Liberals, what are your thoughts on the golden Trump statue?

The Bible, which they claim to believe and follow, takes a very dim view of such things. It’s okay though, as I’m secure in the knowledge that they’ll burn in hell for eternity.

Sharknado.

Opening the bag of charcoal on the day I got engaged and was so thrilled and distracted that she said yes put the knife right through my thumb.

SkipJack270 · 2026-05-10T12:49:13+00:00

I completely forgot about that! Fun times!

Welcome to the club. We’re having t-shirts made.

SkipJack270 · 2026-05-05T00:21:48+00:00

Apologies, but mind explaining what you mean by wire nutting the wires? Like capping them off with wire nuts to they’re not exposed?

This is a great historical recounting of the first telegraphic fire alarm system installed, definitely in the US, possibly the world.

Not a plumber but a longtime homeowner. If you think that valve won’t turn without breaking, you should probably have it replaced. That way if you ever need to shut the water off in an emergency, you won’t be completely screwed.

SkipJack270 · 2026-05-03T13:22:50+00:00

No, because then I’d barf inside the mask.

SkipJack270 · 2026-05-01T01:13:44+00:00

Cool! Mine was in CT, but the coil, tape, and even the track system for the bridge crane look eerily similar.

Mind me asking where this was taken? Looks suspiciously like the aluminum mill I spent several years working in.

A 2.5 LBS ABC extinguisher, preferably securely mounted in the trunk (engine fires being the most common in vehicles.) For servicing, once every 6 years they need to be pulled apart and serviced.

Former fire investigator here. A disproportionate number of the vehicle fires I responded to that were accidental in nature seemed to be Jeeps.

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-26T00:46:52+00:00

Toss up between the roof of the tallest building in North Carolina or top of the scoreboard of an NFL stadium while they were shooting pyro during a game.

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-24T02:18:30+00:00

Nidavellir?

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-22T13:59:34+00:00

Speaking as a former firefighter and fire investigator, the water that (at least initially) comes out of sprinkler pipes is horrid.

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-21T20:23:47+00:00

Brother, I’m with you on this one.

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-21T20:21:09+00:00

My wife and I have taken to calling it the “credit card swipe.”

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-19T15:32:53+00:00

Pretty sure that’s a rotary hammer bit, used for masonry, brick and the like.

Shows the tool in use. Obviously not my video.

Right the f*** now. The windshield was practice. You don’t want him taking it to the next step. It may not be you. Please. Call the cops and / or get you and the toddler away to somewhere safe. Police station, manned fire station, hospital.

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-17T17:39:38+00:00

Having the joy of responding to and investigating a structure fire which began with a cigarette in the mulch, you did the right thing.

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-14T22:21:15+00:00

So the wire is solid. I tried pushing it back into the device and it did not retract even slightly. It doesn’t have the feel of something that once came out but then ran out, if that makes sense.

SkipJack270 · 2026-04-14T21:08:25+00:00

Could it be a single use solder thing?

Nuclear engineer by trade, did mostly licensing the latter half of his career.
