Is there a word for a puller tool where the jaws point outward?

Was struggling with fork seals on my motorcycle and was thinking I could 3D print something like this - blue is the tool, red is the ring to remove, black is the tube its being pulled from

I've talked to my dad exactly once in the last 2 years and he went straight into pro-trump Qanon conspiracy bullshit.

how many canadians are pro-trump q-anon brain worm havers

Way too loving many. Trump has directly hurt his primary source of income, and will continue to do so, but he talks about Hillary as if she has any bearing on anything whatsoever. I'll never have a reason to talk to him again after December, so whatever.

I'm interviewing for a new father, if there are any applicants here let me know.

I think my headphones are finally dead: (

Their duct tape by weight percentage has crept out throughout the years, but they've carried on being comfortable and capable, but the plastics have just given up :(

I have a big head and big ears (surprise!) and it has always been hard to find headphones that don't cause physical pain, but i think these big comfy bastards are finally dead after probably 10 years :(

Y'all are nuts.

Edit: in unrelated news, the respiratory tech at work who was declared braindead after a motorcycle accident ... woke up, has started rehab, and will be going home soon.

Let that be a lesson, just because somebody rides a motorcycle doesn't mean they're braindead. They might just be suicidal.

Season 2 of "Patriot" is out on Amazon video and i wish i could mainline this show straight in to my veins. I love ever bit of it so god drat much. It's a dark comedy like Burn After Reading with amazing cinematography like Grand Budapest Hotel. The first season also includes a bunch of amazing turbo-encabulator style jargoin on the structural dynamics of flow.

God I haven't watched convoy since I was about 12. I can't imagine it'll be as good as I remember.

It is so much loving better. You probably remember it is a "cool truck" movie, when really it's about social injustice

It's a rather painful social statement in light of current racial injustice.

I love the movie with all my heart but can't supress the emotions in relation to the message of the film, and the lack of progress with white supremacists still in charge.

I would seriously implore anybody who can't recite the move by heart to eatch it with a "clean slate" state of mind

It will be so much more than you could remember.

I cannot state enough, if you haven't watched Convoy(1978) in the last 10 years, you have to find a way to see it.

Anyone else feel like the quality of car interiors really dipped from about 2005-2014?

It's only just recently that I feel like car interiors have gotten good again. I think it's just because car companies stated using that cheap looking hard plastic in their cars in the mid-aughts.

A lot of it might have to do with the fact that an airbag now has to pop out of every available surface in the event of a fender bender.

The Powershift solution would be to sit in it and reef on it with your body weight while pushing the button. It'll either fix the problem or create one too big to bother solving.

I ask just to piss people off, because the same people who give a poo poo about beans in chili also put mustard in barbecue sauce.

Every once in a while a BBQ joint pops up here and serves dried out ribs with lovely sauce, and then promptly goes out of business.

If i lived in the south i would eat so much barbecue, but then i'd also be surrounded by rednecks and swamp rear end so whatever

I have a whole bin of assorted anchors. I need to pick up a quality stud detector though, dont want to gently caress around with the heavy stuff I'll be putting up.

Once you go stud, you never go dud.

I don't give a poo poo if the clock is mounted off center, or that a 10lb clock doesn't need to be anchored into a stud.

I'm pretty confident that my TV can hang out at full extension on it's mount because i modified said mount so both mounting points were centered into a god drat stud.
