Delicious. Unrelated, but related presumably to the wording on the side of the car, MAN, I sure do love me some folks moaning about "are freedums" while simultaneously rejecting the notion that those freedoms do not include being free of the consequences of their actions or decisions. That's what they really mean by "their freedoms". That one's not in the Constitution, chucklefuck. Or reality.

Apparently a batch of lifters for the 5.3 and 6.2 v8 Chevy makes have a 100 percent failure rate. I'm so excited to do the same job every day for months. gently caress.

I know there have been a lot of problems with hydraulic lifters for years. I just use solid roller lifters/cam and live with adjusting them because it is less hassle than tearing something apart that has a ton of metal go through it from a wiped cam and lifters.

Hell if I know, I'm Just An Apprentice. Failure mode is just sticking shut, so it'll kill your cats and be really down on power, nothing actually scary. Heard the owner losing his mind over a phone call with corporate over it.

This isn't thematically appropriate considering it's a horrible carpentry failure, but I have to share it because it's truly amazing. At the end of the day today I got to see a condo remodel where a floor coverer pulled off some base to replace carpet with laminate and one of the brad nail holes in the drywall started spraying water across the room. Apparently 10 years ago, when the complex went up, some finish carpenter shot a brad off layout and went straight into a CPVC sprinkler pipe. That little 18 gauge nail held back 30 psi for a decade and didn't leak a drop until the base came off the wall. If the vinyl had gone down under the existing base with new shoe nobody ever would have found it. Before today I was blissfully ignorant of anything other than black pipe drop ceiling commercial sprinkler systems where the usual failure mode during a remodel is a sparky not paying attention to where the handrail is on the scissor lift.

Wish I could see people's faces when the spraying started.  Magical.

When you take the saddle out of the equation what do you have left? I guess a bareback valve.

I was digging around the toolbox at work the other day looking for either a 9 or 11 mm socket, and all I could find were 10mm sockets. It was deeply unsettling.

I can't remember who it was at this point but I think I sent someone like a dozen-plus 11mm sockets one year for AISS as a joke/to drive them crazy looking for the ten. (The local pawn shop sells loose misc sockets for like 25 cents each.  )

I know it's more of a joke than anything, but I've been wrenching on my own poo poo for literally 35 years, and I have yet to lose a 10mm socket. I don't think I've "lost" a tool, like ever.

The only tool I've actually "lost" was a 1/2"-drive 3/4" impact deep well socket and even after moving out of that house and emptying that garage I still have no loving idea where it went. I don't know how a socket that big just up and disappears. I left a screwdriver at the junkyard once, but that's on me for being a dumbass.

It was my consolation prize for barely getting to eat that week thanks to that miserable shitbag engine. That ratchet was in my go bag for years It jumped out of the topbox on my moto on a dirt ride to find a new life with the next owner. Live on little buddy.

Same here, though I must add that communal tools in my shop at work don't count because you can rarely find anything that you need. The ones in my work truck= all there, personal tools at work, missing one 1)2" socket. Shop tools, it's a crapshoot. For the longest time 3/4 was the wrench and/or sockets that didn't exist, now it seems to be 7/16 stuff that has disappeared. Other stuff can be found occasionally maybe even where it's supposed to be.

Idea: Weld a 10mm socket onto the wrench. Weld 10mm bolt heads in the backs of all the other sockets. Problem solved.

For me at least it’s when I’m not being good about putting away tools and then the 10mm (or 12mm) is just kind of floating somewhere under a wrench or a gasket and I can’t seem to find it even though it’s definitely right there.

I've never lost the ten but I did lose my 13/16 12pt (which I have literally never used) in the disgusting trunk area of my old beater XJ. It was there before a trail ride in 2014 and it wasn't after. I found it in 2018 when I cut it up for parts, deeply embedded in the grease/oil/coolant/gasoline/trail mud/dissolving factory floor butyl sound dampening melange that was caked to the trunk floor. That car was 12/10 gross. I lost my 3/8 drive 1/2 deep 12pt literally in the back of the water pump pulley from the old engine of the same jeep in 2012. Dropped it while taking the head off, couldn't find it anywhere despite spending a good 5 minutes looking, and it was just sitting in the corner of my yard so there was no engine bay to get lost in. I found it years later at one of the NEAI meets after we thermited it and drunkenly decided to disassemble it to see how much damage was done.

i keep losing ratcheting 9/16" wrenches. one of them fell out of my pocket on a bike ride, one of them i accidentally left on the fender of the car before shutting the hood and going on a test drive, and another was in the car when it was stolen, and not there when it was recovered. i hardly ever use 10mm, but 9/16? every drat time. i started buying 14mm wrenches because they fit better, guess its time i buy another one... aside from that, ive left a couple things in junkyard cars that werent there when i remembered and went back (rip, my grandpa's channellocks) i also had a toolkit that went missing from the car the second time it was stolen too, now that i think of it

Every 10 I've ever lost has been a cranking hard, break loose, banged knuckles, *clink*, handle still in your hand, socket absorbed into the ether, blood everywhere. Some people work tidier, my rear end.

considering Robertson screwdrivers seem to just show up out of nowhere, if you welded a 10mm socket to a robertson screwdriver you could create a hole in the space time continuum.
