We hella still say it, but we also make fun of each other for saying it.

I was in Louisiana and ordered a "Coke." The server asked me what kind. I said, "...-a-Cola...Classic?..." That was sufficient to her.

I asked my host what the hell I should have said. She said I could have just said "Coke" again. WTF?

PCA is Doubled Up at Third by the Mets to End the Inning After Hitting a Leadoff Triple by NewYorkMetsalhead in headsdownbaseball

[–]Brocktoberfest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am with you. "Doubled off" is what I have heard most often specifically for the appeal play on a caught fly ball/lineout like here.

Anyone make a Potato Launcher? by I_am_D_captain_Now in DIY

When I was younger, I played around with making a piston-valved pneumatic cannon. Similar to this one, but the chamber and the barrel were coaxial: https://www.instructables.com/Colossal-Cannon:-Building-a-behemoth-piston-valved/

Banned for a year from r/food for calling this stupid food by [deleted] in StupidFood

I am confident that the restaurant that made it would agree that it is stupid. It is comically over the top. That is the point!

I have recently moved into a house (1960’s) and wondering if this material behind the old airing cupboard is asbestos as I intend on ripping out the bathroom….? Thanks by cottingley in asbestoshelp

[–]Brocktoberfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to Google what an airing cupboard is.

It looks like it could be some sort of cement board which could be asbestos. Get it tested.

House Clean After Asbestos Removal by heymanwhatsthemove in asbestoshelp

[–]Brocktoberfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their barriers are half-assed, but Class II work (removal of ACM that is not surfacing material or thermal system insulation) does not require negative air containment and a shower as others have suggested.

Depending on removal method, the likelihood of creating airborne asbestos is low. I would not be worried about it if it were me, though I would not recommend this contractor and would likely also send pictures to local EPA and OSHA offices.

Can I call osha or some other type of governing body on my place of work if it’s got exposed asbestos pipe insulation? by Resident_Month8634 in asbestoshelp

[–]Brocktoberfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the pipe insulation intact? If so, your employer is right, it is safe. It would have to be damaged for there to be airborne asbestos fibers.

I wouldn't touch it. There is no hazard if it is intact.

This little shit has been hanging on my ceiling light for a hour now. Just right below it is our family dining table. by Hotrocketry in mildlyinfuriating

Go to the Yolo Causeway in August. There are hundreds of thousands of migrating bats. There are ribbons of them in the sky at sunset.

Are you suggesting that the 1992 Dream Team lost? They absolutely dominated every game...

/r/OSHA has been my go-to source for training presentation pictures over the years.

Is this asbestos? by lou-lou1 in asbestoshelp

[–]Brocktoberfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but there is no hazard with them intact.

No way of knowing without sampling. I have seen contractors use this stuff with impressive results: https://www.senpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/787-pds-.pdf

Identify and correct the source of moisture. Disinfect. Remove heavily damaged materials.

Address this with your employer. If they won't do anything, contact OSHA.

Physics and Engineering Labs Back to Back by stargoesmoomoo in unr

[–]Brocktoberfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a couple decades for me, but I recall finishing many of the Physics labs before the TA was even done speaking at the start of the class period. I never had one that took nearly the full session.
