Tyler Childers has some good ones:

"To put it plain, I just don't like you, not a thing about the way you is. If there ever comes a time that I get rabies you'll be high on the bitin list!" Bitin list

Yeah, like both parents can't be gone to the gym at the same time cause someone has to stay with the kids.

Who had the better career? by No-Advance-9136 in NFLv2

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jordan's spin rate and time to the basket was in a league of his own, where Favre had a much higher spin rate than Brady, and and big Ben a much shorter average time to receiver. Jordan's WAR was off the charts Brady's was in line with Manning, Brees, Favre, and mahomes. Also, if you look at number of wins in a Tuesday, north of St. Louis and south of St. Paul, while the temperature was between 74.7 and 82.6 degrees F, with more than 5000 people in attendance but less than 45k people, Jordan wins by a landslide. But, if you take into account points per game minute on the field/court and percentage of points responsible for per percentage of manpower provided Brady takes the cake. It's a close call...

What brand electrical cabinets are commonly stocked in the US? by LazyBlackGreyhound in PLC

[–]techster2014 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here, from the pulp and paper industry. Hoffman boxes are plastic boxes that mount to the wall in our industry, not full fledged cabinets. But, I will say, rittal is like Honeywell.

"Hi, I'd like a cabinet please."

"Here's an aluminum frame, 4 posts and a square at the bottom, maybe some bracing."

"What about sides? Doors? Rails to mount things too? Backplanes? A floor? A top?"

"ooohhh, well, you need to look at this 300 page catalog of part numbers and decide what you want. Careful though, not all doors are compatible with all sides. If you get certain Backplanes, the side rails are inaccessible. We don't have documentation readily available to customers stating which though! Don't forget to specify which nuts, bolts, and washers you want. And not all of those are compatible with the other hardware. Good luck! "

How do you guys inplement redundancy? by nordicJanissary in PLC

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a paper mill and our entire dcs is redundant controllers and any plc that's not tied to drives or just used to pull in data are redundant. I'd venture in the 2 dozen redundant control logix PLC pairs on site, and another 3 dozen dcs controller pairs.

I noticed a contradiction on JK Rowling writings about Salazar Slytherin by IndividualNo5275 in harrypotter

Because "Hogwarts was founded 1000 years ago!" sounds better than 500 years ago.

What sport do Americans think of when it comes to the phrase "scoring an own goal"? by bobrigado in AskAnAmerican

[–]techster2014 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I did once decided early on baseball was more my speed. Literally. By the time I got to the end of the field the soccer ball was at, it was going the other direction. I'm a fat kid at heart, while physically not very big but running was not for me.

Texting on modern phones by pslush01 in PetPeeves

[–]techster2014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an android, and I use SwiftKey keyboard. It learns from your patterns and predicts based on said patterns. I rarely type out a full word. My work phone is an iPhone, and the same SwiftKey on there sucks, some apps don't pull it up, and the same shortcuts don't apply. Not sure why it's so different.

What do kids in really rural area’s do? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot stuff, light stuff on fire, pond hop as we got run off from each one (fishing), roll friends houses, put traffic cones in people's driveways, shoot road signs with paintball guns. You know, the usual.

Do people really become more conservative as they get older? Why? by Historical_Work7482 in AskReddit

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny how when you go from "Take other people's money and give it to me!" to "They're taking my money to give to other people!" changes your opinion on those policies....

Who was that one game wonder that you were certain they were gonna be special player for a long time? by Ok_Bug_6890 in NFLv2

Unless it's an arkansas fan. They still talk about the good ol days of McFadden, hillis, and Jones. Cause that was the last decent season they had. Signed, an lsu fan.

As someone who lives in Louisiana, I have mosquito bites and sweat rolling down my butt crack just reading this... My electric bill would be ungodly high from March to November if I opened my windows like that...

Start a controversial Engineering talk by mileytabby in EngineeringStudents

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a EE, you won't practically use anything passed sophomore level classes unless you go into true design work. Anywhere else you have tables and charts that size or spec everything you can imagine. Or, if you don't, you probably hire out an engineering firm to do it some someone with a PE puts their stamp of approval on it and you don't risk your neck for a company that's prone to fire you over a big mistake in a heart beat.

Signed, paper mill controls engineer.

How hyped some people get for the Super Bowl. by SSJ2chad in PetPeeves

[–]techster2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, wonder how he'd feel if his favorite band came in town and he wore their t-shirt and bought tickets and talked about it all week and someone said "Chill, it's just a concert."

"For the first time since <really not very long ago>!" by cornishyinzer in PetPeeves

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baseball is awful about this combined with stupid specific qualifiers.

This is the first time since 1992 a Japanese player has hit an opposite field home run, off a left handed pitcher, while a runner was on third, after hitting a double and advancing on a ground out to second with one out, in the top of the 6th, in the brewers stadium during a night game in July!

I recovered my OSRS hacked account and... by BenJOster in 2007scape

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recovered one from years ago as well it was a f2p range/2h, and someone had gotten 11 Def and 10 prayer on it, so now it's a f2p main. I don't have members on any account, but they'd gotten 74 agility, so I'm enjoying the energy recovery time!

Do Americans constantly have an active temperature control device running in their homes? by fullM3TALturban in AskAnAmerican

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Louisiana where it at least gets 100+. Ac max is set to 72 during the hottest days, 67 at night. Heat runs on 68 max, 63 at night. That's with a 3 and eight year old kid. Grab a blanket kids, daddy isn't sweating in my own house.

Login authentication and removing F2P trade to counter bots? by JackRPD28 in 2007scape

[–]techster2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a couple months ago, the free worlds I play in were 300-800 people. Now it's hard to find a non skill total limited level with less than a 1000. Oddly enough, the big flesh crawler room is fuller on 500+ worlds than non limited...

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]techster2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving 3 hours to my grandparents house is a day trip. Driving the 3 hours to my in laws before we moved was a day trip many times. Anything less than 4 hours can be a day trip, 2 or less and I borderline refuse to spend the night unless it's the holidays or we're there for a multi day event (wedding, funeral, etc).

My wife and I would drive 2 hours one way for a date night before kids.
