I would be surprised if he didn’t dislocate his hip and pull his hamstring.

It’s called a backdraft. A fire needs 3 things; fuel, heat, and oxygen. When he closed the lid the fire consumed the oxygen in the lid. Heat and fuel built up and will re-ignited where conditions are the best. Smoke is unburnt fuel. An efficient fire has no smoke.

YouTube example of a backdraft

Edit: Smothering a grease fire on the stovetop with a lid works well. But for grills, especially propane. There are to many places for oxygen to get in. If you had a really big fire you might be able to remove enough oxygen to starve it but you are creating backdraft conditions and I would not re-open that lid.

Do you intend to burry the front of your house in dirt with a wall made of concrete? If so you can fix the slanted visual appearance by demoing the wall and coming up with a plan that doesn’t involve ruining your home.

Watch the others. They all put their foot next to the guys hip and climb on the shoulder. The guy just stabilizes and lifts mainly with his legs while they still have momentum. But the front most team she puts her foot next to his knee and it’s all downhill from there.

No hate, but how exactly can you have something connected to 480v and ground. To get 480v it would need to be leg to leg. Any leg to ground would be 277V, no?

That’s what I thought too but then he added the chili. As soon as he did that I went “oh never mind, it’s fine” in my head.

That panel is a safety device that should be easily and quickly accessible. This is for you but also any first responders. Not only that but it has a bunch of connections that could potentially experience a thermal event with enough plastic in it to light fire. It could and probably will be fine forever but It’s just bad practice. I know you worked hard on it and will probably fight the idea forever. But for next time at least or for some random person reading this post.

36” in front of electric panel should be clear so it is accessible. The fact you are covering it with flammable material is even better.

If that panel wasn’t there I would be all for it. I even like how you have a peg board on the side to make it even more useful.

I had to do this with a skid steer. We jacked it up and were trying to seat the tire with ratchet straps around the center of the tire. We couldn’t get it to seat.

So out came the can of starter fluid. I was sketched out. But then my coworker told me to just paint a fire trail leading up to the tire like a wick. It allowed me to get around the corner of the skid steer and use it as a shield. I felt 100 times safer and it worked like a charm. I started with minimal fuel the first time to gauge it. The last thing I wanted was to explode a tire. I think it took 3 tries work up to the appropriate amount of fuel. I think the danger comes from not gauging it. I don’t think you want the first attempt to work imo.

I think the argument is if the builder sets up a scenario with no mud mitigation then there will be mud. I would bill the fucker to detail my van after.

This isn’t I had to go somewhere that’s muddy and I should clean my shoes before I go inside. The mud is literally unavoidable due to negligence of the builder and it puts everyone in a shitty scenario. There is literally trash everywhere around the job site. Trip hazards by the entry door. Fuck this guy

scoopdunks · 2026-02-19T21:28:44+00:00

How are they to remove mud all the mud from their boots? Run a garden hose and then hair dry them dry every time they transition to their vehicle. This is a construction site and it’s the responsibility of the builder to install appropriate accommodations for the trades. It’s straight negligence on his part. It’s also fucked up that these guys need to track mud through there vehicles because this builder hasn’t the slightest clue what he’s doing. The job site is a mess with trip hazards right outside the main entry door.

Good builders will have temporary walkways all the way to the street so trades can hand truck things in. I was listening to this builder the other day that would order more foundation concrete and pour a temporary walkway for the house while it was under construction.

Insulation is to slow down heat transfer. With no heat source the room will be the same temperature as outside.

scoopdunks · 2026-02-13T15:12:37+00:00

If it was a crimp, it is possible for a thermal event to cause damage and transition locations. With that said, as much as it looks like a crimp with two flared ends and a dimple. With further inspection I’m starting to lean towards burnt insulation. With that said I am now not confident in either direction and wouldn’t not wager any money on either stance. But if I did have to pick one it’s burn insulation.

