  • 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.




  • Solo I tend to pick scout just for laziness of getting around quickly. Normally only run simple mission types this way.

    In group play I mostly do driller. Even if I’m useless the whole mission I can make up for it with B lining to extraction point. Overall I just like the feel of the class and that I am always making an easy to use hole to where we’re going and use later. (Don’t worry about the one that leads through a ceiling to my and your death. I’m sure it won’t be a problem later in the mission.)

    That said I do like all the classes and mix in a healthy share of gunner and engi keeping overall ranks semi near each other.


  • 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.
