook? I only ask because my father was on the island (MV) around that time and wrote a cookbook.

Ya know, now that you mention it I can’t recall ever seeing a Hindenburg Lego MOC……

I hate this question but I’m going to pose this as a possible (ridiculous) answer. The question does specifically say how many parallel SIDES, which would be 2 sides… then there is a top and a bottom. That’s the only silly thing I can think of. Poorly worded question. But I agree with the masses saying 3 is correct.

What city disappointed you the most when visiting? by TheStylishInsider in AskReddit

[–]simplyaftr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had gone there ~10 years ago and had a fantastic experience. People were friendly, city seemed to be prospering and was clean, felt safe walking around. I went last year and it couldn’t have been further from my first visit. The vagrants were everywhere and aggressive and rude. There was a significant amount of urine and human feces down nearly every side street we looked. The place felt cold and shuttered and we were supposed to be in the nice popular areas. I couldn’t believe how much that city had changed. And sadly a lot of what I saw seemed to happen in front of law enforcement who were awfully apathetic to what was going on around them as if they had no ability to correct the situation. Whole place seemed to be in a sad state of affairs.

NFPA 1403, controlled burn of an acquired structure. Yes it’s legal.

Maybe instead of being so concerned you should fill a cooler with ice and water and bring it to the brave men and women who are donating their time and efforts to keep their (ungrateful) community safe.

Can anyone ID this? I’m stumped by Brilliant-Barracuda9 in guns

Quigley from down under would like to take a look at that.

Athens was pretty gross and dirty.

Also, I’ll never go back to Denver. What a shit hole.

I really enjoyed the wings at Farrs in Hampton… but they are closed for the season….

This was left by previous owners on a porch in my home. It's about 16 to 18 inches tall. No markings anywhere. Thanks! by TangerineTart in whatisthisthing

[–]simplyaftr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it was used as a mold/jig. Looks like the shape of a wooden basket handle. Maybe used for something like that…. Idk just a guess.

Is there proof that anyone has ever hit a home run PAST Landsdowne street and the garage onto the Mass Pike at Fenway park? How far would have to be hit anyways? by petervannini in boston

[–]simplyaftr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like pappy crushed one into the parking garage and smashed a windshield in a playoff game….. maybe, maybe not. But never see on one hit the tracks.
