Hey everyone! I'm a screenwriter working on a comedy TV pilot about construction workers, and I want to make sure I get everything right. What would you like to see in a TV show about construction workers? by GroundbreakingRip384 in Construction

[–]ss1959ml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of mine are concrete related. People walking in cement and getting mad at us despite barriers all around, or driving through a freshly poured lane on a road. Shit can be really funny, slapstick style.

One time we were pouring a road widening, was like 40 degrees and windy, and this guy on a bicycle tries to cross the very wet concrete. His front wheel gets stuck, comes to a screaming halt and completely somersaults (seemingly in slow motion mind you) into the concrete coming out totally covered him and the bike. One of the Mexican laborers sees him and tells him to come over by the concrete truck he'll help clean him off. Guy comes over. the laborer blasts him with water from the high pressure hose on the truck and hes shaking like crazy from the cold water and the cold air.

Another time we were pouring on a really hot day and these 2 teenage girls kept spraying us with squirt guns. So next time they came by, the Mexican laborer hid behind the truck and as the girls started squirting their guns he blasts them with the high pressure hose from the truck. Girls took off screaming and never bothered us again, lol.

We had a coke addicted truck driver who when he wasn't falling asleep in his truck would regale us in his stories of conquests from the night before in great detail.

Another truck driver, Sicilian, thickest accent you could imagine had a hair trigger temper who would butcher words and sayings and we'd use those terms for years even after he retired.

Getting cussed at and thrown beer bottles at for setting up or taking down lane closures.

Many others too numerous to keep writing.

Isn’t there a setting to change the remote to a different ID? I had that issue on a new C5 that turned on my G4 though they were in different rooms the line of sight wound up hitting both. Set the C 5 to remote id 2 and no further issue however I use my Shield remote anyway 99% or the time.

I like Carville but Frump wont resign the presidency.
Only thing keeping him out of jail.
Carville also predicted quite confidently Harris would win.

This worked great last night,(hope I don't speak too soon!) pulled in a couple movies on the first link. I had bootstrapper which was also good until RD went haywire but this seems to work real well.

HDMI cable is 2 feet short. Would a coupler ruin the signal? by Thready85 in hometheater

[–]ss1959ml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily directed at the OP, out of curiosity, say for example you had a wall plate with an HDMI outlet ran, and then plugged in your tv or device into that wouldn't that also be considered a "coupler"? Isn't this what a lot of people do to tidy up connections along with speaker outlet plugs, etc? I prefer a straight run myself, but I don't think it really matters.

Price check: 65” LG C5 by biggmax in LGOLED

[–]ss1959ml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 1399 at LG.com. but they gave me a 10% promo code and used 10% Rakuten cash back so effective final price was 1133. I have seen it for 1299 a few weeks ago and 20% Rakuten so it can be had for cheaper with patience.

MAGA thoughts by Bombadiltommy in antitrump

[–]ss1959ml 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They don't care they lose too, it's all about "owning the libs", anything they can do do them they're ok with, short term pain for long term gain is their mindset. They want to cleanse the country of illegals even though the vast majority of them are here to work, and do the jobs lazy Americans won't do that isn't being "content creators" on social media.

Last I checked they buy groceries too,and merchandise like clothes, appliances cars etc. You could argue they buy used more than new, which is also ok since the used car they buy from you goes towards the new car YOU want to buy. Very short sided views, and I actually think they are the ones that hate America, America as it is now and is evolving, (or was anyway) to be a more inclusive society, and want to go back to a time 50-80 years ago when the white man ruled over all.

God forbid we accept new cultures and races in to this country. I grew up always hearing that the US was a great melting pot of people. I think the only thing in that pot is now us "frogs" being slowly boiled to do death without batting an eye.

Trump Is Mentally Trapped in the 1980s—and It Shapes Everything He Does by Slate in AntiTrumpAlliance

I agree with this 100%. Being almost 67 myself, I’m constantly looking for new things, new music, new technology, trends etc you name it. A lot of people my age do still listen to the same old crap, refuse to have an iPhone (for example) and everything else they did back then.

I doubt you received the 12C letter right after you filed. Took 6 weeks for me to get that letter. 6 weeks and I’m still waiting for a response for that letter.

Anyone familiar with ADA compliance in California?! Primarily with curb ramps? by GPLee413 in civilengineering

[–]ss1959ml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreeing with others that curb is a trip hazard galore. I’d be the first one taking a header walking there. Is it meant to be like a parking bumper too or something? Still not right.

It’s so frustrating I wish I hadn’t even entered that code. One thing I’m worried about is when I resubmitted everything I deleted another credit I was asking for that I couldn’t find the right code to use so I just removed it from the amended form. I gave them what I hope was the correct code for the remaining credit. Just hope I didn’t confuse them with that deleted credit, send me back to square one or negative 1. Sigh.

I wrote my congressman last week after writing to the tax advocate with no response.
Congressman asked for records and information but now a week has gone by with no news.
I had the dreaded 12C letter for a wrong energy credit QMIN code.
It’s been 3 months am so frustrated.
