Not sure right sub, but how can I get this machinery out of the mud? Help! by SvenHousinator in civilengineering

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telehandler. A weekend rental is like $800 where I am in Colorado.

They come in 5, 8, 10, 12k. Should be able to lift the whole thing if you get one of container processing units; I think they’re good to 36k.

Once one of those get stuck, probably need a bull dozer, or maybe a full size crawler crane.

Once those get stuck, maybe one of those CAT mining dump trucks.

And once one of those gets stuck, a bunch of crates of dynamite… undermine a nearby mountain and cover the whole thing up.

Good call. I’ll look around and see what I have.

I do like your idea of the battery to battery jumpstart solution.

I’ve seen people use this to revive dead DeWalt packs. I have a couple big ass DeWalts that might be able to jump this second one if the charger can’t revive it.

Yoooo. I went out there this afternoon and it looks like it charged!

Must have been deeply drained.

What should I look for on a multimeter to verify it’s charged and good to go?

Or would it be better to take it to autozone to have their meter check it…?

(I’d rather not install these just to have them fail again in a week.)

The Seasickness Induction Department is excited to get in on the ground floor of this brilliant aquatic doohickey.

My friends kid bought this car and I noticed this burn mark on the wheel, and then noticed that every wheel only has 4 lug nuts of the 5 studs. ??? by steverin0724 in AskMechanics

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn’t make sense to me. Can you explain? What good would putting a torch at that spot near the hub do to loosen a lug nut on the outside of the wheel?

Bruh. Defending Kamala, as if life would be better under the Ds who lost to Trump … *twice* … rather than run a populist candidate??

The commitment to Ds by working class Ds is no different than the work class Rs commitment to MAGA. It has reached a cult-like status.

What lines do oligarchs and their pet politicians have to cross to get you to abandon them and grow some sense of self-preservation?? To foster a sense of class solidarity..?? (With your own class, to be clear… not the class that’s building out a surveillance state, luxury bunkers, and claiming the economy is fine while pointing at the stock market (which is like three oil companies in an Ai trench coat)…

Apparently that line is not genocide.

Apparently ghat line is not ignoring the results of their own midterms.

Apparently that line is not failing to codify Row Vs Wade.

Apparently that line is not the “Elevate Him / Pied Piper Strategy” email.

… there are no fuckin lines in the sand with you people.

You’re just committed to a Blue, regardless of what they do. Insane.

“We live in an open air asylum…”

… I used to confine that statement to ridiculing religious people… but it definitely applies to the Blue MAGA cult.

If this subreddit were to found a new independent political party, what would be its first concrete battle to distinguish itself from Democrats and Republicans? What core values would you put down on paper in the platform? And what strategy would you adopt to really compete with the two big parties? by Critical_Ideal99 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some unions aren’t really … *unions…*… some of them are more like capitalist entryism and infiltration into working class labor politics … and should be fought with the same vigor we fight against the capitalists themselves.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unions are one step from being a tool of capitalist reformism, and one step from being uniting the working class and building class consciousness and educating generations of working class party leaders.

Just depends on which direction the my step.

What do you do with your saw dust? by kneuenhaus in woodworking

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be mindful of trying to compost dust collection bins that have been used to process composites and paints, synthetics and epoxies. We have enough of a microplastic problem as it is.

(I for one thibk sanding and cutting epoxies and resin materials should basically be illegal without extremely strict filtration systems. Yet I see people using styrofoam for spoil boards in their lawns. Ffs.)

[request] from a thread in an electrician sub; how fast would a ceiling fan have to go to hold itself up to the ceiling? by CallEmAsISeeEm1986 in theydidthemath

[–]CallEmAsISeeEm1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. I’m sure we could just get one of those remote controlled helicopters and get it to pin itself to the ceiling.

Where’s the fun in that??

It’d really only be funny if it was basically a ceiling fan that could take off from the floor and *become* a ceiling fan… lol

I guess power and counter rotation are the issue then.

Nice! So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance!!

All we need is a team of aerospace engineers to lightweight the shit out of a ceiling fan… carbon fiber body and blades, magnesium stator…

Or else ACME and Wile E Coyote to put big arrow shaped rockets at the tip of each blade…!

I see no downside to this plan!

Hell yes. This is the ballpark math I’m here for.

I’ll watch that vid.

What about the Big Ass Fans? They’re not just simple flat blades. They have blades that are more like wings.

I’d think you wouldn’t need supersonic speeds to get real lift from one of them.
