It is, but unfortunately the owners are the threatening auras a lot of the time. It's rare that I see such a poorly run group full of such bigoted, hateful, ignorant people.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I think electric motor failures account for like 10% of pump failures I've experienced, with another 10% being badly installed couplings that munched themselves. It's usually water- side bearing failure, cavitation induced impeller failure or mech seal failure.

Content: I wish I had pictures of the 200 hp twin-screw blower I got to watch start smoking and glowing red recently. The dudes that own it claimed that we misdiagnosed the smoke pouring off it, and it was just "oil mist" from the breather cap falling off, so we tried running it again, and I got to to watch it blow the breather caps off the oil sump and start glowing cherry red through a FLIR when we tried running it again.

Don't you love how the lubricating oil for those big compressors is like $1,000/gallon too

Technically not legal (at least in the US) unless the manufacturer also provides the consumables for free, but good luck fighting that fight.

I was like "o hey he is going back to hit the estop" because I was just wondering why no one was hitting any estop at any point. Turns out he needed his phone to film it i guess.

The way they stand around watching multiple times is really worrying, especially when you witness the complete and utter destruction that comes moments later

drat, are you lucky. Ball joint failures tend to end poorly.

My wife reminds me of the time her family of six was piled into the station wagon to go to the drive-in. As her father backed out of the driveway, one of the lower ball joints let go and the wheel just folded.

Forty years later, he was still shaking his head when he recalled that evening, thinking about what might have been.

I had a ball joint fail on my 1989 Jetta Diesel and it ripped the entire assembly off at a stop light, glad we were not going fast.

The fun part was having to tell the tow truck I could be found at the intersection in front of the Porn store.

There's so much schmutz I can't really tell, but at the very least the ball joint has come out of the spindle, which is very unusual. It doesn't look like the ball joint separated. So maybe the spindle cracked? Also looks like the ball joint sliced up the CV boot, hence that particular schmutz all over.
