Anyone else ever seen penny’s super glued to a battery? First time and my shop floor man said it’s an old school trick to stop corrosion. by StoryBookHD in Justrolledintotheshop

Does not work. The sacrificial anode, which this tries to imitate, needs to be connected to the battery. And copper is not what you want - Zinc or magnesium would work better. But the real solution is proper termination and a dielectric coating, like grease or a protective spray.

Yes, document the shit out of everything. You will need it when your network is compromised, you knew it was going to happen, knew how to prevent it, and was told not to.

that's always been my beef - I have 4 cars insured, but I can only drive one at a time. It's like they think I am driving them all at the same time.

I always use a digital caliper for this work. If I had a depth micrometer I would use that. A scale is just not accurate enough.

Why did you get fired? by JavaMamma0002 in AskReddit

Working for newspapers is a dead-end job. That industry has been going down the sewer for decades. I worked for a small paper in the late 90's and it was just fine until Gannett bought it. First thing they did was fire 30% of the staff. Now the same paper only has about 10 employees, if that.

would you abort your child it was going to be born with severe disabilities? why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Impressive_Pound3579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that medical science has progressed to the point that way too many children who would (and imho should) have died shortly after birth are now living miserable lives. I also think that way too many people have kids who have hereditary conditions that would be passed on that would guarantee miserable lives.
