  • In my mind, hauling ass means to go as fast as possible, generally dangerously so. There usually is a solid reason for it, like escaping something, making it somewhere on time when you're already late. I'd say it's under strain, but the strain isn't that you're carrying a load, it's that you're pushing your vehicle or yourself to its limits, or perhaps beyond them.

  • Well, you're a bot I guess. No one I know loves it. Or uses it for much beyond playing around and trying to get it to be stupid. One friend said she used it for apologizing to people, but stopped when that backfired

  • Oh you sweet summer child.

    Getting DEET at a high enough concentration to be effective is difficult as hell, Zero, countem fuckin zero OTC bugsprays offer it higher than 15 percent, and 20-25 percent is where it actually starts to matter. Further, that's only a deterrent, and I have been in places where the swarm is so thick you kill bunches just by clapping.

    We're not even getting into the midges, which are small enough to breeze through mosquito netting

  • I have scavenged furniture for years. Furnished houses and apartments and squats and warehouses and busses.

    Have never knock on wood had bedbugs.

    Learn what they and their eggs look like and inspect the shit you're grabbing first.

    Once passed on a really nice couch in a nice neighborhood, because I spotted a half of an ass of one.

    The stained old victorian style couch in the winco parking lot was fine though, lol

  • So! There's a place in Philly called the Mutter Museum. Filled with all manner of human specimens of various ailments.

    Absolutely fascinating. Like $20 admission. 100% worth it.

    A couple of the pieces on display are the skulls and jaws of mouth breathers. I don't know if they had an issue that required surgery that wasn't available in the 1800's, or if it was just bad habits, but.

    Literally changes the shape of your bones. And therefore your face.

    Fucking wild.

  • There's a 'free zone' in Belize that ahh.... It's like a pustulant blister of capitalism. It's gross. Feels gross. Everywhere that isn't actively selling shit is a literal garbage dump, and there's a ton of building carcasses with faded signs falling off of them. Looks like in its heyday it was at best a sleazy strip mall.

  • Also, I get it's a restoration project, which are fun and wholesome, but Fuck push saws.

    Pull saws are where it is at! Easier to keep on target, less work, and you can't crease the blade on a cut and ruin the whole fucking saw

    Though, I've never seen a pull saw you can play with a bow

  • There's no glue or epoxy on earth I'm aware of that will hold on metal well enough to handle the force of unscrewing a bolt.

    You might solder nuts to either side, that might hold and be reversible.

    The suggestions of drilling it out also won't work well, if it's already spinning in place, it will spin faster.

    I know you don't want to, but cutting a slot is your best bet. If you do it clean, it'll just look like a screw. You could replace with a rivet if you really need a non-screw look for the finish
