  1. No shit, that married bitch pissed me off. If I was that dude I would have tracked her husband down and given him the video. Fucking dumb whore.

     

    Isnt this how every episode of Dateline NBC starts?

  2. Not that this is thread in which to bring this shit up or anything, but let me ask you this (from one pro-gun guy to another), how would guns have prevented any of this particular incident, or improved the outcome? I am doubtful that it would have at all.

     

    Now, can we continue with the discussion re: the terrorist attack in Belgium without any further political axe grinding interruptions, please?

     

    You are correct in your assumption that a firearm might not have stopped the threat. My point is, people are fucking crazy and there certainly are instances when having a firearm might come in handy. Much like car insurance. I have spent the last 6 years working in behavioral health (Disclaimer: not a clinician) and if there is one thing i have learned, it was my second sentence.

  3. 98 % of Americans are never going to relate or understand why they don't understand the violence in the world. The 1.5 % that do understand there is world violence are military, law enforcement and those whose families have lived it or experienced it and are in the US. The other .5% are people how educate themselves about the world. Understanding that you don't understand the violence, but recognizing there is a threat out there, is almost the best most can do. This is why I say you can not rationalize irrational actions. You have control over situation awareness, and your ability to limit your threat exposure, or being able to effectively react to an incident. Labeling right and wrong, or good guys and bad guys is your perception. Remember, they think you are the bad guy too.

     

    Its amazing to me how anti-gun people can be. "ZOMG YOU'RE SUCH A PUSSY, WHYS DO YOU NEEDS A GUNS TO PROTECTS YOUSELVES!?!"

     

    My reaction to those people:

  4. Nope, not having them sell my mobile number to an advertising agency only to start receiving texts that are ads. And what is the point of that game? What the hell are you looking for?

     

    Never once received a call/text that wasn't warranted from them or any other rogue agency. Gave them my number many years ago. You can continue without selecting the accept offers button.

     

    Thank OP, in 4 one!

  5. True, but like 85% of the time I've gone to HF, at least the one on 161, they have just given me the extended warranty on everything I've bought lol

     

    Damn, i thought i was doing good when the cashier offered to give me 20% off on something i didnt even have a coupon for.

  6. ...and you didn't take it back and get a replacement?

     

    Like I mentioned, mine has rebuilt many a Subaru with absolutely zero problems. Only things with a continuous load like air grinders have issues, and they still work fine for a long while after a recharge.

     

    I run impacts, grinders, drills, air ratchets, you name it on it. Sounds like yours was a dud, yes, but you never got it replaced.

     

    unfortunately the CP stuff only has a 90 day return policy, unless you buy the extended warranty.

  7. Who determines what constitutes a "terrorist" act? Would any demonstration of violence in pretty much any scenario constitute "terror?"

     

    Insurance companies hate him! The one secret insurance companies don't want you to know about.

  8. So he sets up a go-fund me after the attack, then goes on vacation, then comes back broke. Odd.

     

    Still unfortunate about the insurance thing. PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF. Why even bother paying for insurance these days if theyre just going to deny your claim 60% of the time?

  9. I have a 42" that we use in a corner mount by just using a swivel arm mounted on one wall. The arm I have isn't anywhere near fully extended to get it there.

     

    As long as it is not a plasma I don't see any issues with the newer fairly light TVs even with the arm extended all the way.

     

    This is kind of what I'm wondering. If the arm extends enough to put the TV at 45* to the corner. Wally world sells them for under $100, and has excellent reviews. Reading the reviews didn't quite answer my question.

  10. Anyone using a wall mount for a large tv (60+) in the corner? The way our living room is configured only leaves us with 1 option for the tv, which is in the corner. The stand we have now sticks out too far so a wall mount is going to be necessary.

     

    Searching around, i'm seeing the swiveling mounts, but not sure how something like that would work in a corner with a larger tv. Almost looks like it wouldn't reach. Will i need to make some sort of corner brace that gives the mount something to anchor to? I found this on google images to give you an idea. Id like to try to avoid this if possible. http://oldhousecrazy.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/old-house-crazy-diy-corner-mount-your-flat-panel-tv-without-300-bucks-05.jpg

     

    Thanks for the input.

  11. lol. Between the plywood and the switch/box/power cord, i have about $20 in it. For a 12" disc sander you cant even get close to that, even for a used one. Id rather do it myself and make it the way i want/need it.

     

    I read that the 1/3 hp motor might be underpowered for this application, but i have zero problems with it bogging down under load.

  12. Spent the last few nights working on the disc sander. Started with a 1/3 HP motor i got for free. Began by building the mount for the disc. After a few minutes of research i discovered that a 1/2" pipe is just barely smaller than the diameter of the shaft i have. 10 seconds with a little round sanding barrel on my dremel and it slipped right over the shaft. Drilled a hole and tapped it for a set screw (first time tapping something, woo). The disc itself is just a piece of melamine i had laying around. Used pieces of paper as shims to get the wobbles out.

    Next step was to begin building an enclosure for it.

    Enclosure complete

    Electricals complete. The only thing left is to finish the wood. Im having a hard time deciding if i want to varnish it or paint it. I am thinking some weird random color but i like the wood too.
