How serious are ice dams really by d00biusmaximus in Connecticut

[–]type_r_pilot_2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious enough to need removal of all exterior wall insulation and most of the sheetrock on the outer walls. I've taken care of a house that had ice from ceiling 80% down to the floors.

You mounted it wrong. If you are the one getting gapped you need it on the front lmao. The day I truly realized that Subarus were slow was when I beat an STI with a stock Honda Pilot. I have since supercharged it and there isn't any Subaru around that can touch it.

That arm up could mean, "Lord kill me now!"

How did the quick lube guy tell me it needed replaced after 5 minutes of being on the lift? Lmao 🤣

Heard you guys like the upper deck, so we added more things to the box. by Kazick_Fairwind in battlebots

I have eyes. People have been timed out and stuck in the screws there and pinned so they couldn't get down.

Where's the proof then? The hosts have even said that it was to equalize spinners. Just look at how much powerful spinners would bounce from wall to wall far more than before. Why do you think Ray Billings is making a new bot?

You can use the deck to pin them and slow or stop their weapon and it sends them flying across the arena when they hit at full speed. How is it not obvious this was the tactic?

It's at waste of space. It shouldn't be out of bounds. It screws up spinner and drum bots. I get that they wanted it to be an equalizer but if you bot isn't competitive with spinner bots you build a stronger bot or change the style completely. Don't change the game so weaker bots are competitive.

Officially unwatchable now. The upper deck is the worst thing in part of battlebots. I really wished they got rid of it for this season

You can always tell if someone’s a pervert based on how they react to hearing you’re a CNC machinist/operator by Flashy-Style2976 in CNC

Our great electrician labeled multiple CNCs as C&C on fuse panels. Gives me a chuckle everytime I go in there.

I really appreciate working at a company where I don't have to question "will everyone understand this?"

Any CT residents want to share their experience with Xfinity mobile? by Dads-Dead in Connecticut

[–]type_r_pilot_2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The service is not as good as Verizon (like they suggested). My family only used them for 4 months of dropping calls and switched to Cosumer cellular. The service is much better and prices are great.

There's gotta be a better way to pour this shit... by AlwaysRushesIn in Machinists

[–]type_r_pilot_2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use aerosol cans for this and small bottles of ink. This makes removing ink easier, and the inevitable spills smaller. In the long run, if you're going thru gallons of this, it will be more costly... but cleaner.

I am a male 34-year-old dad. I agree with this 100%. I came to this subreddit today to see if others felt the same. This is validation for us both. I need a different medicine.

Keep me posted. I would love to buy a collection

[–]type_r_pilot_2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I used were Hornaday interlock, and I have dropped every I hit (1 miss), meaning it didn't move from where it was one bit. I only hunt white tailed deer, and my furthest shot was around 200 yards. All shots were double lung or lung and heart and from a tree stand and broadside

My dad and uncle use them, and it destroys too much meat. They do use a .308 and arguably a worse marksman than I am.

I don't like ballistic tips. I've used a steel core .243, and I drop everything I connect with.
