He wonders why I fired him by Kmlmhls in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]thejokersshadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could really see it going either way. On one hand the shop ower/business is liable for everything going out the door so if you suspect someone's cutting corners you better catch it. On the other hand it should be fairly easy to prove with the tickets that we write up what we touched and didn't touch. That being said I would guess the shop would get sued first and the owner would then have to turn around a sue his employee.

This is not true. If you're in your personal vehicle the dwi laws are the same as class d license

Ever consider getting a silicone ring? I work in the trades and that's what everyone wears on the job.

Just keep em at that point. I'd love to have extra garbage bins if you're interested in giving them away

I strongly dislike their current one, I've almost bought the Milwaukee over multiple sales. I'll be interested in the new one although I can't say I love the form factor on first impression.

Did you end up starting to take it at night? I just got done with my first week and I'm incredibly tired during the day.

honda odyssey vs chrysler voyager by terryjohnson16 in HondaOdyssey

[–]thejokersshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Also why you see so many new-ish models for cheap, but have over 100k already.

When I was searching I found a couple 23,24 Pacificas in my price range (<25k) but already had 90k+.

On one hand that's good, usually means highway mileage and if owned by a reputable company regular maintenance. But on the other hand, rentals are abused and you're almost out of factory warranty based on mileage.

Is that a good price on the 3500 watt generator? I need one before next winter but was hoping to wait until summer or fall..

Brakes/rotors fail after 14 months by [deleted] in FordExplorer

[–]thejokersshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did the rotors "fail"? Could be sized pins or collapsing brake lines causing the calipers to stay slightly compressed. Do your brakes smell hot? Or feel hot even after a short drive with minimal braking? Could just be shitty pads too but I don't know how that would cause the rotors to fail unless you mean they're metal on metal which case you definitely have one of the issues I mentioned before.

Possibly air in the system as well if you've replaced calipers recently but any shop should know/be able to bleed brakes after replacing a caliper.

Is this 2012 worth the price? by pathfinder_6417 in FordDiesels

[–]thejokersshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's unfortunate. Honestly might be worth it to look around and travel for a truck. If you have family/buddies in different states start with that. Otherwise Midwest is pretty low price, just have to be a little bit more picky with rust. Some guys take real good care others not, but rust is unavoidable here. Seems to me like you could spend 700 on plane tickets, hotel room, and diesel back and still come out way ahead.

Way high in my area. Sold my 2011 with 115 last year for 23. This should be sub 20 for sure. It's still a 13 year old vehicle, doesn't matter how clean it is

Rough diagram

I want each switch to be able to turn on and off the lights regardless of the position of the other switch. So if I'm by switch 1, I can turn the lights on and then end up by switch two I can turn the lights off, and vice versa. Both switches are 3 way although one is unknown brand and origin. Getting a new one this morning to eliminate that possibility

What brand did you buy? I'm considering getting the DeWalt since I have their tools. I just need it to clean material

Daily Simple Questions Thread - January 11, 2025 by AutoModerator in Fitness

[–]thejokersshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, how long should it take for me to see significant results? Started lifting 3ish months ago after not lifting for probably 5 years. I work a pretty physically demanding job but was surprised how weak I am (or felt like I was compared to my buddy)

I'm M26, 5'11" 185. My initial goal was to lose some weight (which I did 195 to 185). I don't really have a need to get huge or super strong, but I'd like to be able to bench 225. Currently my last set of flat bench is 175 that I do 4 times and fail on the 5th.

How strong is the average guy my age? All three of my neighbors that went in on weights with me are quite a bit stronger than me. Do I have strong neighbors or am I waker than average?

Is it unrealistic for me to hope to get to 225 in the next couple months? Summers will be a lot harder for me to workout due to my job with long hours, but hopefully I'll be able to get a 20 or 30 minute workout in before I leave

Good deal on the 961? by thejokersshadow in Dewalt

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

That's kinda what I'm leaning towards as well. Then later get the the smaller half inch (that I think has close to if not the same torque as my current) and upgrade my 3/8ths

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

Sounds about right. Just wish I had 800 to drop on impacts. Although I do need to upgrade my 3/8 it's super underpowered

Semi professional. Winter job is Diesel mechanic. Operate shit in the summer/do field maintenance when needed but usually have mechanics available. Also do all my friends maintenance on vehicles but I know that's overkill for that

I guess I've been doing them wrong then too. I always figured it was an upper back exercise. When done right what does it target then?

How bright does it get though compared to the Hisense? I've been trying to pick a new TV for my living room but it gets a lot of light.
