My wife bought an old office chair that wouldn't stay up or even rise at all when you spin it. She asked me to look at it and see if I could fix it.

I doubt it, honey.



My wife's wouldn't stay up, either. I put an old pair of Vise-Grips on it a year ago.

dude on skytv who lived on the fourth floor says the only reason he is alive is because the guy whose kitchen exploded went around knocking on doors. he also said he had a hard time escaping through the smoke from a low floor and that the only (!) stairway was lined with gas pipes (!!!) so this is probably going to be a bad one

Does it look to anyone else like the side panels are made out of glass?

Even if it's tempered & say, 1/4" thick, it shouldn't even really stand up to what is (or was) in there already. And that is assumng the brackets on the steel are fairly large & spreading the load around.

Jesus, that reminds me of that oil-well-pump-checker that got skewered through the giblets to his truck by one of those pipe gates - he was driving into the setting sun & failed to see that the gate had swung across the track. The pipe sealed the wound; they cut the pipe in the cab & took him to the hospital with the pipe in place. He survived.

Can someone explain? I don't know what that thing is. It just looks like a screwdriver to me.

It means that there is 110 -220VAC running through the water supply lines somewhere, and that you should be wearing your well-insulated shoes whilst showering or washing your hands.

I'm the ceiling tile that got blown up by the displaced air as the cart sailed by.

I almost forgot to remove a necklace with a (civilian) steel dogtag on it. The set-up tech didn't notice it.

I haven't had another since a heart surgeon installed a titanium ring in my left atrium. I know, intellectually, that titanium is non-ferrous. On an instinctual level, however, I harbour a small degree of trepidation about my next trip through the doughnut.

Wait til you find out about the plethora of trucks driving down busy surface streets with their "off-road only" 10 gajillion lumun LED bars lit up like a miniature sun. Which cops happily drive by on their way to nab someone doing 46 in a 45.

Just saw this Saturday night in Phila. A Dodge Bro-rider with an enormous LED rig mounted in, or under, the front bumper (I couldn't really get a close look because I value my night-vison & retinas). Wouldn't have been so bad maybe if it was. I don't know, pointed down towards the pavement. But no.

There have been a number of planes that have crashed due to pilot sleep deprivation, where they are breaking their yokes trying to push down when the auto pilot is pulling up because they just don't know what's going on anymore. Regional airline pilots generally live like 6 guys in a 1 bedroom because they earn so little and fly so many hours.

Reading Patrick Smith's Ask The Pilot blog, including such delightful poverty hacks as how to cook ramen in a hotel-room coffee maker, is as frightening as it is depressing

My son sent me this from his job, this morning.



I told him to stay as far away from it as possible, particularly when it was in operation.

He expressed his desire to keep himself intact and stayed on the other side of the warehouse.

Apparently, it's scheduled for maintenance. Soon.

Personally I think it would be better if they did put additional effort into animating extraneous detail, like looks of horror on everyone's faces and people tripping as they fall in the background.

Perhaps they could work with our neighbors to the north.
