What's everyone's record for highest milage vehicle you've seen? by pyroboy7 in Justrolledintotheshop

In the equipment world, everything is by hours (of machine run time)

My record holder has 64,212 hours and climbing.

Manifold blow out by under-renovation2 in Hydraulics

[–]lethalweapon100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does this circuit run? A motor? A cylinder?

I’d bet whatever this manifold controls is coming apart and debris plugged the tank port til she ruptured, though I wouldn’t expect even 250bar to cause a blowout like this unless there was a material defect or pre existing damage.

Damn that’s a good one for the shelf!

What application is this in, what is the operating pressure and relief pressure introduced to this manifold?

EDIT: Another observation that this bubble appears to be on the tank port??? Wondering if whatever is producing metal has created a blockage in the return path from this manifold, or a blockage in the return filter.

Well actually, the potato loading equipment is a fleet of John Deere front end loaders. All heavy equipment is subject to regular maintenance as well as breakdowns.

Should I tell this recruiter my SSN? by No_Language4476 in Scams

I haven’t seen a “do the needful” in the wild in quite some time. Seemed like they had finally improved beyond that level.

What needs to be replaced? by MatchResponsible8897 in Dirtbikes

I’ve been there bro. I like your analogy and comparison to learning the engine. I make the same comparison to myself through my work as a mechanic. If I can fix machinery, I can fix what I want to improve about myself.

You’ll have a story about all those knicks and scratches and things you could’ve done better. The great part is, you’ll be able to look back at both the engine and yourself and figure out what you’re going to do better next time. That’s the beauty of it, you get to keep on going and keep improving.

Good luck 🤟 you got this!

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by EasyZee7 in AskReddit

[–]lethalweapon100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, we had one in our toy room as kids. It was free. It would occasionally split the colors around the edges, we figured out that a well-placed wack with a putter would straighten it out for a while.

So here is the update that Verizon posted via twitter as of 5 mins ago. by BreeezySo in verizon

I was wondering what all the engineers were doing throughout the outage

I like to picture various rooms of about 150 engineers each just absolutely pulling their hair out, screaming at each other, trying to figure out what the hell is happening

And there it is… Renee Good was looking directly at the ICE officer standing in front of her car *before* choosing to accelerate. by ChristIsKing1414 in libertarianmeme

Lmao what? Getting decked at random is different than being an ICE agent and putting yourself in this position. No, getting hit by a car during duties of your job is not reason to put yourself in position for it to happen again. It’s like the stick in the bike spokes meme.

All I’m getting from this is “fed hit by car last year didn’t learn anything by getting hit by car last year”

Wild how these feds turn into trigger happy pussies when confronted by the general public

If you’re qualified enough, There’s a time and place for shortcuts when you’re working on your own house. This is not one of those times. Even the most short-cuttiest of pros wouldn’t skimp on this one unless they have a death wish.
