Then don't click the link

Exactly. I was wondering why I was getting recommendations for hydraulic presses and lug terminal tools from amazon...

Amazon probably already has our data and correlation between our accounts and what we purchase or search. If Sean buys lube by the gallon, amazon thinks we also need to buy lube by the gallon, damn it’s a data cookie pirate conspiracy.

Click the link and Amazon will show you more suggested items like the one to click. Blowup dolls and anal plugs are based off of Sean’s search history and verbal topics around his phone.

No; that made the statement false. His phone has nothing to do with your Amazon account. Amazon's recommended items are based off of your search, browse, and purchase history compared against people who have similar search, browse, and purchase histories. Then the system advertises new stuff to you based on what similar people have purchased. The additional stuff from the passive listening on your phone/ browser then comes from signed in accounts and cookies. Email someone about post hole diggers and an axe? Yep - Amazon will show you some good axes and clippers. Send a message checking if you need to pick up trash bags on the way home? Sure and here are some common items other people have purchased with trash bags.

You said you hated it when I went in dry.

There is no passive listening from my phone or devices.

I pretty sure anyone who post links from amazon and we click them, cookies are recorded and with correlation match with algorithms and those recommended items will show up based off of thier search, browse, and purchase history as well.

I have never looked up some of recent tools that were shown on here, yet they appear on my recommended list the next week

To piggy back off Adam on the citric acid. It worked really good to clean a 50+ year old tractor disc. I had wire wheeled it A LOT and then he tells me to soak it in citric acid. Soaked it and it was 10x cleaner than I could ever have got it.
I had some leak out of the trash can it was soaking in and ran down to the grass didn't die.

How long did you soak it for?

Also its a great general cleaner. You can use it as a degreaser and general kitchen cleaner replacement also. Used it to get some oil spots off my driveway also. Its really good shit.

Going back off-topic: Open the link in a Private Window and it should not get tied to your account or your search history.

Back on-topic: y'all have me curious about this citric acid...

Rich and I know a guy who used to work the docks at a port. Their main product being offloaded was condensed orange juice. Due to being around it all the time and driving through it his Tacoma rusted out real quick. Just be sure to keep an eye on heavy acids and neutralize them when the jobs done.

I believe that. The steel comes out of the dunk 100% rust free, but within minutes it's already starting to flash rust due to being 100% stripped of any protective layer

Can't remember if I posted this guy the other day. I have used this thing even more than I thought I would. Seriously contemplating picking up the 60V grinder now as well...

Had some warranty work done to my compressor yesterday. The air regulator needed to be changed out, which is something I could've done myself but for the amount of money I paid for this thing...I said fuck it they can fix it under the warranty. The guys who came out to fix the compressor said I was one of the few people they had seen that actually installed the anti-vibe pads lol

Once they were done, I hooked up the compressor to the new regulator. This a temporary setup. When I buy a house and move into it, all of this will be hard-piped in.

I left my compressor on the pallet for the anti-vibration pad. :)
