Even if he had the mix already decided... he did it all by eye. It's still impressive.

On the one hand it is easy to stage, on the other he's eyeballing it and getting it pretty much right. Thing is there's only so many different colors these manufacturers use and a lot of them are shared across manufacturers. Work that job long enough and you'll know exactly what color's what and how to make it.

Yeah, like I said, while it is easy to stage...don't bet against an old craftsman in asia. Here's one that you can't fake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsTIMxeO_ng Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Aug 1, 2023 |

ded posted:most 2wd vehicles are actually only 1wd yeah, but in that case when a car has an open (non-locked, non-positraction, w/e) differential, the wheel with the least resistance will be the one that spins. This isn't normally a problem on the road, but if one of your wheels is off the ground (like when you are rock-crawling or doing wacky poo poo in Saudi Arabia) - the wheel off the ground should just spin meaninglessly and you can't get power to the ground. The alternative is you have some sort of device in the differential (locker, posi-traction, etc) that forces power to both wheels for a true 2WD. And hell even with a posi you have to ride the brake a little bit to get the clutch pack to actually engage at times if a wheel is completely off the ground. I still don't understand how this works unless they have customized the car to specifically allow this via brake bias between L/R. ROJO fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Aug 1, 2023 |

sigher posted:Don't paint shops have computers that do the mixing as well and you just need the ratios? For auto paint you get a paint code and it translates Into weighted ratios from the paint manufacturer catalog. There a lot of variables especially when you deal with like 3 stage metalic paints and different brands of paint and different paint systems will hive different results so it's done by a trained hand. Usually the guy will mix up 3 or 4 paint samples to see which one looks closest to whatever your trying to match up. With body work you also have to account for age of a vehicle when blending into old paint so you don't end up with blotches. Like shampooing a stain in an old carpet will look brighter than the rest of the carpet is almost as bad as the stain itself. Then you have to account for how the air flows through the paint booth, how the gun itself sprays, and obviously the prep. There is a reason good autobody painters make 200k a year.

Little late to light bulb chat but guy I knew in the early 90s got $400/bulb plus expenses. He required that the customer pay to replace all bulbs on the tower at each climb.

This came from our civil subcontractor, putting base rock around the track we built before it gets paved. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a call about it yet.  The track is locked out from the main, but still.

So what happens if this guy falls? With ladder dude or even on a tree I can see possibly sorting it out yourself, but this guy is just going to be hanging in space unless someone pulls him up.

Given that the alternative is hanging in space for a very brief period of time, I'd guess he calls somebody on his cell phone and thanks his lucky stars while he waits. (and hopes he doesn't get suspension trauma / compartment syndrome)

Without being able to see his full rig, my guess is he has ascenders clipped to his gear, probably with foot straps. It's not a super fun thing to have sort out while you're hanging in your harness but it sure beats the alternative. And most good harnesses these days have suspension trauma safety straps in little pouches at your hips, you pop them open and step into the loops so you can atleast shift your weight around and have a little more of a fighting chance if you are stuck hanging. edit: Watching it again, he definetely has ascenders both on his tether and the working line he has on the unit itself.
