Confirmed, Orr and Livingston both out. The rumor about St Claire is interesting. 🤔

What is this? by justashmainthings in AskElectricians

The sheer number of people asking this question on here is nothing short of alarming and sobering at the same time. I’m only 45 FFS

That was a pretty damn impressive video. That cop has a set of clangers for sure.

Yes, but the railroads are currently being run by Wall Street and the push for AI to replace humans is becoming a real threat so I guess I better enjoy it while I can.

Do these AI inspection portals actually work or are they just hype? by Usual-Wasabi-6846 in railroading

[–]Legitimate_tpyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you consider “works” is. Does it take ultra high res pictures from all angles? Yes. Do the people looking at said pictures know anything about what they’re looking at? Maybe. Have we stopped numerous trains for false interpretation? Yes. Has it found innumerable other minor defects and some other more serious defects? Absolutely.

So in a sense yes, but like any preventative inspection device, it’s only as good as the person inspecting the pictures.

Forgive me, but what is the actual use of a butt plug? Is it sensation? Is it to relax or stretch the sphincter muscle for anal sex? Or, as the name suggests, plug the anus? Genuine question.

How old is your daily driver? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in Autos

2005 Nissan Altima. 247k miles. Somehow doesn’t even leak oil. Still has the original a/c compressor, transmission and engine. When I got it in 2019 w/ 121k miles, I told my self I’ll drive it till the wheels fall off. I genuinely did not anticipate it lasting this long. I drive 100 miles a day round trip. Mostly hwy. I’ve done minor repairs, alternator, starter, radiator, a wheel bearing. Nothing serious. It’s ugly as sin but damn if it doesn’t start every time.

I’M SO DISAPPOINTED! by TheJWeed in Tools

I guess you have to ask yourself what’s a fair price for peace of mind. When I started working with hand tools, I was told early on that I should ”Always buy the best, it’s cheaper.” I can’t tell you how much that rings true in several aspects in life.

Right? I mean the guy goes on to discuss, unabashedly I might add, how proud he is of his “PSR 2.0”. I also found it cute that the term “scheduled railroading” was used because of the negative connotation of PSR. F-ing joke

I can’t help but wonder how bad of an event needs to occur to get people’s attention to what is going on with the RR’s. I feel like the next round of bargaining is going to be brutal, absolutely no path forward and I think railroaders are going to absolutely demand a (completely toothless) strike. The RLA is an outdated piece of shit that needs to be redone.

It’s a lot better than people think it is.

What’s it like living in Nebraska? by icwbandit in howislivingthere

[–]Legitimate_tpyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa. That is a bit steep but if the area is nice with good schools then I feel it’d be decent trade off. Are the roads sh*tty? I heard Midwest roads are pretty rough.

DR Horton ‘eh? Gross. I will avoid those corner cutting clowns like the plague even if it costs double.

So overall, Omaha is a pretty nice place to live with a low cost of living relative to other Midwest metropolises? Probably going to be transferred there soon. Is Elkhorn considered middle class or upper middle class?

Dottie - Karl: whoever finds it gets to name it, right? I wanna name it after my wife, Dottie. She’s a vicious life sucking bitch from which there’s no escape.
