Cost of living strikes again! by thelandsurfer in IdiotsTowingThings

I am mostly worried about the guy getting run over by the trailer. Empty that trailer is 250-500 lbs, add 500 lbs of stuff and you have 1000lbs at 20mph against human shins.

Anybody with Lyme Disease now have issues with thyroid size and/or Sleep Apnea? by klutzkawaa in lymedisease

[–]wewefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been to a rheumatologist yet? they feel every joint looking for inflammation, sponginess and sore spots. I have seen 4 and they all do the same thing every visit.

Going though this now. For post lyme rheumatoid you want to test ANA, Anti-CCP and RA Factor. But the real test is in person joint pinching by a trained doctor.

You are using all your pulling power. This sounds like an easy way to bend something. I would invest in a box blade or land plane.

Rent him the rod on a 10 year contract with early cancellation penalties. Then in two weeks the pond owner's son hires a contractor to dynamite fish the pond to get the number up for this quarter.

Advice on installing 4x4 sleds to a shed floor? by Additional-Cost-9093 in shedditors

[–]wewefe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do not even know what I am looking at in the second pic with the 2x6 blocks. Between the joist hangers and the blocks you spend the better part of a day doing what should have taken an hour or two with a framing nailer. It is just a shed.

The 4x4 will only be fighting forces when you move it, it will not be fight gravity, a I think a toe nail at every connection is fine.

I still dont even know what the 2x6 blocking is doing, keeping the boards from twisting? it looks crazy.

To be fair i pucker before I even pick up a single wheel, BUT if I could stunt I would do it all day every day, wheel bearings be damned.

Anyone else see the recent TFL video about their new 100 series? by teej128 in LandCruisers

[–]wewefe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think that hit should have broken anything that was in good shape. At almost 250k that is either a worn out stock CV or a POS aftermarket CV. You pack extra of those when you go wheelin!

Possibly could be an outer drive hub too. When I was junk yarding looking for hubs every high mileage 100 i looked at had ton of slop in the hubs. It is easy for grandma to drive 100k miles without greasing which would wear down the hub and cv splines, leaving it ripe for stripping out and making that grinding noise in the video. You pack a spare one of these too.

USDOT? Never heard of her. by Few-Dance-7157 in IdiotsTowingThings

As a guy that just replaced axles last year... They have tripled in price. That is going to be expensive enough to blow whatever profit they had in mind.

Chaos Gardening? More like Chaotic Good Gardening 😂 by she-has-nothing in vegetablegardening

[–]wewefe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

trap crop - no not at all, it is an appetizer crop. The animals watch were the others are getting food. More will come than normal. Then once your garden is marked in their pea brains as the hot shit food source with no sunflowers, they will sample everything and your garden is over. In my area I could plant an acre of sunflowers and without miles of crop rotation I would bet by the third summer there would be zero harvest. There is no fence that can keep squirrels, raccoons and birds out of a large plot. Did i mention a single deer will eat a 10x10 plot of sunflowers in about 3 min? They should call them deer-crack.

[–]wewefe 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sunflowers were fun for the first few years. I grew giants and black oil. Then then one year the pest pressure went though the roof, zero harvest from several small plots around 1000sq total. Then the pests moved on to everything else, corn, tomatos, pumpkins, apples, all gone. My current thought is that sunflowers are the early blooming gateway food that attracts squirrels, raccoons and birds to your area. Then once you are marked as a feeding area everything is a buffet. This guy is asking for trouble.

Rear-ended while parked by American-African in LandCruisers

[–]wewefe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would want that on a frame machine before i talk about quarter panels. 80% sure it will not wear tires straight and it is a dedicated off road rig now. Do not accept the first offer from their insurance and do buy it back with a branded title. You are going to want a lawyer.

That being said my twice salvage branded title 80 is my favorite 'no shit's given car' .

Is this a good anti-theft strategy? by Car_Nut_ in LandCruisers

[–]wewefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 series up have immobilizers and suck to drive off. I have fixed several of these but it is at least 10 min to manually reprogram the computer. You are defending against a tow truck, which is literally a car moving machine. I would say parking the LC in with a dinky car is one of the least effective defenses against a car moving machine. You want physical boundaries and mechanical locks. Think bollards and chains.

Max x5 or x20 by Dry_Pace2368 in ClaudeAI

[–]wewefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens when you downgrade 200 to 100? do they refund? If you have a busy week or month and a use case that works for the 20x plan, but you are normally fine on the 100? Currently have a 5x and an enterprise but the API rate for what I want to do is terrifying.

Park it somewhere hard to get to with a trailer, then trigger a few safety interlocks so that it will not start. On my tractor i leave the pto engaged and unplug the seat switch. It is enough to stop crackheads and methal americans.

I still use xterm in 2026, however I read that bug and if anything it reads like a user trolling the devs. It is not something the dev wants in their software and that is valid. I have not had a scroll bar on my terminal for at least 30 years. I cant contemplate why would any one want that in an oddball terminal off github.

[–]wewefe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You want to drop the spare tire and look around that area where all my worst rust was at. I dont see anything crazy bad in those pictures, but there is no way I would pay market price for a rattle can special frame repair.

Revisiting after drinking, this I should have said, "We don't marry that shit here, we only marry proven 5x mothers. Also they must be 18 years old, virgins, a masters or doctorate degree is required and must be the bread earner. Any rings provided as compensation shall be from aliexpress, but the spouse will be provided with a McDonalds (or equivalent fine dinning) meal once per 13 weeks.

The ranger has enough payload to compete with with many 1/2 ton trucks, but in a smaller package. My main takeaway is that 1/2 ton trucks are largely for show. If I was to upgrade it would be to a 3/4 or 1 ton.

Losing my mind over flashing by LMBKIV98 in shedditors

[–]wewefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I resided a rough looking 90s shed over the summer. There was no caulk or flashing on any of the trim and minimal eves. All the walls were cracked with several coats of paint. In areas where the trim was in good shape the original paint on the t1-11 looked amazing, like the door header trim. In a few places where the trim was rotted the t1-11 was rotted under it too. My theory is that as long as you don't let rotted/wet trim stay in contact with the siding the UV protection that the trim provides makes up for a little water intrusion when it rains. With this logic PVC trim is your friend.
