This is a humbling list of skills where I can score only about 70%. On the other hand, that leaves me only 30% to learn.

I wonder what your average Librard scores on this list? BO specifically?

At least it's from "Popular Mechanics" this time.

The last posted list came from GQ.
Go figure.

4. Replace fan belt.

Cut off the old belt with a knife. Inspect for possible causes of failure, such as misaligned pulleys, rubber buildup in the grooves or a worn-out tensioner spring. If everything checks out, install the new belt by unloading the idler pulley and slipping it into place. (Check the owner’s manual; the belt routing can be complex.)

4a. Learn that you should figure out the route of the belt before cutting off the old one because the belt's routing can be complex.

I looked through the first 1/2 of ‘em. I’m at about 90% - 95%. In fact, I bet I have done 25 of the first 50 at least once in the last six months. And as for the Heimlich maneuver (#10 I think) — I’d be happy to practice that one (on her) even if she wasn’t choking.

A great compilation.
Between my Dad (RIP), scouts, and working in a “gas station” as a teen I think I picked up most of them by voting age.

Here’s one not on the list:

Handle a blowout... of the FRONT tire on a motorcycle traveling at 125 mph.

Yeah, I have about 60-70 of those under my belt....some libs might do okay, while others might not have a clue and need the government to help them.

76%. Not bad, remaining is doable.

Great list, I have some to work on. I never ran rapids or touched a sewing machine.

I think driving on snow should be drive on snow/ice as the latter is a whole other ballgame, especially down here when you can get a half-inch of ice on the roads but never see snow.

RE: #80 - Ditch your hard drive.

“Drilling” holes in it is for “city folk”.

Where I live, we put holes in our old computer equipment the old fashioned way... with a large caliber single action revolver.

I didn’t see chopping arougala on there, so I’d guess he’s screwed.

All of these are common knowledge that every man should know. I never understand why a man has to call another man to fix something for him.

This is wrong. The back cut should be above the notch cut. Like this.

Don't use a drill to decommission your hard drives. That's what center-fire rifles are for.

I have a colleague who keeps a little row of decommissioned hard drives on his desk. Each has a hole in it. When asked, and he inevitably is, he announces that it's one for every caliber of rifle he owns. Liberals recoil in horror. Conservatives say, "What, only eight?"
