    It's funny, that Craftsman ratchet in his demo appears to work and then he starts half-assing it. Now I want that Craftsman ratchet. The YouTube comments have a bunch of people saying the same thing. He should have just done the demo with a 100 tooth Snap-On Cynergy ratchet or something with a...

    MLB 2026: Welcome To The Neo Empire

    I'm just glad this circus is over and the Tigers actually got some decent prospects out of it. They weren't winning it all this year (and probably not even making the playoffs) with this shit bullpen that's blown more saves than gotten actual saves. He's not going to move the needle on their...

    Could also be this is the first 'raze the house and build McMansion' guy on the block and he needs to know the exact property lines so he can build right up to the setbacks.

    Home buying thread

    I've only heard of the cold call guys being ultra lowball scammers or trying to pull a fast one and slash things once under contract. I'd avoid even if the initial offer is fair. If you've got a good realtor, they probably know some handymen that can knock out any prep that matters extremely...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    The Browns, Jets, Titans, and Raiders are in the top ten... I assume the criteria is just age, not quality, right?

    Where is this podcast? How can I get it into my wife's algorithm? What do they even mean by 90 degree head angle?

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Interesting. Not sure this would work beyond Tesla though. For driver attention monitoring, most other OEMs I'm aware of use time of flight cameras - usually located in the steering column. You can look at them through your phone's camera and see the IR being emitted. These cameras are for gaze...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Was testing my google-fu. Are you sure this is something that actually exists? Looks to me like 2004 was the last year you could get that color: https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/general-mini-talk/68609-the-official-indi-blue-owners-thread.html...

    Well, here's my tattoo that possibly explains it. It's of this rebellious young man, and he's urinating on an FM radio. And then this other stream of urine is going onto that television set. Implausible, I know, but I like to think that he had sex the night before, and a little bit of residue...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Your post just convinced me that angry Jeeps are the way to go. If Reddit, a bunch of communists who hate cars at Jalopnik, and boomers still using Facebook have reached a consensus, then the correct position is the opposite. If he's shunned by the Jeep community and doesn't get a bunch of...

    That's an insane amount of light. I had some 6000 China lumen lights (so probably about 2000 max) in my garage and looking at them was worse than looking up at the sun. Are they dimmable? If so, maybe it would be nice to have that top level for an impromptu surgery and just leave it at 20% the...
