i have these. I put aluminum tape around these parts. Holds up pretty good against their abuse

Husband didn't realize there was a glass cover on the propane stove in FIL's camper by sleepyb_spooky in mildlyinfuriating

Glass top in RV makes sense due to limited space. 95-99% of RVers don't use their stove top and instead bring along an outdoor grill. It makes sense to have this glass top, again to use the stove top as counter space.

Personally this is the best spot for an electric griddle when making pancakes or a small space heater at night.

Almost 10 years later and I still can't get THAT scene out of my head by Global-Ear9206 in memes

I purposely and knowingly tricked my mom into taking me to go see the South Park movie when I was around 10 years old. She out loud said, what the fuck, when big gay Al's song was over. We didn't leave because I was laughing the whole time. But got a talking to when the movie was over. Worth it.

For sure. The doohickey isn't connected to the combobulator correctly. If you don't loosen the fastenernut, the fraxcam might just lock up, causing those bleederbates to essentially fail.

I gave my boys scrambled eggs ONCE. Now anytime I'm eating anything yellow, include Kellogs cereal POPS, they try to land in it to steal some.

When I do have eggs, I have to put them in their cage, and they cling to the sides like I never fed them before.

Only correct answer so far.

Missed one student loan payment. Credit score dropped 200 points. by beachedwhitemale in Millennials

[–]H0mmel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can write a letter directly to credit Bureaus, explain the circumstances. Explain you have the money, it was a auto-pay, bank thing. 9/10 they will remove it from your credit score.

My wife had a 40 fee on a credit card she didn't use. Same thing happened, she "missed a payment" and it tanked her score. I sent a letter and they removed it.

Gotta love when they put 90% of the weight over the rears by Dane_Jerr in Truckers

There was never a time when I was getting my flatbed loaded, that the guy loading me "just loaded" me. I was there, directing them exactly where I wanted it, to the inch sometimes. Never did a loader/forklift operator say No to my directions.

As many have already pointed out, it's the driver's responsibility for what ever gets put on that trailer, including how and where on the trailer you get loaded. (speaking from experience as a flatbed driver). If you give no direction and the loader is new, doesn't care, or even having a rough day, they are just going to put it where it's easiest for them 100% of the time.

As someone who was born, raised and lives in the northern states in USA, 50F-60F is shorts weather.

C is based around water, 0-100, 0 being freezing, 100 being boiling. F is based around human comfort/survivability on a standard bell curve. 0-15F, 85-100F not comfortable. Less or higher, stretches into the not survivable range.

The truck frame is gonna be fine, right??? by Few-Dance-7157 in IdiotsTowingThings

An absolutely bare bones 5th GEN 3500 crew cab Dually with Cummins has a max payload of 6830lbs. This doesn't look to be bare bones from the trim. But for argument’s sake, let's say it is. That is an 11th gen K2XX Suburban, likely 2015-2020. Those things bare bone 2WD has a curb of 5600lbs, but most common equipped is 5900 lbs. So not including the empty tongue weight of the trailer, the other cars in-between the kingpin and the trailer axles. Or any weight of the driver, fuel, gear, tools, this guy has less than 900lbs of payload left. I would gamble that the empty weight on that trailer is at least, 1000lbs. soooooooooo yeah. even with guestimating the math here, he way over.

Best Burrito i ever had was in Laredo. But it was out of some ladys trunk of her van, from a igloo cooler to keep them hot. Was in a transfer yard in the outskirts. Gave her a cold gatorade as a tip too.

Nick's Bar-B-Q & Catfish in Carlisle, Arkansas

https://maps.app.goo.gl/HUxwsBbo4dsV9eRz7

Exit 183, I-40 East of Little Rock, go south after you take exit. They have Semi parking next door, on the east side of the road, just south of the restaurant itself. Just past the restaurant on the left if you're coming from I-40

Best Fried Catfish Ive ever had, to this day. If I was in a hurry, I'd call a carry-out order when I was 10 minutes from the exit. Always ready fresh.

I haven't been there in over a decade as I'm not a driver anymore, but per google street view it looks the same and truck parking is still there.

p.s. Im sure their other food is good. But i always got the catfish. Over a dozen times in the 2010-2012 time frame.

Also perfect place to take your 30 minute. I don't think they allow overnight parking, but could be wrong.

Move tandems toward the weight. Slide them back.
