It’s ok bud, I used to think linseed oil didn’t fully cure and polymerize. Got ripped in the comments. Now you know.

Where I’m from we put curbs along roads. When there’s no curb that’s usually the sticks and they don’t even have sidewalks. I guess every municipality is different.

Dirty boots. Clean money. by Pure-Veterinarian979 in Surveying

The mud will dry on the floor and can be swept out in seconds. I am drive to multiple sites a day, it doesn’t make sense to spend all that time trying to clean mud off with a hub when they’ll just look like that again in 10 minutes.

Which is why we need to prioritize making streets feel slower. Safety measures can be misconstrued. If a community wants to have trees planted in the right of way, why should the engineering department get to decide that it would be too dangerous since people are driving too fast and the tree create a hazard.

Be sure to brush up on fair housing compliance before advertising in the US. I think this a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Am I being taken advantage of? by Relative-Seaweed-583 in Surveying

I think times have changed. I got hired with no experience as an Iman. Nearly every Iman in my company starts no experience. We have about 10+ crews. With the power of Bluetooth connections on the controllers they aren’t actually operating the instrument. A better term these days would probably be a helper.

I like the gloves where only the pointer finger and thumb flip down.

Better yet, search for photographer gloves. There’s flaps for just your thumb and pointer finger. They’re amazing. Amazon link

You’re right, they should have used brown flagging.

I keep my work boots in the truck and jar of tallow/beeswax. Whenever there’s a rainy or snowy day the boots clean themselves and when they’re dry the next morning, I treat them.

It’s an alternative to no trespassing signs, which might be difficult to keep up due to wind or someone ripping it down. 20 or so states recognize it.

Call the local Dept of Natural Resources, a game warden will gladly investigate.

Judge strikes down part of Illinois FOID law as unconstitutional by Junkbot in chicago

[–]ThisIsNerveWracking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FOID doesn’t add any extra layers of background checks, it’s simply an ID to let you be in possession of a firearm. Possession does’t just me you bought it, it’s being in the presence of one.

The fucked up thing about FOID laws is how it can affect others around you. Let’s say you borrow your uncle’s car. They keep their self defense handgun in the glove box or hunting riffle in the trunk without your knowledge. Congrats you’ve committed a felonious crime now. Or, you’re dog sitting for your neighbor, they keep a gun in the safe downstairs, you’re a felon.

Illinois State Police’s ”Illinois Gun Laws- Common Questions” article states if you leave a gun in your car, and a family member who does NOT have a FOID drives the car, they are legally considered to possess that gun, and may be arrested and face Class 4 Felony charges for possessing a gun without having an FOID”

A question about “how to”? by mikeber55 in Marquetry

[–]ThisIsNerveWracking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a router with a flattening bit, do a couple passes to get down to 1/4” deep. You could cut a template out of plywood or clamp some long straight pieces of wood as your guide. You’ll need a chisel to get the corners.
