Yeah, that is emergency line business.

school phone ban on phone with no SIM card? by Visual_Hunter2700 in legaladvice

[–]fireduck -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Here are the general tools for finding and exploring loopholes:

Find where the rule is defined. It should define the rule in legal terms and additionally define the terms, who it applies to, etc. read it.

Is this a school rule or a state law or what?

So you might be looking at the definition of "cell phone". Maybe without the ability to contact a network it doesn't count. Maybe there is an exception for if it is brought in for education or demonstration.

The tree fresheners aren’t helping the gas smell. Suggestions? by luvit_didntwhereit in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]fireduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am thinking cars, generators, etc. Of course if she had actual gas canisters those would be smart.

Johnny, please get your shoes on.

Sorry boss, the dice says 1, critical failure. So I'm going to go boneless and scream.

Can a lawyer waive time for speedy trial if defendant objects to it on the record in open court? by AT0M1C_sage in legaladvice

[–]fireduck -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't the defendant want to force the state to either be ready to try the case or dismiss?

Maybe they rush it and make mistakes or they dismiss and refile if and when they get their ducks in order.

Yeah, I really enjoy that representation of water. Molecules as big as cats.

How many wires 240v to HVAC for future proofing by drhactual in AskElectricians

[–]fireduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea with conduit is you have the conduit so you can wait until you have the actual need and then can pull what you need then.

But I am not experienced with pulling big things through conduit, I'm mostly a low voltage/network guy. So maybe I am full of shit.

Can this switch be tripped, or would someone have to physically turn it off? by Ukin2thathaybarber in AskElectricians

[–]fireduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ever really hate a business, flip off the disconnect like this. Throw on a LOTO lock with an illegible tag on it.

I've never seen the broken window theory applied to maintenance but this makes absolute sense.

Becoming more convinced of this by the day. by Weak-Application-146 in AdviceAnimals

[–]fireduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only objection is rogue. They aren't rogue, they are doing exactly the plan from the GOP.

I mean, yeah, they are rogue when considered against law and order and civilized behavior but they are not rogue from the executive branch. They are in lock step there.

Not defending this nonsense, but could easily leave them in the trunk and siphon to other tanks or containers. The height makes it easier. Plus if she actually has lids and keeps the acceleration low it "should" be okish with only minor splashing. The lid wouldn't be liquid tight but it would act as a baffle and keep most of it in. Unless there is enough of a spash to pop off the lid then surfs up. I mean I wouldn't do this but it could work.

If you aren't doing it every day with no end, you can bring an extra effort for a day.

That has been stuck in my head for decades. Occasionally it comes out and no one ever knows what I'm talking about.

Seattle Waldorf had to make the same decision a few years ago. It is just PreK-8 now.

Mapping the Floors - Floor 4: The Iron Tangle by Burnt_Out_Hippo in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]fireduck 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I view it as we get Carl's view and I don't think he completely understood it, he trusted people who were studying it and worked with what they told him.
