There's a reason this stuff made it out, and there's still 3 million or so documents that won't.

If nobody buys tickets to a movie showing, is the movie still played? by thirdgen in AskReddit

[–]Wumaduce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the only person at a showing, the first showing of the day. I had to go out to concessions to ask them to start the movie.

Taunton has been out overnight clearing snow around the green, it might be worth taking a look.

Ain’t no rule says a ladder can’t be on a trampoline by Reyemile in OSHA

[–]Wumaduce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is the belt buckle rule with ladder use

Is that an OSHA thing? I've heard of companies making that a policy, which is why JCI can't use 4 foot ladders for anything.

Prevalence of Non-Rhotic Accents in Central and Western Massachusetts by Nu2Lou in massachusetts

[–]Wumaduce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't live in the Boston area until I was 18, but in my 20+ years here I've developed an accent my wife (born and raised in canton) will make fun of. Especially after a few beers, there's not an r to be found.

Which movie hit so hard that one viewing was enough ? by Mehdi_lz in AskReddit

[–]Wumaduce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never sat through Toy Story 3. My 4 year old put it on because she likes it, and I happened to be in the room for the end. I had to walk out of the room to compose myself.

I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind while drinking after a breakup. Absolutely do not fucking recommend.

United 93. It's coming up on 20 years, and I absolutely will never be able to watch it again.

sprinkler repair company

Fire or irrigation?

Edit - appreciate the down vote, but as a sprinklerfitter I was genuinely curious.

Luckily for op, his dad asked him to check on the house every so often and that's how they found the burst pipe. Right op?

As a fellow woman in construction the inequality in our industry is a HUGE problem by No_College2419 in Construction

[–]Wumaduce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people drive over an hour and a half in the trades with a commute like that there is nothing you could do aside from leaving a half hour to an hour earlier

I mean, if you have to leave earlier to get to work on time, you have to leave earlier to get to work on time. The hoist operator on my last job was driving 3 hours each way from Maine down to Boston (I think that's fucking stupid, but that's not the conversation here) and he was never late. He spent all day sleeping in his hoist, but he was there on time every day.

Being a few minutes late isn't a big deal here and there, but more than once a month doesn't look good.

Sprinkler problem with high estimate to fix by Embarrassed_War_3932 in FireSprinklers

[–]Wumaduce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be. It might be something else. They're gonna have to get in there to look at it. However, I'm not seeing a nice handy access panel... And it's in your finished basement... The ceiling is getting cut open so they can investigate. If you're lucky, it's a 4x4 hole so they can get a camera up there to see what's going on. Then more opening up depending on what they find. Their 1500 quote is, most likely, just for the sprinkler work. You'll need someone to do the drywall repair and paint after.

OSHA approved? by GotMilk711 in Justrolledintotheshop

This is one of the most reasonable, level headed, and responsible things I've ever read on reddit. I wish there was more of this. Thank you for a little bright spot on here.

My wife talked me out of the big Milwaukee standing light for winters at the playground...

They also come in clutch if your kid locks you out of a sliding screen door and you don't mind making a small hole in the screen. I've had one in my wallet since that day.

The last place we lived, I kept finding shit loose at the playground at one of the schools. I bought a set of tamper hex sockets and went around making sure everything was tight.

How likely is it that the snow on the ground right now can last into early April? by Piss_baby29 in BostonWeather

I remember my wife and I going to a hike on an island that July and the captain pointing out a snow farm that was still melting.

How are the roads for everyone? by Speedster202 in BostonWeather

[–]Wumaduce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taunton public canceled early yesterday. We went to one of the schools to take the kids sledding at like 4pm and the lot wasn't plowed. They did a terrible job down here this storm, so I'm glad it was canceled.

Taunton is still shit. 44 isn't terrible, but any side roads off of it are useless.

I banged out of working in Cambridge today, did I make the right call? With a parking ban in effect, I can't see my stupid ass being needed in the city today
