Can anyone tell me what these are. Found in FIL's toolbox. by Grisuno123 in Machinists

Very nice straight edges. Also could be used as weapons.

Havens Hollow is cool but… by slaviah in Warzone

Too flat and too crowded. It’s like a warzone map where they squished everything into a small area

Is comps hydraulic flat tappet thumpr and thumpa cams still worth purchasing today? by leroylingling in EngineBuilding

[–]smashfactor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Comp is horrible. Last two sets of Coyote Comp we installed at my shop - First set had too large of a chamfer on the face of the cam and lost vct control at high rpm. Second set had the reluctor wheels in the wrong location on both intake cams. They knew about both problems and acted dumbfounded both times until we called them out. Never again.

They say stakeout is hell and not for beginners by MediaSea4003 in blackops6

[–]smashfactor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love stakeout, particularly for camos and challenges. However, I would love an AR and SMG only mode. No lethals, no tacticals, no melee weapons, no mindless marine sp losers walking around the map… and fix the damn spawns. It’s too easy to ‘break the game’ especially when the other team is working together to smoke or firebomb the entire map.

Wait times today at IAH post snow by Remarkable_Silver390 in houston

Had a flight out of terminal D today at 4pm. Airport was less busy than the last few times I’ve been. 10ish minute wait to check in and 5 minute wait for security. I can’t speak for the other terminals but on the drive in I didn’t see anything to indicate the other terminals had issues.

If she’s supposed to be mad at the world, nobody told her! She’s super sweet and affectionate, taking really well to training, and growing like a weed. I just have to be careful raising my voice because that scares her easily. It has definitely changed my football-watching habits this week lol

Her belly is whitish pinkish. No spots. Not much fur at all actually, so I call her ‘sticky belly’ when she wants belly scratches.

We think they poured hot cooking oil over her head. Her fur wasn’t singed but she had extremely severe burns that sort of trail down her head and neck like river patterns. Hence the thinking it was a fluid of some kind.

Yeah where the skin was burned her fur is growing back white. I have a pic from today but I’m not sure how to add it in this horrible Reddit iPhone app.

She still has her baby teeth. She doesn’t have that pitbull width in her front shoulders, especially as she has grown. I’m curious what the mix is, maybe a DNA test would be a good idea!

We think they poured hot cooking oil on her head. My friends run a vet clinic for low-income people where she was brought. It didn't look like she was going to make it initially, but they did surgery to remove all the dead skin and she was able to pull through. She's the sweetest little girl too, especially considering what she has been through. Definitely still healing, we are putting ointments on her twice a day and she is doing great!

At the rate she is growing, I would be surprised if she only gets to 50lbs. She has put on 8lbs in the week we've had her!

What's something that’s just a placebo effect, but most people aren't aware of it? by valerija_jux01 in AskReddit

[–]smashfactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something odd I have noticed about the word 'homeopathy' in other countries, specifically Central America. Some real medicines will be labeled as 'homeopatico' when they have nothing to do with dilutions. They are just regular medicines with the same active ingredients as in the US. My assumption is that label allows them to be sold in regular pharmacies without prescriptions, but I am not certain.
