I mean, you'll realize there is a problem as soon as you flush the toilet. That gallon+ of water is going straight through the drywall. I wonder what actually happened. People repost social media videos with made up captions on the daily

It looks like it was landing on an air return duct, so it may have actually spread the water out enough for them to not immediately notice, especially if it’s in an oft-unused space.

recently had an old dude singing the praises of selling his sissy modern table saw and buying a Beaver combi, which adds a RAS and a ton of exposed belts everywhere just to make sure someone dies every time you turn it on. It's a way of life man

I think I'll inherit the table saw my grandfather made 40 years ago. Still runs fine and the table is in... Okay shape. The gate is really not very good I guess, I think maybe the table and gate came from some other equipment he had at the time.

I'm the off center stringers. Wait a tic. The right stringer started off straight up top, but then went to the center???? Never mind. That's a shadow playing tricks.

I'm just assuming Adi is for Adolf, like in Adidas.* Not that it matters, he couldn't pick what his parents named him, but it gives the story a little interesting twist. "Adolf from Third Reich and a homeless man built a deathtrap"... It could also be a Hebrew name, but Astl sounds to me more like German than Yiddisch or Hebrew surname and something tells me that in 1944 Adi was not super popular among Jews because of the connection.

Sorta like how spray painting a huge dong around a pothole makes the city come fix them, if you make something the city *has to fix* to avoid lawsuits, you can sometimes cut in line. Or they paint over the dicks and leave the huge pothole as a 'gently caress you' and move you to the bottom of the pile. Also the city really does NOT like it when you rent the hot-patch machine from the local asphalt plant and fix all the potholes in your neighborhood yourself.

Didn't dominos pizza do that last but somewhere and put their logo painted on the filled in potholes? In Vancouver like any city we don't have perfect roads but I once called about a bad pothole on a side street near me and it was fixed the following day.
