Why do you think everyone just has a photo like that lmfao what

The thing about Arsenal is they always try to walk it in

At my hospital, we’re not allowed to accept gifts like this. Bought food or a nice written note naming staff would be best. For nurses, you can also nominate them for a daisy award

Oh damn foreal? My tax return is close to 8K

As an older person, let me reassure you: younger people can be fascinating and have very different/interesting/fresh perspectives.

Try to enter conversations knowing you are worthy of anyone's respect and attention. Don't be a conceited jerk who thinks they know better than everyone else, but don't discount yourself, either.

Yup, had mine on a schedule. And had it programmed to come on when I said "hey Google, it stinks in here"

Home prices are being driven by big, systemic things that have only accelerated since COVID. I don't think things are going to climb upwards indefinitely, but the income inequities found in a massive pool of remote workers that is only getting bigger is something that wasn't as prevalent in 2008.

Eh, I sold a house in the Northeast US using photos taken in March. Didn't have any issues.

Follow your wacky!

Just FWIW, I would ask this over in r/justrolledintotheshop and see what you get. My instinct would be, no, they're not going to say yes. Way too much liability, and they're not going to risk losing a $175 ratchet to someone who just walked in off the street. But this may be a cultural thing, in the US, a mechanic's tools (outside of dealer-specific or diagnostic stuff like scan tools) are not the property of the shop, but are their own personal ones. The idea being, if they get another job, they simply roll their toolbox out and bring everything to the next job.

Mechanics are infamous for not letting co-workers borrow tools, you think some rando asking to do a serpentine belt change in the parking lot is going to be any better?

The better option is parts stores - at least in the US, most auto parts places have loaner tool programs, where you pay a deposit to get the tool for 30 days or so. And most parts places, unlike auto shops, don't mind as much if you have to replace an alternator in the parking lot. This is also great as a DIYer who doesn't need certain tools (like O2 sensor sockets) all of the time, but maybe once every few years.

In addition to this, please don't post pictures of the local parks or "scenes". I can go on Google Maps and see what your local park with all the ducks looks like. I want to see the property I actually would own.

When I was a kid and my bike broke, I will just stop in front of the service station and start fiddling with it until someone came out with some tools.

If you got the vehicle to the garage door where I can monitor where my tools are, yeah, I’ll help you out. If you only need a simple tool(s) that I have plenty of cheap duplicates of, I’ll give you those to carry down the road. Beyond that, no. It’s not my fault you didn’t buy a tool kit for your car.

Best to ask someone who uses Quicken products in the US.

Thing is, it sounds like you’re not making enough money to be having to pay for tax returns; you should just be able to do the web-based free filing.

Do you do before and after pics from the annual fires instead?

3-4 days of ice easy, even without pre-cooling. The other thing I like about the smallest Roadie is that there's no drain valve - I had an Engel before, and it always leaked a little bit.

Are you going to elaborate as to why you think women should do this?

Wow, mechanics sure are generous.

My woodworking tools are too precious to me to lend them out!

Okay got it thanks so much!

I like to help people learn how to wrench on their vehicles. I’d rather do that then get paid for it. People are surprised how easy it is to do brakes and other general maintenance that costs a lot at a shop or dealer.

unless your house is shit then winter pics only, even in summer

You're serious aren't you ?

Yeah I forgot to mention that you should return them, where I live in England (Devon) I have had a lot of mechanics allow me to borrow tools.

On behalf of all mechanics, please return the tools promptly and make sure they are clean. Most people refrain from loaning tools out because they never return them.
