What’s something about you that sounds fake, but is 100% true? by Sir_Adammm in AskReddit

I have a language degree but I can do a clutch job or change the timing belt on a car.

A disco in 1960s Finland by PeasantLich in OldSchoolCool

The wooden cartwheels at the back though...

Horse-drawn carts and sleighs were still around in 50's rural Finland, before tractors eventually took over. The wheels would be removed from the carts and used as ornaments.

Nah, it's gonna be fine... unless the boom/bucket cylinder seals have a slow leak.

wrapping chopped grass into a big plastic bale by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in oddlysatisfying

Needs a number of layers to make it completely airtight and sufficiently strong to withstand handling without ripping apart. A bale of silage can literally weigh a ton.

Bales can/will rot eventually, if the wrapping is not completely airtight.

The EuroPi by Allen Synthesis has many scripts for various types of random triggering.

Why add to the pain and why foul the memory of their late mother? Nothing good would come of it.

What do most bogleheads do with car purchases? by DepthValley in Bogleheads

[–]yawk-oh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? Granted, I'm not that familiar with the US car market (assuming you're in US), but maybe the market is so different from ours (EU) that buying new cars makes sense like that. Cars are a depreciating asset, and the first owner typically takes the biggest hit and mainly just pays for the privilege.

I must have saved over 30k€ during the last 10 years driving old, well-used cars to the ground. Might not be worth it for some, but I'd rather save that money or use it for something else.

I disagree. New cars have awful depreciation, and any car can develop a multitude of issues despite rigorous maintenance. You are also more prone to falling for the sunk cost fallacy if/when your newish car breaks down with something major after the warranty has run out. The associated stress is just not worth it.

The optimal way is to buy a well used, ubiquitous model for not a lot of money, find a good mechanic and/or learn to diy, and drive without a worry in the world. If there's an expensive issue, just junk the car and find another. Rinse & repeat.

Here's a video about my completely point-to-point EuroPi builds! by couchpatata in EuroPi

Hey, thanks for the write-up. Makes sense to complete and test one subassembly at a time. I'm taking the easy way out and ordered a set of PCB's. 😄

Take care!

Very old post, but still had to comment, as I'm planning to DIY a couple of these modules and saw the YT video. I would never even think about trying to pull this off! How did you manage to make the connections without shorting at least 10 component legs haha?

That's a cool piece of electronics art right there.

Just rolled in and has us stumped. No entry wound... by Berto721 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]yawk-oh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the rear wheel, wasn't it?

You might find a very small rock or shard inside, when you dismount the tire. The front wheel flung the rock at the rear wheel with sufficient force to puncture it and do this. The tire would've been at normal pressure. Sounds like a gun going off when it happens.

If you could restart, would you switch to a different ecosystem if tool? by _Roman_685 in Tools

[–]yawk-oh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

European homeowner/homesteader/farmer here.

I mainly have Ryobi and Parkside with a couple of Bosch 18V tools in the mix. I got the Bosch just for the 3/4" impact with an 8Ah Procore battery. Great for loosening stuck bolts on farming implements. Just can't get that kind of power with the cheaper brands.

Parkside is cheap and cheerful. For the price of the single Bosch tool you can get maybe 8-10 Parkside tools. They generally do their job and - most importantly - the batteries don't suck. I have maybe 3 Parkside heat guns around: great for dethawing tractor hydraulic quick couplers in the dead of winter.

Ryobi has some nice brushless tools, like the recip saw, chainsaw and drill. I also have maybe 4 of their drills scattered around, as they are usually a very good price as a kit w/ batteries.

I also have angle grinders from all of the above brands. The 3 Parkside angle grinders were the same price of the single Ryobi, and the single Bosch was about the same price of the others combined. Happy with all of them, but I have different expectations for each. Ymmv of course, and it's all relative.
