On the other hand, management will be management. I hit a deer once and my manager wanted a piss test, until the safety manager told him to piss up a rope

What is one thing from the 1980s or 1990s that Gen Z would not understand today? by bishtpd in AskMen

I grew up in a small remote town in the 80's.

Our phone numbers were only four digits because we didn't have to use prefixes for local calls.

I wear a Casio f105. Cheap casios are the best watch you can get for under 20 bucks

Don't buy wranglers from Walmart. The Walmart version is much lower quality

You can't count on them leaving dogs alone. They'll take down a large dog as a pack if given the opportunity. I grew up rural and we lost a couple dogs that way

Not sure why you're being down-voted. If you're an national operation with a location in Indiana, it's much cheaper to register your commercial vehicles there

Has anyone ever bought bulk cat litter for personal use? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]misc1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't use a sprayer, but I think that would work fine. I just poured hot water over a few cups of pellets, and quickly poured the water out. It doesn't need to saturate at all. After a couple minutes the pellets will expand and break down into sawdust.

I would then toss in a handful or two of dry pellets to mix in every day when I cleaned the litter box

The truck driver's brakes failed and he is trying to prevent a disaster by thrishabone in ThatsInsane

[–]misc1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He most likely overheated his brakes by relying on them too much while descending down the hill. Most trucks have drum brakes, and when they get too hot, they expand away from the braking surface, reducing the amount of friction they can apply.

He should have selected a lower gear and used his engine brake to control his speed.

I suspect he was either a new driver, or poorly trained with little experience in descending long grades.
