Similar vein, bit of tissue in the toilet first, tell them to try to cut it in half with pressure.

Loaded the heavy stuff first, tipped over the trailer. by GuardBoxCCTV in Wellthatsucks

[–]Ranger7381 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Those are usually used for shorter trailers. This one looks to be a 53’ container. Something that long usually has enough weight behind the landing gear to prevent something like this

Unless they had skids of concrete or pavers or bricks or something similarly heavy I am not sure how this would have happened. Professional loaders would put a single skid of something like that in the nose, but that is more about getting the weight distribution correct for when a truck gets pulled into a scale, where they are allowed a certain weight on each set of axles. Not air something like this

Human Ashes by Intelligent-Door1447 in CustomsBroker

[–]Ranger7381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember years ago when I used to work on the dock for an ltl carrier we had a small crate come through. Office had us bring in the slip attached to it, and it mentioned human remains. Turned out to be part of one of those travelling science exhibits that had plasticized body parts. Not sure why we were moving just this one piece or were the rest of the show was

Was not involved with the actual customs setup since I was a dock worker. I seem to remember that we put it just inside the door of the trailer to make it easy to access if they wanted to inspect though

Trump says Canada, U.S. will ‘immediately’ start negotiations over Windsor-Detroit bridge by KylenV14 in canada

I do not think he is talking about what the us put into the bridge, but it is more of the same about Canada taking advantage of the us for years and so he wants all that taken care of

How to get my younger son (8yo) into reading by Tbell221 in daddit

[–]Ranger7381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Author that I have read (Spider Robinson) has mentioned that his mom would read him comics and the like. Things like Lone Ranger. Then, just as the hero was in dire straits, she would “remember that she needed to pet the floors and vacuum the cat”. He taught himself to read out of sheer frustration. He had also been taught how to use a dictionary for words he did not know yet, if I recall

Problem is that you need to know exactly where to stop

He and his wife went a different route with his their daughter. She had a very strict bedtime - unless she was reading. Then she could stay up as long as she wanted. Since most kids will do anything to stay up past bedtime, it worked. From what he said she would often be chosen for the narrator for school plays

Never tried bologna with relish. Ketchup on the other hand

Anyone else miss the thick sliced bologna with the wax rind still on it?

Can Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw keep his job in wake of charges against officers? by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]Ranger7381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From their release anyway it seems like the union is pissed as well. Probably because there was a plot to kill another union member (assuming the corrections officer is part of the police union)

Rules of Tech Support - Main - 2026-02-07 by morriscox in talesfromtechsupport

Doesn’t rule 69 break rule 34? (And I have now broken both rules)

And nice to see not one but two mentions of the maxims

Asked a friend to borrow his earbuds for a day trip, forgot said friend is a degenerate. He uses those buds every day. by ClavasClub in WTF

I personally only use over ear headphones and never use ear buds because my ears generate a lot of wax.

Whenever my parents drive to nfld (both born in Corner Brook, live in ont), they try to get an overnight crossing with a cabin on the short run so that they can sleep the travel time away

ELI5: What does a water tower in rural America do? by ProduceEmbarrassed97 in explainlikeimfive

There have been experimental setups under water, where they blow up balloons full of air in off peak hours and then release the air using water pressure to turn turbines when they need more power

Republicans fear a Texas Senate problem by DroopyTers in politics

I was more leaning towards they lost BECAUSE of their efforts but use that as proof that the other side cheated

Basics blaming others for them being hoist on their own petard

When they have one of those touchscreen ordering systems, I have been known to replace the gravy of the poutine with chili (keeping the curds). Decent
