  • Probably. You’d be amazed at what someone with a regular license is allowed to drive. Such as the International CXT. Basically made to be just under specs that require a CDL. (To my knowledge it is mostly a weight thing. Like 26000 pounds and CDL is needed. 25999 pounds? you’re fine without.)

    The laws are pretty arbitrary and leave a lot to be desired. Which is also why you see some sketchy driving by people driving the large U-Haul box trucks and other moving rental companies. Same with trailers/campers. Any random can hook up an oversized/improperly loaded trailer to their little Ford escape and drive about.



  • Used to have cheapo 12v hitachi. Its poor little clutch didn’t fair well when I asked it to drive several 5 inch lags.

    DeWalt what I use now. Received a 6ish tool kit as a present a while back. They all get light use but the sawzall is certainly the most used. Diablos 3tpi blade makes for a great and violent pruner.

    No more cheap bits though. Driver or drill. (Sockets too.)The level of annoyed and frustrated cheap bits makes for just isn’t worth it. Drivers hold better, strip less, and last longer. Drills go through material faster, break less, hold an edge longer.



  • Sony Xperia 1 III. Aside from server issues in the first few days this month with Lemmy the Jerboa app has been working well. Seems fairly close enough ish to RiF for me. Really probably has a lot more going on than RiF ever did. Some mild stuff to get used to but overall a good experience. Was happy to see the ability to change the post sizes to smaller so I can see more at a given time.








  • As a kid my state didn’t permit or sell projectile type fireworks to the public. Just fountain, snakes, sparklers, etc. But that didn’t stop us, or anyone, from just driving into the next state over to get the good stuff then come on back to where they were illegal to fire them off.

    Some places, despite any potential law, don’t care one way or another. Where I grew up no one cared so long as you didn’t cause a fire. That was rural though. In general those areas operate differently.

    Where I live now is a suburb. I could get away with doing some fireworks on a non-holiday but doing too much of a display or too frequently and I would likely run into issues. Though doesn’t stop some people.
