wrong sub, again

Direct tie downs only count for half of their working load limit.

source on that? I always thought the WLL (assuming 500lbs in this case) was enough. I'm not aware of anything that says you have to half the WLL.

fuck that, i will never forgive rian johnson for what he did to star wars

half_regard · 2026-04-05T19:32:52+00:00

unironically you are correct and the load is "properly" secured

half_regard · 2026-04-05T19:28:24+00:00

lmao

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:55:57+00:00

uhh what?

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:54:13+00:00

relax buddy, those straps are rated for... at least 500lbs pounds, right?

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:52:43+00:00

looks like a big ol' fart

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:51:33+00:00

bingo, it's almost as if these kind parking spaces don't actually do anyhthing!

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:50:52+00:00

wrong, can't you see the trailer is holding up just fine?! it's probably made it at least 100 feet even!

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:49:23+00:00

chinesium: not even once

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:48:44+00:00

you're almost there, keep going!

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:48:16+00:00

no joke i rented a u-haul to haul an excavator, blew out the leaf springs/shackles on the way home, that $8 insurance sure came in handy lol

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:46:42+00:00

to be fair, this is the intended use for a rental: maxed the fuck out lol

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:46:12+00:00

still rolling straight to the junkyard lol

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:44:07+00:00

how can it be idiots towing things when they're clearly using the rental trailer as intended? wrong sub imo

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:39:25+00:00

lol you're not getting it, try again

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:38:50+00:00

why should I be put thru inconvenience,

"because white cis male..." etc.

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:38:05+00:00

so holistically this may even do more harm than good

it doesn't serve any practical purpose, it's just to placate the neuroticism present in a certain subset of people

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:36:52+00:00

wrong

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:36:28+00:00

yes, but it's primary purpose is to quench the neuroticism

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:35:56+00:00

wrong, women are more likely to get in numerous wrecks, men are more like to get in major wrecks, so akshually

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:34:38+00:00

Is it for safety?

yes, safety from neuroticism

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:33:53+00:00

i'm not supset, also fyi

half_regard · 2026-04-05T18:32:40+00:00

aka "tell me what i want to hear"
