The bolts on the brackets are super heavy duty, they're bolted directly to the frame and completely solid still. I initially thought about replacing the whole set, but getting those fuckers off would probably do more damage to the frame than it's worth. Probably just best to let sleeping dogs...

I figure this is probably a better thread for this than the car one, just based upon the level of handyman bullshit shenanigans I'm planning on doing here. So, I drive a 2004 Ram. Bought it new. 253k on it. It's.....well used. The running boards fell off. Well, not exactly fell - you can...

Man, I wish anyone had graves. One of the things that really shocked me was the first time I heard about someone being cremated was when I was a teenager. Everyone I know had been buried. Now no one is. Johnny cremated and dumped in his favorite lake. I don't remember what his parents did with...

I fucking feel ya. I had a clip on my produce drawer break. All it does is hold the drawer onto the rail. Fucking $22 Wish I knew how to 3d print something like this. It's literally less than an inch and a half wide

Man, I'm having a helluva time now. For the unaware, my best friend died in his sleep in April, Hodgkin's, lung cancer, that whole thing. Then a month later, the guy who would be my best remaining friend walked into Afton state park and offed himself, there's a thread about that. Then I had to...

It was slightly tongue in cheek, but I actually envy people like that Unfortunately, some level of tinnitus affects a lot of us who's workplaces aren't exactly offices, and I'm sure the 25 years of metal concerts and gun ranges even with ear pro didn't help either. Laying around just...

There are people who don't sleep with a fan on?

Gonna pass on that exciting offer...I kinda wanna stay married to this one. Also, I might end up dragging her here someday. She was a bit of a lefty when we met, and now she's starting to ask questions like "What's Telegram and why does everyone say it's bad?" "Oh, it's just for fellow racists...

What happens if I'm a hunter and I build a giant temple in one spot and base all of my hunting out of it? How long do you think I hunt for before there's no animals to hunt anymore?

That's my point. I didn't feel like arguing with the Asshat runner up. If you built a gigantic temple, you are not, by definition, a hunter/gatherer society. You don't have spare labor. There are Amazon tribes that fit this bill, they build pretty much zero monolithic stone structures. That's...

...which is not hunter/gatherer

I see they're still grasping at straws to find ways to explain how hand to mouth civilizations had the labor to build such structures. Academics are so disappointing.

As I am not asking for votes for something, and as I am not pretending to be a female, the rule of tits or GTFO do not apply here. Furthermore, since we are in a SFW section, posting tits would lead to disciplinary action. I can only conclude that you are the one who is not abiding by...

No, she knows a prenup has gotta be the way to go. She knows my kids are what's important to me, and she also knows that I got very lucky to keep my house and pension in the divorce. Making sure that they get included in things is absolutely important. I have no desire to see either of them...

Well, guess we're fucking doing this. 5 years ago I said I wasn't gonna get married again. But I guess the cold hard reality is that when you've got daughters, you need to teach them that they need to find a good man and hitch their wagon to them so they don't end up on Onlyfans. Can't be out...

Man, Chewy sure shit the bed. They sent me an auto refill notice a week after Zel died for her prescriptions, and I canceled it with a dropdown menu selection that said "pet is deceased." They sent me a form letter condolence email within a day or so and then said that all of my autoships...

Zofran is a fuckin miracle drug. Shit should be OTC. I have the remnants of a factory bottle of that from my stomach ulcer days. So great when you feel like you could work but are just a bit sketchy.

This is about the last thing I was expecting

It's all reminiscent of arguing with people about Blood Bowl who simply cannot understand that rolling 1s on 3 dice in a row is actually NOT that rare at all. Plus there's the obvious fact where you can literally watch Hikaru play probably 98% of his games if you so desired. He's just a boomer...

Actually I have the same problem....someone finally checks this thread, I get a bunch of reaction notifications and then I see it was for the post your pet thread, and then I remember why I have posts in there. Whole thing fucking sucks. After Andrew died, I didn't wanna be at work. We worked...

These are some great videos. I didn't realize you could put something together so cheaply and easily that would be effective at clearing the air. Had to leave the garage in between passes, because it looked like a fucking flour mill in there as I was surfacing that shit.

Well, fucked up my router sled today, tried to take too big of a chunk and instead of bogging, caught some monster kickback on the router. Lesson learned, now I know what I can take and can't. Perfect time to order an endmill while I build a new sled.

You guys are great. I don't think this gets said enough, but this entire site is a wealth of knowledge. It's fucking awesome.

You just wanted those ribs gone so you could suck your own dick. Be honest!

Jointer is gonna be the next thing I'm gonna have to work out, because while some of these are gonna be live edge pieces, I am gonna wanna square up some of it. But yeah, you guys are right. Could do that....that just worries me that I'd go too deep. At least this way I'm not gonna fuck up...

I don't know how i'd maintain a consistent surface on that. The pro of the router sled is keeping a consistent depth.

Huh, that's crazy. Biggest endmill bit I can find is 1 inch, but if it's really that big of a difference even with a small bit, maybe it's worth it. They're fucking spendy though. I had to take it in layers because eventually I was removing too much material for the bit to handle without...

That piece was 1.5" on one end, 2.5" on the other end. It's a lot more than a belt sander can take off. The electric planar I had considered, but my pieces are 2-3' wide. Way more than a normal shop planar is capable of handling.

Huh, don't have a CNC. Can you use those bits in routers?

I thought chainsawing this shit was grueling. This is exhausting. I've got a 2 inch surfacing bit on a top of the line Bosch router, but you can only cut 1/4" deep and maybe take 3/4" passes before the bit bogs down in this stuff, so it's an absolute slog doing a slab when you've gotta remove...

Now, I know I have pieces that are 2.5" thick on one end and 1.5 thick on the other, thanks to the inaccuracies of a chainsaw mill, but goddamn is is it disheartening turning this much material into sawdust. I might cut some slabs in half so I can get 2 nightstand table tops out of each, just...

Can't believe you guys are still having issues. Brave on my computer and on my phone. I'm watching chess videos all day long and I still haven't seen a single ad since this rollout started, nor any difference in behavior. Get a non shit browser.

Cops should totally start releasing these pics and videos. You know...to teach her a lesson.

Got this in the mail the other day. Considering the specifics included in such things, it's a nice gesture that this is hand written, and was actually written by someone who took 5 minutes to do it, instead of just being a form letter thing. Can't recommend this company enough. I guess there's...

Ah, I have that same kit. I think that video might cover my issue. I'll give it a go in the morning.

FOHbros, I am at an impasse. I've got a toilet that's absolutely confounding me. It's got a side mount flush lever, and for the life of me, I cannot get it to function properly, no matter what the fuck I do. If I flush it, there's a 50% chance the handle doesn't come back up, and a 25% chance...

Wormie. He'd get mad about it, and that's the whole point. Araysar would revel in it.

I just completely broke myself in regards to sleep. I don't need to sleep anymore. I just do it outta habit and convenience!

Blackout curtains homey. Worked overnights for years. Also, an alarm going off 2 hours before you gotta wake up ain't a bad thing either. Half an hour before you wake up sucks ass, but in 2 hours you can get another sleep cycle in. I've done both, got up earlier than partner and got up later...

Sleeping mask? So we can pretend it's COVID 24h a day? Fuck that. Can't understand how anyone wears anything on their head to bed.
