- Comment on ribbed plastic anchor in brick not holding -- what screw diameter do I need? 1 week ago:
These are for concrete when you need to hold 2000lbs. They’re not for brick.

These are the worst possible wall plugs you could buy. Toss them and get better ones. I only use Fischer DuoPowers myself.

- Comment on [CW: Animal Cruelty] 370 billion crickets are farmed for food every year. Scientists have discovered they may feel pain 4 weeks ago:
There’s also a Shrimp Welfare Project.
One could argue that this is even worse than pig farming due to the sheer scale of it and donating to them to enable painless death for the shrimp could be the most good you can do with your money when looking at how far even just one dollar gets you.
- Comment on I replaced the alternator on my truck. 5 weeks ago:
Not really. I removed the intercooler hose and an air duct out of the way and there was a decent amount of room to do it from the top.

Thanks. I made it myself. Turned out to be quite the conversation piece as it gets a ton of comments from my customers.

Mild solution of pine oil soap and water will likely kill whatever they are but wont harm the plant or you.

- Comment on My first attempt at fletching an arrow 2 months ago:
I intend to trim the feathers a bit but I didn’t have scissors with me and didn’t want to attempt it with a knife.
- Comment on My first attempt at fletching an arrow 2 months ago:
Yeah I actually thought about meltin some spruce resin over the thread to prevent it from coming undone.

I’ve been getting into slingling a bit. It’s wildly inaccurate but you can reach impressive distances and it packs quite the punch.
- Comment on My first attempt at fletching an arrow 2 months ago:
The primitive way is to use animal sinew instead of a modern string. You apply it wet and once it dries it shrinks tighter and glues onto itself.
- Comment on My first attempt at fletching an arrow 2 months ago:
Yeah it’s quite a bit of work. I don’t think I’d have the heart to actually shoot this even if I did have a bow. I put way too much effort into it. They recommend making these in batches of 5 if you’re actually intending to use them too. This is more of a proof of concept.

Damn, these are really cool. I was just practicing rope-making from nettles last summer myself.

You just wanted an excuse to mess with the winch and pulleys didn’t you?
