someone heated this up with a torch, it's not electrical. the washer would also be glowing in spots due to the lovely contact and the insulator would be bubbling/melting from the inside instead of roasted by a flame from the outside.

Isn't heating it with a torch a common way to get stuck bolts free? Or have all those gold mining shows been lying to me :ohdear:

That jolt from releasing the clutch (because the engines rpm doesn't match the speed at the new gear) isn't usually a problem but in racing it can be enough to push the tires over their limit, making the car lose grip.

The truly hardcore do this with their automatics too

How often do people actually get their home renovations/addons inspected. I assume there is a fee with getting it inspected and passed?

Last renovation I did the only actual fee was the building permit. At the end I called some number and a couple days later I had some inspection report saying it was fine.

The permit prices here are based on estimates of the renovation

You can buy condensed soup, but it's not really that much of a price break around here and doesn't have the volume of variety so I don't know why you'd do it

And there's the fact that somebody seems to have intentionally sent it into the people. Has to have been some kind of personal injury insurance scam or vendetta against somebody in the group or something.

It wasn't intentional, the story is up someplace, happened at the Cowboys stadium after a highschool tournament or something. That orange foam thing fell and jammed into the pedal while they were cleaning up the sidelines

Why didn't you tell somebody? Dumbass could have started a fire.

If the company is that inept they deserve to have their electricity stolen. Guy at my company started up the software bitcoin miner a few years ago on a mostly idle rarely used lab computer. It was noticed within 24h and he was reprimanded, then fired a week later when he did it again. God forbid actually setting up hardware in the server room.
