What he probably thinks it means is the other thing demonstrated in that video: Which is left-foot braking. It's also legit but you probably shouldn't be doing that unless you're in a rally, however. Here it is, calmly explained by Colin McRae while he's flying through a forest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMEqOGejlrw

I noticed this old disconnect switch: I worked in a football stadium where the main fiber optic ingress and the circuit breakers for half the rooms were in the coaches showers We had a half rack of equipment in there that lived under the bucket of sweaty towels and bottles of shampoo

I remember taking an intro to engineering course and learning that when you design a bridge, you figure the maximum weight it can carry based on it being covered in humans, since a tightly-packed crowd of people actually weighs a lot more per square meter than vehicles. Since then I've been really wary of group photos taken on balconies, docks, etc.

What about high vehicles though? Unless you calculate the humans standing on each others' shoulders.

People in a crowd and empty double-decker busses have roughly the same lb/sqft ratio.

My friend's 16 year old (at the time) brother once had a huge party while their parents were away for a few days. It wasn't long before this happened to the deck. The next day he got a bunch of his friends together to salvage it and started to make a new deck, which was completed before his folks returned home. Obviously the parents noticed as soon as they saw the teenage craftsmanship but his dad gave him props for fixing his own fuckup.

chitoryu12 posted:I'd honestly be really impressed if my kid wrecked part of the house and his response was "Completely rebuild it before I notice." This happened to me a couple times and yeah the reaction was generally favourable. A friend had parents that often left for 3-4 days so there were a bunch of house parties over there and there were of course a bunch of damage over the years. When a wall got wrecked for example we cut it open, reset a proper gypsum panel between two beams, plastered, sanded twice and primed the wall. Kind of a double take moment when you come home and one of your walls is now white but hey could be worse. After a few years we build up an actually impressive cache of repair consumables and tools over there and the "core" group got really defensive about protecting the property when parties got out of hand. Of course the whole thing was OSHA as gently caress because this was a few years before the ubiquity of DIY videos on youtube so imagine a bunch of hung over kids trying to figure that stuff out from old rear end home repair books picked at random in a panic from the library, playing with power tools.

surebet posted:This happened to me a couple times and yeah the reaction was generally favourable. Some friends of mine in university had a party at the apartment they rented (2 floors, 4 bedrooms) and some idiot (that they never found) spent the whole night punching holes in the upstairs walls before they figured out it was happening and kicked everyone out. In all, there were ~30 fist sized holes in 3 different bedrooms, the upstairs bathroom, and the hallway. The holes were typically a foot apart, so there were 8 sheets of drywall that were total write-offs and a remaining 10 holes that only needed patching or a small piece replaced. They contacted a contractor, but he quoted them ~2000 bucks in total, so I offered to do it for 500 (they buy the materials and tools). Took me three days (a day longer than I thought) and they repainted the whole place. The landlord remarked that the place looked cleaner than when they moved in, and they got the entire deposit back. I often wondered if a person could make a decent living in a college/university town by advertising as an "after party" contractor who does work fast (but charges through the nose).

I don't know about purely being an "after party" contractor, but specifying that in your services could easily get you a ton of clients. We've got a hole in our shower from where an errant lean against the railing caused it to break through a weak part of the tile. I'm seriously considering just teaching myself how to fill holes in tile walls so I can patch it up in a day and wait for the whole thing to eventually get replaced with a newer setup.

This all makes me think of the tic tac toe method of drywall repair. Cheap, easy, and quick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zop6ND1h4o

Just saying you're a contractor that works fast would probably get you a ton of clients. Don't even need the after party part.

There's a square of drywall in the hole as well so yeah, that's incorrect.

Just getting a reputation for showing up when you loving say you will would get you many clients as a contractor. EDIT: And ideally doing it within 2-4 weeks of the client calling.
