In all my Ubering, I only had one driver that came close to this. (The rest I try to gently persuade, and had some success yesterday!)
We got into a discussion on 2A, and out of a box he proudly pulled a new lower. He said he had a Cali. liberal commie that reported him because he said he had a CCW and he got banned from driving for Lyft.
Got an Uber in College Station TX. Lady showed up in a 4 door Superduty.

Sure it’s an invasive species. But, I think they just suffer from poor branding. Redclaw crawfish? How about Longhorn Lobster…
 
Built a few 80%er 1911s (but sadly lost them all in a boating accident) lots of time after rough cutting the rails to file/fit/lap but when you are done it is awesome 🙂
Took me about 3 hours of solid work, first with file, then flat--plate with 240-grit paper on it. Then stones. Then lapping with 180 Grit Clover compound. It has just a bit of 'rock' to it and is buttery smooth. Should have a barrel soon.

It's going to be a beauty. Will probably post most of the pictures when I really get going in vintage... Start a 1911 build thread;.

Cheers,

Sirhr

Nice! Takes me 10 - 15 hour with those special files from Brownells and then the 600, 800 grit lapping compound. Then I get my buddy to cerekote everything and then fit it again 🤣
 
The quarter system is used for measuring rough cut lumber. It simply refers to how many 1/4 inches the rough wood stock equals. To put it simply, rough cut lumber is labeled as:

  • 5/4 stock = lumber that is 1 1/4" wide
  • 6/4 stock - lumber that that is 1 1/2" wide
  • 7/4 stock - lumber that is 1 3/4" wide
  • 8/4 stock - lumber that is 2" wide
  • 10/4 stock - lumber that is 2 1/2" wide
You get the point - every 1/4 is just a quarter inch.

There is also a 1/8 scale on the back.
 
i think people miss the message in the video
We get the message but in a world of fake messages we are getting sick of fake regardless if the message is harmful or benign.

People just want truth.

We can handle it.

The fact Dad got his water pump fixed but still got the Ned Beatty in Deliverance treatment is still a story of value but even more so because of its truth.

Looks like “the boy” forgot the threat to “Let’s never speak of this again, ya hear!”
 
I think people are creating a narrative. That what is the norm in a few small areas is the standard. Videos like that just reinforce that narrative. If you live in a shit hole city, zoo, that's probably the standard. Although there's still plenty of people stuck in those places that would give you the shirt off their back.
