Darchangel posted:I got lucky and my trash-find electric power washer, which has basically the same wand system, possibly exactly the same (mine's not Karcher-branded - it's the cheaper house brand from Lowes or HD, I think - but it wouldn't surprise me if they made it,) came with the adjustable wand. It's not as good as the actual tips, but it goes from needle to a fairly wide fan with a twist. Mine came with an adjustable wand too, which doesn't adjust and is permanently stuck on a wide and rather weak spray. As for my repair, I've done almost all of my backyard's concrete so far, and it's holding up just fine. Definitely need to take it apart again and use epoxy for final assembly though, it's a little leaky around the threads.

MomJeans420 posted:I'm thinking of going back to a 2 seater this year and maybe having a baby by next year, bad plan? It seems like they really want kids to be in the backseat until the age of two. I'd have my wife's car too so most of the time I'd have a back seat, but I can see something happening and occasionally needing to use my 2 seater. On the one hand, just make sure it has an airbag defeat system. An airbag going off is instant death to a baby. On the other hand, everything I read said no kids in the front until they're at least 4'9" or over 90 lbs which is when they can come out of a booster. This is usually around age 8 to 10. Ironically my daughter didn't hit 4'9 until she was like 13 and even now at almost 16 still doesn't weigh 90 lb. She was in a booster well into junior high, which sucked for her.

Rhyno posted:How's your diet? Do you drink copious amounts of booze every week? Diet is good. Very little sugar and processed crap. About the only sugar I have is a bit in my coffee in the morning. Very rarely eat out/fast food. Pretty much just a paleo diet type eater. Lots of vegetables, fruits, lean meats, fish. No pastas, breads, etc. Booze? Not so much. Couple beers / drinks on weekends, but rarely during the week. Stick to light beers, bourbon, bloody mary, or screwdrivers. I run, bike, or workout regularly. I don't have a set exercise plan, other than get 30 plus minutes of good exercise a day. As far as mental health / depression / stress? No more than anyone else, I guess. Generally a pretty happy guy. I've got the same stressors as anyone else, more or less. It's not really a new thing (the thinning). It's been every so slowly thinning over the last 10 years. I'm 46, so I suppose it's time. I have very little grey, and I'm not a hairy person to begin with. Basically thin, blonde (wtf?) hairs on my arms, not much hair on my legs. Never have had much. The hair on my head is almost black. My beard is a weird mix of blonde, red, dark brown, and grey. I can grow a decent beard, oddly enough. It's just every now and then I check out the back of my head to see what it's up to and bitch about it.

I've been losing hair since my mid 20s. I don't really understand why people get worked up about it, like going grey, it's just a normal thing.

I ask because 12 years ago I started losing my hair from the crown like, super bad. I developed a bald spot the size of a drink coaster and began using rogaine. It worked for a time and then I went through a really bad breakup. At the end of the tunnel I realized I was in the middle of a massive bout of depression and I was living off what I ate and drank at the bar I worked at. As soon as I got past that I stopped using the products and whoa, my hair didn't fall out. My doctor later told me that bad diet and excessive daily drinking can lead to hair loss. But sounds like your situation is different than mine was, unless you can't deal with the idea of hair loss I would say don't mess with hair restoration products. My scalp would burn randomly and it definitely messed with my body chemistry.

The lobes on it are a different shape from mine and the coupling has a different profile as well. Geoj posted:I see a broken plastic pump housing in your future. This one's a few years old and has seen a lot of use. The only problem with it was the nozzles being hosed. It's kinda wimpy, but at least now I have a better set of nozzles that I can keep when it dies.

I don't know if he's ever really been introduced to them, I'm not much of a fan, and he's never seen the movies but he doesn't really watch movies much at all anyway. He loves cars though, so I'm sure he'd dig the autobots. All his toys these days are pretty much car related lol.

Well this is totally nuts but I thought of you when I saw this. There's this whole industry of 3rd party, unlicensed Transformers and this company is releasing an updated version of a 1985 toy. And it turns into something you'd totally appreciate.   The bummer is, it's $80.

The fact that it comes with the bike is excellent. The Japanese original had the bike back in '85 but they dropped it for the US release. On the plus side, this stuff does tend to drop in price pretty dramatically so it may be half price in a year.

That looks horrible. Besides, wouldn't it be cost effective to just buy a loving pipe threader if you're going to build a bunch of furniture? Never mind, that makes too much sense.

Home Depot doesn't charge for the first cut on a given piece, some token fee for each one after that. At least that's how it was when they still did cut and thread for pipe. I can totally see some hipster demanding that they cut a pile of 2' pipes to whatever length they needed instead of buying an 8' and having it cut into several pieces so they can save money without realizing that buying pipe in 2' lengths is more costly in the end.

I know it works with the HF and a bunch of other electric pressure washers with that style wand. Mostly it makes it easy to pop on a cheap foam cannon that uses the standard 1/4" quick connect.

Where you poo poo so perfectly it slides past the bowl into the bend, and it's so clean when you wipe there's nothing. The phantom poop.

Crown's not bad (and locally produced for me) but my preferred drink is a simple rum and coke. Black spiced rum and Mexican coke on the rocks is just perfect. I tried some higher end rums and it turns out they're wasted on me, I prefer the taste of the cheap stuff I'm used to.
