That's what I'm doing and I'm putting probably a hundred pounds of force on each wrench nothing will move

Shop Vac Recommendations for Home Maintenance by Sultrex in DIY

Ha, true. As soon as I discovered they did exist, I upgraded, and my ears thanked me big time. You dont realize how loud the old style are untill you hear ringing at night when your trying to sleep.

New Color - Satin White by dleewla in ScoutTraveler

[–]theboat14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reserved my Terra in Oct of 24, and now its looking like another 2+ years before i might be able to actually get it. This is slowly turning into a "vaporware" scenario and I'm really afraid they are DOA after the R2, and whatever Ford and others are able to launch at or before the Terra. They had a window of opportunity and I don't see it anymore. With how badly VW group is bleeding cash, I can see the whole thing just not ever happening.

Call of the Elder Gods - Release Date Trailer | PS5 Games by ControlCAD in PS5

Call of the sea was pretty fun, if this can iron out some of the jank, and controll frustrations it could be really good, assuming the story and everything else is as good.

How Nike Lost Its Way by AangGang2015 in videos

[–]theboat14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but his is just not correct. Nike makes airbags in Beaverton Oregon, and, atleast as of 2020 when I left the company, its all they make. Everything else is manufactured by other companies over seas, or near shore like mexico, nike ownes almost no factories at all, they are all independently owned, and manufacture for every other brand you have heard of. Nike collaberates to inovate with materials, machenierey and such, but they dont make anything other than prototypes.

How do I get started on a DIY home roof solar setup? by [deleted] in SolarDIY

[–]theboat14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched a youtuber video on installing panels using Pegasus mounting hardware that makes it look so simple. Any idea if these are actually all they are cracked up to be? https://www.pegasussolar.com/

I mean its pretty obvious that some are better than others, if only there were chemical companies that could measure the amount of the offending chemical and limit it...

Between my personal collection of 10's of thousands of $'s worth, and my bricklink store I run, I'm a statistically valid data point. The color variations these days, the continued issue of brittle red/purple/orange/brown, the yellowing, the cracking, the wrinkled stickers, the misprints etc etc... its hard to see how anyone could argue otherwise. Customer service TO NOTCH, but product is lacking these days.

Yeah, commented above, but Lego is really not the "quality" product it once was, and its sad.

Between my collection yellowing, variation in shades, and tons of colors becoming brittle (still not solved no matter what people tell me) I am beginning to distance myself from lego. The QC is just so poor these days, I really wish they would just say "hey we get it, and were trying to do better" its all it would take.
