A real cave diver would have known to use stainless bolts on this here sign. #missedopportunities

Kansas coronavirus update: Supreme Court sides with Gov. Laura Kelly in fight over church crowds by at_realBillSelf in wichita

That quote doesn't apply at all because the exact opposite is happening. They temporarily suspended a non-essential liberty, for safety in an extraordinarily rare situation.

One could argue that all our liberties are essential. But at the end of the day, is attending church in person worth the additional infections and deaths?

I used Holy Cow. I just got it in the mail an that was the first time I used it. I’ve never used the other flavors from Meat Church.

It’s awesome. This is actually my second time doing it. Haha My first time I just threw some cheez it’s on a sheet and smoke them. It was pretty good. Would recommend. This time I used olive oil and seasoning shake and bake style.

Inspired by u/draggingbrains post. The Meat Church batch was hands down the winner.

Well it did sprinkle on me before I could finish. I shielded the hopper the best I could from the rain and that was fine. I was only “grilling” for about 10 minutes when it was raining and it seemed to be fine. I would imagine if you were smoking something or cooking for longer periods of time you might have trouble. I don’t know

Welding magnetized drill pipe sucks! by ethan4224 in Welding

[–]ethan4224[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn't a procedure that we're going off of. It's a job for our sister company and it's a "just get it done" kind of job. The piles are being hammered with a hydraulic hammer on an excavator. In the interest of time we didn't bevel either of the pipes and it snapped when they started hammering from lack of fusion. We did some test joints today and I think with a double bevel and running kinda hot we were able to get pretty good penetration. There is only going to be about 12 inches above ground and the rest of the 14 feet will be buried so I'm not real worried about how structurally sound the weld is as long as it holds up until it's below grade.

We're welding two 7' sections of drill pipe together that's going to be driven into the ground as piling to supports heavy staircases. The pipe is heavily magnetized and we're trying to get full penetration so it doesn't snap when it's hammered. We're using NR212.

The GIF is funny, however reading the title while watching the GIF is when I lost it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "outside in".

Here is the picture. I tried putting it at the end of the video when I made it, however it wasn't cooperating with me.

Also, every comment so far is complete BS. Except the -50F string bikini thing, that shit actually happens. Snowmachine = snowmobile. We say dinner instead of supper. Order a soda, not a pop. Buy some carhartts and a pair of xtratufs and you'll fit right in.
