When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

I mean, with the increased amount of youtube videos and popularity of train surfing it's probably something they have to account for when sifting through this wreckage, which is a pretty OSHA task in itself.
I get the feeling security is an increasingly more difficult task for rail workers. Every dumb gently caress and adventure tourist is now out there trying to hop onto trains because they watched on the internet and it looked easy.

i knew an Occupy fella who was a compulsive liar (oh i was special forces in Iraq) who called himself Cowboy who, after a near fight where I pointed out his compulsive lying, he promptly ran off to a rail yard, hopped the first train he assumed was going to California, got busted in Buffalo New York, and when he called another occupy fella to bail him out (this is a 7 hour car ride away) instead asked this fellow about putting a down payment in his name for loving Star Citizen of all things.

Also played a few shows with anarchist bands who would travel via train hopping, i walked past a pair of ladies airing out their pits, one of whom was loudly complaining that she "stank like gas station hot dogs" as i was on my way to go get dinner at a gas station.

i didn't get the dogs.

Has to do with sweating the toilet flange onto the pipe, if its not pvc.

It was mentioned a page back IIRC

e Yep

Hugh Malone posted:

same.

not sure what you would have to sweat on a toilet flange though? maybe trying to repair the flange? seems dumb, someone please help


e: asked my buddy, apparently older homes without pvc have a setup where you gotta sweat the flange on. ffffunnnnn

Yup. Hunter Harrison was a "railroad industry darling" for a while (until he died, anyway). Well, the investors loved him, because he did exactly this. Defer maintenance, extract as much money as he can in a short time for his buddies, then resign and move onto the next company. Rinse, repeat, and then the problem of letting rails go to hell comes up.

Hunter Harrison was the CEO of CP and now the fruits of his "labor" are now appearing and how. Expect to see a flurry of poo poo like this. He also wanted to merge CP and CSX but the US Department of Defense came in and said "LOL NO YOU AREN'T" because that would mean a foreign company would be handling critical hauling contracts for them. He then left CP for CSX shortly after, then died while at CSX.

I'd guess a private airstrip where someone's put down a layer of asphalt and called it a day - probably worked just fine so long as people were content to use prop aircraft.

e: Is prop/jet rating of runways a thing?

most small commercial jets have engines that are higher up on the fuselage than someone's rare ww2 hot rod jet

That's a pure jet engine. Most modern jet engines are turbo-fan jet engines. There's a big fan in the front of the cowling that sucks in cold air, and blows it out in a ring around the super hot jet exhaust from the center section. This both makes it way more efficient and makes it way less noisy. As a nifty side effect it also keeps you from power-blow torching the runway apart.

Sorta like comparing a big air gun to a blowtorch, similar air-make-go-fast technologies, wildly different operating temperatures of the bulk exhaust gasses.
