LOL!
Cell phone/tablet repair shop.
Hot plate is usually used to loosen the double sided tape/glue holding the screen or back glass on.
Still no worries, if I ever used the hot plate for other things as such, I’d always let it cool off and clean the entire surface with 91% rubbing alcohol.
Me? I’m the kind of guy that works in the back, so if I somehow show up with wet shoes, I’ll go around barefoot while my socks are on the hot plate.
No, I don’t work restaurants, so don’t worry about your food.
I resemble this meme.
Slightly different clothing, but still…
Ah, a perfect choice for kamakaze planes, Boeing is the leader of deadly aircraft, right?
Well, I’ve never had turkey eggs before, but there’s a first time for everything…
Yep. I keep backups of stuff…
I have apps that tell me they’re made for Android 4, yet they still work today on much newer versions of Android.
It’s all usually got to do with security permission stuff, Survival Manual doesn’t require any permissions though. It does request location permission, but that’s not necessary at all.
I can’t say either way, I’m running Android 10/11 devices.
That’s the entire point of Mark’s test, Tesla doesn’t use LIDAR anymore, just plain cameras. LIDAR wouldn’t be fooled by such a painted wall, but apparently typical cameras can indeed be fooled.
It’s similar to facial recognition unlock, if it doesn’t use some form of 3D cameras or sensors, then just a simple photo of you is enough to unlock your phone.
What, no love letters?
I bet he couldn’t even pay Melania to change his diapers these days…
I got you fam, I posted a link for the person you responded to.
For the English speakers out there (plus there should also be at least partial translations to other languages), I highly recommend everyone on the digital planet should install the Survival Manual app, it even works when Internet is down…
Oh, very true, definitely don’t want any bolts or nuts coming loose.
I started working on and rebuilding go-kart engines like 30 years ago at age 12, and started working on vehicles around age 22. I’ve never had any screw, bolt, or nut that I’ve installed ever come loose, and my roommate’s brakes are no exception, they’re not going to come loose.
It just dumbfounds me that I managed to twist break an extension like that, with my bare hands and muscles and all.
After breaking the extension, I dug deeper into the trunk to get our boxed in wrenches to tighten everything back up, no problem there.
Honestly I think the extension was made of mild steel, not good tempered steel.
Update:
From end to end, the ratchet is 7 1/2 inches long.
The center of the ratchet head is about 5/8 of an inch in, meaning there’s basically 6 7/8 inches of handle delivering the torque.
This is the toolkit I was using, apparently Pittsburgh brand…

My tools are in the vehicle downstairs right now, so I’m not currently sure exactly how long the ratchet handle is, but it’s not significantly long. If anything it’s basically about the average length you would expect a cheap 3/8" ratchet to be.
I’ve never seen this happen before unless a cheater bar or hammer or whatever was used. That would be misuse. I was not using a cheater bar or hammer though, I was only using my bare hands and muscle.
If I had a torque wrench, it would be interesting to test a variety of brands of extensions to determine their failure points.
I didn’t have 1/2" drive tools. I’ve been doing brakes and other vehicle repairs for over 20 years and I’ve never needed 1/2" drive for anything besides drive axle and strut mount nuts.
This was just a couple measly 17 millimeter bolts. If anything, I would have expected the bolt head to round off first, I’ve never twisted a 3/8" extension to the point of breaking before.
Hell, I’ve even done head gaskets using a 3/8" drive and it didn’t break. It wasn’t HF either…
If you can afford a garage, you can afford good tools. If I had a garage, you think I’d cheap out on my tools?
I had to go back at the bolt in question with a wrench from another kit after breaking the extension. At least I have other better extensions, I just didn’t have them with me at the moment.
I’m old enough to remember when computers didn’t even require a hard drive, they could just boot right into Basic from ROM.
