Toupee Groupie posted:I work at a hardware store. Someone rented a tow behind earth drill. The owner got a phone call at 2ish in the morning to let us know that the earth drill was found a cemetery after drilling a whole into a grave. It went into the casket. The person(s) were not there, and the police wanted to know who the renter was. I don't know more, other than we won't be getting the drill back for a while due to it being evidence. I'm way behind on this thread but it doesn't look like you ever posted about this again. You ever get any more details? Stealing bodies? Someone buried with a family heirloom that someone was pissed about?

You'd think oil would be flammable and not really good for that type of application then again I'm a smooth brained simpleton.

Poohs Packin posted:You'd think oil would be flammable and not really good for that type of application then again I'm a smooth brained simpleton. While this appears to be a water quench, you can get some mild flammability on an oil quench. Usually you get some right at the surface point where the item you're quenching goes into the oil. Once the item is fully immersed though, there is no oxygen under the surface to promote combustion, and the oil itself rapidly dissipates the heat, which is the whole point of quenching in the first place. The oils themselves as well are not overly flammable to begin with, and usually can not sustain self-combustion without an outside heat source to feed the combustion process.

Aren't they shaping the gear too? It looks different at the end to how it does at the start.

I used to watch a lot of forged in fire and they oil quench their blades on that Occasionally they get a mild fireball if the blade is too hot, but it's over quickly as the blade is submerged

Bloody Hedgehog posted:I walked in on a guy washing his hair in a public toilet once. Door wide open, no shame on that guy. There were working sinks directly across from the toilets, so I guess some mental issues that made him pick the toilet for hair washing instead of the sink. There's one specific urinal in the nearby bathroom at work that I swear someone shaves his loving pubes in.

thehandtruck posted:the toilet in my apartment is flooding and i called the maintenance team but they said the on call guy is sleeping so im diligently reading this thread and studying the gifs to find a fix I had an upstairs neighbor's toilet flooding in my first apartment, water coming down through my ceiling. I went up and asked about the water, they said they called maintenance, I left it at that. Later, maintenance came to my place and I learned that they just let it flood, not knowing they could turn the valve behind the toilet to stop the water from flowing. They ended up having to repaint my ceiling and did a lovely job. So, um, turn the valve behind the toilet to stop the water from flowing.

That is the water feed that refills the toilet when it flushes What is "the thing"? If the water is coming out of the steel tube or its connection to the toilet, turning the valve should stop it, but the toilet won't flush until the steel tube is replaced and the valve turned back on If "the thing" is the valve itself, this is beyond self-repair and you need to wake up the on call guy

Also fill a bucket from the sink / bath / shower to use for flushing, while the water feed to the cistern is turned off. You may need more than one bucketfull to flush fully, but it'll work in lieu of the cistern

Someone buried with a family heirloom that someone was pissed about? So, due to the criminal nature, I don't know much more other than the person who rented the drill was related to the departed. We haven't got the drill back because it is still evidence. I don't want to be the person who cleans the augers when we get it back (if they got into the casket). Our deck sander was just wrecked because, even though we have them sign something stating that they will take care of the screws or nails sticking up before standing, the person thought that he could sand down the nails instead of tacking them down. One of our lawn aerators came back with tangled fiber cable because whoever buried the FIOS service in someone's yard just put it two inches under the grass, and like 200 people lost their internet. I hope we don''t have to tell people now to get diggers hotline out cause of the lovely FIOS installs that are going on.

Huh, when we get equipment used in criminal activity we usually get a call from the cops yelling at us to come get our stuff out of their way. I've had to go on active arrest scenes to tow poo poo out of the way and the cops didn't even ask me my name.

Save the water for your crops. Brawndo has electrolytes and is not what plants crave. You can turn the thing. It's like Russian roulette. 5 out of 6 times the water stops until the dud can come and fix it. The sixth possibility is the handle falls off in your hand and the water really starts flowing. Do you feel luck? Don't do it. you are not that lucky! e: A little slow. Play the lottery today. You proved me wrong. Harry_Potato fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Sep 18, 2023 |
