I had a dream last night that it was 65 degrees in Wisconsin. I practically woke up in tears to 0 degrees.

What the gently caress is the deal with this? Do these turds think that's a really common thing to do to your bike, like checking the chain? All of their bikes must just be covered with grinder scars. Some day there's going to be a blooper reel from one of their stupid videos where some knob goes up in a ball of flames because his leaky lovely CB750 had gas all over it when he decided to do the grinder rooster tail.

Ryobi One? Yeah I guess if you like radioactive, carcinogenic cheap plastic tools made by lawyers and accountants. I prefer to use my vintage Black & Decker, built buy manly men back when people actually used tools to build things.  Also, dear lord, I think I found a hipster tools website.

Word counts on that page: Plastic - 27 times Carcinogenic - 5 times Radioactive - 1 time Think of the children - 1 time Girl/girly as an insult - 3 times Vintage - 120 TIMES.

Well, this is a total score. A photographer friend was doing some UrbEx in a decomissioned refinery and found these vintage 55 gallon drums in an old warehouse (no doubt left there when some lawyer or accountant decided it was too expensive to be useful). I can't quite make out what they say because the amazing patina has faded some of the words printed on the side, but it's something like "keto.e". Whatever it is in there is a really amazing degreaser, great for cleaning up abused vintage tools and greasy hands... you have to be careful though because it can remove the patina. I got some on my carcinogenic plastic Ryobi I was going to discard, and it completely melted the plastic. Didn't do a thing to the real steel tools though. Far better than the wimpy modern "citrus degreaser" I had in the studio. It smells proper, not like some cheap carcinogenic air freshener some accountant would use to make his kitchen smell pretty.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:What the gently caress is the deal with this? Do these turds think that's a really common thing to do to your bike, like checking the chain? I think that "showers of flaming sparks" is their understanding of "MANLY DANGEROUS MAN doing MANLY DANGEROUS STUFF" and that's the extent of what they've picked up on. Like in action movies where people have fights in "factories" that seem to produce nothing but showers of sparks and jets of steam. Or in video games where you can repair anything by pointing a portable blowtorch at the part of it that makes sparks for a couple of minutes and it makes an electric arc buzzing noise for some reason and then presto the thing is done being fixed. But seriously, Snowdens Secret posted:it's always the pesky vestigal pillion peg mounts that leave you stranded bingo, gotta remove those to ensure your babe has to dangle her feet in the wind or burn them on the exhaust or whatever Z3n posted:

The erasers are dead but the pencils are fine! I scored these a few years ago at Midland Liquidators for two bucks a box. I figure I got enough pencils with the five or ten cases to last me most of my life. I would have prefered American made ones but even these were a rare find. Vintage pencils, dude! The graphite was just, like better back then HenryJLittlefinger posted:Radioactive - 1 time This is the one I don't understand at all. New tools are way, way less radioactive than old tools. I have camera lenses from the 1960s where the glass is like 40% thorium. Everyone used to use thoriated electrodes in their TIG welders until lanthanum ceramic became a thing. Old tools are lousy with stuff like uranium oxides (ceramic glazes, paints) and radium (watch faces, etc). I love good old tools too, but jeez, please tell me that site's a joke
