Affordable(?) truck for the working man

Mr.BR
Honestly as a first time owner of a pick up truck , more you use it more you see its quite useless as a working mans vehicle ,concept that was maybe workable in the 50's when shit was not stolen at every corner, once you add a locking box or a hard top you get near useleslly tiny space with high bed and further limited access by 90° droping tailgate that any van can dwarf. If you want to carry lose shit again modern van based flatbeds with 3 180° opening sides run circles around it for Utility .

Today pickup truck is an image thing ,folks like them looks and fancy themselves rugged and maybe works as tow vehicle ,but van beats it 9 times out of 10 in terms of utility and then some.

Toyota has a budget offering rest of the world , but would not expect this to hit US or EU market ever

Help me pick a chassis for a B14R Heavy

In front of mag well is not generally where balance means. If you're shooting prone, it doesn't matter. If you're shooting a tripod, move it 3-4" in front of magwell when you mount it. If you're shooting off a barricade, you should be using a support bag. Half the size of the support bag is the balance point. For me, a shmedium is 8" long, so half of that is 4"

Do they use it for "white noise"? Like running a vacuum for a colicky baby?

I think it is more than the noise, the heat too but who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️

I had heard/read that getting service techs to work on the foreign brands was a PITA, price at the store was good/enticing but getting someone to show up to work on them was another whole story. We bought a Whirlpool SXS back in '18 when we re-did the kitchen, along with a Whirlpool over with the front controls and digital readout.

The fridge developed a leak in the ice maker system and ruined the hardwood flooring under the fridge, and could not get anyone to come fix it under the warranty for about 4 weeks. Had the flooring repaired before the fridge tech showed up, and then he had to order parts, and come back in 2 weeks, so the fridge was moved in/out of the space several times. Luckily, no more marks on the hardwood since I laid some thin cardboard down every time the fridge was moved out. It sounds like a jet engine at times when it does one of it's cycles but still works now.

The digital readout on the oven went wonky right after the warranty ran out and won't display the entire digit so we have to go above or below to get the right temp setting for preheat, which takes FOREVER. LOL But it cooks good, so...

I believe all the parts are made in China or Korea no matter the brand.

Hornady 3-1 vs. other automated case trimmers?

Might consider the lyman case trim express. L3I is making 3 way cutters for i think 60 bucks. I have the 22 cal 3 way cutter but haven't used it yet. Might add 3 way cutters for 6mm and 7mm but i dunno, I don't do large volume like .22 cal. That Hornady seems to expensive. Maybe if it was 200 or 250. Might as well get a Henderson.

I’m not buying or selling here because I’m between the two as well but Hornady is $509 (Brownells) and Henderson with a one caliber cutter is $840. Hornady caliber changes are just a pilot and a Henderson is a different cutter for $60-70 each right?

Plumbers are way worse than HVAC, and at least the HVAC guys can read. Many plumbers are on par with roofers for IQ. There should be an IQ test before the sell you a sawzall.

Don't blame the fucking plumber when the contractor tells you "No we are not going to drop the ceiling I want all the plumbing kept up in a 2x8 joist (or smaller).

I tell the contractor "Ok its your BBQ I'll cook it how you want".....LOL

When the contractor tells you to pack 5lbs of shit in a 2lb bag that's what you get!

What a coinicidence that on the eve of the Canadian election, someone drives into a crowd of dancing LBP's so the liberals can blame it on evil pasty conservatives?

They can't have mass shootings any more, so they have to have those mass-stabbings, mass-SUVing's, Mass Whapping-with-Canoe-Paddles...