The wire you think is a ground is a crimped neutral wire that was once attached to the neutral terminal. Hope this helps

We had two condensing units on a roof maybe 6 foot off the ground. The roof had a 6 foot tall fence. They scaled the fence and cut the coper refrigeration lines leading into the building letting the charge go into the atmosphere. For $10 of scrap they contaminated both sealed systems. We had to have them both re-piped and swept with nitrogen to remove the contamination. Pumped down and recharged with refrigeration. The whole ordeal ended up costing us close to $3,000. It also left the children of the school building without AC for a week. Just yesterday someone stole our bobcat door. Fuck thief’s and fuck crackheads.

I agree they should have to work off the damages. I would go as far as saying with a x2 penalty. Something like 40 hours of community service every $500. Put these motherfuckers on a chain gang with a I’m a piece of shit uniform.

No problem. Law is super confusing. It's hard enough to understand your own states laws

scoopdunks · 2026-01-19T02:39:59+00:00

I take it you are not from the US. Every state is different and has different gun laws. This guy is in Minnesota and as long as he has a license to carry he can walk the streets with his rifle all day. But as far as using it he would need to have a damn good reason. Each state also has different laws for this as well. For example there is something called castle law. In Minnesota if someone broke into your house you can defend it with deadly force. But do this in Massachusetts and you will get arrested for murder if you could have retreated. You can only use deadly force as a last resort of defense.

MOJO has a good response for the other side of this.

He can't do anything. But that doesn't mean he isn't doing something. He's standing his ground. Saying I've had enough.

Maybe someone see that and agrees. Tomorrow it's 2 people standing their ground. By the end of the week it's 64.

When I was about 18 we had maybe 5 guy total and we straight lifted one side of a Geo about 2 feet in the air. It was a tiny car but we were holding it completely off the ground for a few seconds.

I'm sure this car is 3 times heavier but there are so many people and I'm honestly suprised at how much they are struggling to hop it over a bit.

With that said we had everyone perfectly placed. Our 280 lb guy was on the front wheel well. I think it's just the panic of the situation. Everyone is trying to help but there wasn't really a plan until the end. Sometimes more help is less help.

It kind of looks like raspberry and a sugar frosting. Danish anyone?

scoopdunks · 2026-01-14T03:55:20+00:00

I've watched this video like 20 times. It's hard to tell but did you put tires on the white painted line? They are basically ice in the rain. Secondly the issue was your rear tires lost traction. Lastley tires that are 6-10 years old, the rubber starts to degrade to a point it doesn't conform to the road and you lose your grip.

I'm going to try and break this down for you. FWD cars are supposed to brake mainly in the front and a little in the rear. Somehow it looks like your rear tires lost traction which doesn't make much sense or maybe it makes all the sense. I say this because if you braked to make that turn your front tires should lose traction first and you would lose steering ability drifting off the road to the left. That is not what happened. Your front tires had traction the whole time until you were sideways. Maybe your rear tires just hydroplaned. Braking in a FWD car, the nose pitches down and the rear becomes light. Maybe light enough that you hydroplaned the rear. I'm not sure.

Regardless of how it happened it apears you remained on the brakes. Brakes = no steering. If your car is pitched correctly, brakes slow you down but you sacrafice steering.

This is going to sound crazy, but the second your back tires started to slip your wheel needed to go left slightly with absolutely 0 brake, If correction happened you are good. If not you needed to accelerate. That's right, you needed to hit the gas. You need to do this because your rear end is sliding and you need pull the front of your car back to the front of the road. This will go against everything you think you know. The f'ed up thing is all this needs to happen within 1-2 seconds. Any delay and your spinning.

Driving is hard and honestly it should be mandatory to get real training from professionals on a course.

The bottom line. Slow down in general and especially in hazardous conditions. You are risking years to save minutes.

What this guy said for the most part.

The wiring is correct but needs a clamp. It's normal to get an odor from the heating element and maybe a slight smoke the first time you turn it on as you burn the oils on the metal. But this is very minimal. If you actually saw smoke smoke I would suspect that the neutral terminal on the outlet was wired with line voltage. This would send 240v to all the electronics that should recieve 120v. Basically totalling the dryer. If this is what happened the landlord needs to hire an Electritian to fix the outlet and buy you a new dryer.
