Random Thought Thread

I always try to buy UnBrako brand screws because they're the best. They're expensive but, when quality counts, sometimes the most expensive option is also the most cost effective.


This last batch of screws, we've been having a lot of problems with them. The heads are soft and strip out, and there's a lot of run out on them.

I think I found the problem


I HATE when a good brand goes to China

Hmm... So it only took about 6 or 7 months but that's okay... Welcome to the club Bro! 🤣

Oh and if you are feeling a little guilty you can always go ahead and unload some of those extra light or non-users blades here: Carothers Performance Knives For Sale.

But sometimes doing so is easier said than done. 😅

Exactly my point.

I may have to part with a few things before too long. Need to fatten up the truck fund before I go shopping for one.

It's definitely not a buyer's car market right now.

Yeah.

You should probably just make your own. Buy a used Swiss machine at auction, sight unseen.


You can probably find the space for one.

And I’m sure the transformer outside will be fine running at 500°.





You can bring it home on the bed of your Ford truck.







What’s the worst that could happen?

Have you tried scarfing nine cans of ravioli? I've heard nobody wants to admit they ate nine cans of ravioli. The first can doesn't count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth might get burnt with a blow torch and you just keep eating.

I was always a little leery of neck knives. This story didn't help matters.

I remember that (sorta local to me). The place where it happened is a massive restaurant /night club that has pretty frequent brawls, stabbings, etc. I am a little suspicious of what actually happened.

Hilarious show. I just watched it all the way through for the second time and realized somehow I missed a bunch of episodes.

I'm a fan of food not counting.

Eggs. Sunny side up eggs have zero calories.
