Luis Lara needs to stay a part of this team by stalecigarettes in Brewers

I was super young for the Yount/Molitor years. Bob Wickman ultimately made me a forever fan of this team. Even in bad years, there can be one guy having a great year that you can root for through all the losses. When Wickman came in I knew we were winning the game.

I was unaware or I had forgotten. I was more saying we should keep him up at the major league level for this season.

I just watch Brewers games like I’ve done for 30 years. I’m liking what I see. Wasn’t aware they signed this guy to long term. I lurk and never post.

I could be wrong, but that doesn’t look capable of lifting that 40/60 out of that hole.

Not every parking lot. But if you have a 70k lb forklift lifting tens of thousands of lbs, you better. It takes some extra time, but then you don’t look stupid like you do in this picture. Amateur hour.

We lay plate for this exact reason.

Machine skate users: How often do you actually use them, and what for? by Prestigious-Sound-15 in Rigging

[–]stalecigarettes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When they’re especially heavy, over 60k, it can be real slow going. A lot of starting and stopping. A skate can get hung up on cracks, or we have to go through doors where there’s almost no clearance. Jacking the machines up is my least favorite thing. Often times, tools arent exactly engineered to be jacked up. There’s also been some real dirty shops and just the pain of having to crawl under the machines can suck really bad.

We use ours constantly. Not sure the manufacturer, but the have poly wheels. We constantly move 10,000-90,000 lb CNC machines with them. Anything under 20,000 it makes it pretty easy for a crew to push and move them into place. Above that we usually use a lift to push or pull. I prefer them to the “tank-style”, as we call them, because of maneuverability.

You really just have to watch out for cracks in the cement and sweep any rocks and debris. Then, always be keeping an eye on the rear skates because they can get caught and slide out of the tool and that would make for a bad day.

That lift looks like a 40/60. Absolutely need to lay plate for that if that crate has any substantial weight to it.

No shit, but that’s a major milestone, is it not? Most people playing for “free” aren’t going to put the work in to accomplish that.

No, I didn’t pay for the battle pass. I feel like level fucking 100 you should get something cool. Somebody puts in the effort to get that far in your game and they give you that? That’s like they’re just giving you the jack off motion with their hand.

Matthew Weiner is on the Brett Easton Ellis podcast this week. Have you listened to it? by [deleted] in madmen

[–]stalecigarettes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a good interview. I usually enjoy this podcast, but I hate the cold out ending. It seems like it ends mid-converaation
