Are you going to shop at Goodwill like some kind of poor, or are you going to man up and make your own belt out of whatever you have laying around????

Belt tip: Just be so fat that all your jeans are tight and you won't need a belt. That is one downside to losing weight, I have to buy a new pair of jeans every month and gently caress paying $50 for a decent set so I'm just wearing $20 wranglers for the time being. Fashion! Haven't had to wear a belt in years and now I do.

Ziptie someone's legs to their chair... or to their other leg... or to someone else's leg... or put them on your buddies CV shafts and driveshafts. The list goes on. Also apparently some goons would need to use two. Daaaamn.

That's true, but I prefer OneSeals for those applications. They're used for securing shipping containers.  Once tightened, they will not come off under any circumstances, you have to cut them off with an angle grinder or a bigass wire cutter. Or bash them off with a crowbar or something, but people tend to not like that option.

Liquid Communism posted:People spend more than $20 on jeans? This. Even the &20 jeans last for years for me. Once they get holes they become the working-on-car pair, and I get a new pair for daily use. Decided to just get an add-on receiver and remotes for the garage door opener, since it's a nice screw-type, and working well beyond the radio deafness. Would have loved one of the shaft mount ones, but $$. I then used the $$ I didn't spend on the garage door opener to buy a new AV receiver, since my 10-year old Harman-Kardon decided to stop routing HDMI. It only had two HDMI anyway. Even the cheapest one (which I got, pretty much) have at least 4. And aren't weird about displaying the OSD on HDMI, and other stuff like that. The HK will likely become a garage stereo. Will contribute to the CSB fund when I'm at a real computer. That seriously sucks.

$20 jeans till the day I die. You can take your ~RAW DENIM~ that you insist must never be washed, and your designer jeans, and cram them up your rear end  It's great because I don't even really care if I tear them open on something at work or in the junkyard, they just become official wrenching clothes instead of regular everyday clothes I forgot to change out of before wrenching.

Successfully punched self in face with a 3/8 long handle ratchet last night. Hit me dead on the bridge of my nose. Amazed I didn't break it. In better news, I just booked rooms for my trip to Japan... in 8 days. Ugh. Last minute planning is biting me in the rear end.

A lot of cheap jeans don't stretch, which I need for riding bikes. If I get non stretch jeans that fit my thighs, then the leg openings are too loose and catch on the chainring.

Hope they nail the rear end in a top hat that hit him. Does he have any sort of medical insurance to help cover the expenses?

Anyone have any info on longevity of Dodge engines? 2008 caravan with the 3.8L engine. Maintained according to schedule and currently has 180k, we're wondering how long they usually last. 90% or more miles are interstate going back and forth to dog shows. She's just worried it's going to hit 200k and blow up leaving her stranded somewhere.

These jeans are pretty cheap and really comfortable, but they don't come all that big. I think there are other styles of their stretch jeans that do, though.

NitroSpazzz posted:Any recommendations? I'm buying new jeans every 6 months to fit my thighs, getting annoying. Not at the moment. There was a Kickstarter brand that I went with and was really happy with despite the price, but they've since gone to button flys, which is ridiculous. I can't really recommend Calvin Klein Rockers, cuz they're very thin fabric and very skinny despite being stretch.

I usually buy Lucky brand at the local outlet/Costco. ~$35 on average, but I keep tearing out the inseam where the legs meet up. Thankfully my brother discovered iron on patches. Even if I only get a few more months out of them, it's worth the couple bucks per patch. My longest lasting set of jeans has been some old Levi 501(?)'s. I've put those through hell for over a decade and the button finally tore out last month.

Cage posted:Belt tip: Just be so fat that all your jeans are tight and you won't need a belt. Just buy smaller and smaller belts. This doesn't work as well if you tuck in your shirts though. I'm not buying smaller jeans until I lose more weight (unless I just need pants because another pair got a hole or something), just smaller belts. I'm on belt #3 for the year.

I'm ricing out my Volvo and I literally do not give a gently caress. Gotta get that poo poo out of my system sometime. Also I'm going to pick up an orphan baby goat on Wednesday that needs to be bottle fed. :3 I can't wait!

Goats are just all-round lovable animals, in my experience. They can be kinda loud, though. The smell can be an issue, but I'm sure baby goat will get used to it  E: Listen to this cute little bugger  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq7ZrUBlcQA But that tends to turn into this as they grow older. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIaFtAKnqBU KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 20:39 on May 23, 2016 |

Bought a new lawnmower. It's a cheapish OHV 4 stroke but according to the manual doesn't need oil changes (and has no drain plug) as it just uses oil and you add more. Honestly don't know if it's smart or lazy but it probably does help people who don't "drain" but know how to add. The manual calls for synthetic too , as does the new trimmer I bought. I'll probably buy some but it's so tempting to use these machines for all the odd non synthetic engine oil I have lying around.

Every lawn mower I've ever had didn't have a drain plug, but still necessitated oil changes every season. Cue me dumping the mower upside-down and nearly always missing the first half-quart in the drain pan. Weird that a new one is just total loss. Must not be a Cali model.

Most mowers do have a drain plug, but it's only accessible from under the deck. http://www.briggsandstratton.com/eu/en/support/faqs/~/media/Frequently%20Asked%20Questions/Engine/Images/oil_drain_vertical_duo.ashx
