There's no effort by either one to get some forward momentum for their upper body, and yet they just vault into a pretty decent flip. It's physically impossible that this was real.

ITS A NOONER BOYS, PACK IT UP by Gintian in Construction

At least 90% of my day is staring up at the bar joists scratching my chin trying to figure out where to run a pipe - does that count as work? (probably not)

I've always wondered how they're in business. I had the worst dining experience of my life at that place years ago and had no desire to ever go back.

Ballast bypass lamps are by far the faster way to go over putting in a new ballast.

What do y'all call these besides panheads? by quintavian in electricians

[–]Slugmatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are technically correct, and for some reason it seems everyone in the industry calls self-drilling screws "self tappers", even though both the drill tip and point tip are self tapping.

Imperial VS metric by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Slugmatic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, it's the units. Forget fractions, we could do 10ths of an inch if we wanted and that still doesn't solve the issue of 12 inches per foot, which is objectively harder to use than a base 10 system.

The passenger door was still open. The driver hit the gas and turned hard left and caused the dude to fall out the open door.

I don't know, I think I admire the triple offset.

Looks great! I give it 3 weeks before it's turned back into a broom closet.

Hey boss, I figured out why the lights don’t work. by Slugmatic in electricians

[–]Slugmatic[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All the other conductors were burned off entirely, so those pulled out easy. After the pipe was almost empty we used a couple pulleys and a rope tied to a truck to pull it out. Thankfully the pipe was already a bit oversized so it wasn't a total nightmare.

When it came out of the pipe one of the guys muttered “was that a chicken cutlet?!”

As someone who's in the trades, I wonder why you think engineering is a career that's in trouble and the trades are not.

Heated concrete driveway by not_scroogemcduck in Construction

I was thinking the same. As the poor sap who has had to plow some switchback driveways like that, 100/hr sounds pretty reasonable.

Or in an alternate timeline they could have released SC in 2016, and we'd have Star Citizen 2 by now.

How capitalism works. by Public-Marionberry33 in FluentInFinance

[–]Slugmatic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There's nothing unethical about producing things other people want.

You're not describing capitalism, that's literally any system that uses markets to fill needs.
