    Geometry wiz kid needed.

    My dual slope laser went out now I’m forced to use my single slope one in the meantime, problem is I’m working on a dual slope project. So the question is how to calculate the direction and slope needed to aim the single slope laser to accomplish a dual slope. The project has a -.5% grade on...

    My gas well keeps freezing

    The underlying problem is too much moisture in the gas. Have them address this and it all goes away

    My gas well keeps freezing

    One , your gas is wet. The supplier needs to put a dryer in. Second the freezing is caused by a pressure drop across a pressure regulator valve. They can change the pressure drop or install 2 valves and divide the drop between the two valves. Third opinion is they install a heater on the line...

    FIRE EMERGENCY in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. 01/07/2025. Winds of 60-100mph forecast tonight that will accelerate Palisades blaze.

    That’s the state of mind they have been brainwashed into. While trying to speak through that fucking mask (that says a lot right there) pleading for help because I can’t do anything, asking the great one for his blessings and generous charity, It’s fucking discussing. After hurricane Andrew I...

    Reminds me of the old refrigerators that would shock you when the humidity was high and if it was raining it would buckle your knees sometimes and all the grownups would say “ I don’t know why it does that, uncle Fred said it’s hooked up correctly.

    Knife fight to the death between a Russian and Ukraine soldier.

    Use the tool you have and practice accordingly. This is how martial arts, in this case judo is supposed to be administered, quick and unapologetic. Knives, guns, sticks or hands should be deployed in the same manner.

    Watched that show with my teenage daughter the other day. She likes the classic stuff like movies and music. She plays piano and guitar and her teacher says all the students like the 70-80s rock.

    Knife fight to the death between a Russian and Ukraine soldier.

    We used to have monthly knife fights when training. Sometimes We would all wear an old gi and fight with red markers. After a minute of fighting we would be amazed at all the cuts and stabs there were. That training did save my life once when I was in a fight with a guy with a screwdriver.

    Bad idea. If you realized how difficult it is to get time correct and distribute it throughout the systems that are very time sensitive. I’ll give you one small example. At any power plant there are dozens of systems that must match time precisely for them to work together and function properly...

    In 10th grade in 79 I broke the ball off my humerus and shoved the bone 4 inches up playing football in second period pe. Couldn’t move my arm at all. The coach said I probably dislocated it and sent me on my way. Spent the rest of the day at school and rode the bus home for an hour. By that...

    I have a mid 60’s international harvester 190 with a 549ci gas engine in it that I will give to someone that is interested in fixing it up. Has a hydraulic dump bed, we used it for a grain truck. Was running fine when we parked it about 15 years ago. No time to get it running myself and hate...

    I hope so but we could have 8 years of it, if we’re alive that long.

    Sorry I’m late to the 1911 party, I’m old and don’t move around like I use to. But I did get to see a lot of Europe back in the mid 40’s

    Ok- so hear me out, I've got a theory about music appreciation.

    I’m old, was raised on old county music that my parents listened to. When I was 10 or so I started listening to the dreaded rock music of the 70’s and in the late 70’s and 80’s got to see a lot of the greats in their prime. I still listen to the old stuff rock/blues and country, but like a few...

    Let’s see, there’s a strange somewhat threatening man behind me so I’m just going to attempt to defuse the situation by engaging in diplomacy all the while holding my 1 year old child with one hand. When diplomacy failed I was in disbelief so I grabbed my child and turned my back to him. This...

    Why are we not talking about the devastation in Western NC, TN, and other places?

    In 57 I went with my dad and 4 other family members to texas to help family dig out of the aftermath of Audrey. Since then I’ve helped out family, friends and sometimes myself do the same after just about every major storm that’s hit texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. In the 80s I went to work...
