you can’t force someone to run you god damn idiot

it takes some serious kompromat to pull that off

I was saying “boo-urns”

Klaus will still nail someone’s wife… but it’ll probably be when he forgets to put his forks up to secure a pallet of actual nails

distilled white vinegar, in moderation, can have the same effect, with less severe downsides. my clothes actually dry better with it, since it neutralizes and removes the alkaline detergents that never fully rinse out in a normal water wash. it requires some finesse to know what fabrics to use it on, but I’ve had great results with it

I’m trying to take a more active roll in training new machines operators at my job, and it’s only because the current training manager actively does the opposite of 90% of the stuff on this list. I’m getting tired of being called in to “fix” stuff that’s just an error of bad training.

such a good X-Files lanpoon. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny were actually in it, too. great crossover episode for the era.

same size top/bottom for both; only difference is that the standard has a wider body bevel, and the sleek can goes nearly straight down. same lid on both cans, as well. not sure what it does for the scaled material cost, but since the lid is by far the most expensive part, it’s probably negligible, compared to the ability to inflate the price on a taller can.

I can’t fully explain the trend, but ready-to-drink (RTD) alcoholic beverages are a big hit for the industry, and even moreso when presented in the truly/high noon shape. maybe it’s a generational thing? I don’t get it, but I’m also not the target demographic.

bonus fact: the conversion costs of filling sleek cans is pretty steep for most independent brewers, so craft beer will take a couple years to adapt, if ever.

and both of those cans use the same size lid

I’m finally over the feeling of going into comment sections thinking “there’s too many bots, no reason to try adding to the conversation”

reddit had no middle ground between new posts that get buried and overinflated posts that have a thousand regurgitated phrases plastered all over it

nah, why charge the guy clearly at fault, when you can just pass the bill on to the taxpayers!

I recently had someone complain about a bolt getting hot while they were wrenching it. they created enough friction to notice it heating up. and then kept wrenching it.

also, I’ve started replacing normal bolts with rounded hand-bolts, which are nearly impossible to over-torque, so long as they don’t take a pair of pliers to them.

just watched a sadly hilarious video of a mechanic struggle with reverse threads on highly specific rotating assembly. like, I get it, it’s not immediately obvious, but edit that wrong turn out if you want to make a serious explainer series. also, if you work with pivots that often, you have to expect that shit.

shit, guess I’m replacing the whole thing now

“little bolt no good anymore” - maybe don’t use caveman strength on an 8mm bolt that holds no weight???
