kimihia posted:Power company came to disconnect the power. But all the fuses are mislabeled. When the place was sub-divided they had a few different numbering schemes. One numbering scheme is used for mail. One is used for the council. One is used for the power company fuses. Then the electrician came to mend the cable. He pulled, and pulled. There was an extra metre of cable down there in a gigantic loop, which he chopped out and spliced. Then buried again. Why does mail need its own buried powerline?

Our new friend from the power company wasn't impressed either. He had me stand by my power box and yell out when it went off, then he corrected the labels.

I used to have a customer who sold these who gave me a bunch of samples. They tend to bind up and bend/snap pins on anything more than really light work. I gave one to my kid to play with and she loves it.

They work, until they break because you tried to use it with too much torque. The best application is when you have a lot of weird shape fasteners you need to unscrew, like wing nuts or square nuts.

Wingnuts that spin on mostly with a good flick of the fingers are satisfying and blessed. Wingnuts that need to be grunted on for every revolution are cursed.

mobby_6kl posted:tl;dr: these are the only officials I wouldn't gently caress with. I can argue technicalities with the local cops until they get bored but these guys can deny entry/boarding for no reason and completely screw up your plans I used to work as a games journalist, and most industry events are in the USA. Most people traveling from Finland to the states don’t need a visa, but journalists of any kind, even fake-rear end ones like us professional enthusiasts, do. Since getting one is time consuming and kind of a pain in the rear end, the official policy for our staff was to go without a visa and lie to the officials about your reason for visiting the country. Weirdly enough I refused and got myself a loving visa. Several guys from the staff are no longer allowed in the USA (and a couple in Canada) after getting caught in a lie, but apparently that’s worth it to preview a loving video game.

Runway 3880', min landing length for a DC-6 is ~3100'. I feel like if there hadn't been a gaggle of lookieloos parked on the drat end of the runway his approach angle would have been better.

Cable Guy posted:The rock-piles help Yeah, ripping the landing gear off definitely helps to reduce stopping distance by quite a bit. And in a good example of "why don't planes have these", there were approximately two runways in the world that could support the ground pressure these monster tires created. Production B-36 models used bogies with multiple smaller wheels instead that spread the weight out over a larger area.
