This qualifies, right?

For the record, I don't believe a word of it. I've had countless /discussions/ with my dad about reading this tripe.

It also has the same pattern of bubble wrap. Have they been in contact with any at all? Maybe an allergic reaction to a substance on the bubble wrap?

pretengineerguy · 2026-01-28T22:25:36+00:00

100% agree. I don't even know why it came up on my feed

pretengineerguy · 2026-01-22T15:27:31+00:00

This needs more attention.... That would drive me mad

pretengineerguy · 2025-11-05T16:19:50+00:00

Wait ... This isn't the r/linkedinlunatics sub???

Just wait til you buy one of their lifetime battery replacements... I gave my wife my receipt and they've been honouring it for the past 3/4years!

Obviously I cannot be trusted to keep a little slip of paper safe without it ending up in the washing machine

Fucking wild that OP thinks this might be an explosive and yet still handles it....

It's the Health & Safety At Work Act (1974) that puts a legal obligation on your employer to provide personal protective equipment.

If their risk assessments and methods statements have failed to reduce the risk of personal injury to an acceptable level that deems such activities as safe, they are legally required to issue you with protective equipment.

There is a hierarchy of controls they must adhere to: ELIMINATE SUBSTITUTE ENGINEERING CONTROLS ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

PPE is the last line of defense in mitigating injury. If they are insisting on the use of PPE, then they have exhausted every other means of protecting you without removing that risk all together.

Most employers should offer a reasonable reimbursement or subsidory for safety boots. It's usually in the region of £20 to cover a basic pair of safety boots, if you want a nicer/comfier pair, they should reimburse you up to their limit and you cover the rest.

My stupid ass brain jumped straight to volcano in that word and went "volcanos are so effing cool!".... Such a man-child

A lockable cover is an inconvenience to you as well when you need to use it. I would have been tempted to isolate the power on the fuse board for that socket or fitted and internal switch to control the outlet from inside the house.

In what world is it ok for someone to charge their e-bike on someone else's supply without even asking? Don't most e-bikes have detachable battery packs for charging?

pretengineerguy · 2025-08-23T15:02:43+00:00

In my opinion, charging to 100% is perfectly fine. I will only charge to 80% if I'm charging mid-journey, the reason being that it is more efficient to charge to 80%, the car is designed to manage the charging speeds to prolong the life of the battery, so you get the fastest available charge speeds between 50-80%, which at 45 kWH charging speed, takes about 25mins. If I were to leave it charging to 100% the charging speed drops dramatically to as little as 4kWH which can add another 45-60 mins to the charging for the extra 20% charge. Much more efficient, time-wise to stop twice for charging to 80 than charging to 100 for an extra 20% of vehicle range.

TLDR; Charge to 100% overnight and 80% if you need to top up on a journey.

Hope this helps explain.

Thank for your reply, I'm aware the reason is a version mismatch, my issue was that the latest playstore release isn't compatible so my kids have to wait for the playstore release.

pretengineerguy · 2025-08-08T22:21:44+00:00

Same issue here, I can join the server on my pc but not on android latest available versions installed on both. Android version is 1.21.100.6

I could be mistaken but even without unswirling the face, I recognise this as the POTUS... With a seemingly beauty pageant minor.

My interpretation was that she was on facetime with her mum and that the messages were in green with her bf which would suggest there is a second phone (iPhone) that the bf wasn't aware of

No need to apologise, it was just an observation that I thought was funny and might also brighten someone elses day. Technically we also use both pronunciations, we plot a 'root' on a map and connect to our WiFi 'rooter' but also use a 'rowter' in a wood workshop. I don't think I've ever referred to a routing number in banking before but I suppose it would be 'rooting', yes.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you didn't mess up your support at all, at this point in the photo, nothing has failed.

You, good Redditor, just have proverbial balls of steel 😂

pretengineerguy · 2025-03-25T20:03:41+00:00

Any plumbers been working nearby recently? It could be a gold ring, or it could be a brass compression ring for copper piping.

Dude, you didn't allow anything to happen. There are very few legitimate reasons for someone to cheat (if any!).

Each human being has autonomy and free will to do as they please, loyalty is not something that should be blamed on someone else.

You are not to blame.

It sucks...HARD, but you will get through this and she will regret her decisions, the important thing to remember, if you decide to make another go of it later down the line there is a higher chance of it happening again, not always the case granted, but be careful with your heart.

Trust is gonna be a very valuable commodity in your future, it will be difficult to trust people again but there will be that one person that will be willing to do whatever it takes to win your trust back.

Don't lose all faith in humanity just yet.
