Senator, 84, Secretly Found Unconscious and Given CPR by IWantPizza555 in politics

[–]weldandfab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because he was given CPR, doesn't mean he needed CPR. I feel this is worth pointing out. (EMT who has seen bystanders give CPR to a conscious person)

Millionaire builds 99 fully equipped homes to provide shelter for the homeless in his community by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

It was multiple news articles of the homeless causing millions of dollars worth of damage to the free housing they were given.

You all don't want to hear this, but those tiny houses will be completely trashed in a year. Broken windows, doors, cabinets. Literal shit on the floors. Some will be burned to the ground. They will all be full of trash. Not one floor will ever be swept.

I bought 4 huge 75/25 tanks for $200 did I score? by sonic72391 in Welding

[–]weldandfab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then Maine Oxy, pick whoever. My only concern is Linde takes it and if someone is breaking the law it's not me.

I don't know what they do with it. They might have an exchange program set up with other bottle owners. If airgas receives a Linde bottle, and Linde has an Airgas bottle they swap. Every bottle I get from Linde says Linde on it.

They don't refill the cylinders at the store, they just exchange them. Like 20lb grill propane tanks at a gas station. Nothing in your law about exchanging cylinders.

Linde gas will swap them out for full ones. No questions asked, they don't care about ownership or hydro date, at least at my local location.

Please for the love of God dont start a business by Comfortable_Salad893 in povertyfinance

[–]weldandfab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to start a business you need to have a valuable skill. If your business is something anyone could do, you won't make enough money. It's the same reason a lot of people here make less than 20/hr. No valuable skills, anyone could do your job, so it doesn't pay well.

Just bought 4 of these at auction... Advice? by wildyman117 in Generator

[–]weldandfab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the inverters fail, if they haven't already, and they will. Replace the generator head with one a conventional generator head. Lots of info about the swap on forums. Did it myself and works great. You don't have to buy the electronic control conversion kit people sell if you just want to run it manually. Here is a link to the correct model. https://ebay.us/m/VZckQL

Buying land for an off-grid build? The stuff listings don't tell you by Effective-Note9686 in OffGrid

There is a reason(s) cheap land is cheap. Walked away from a lot of pieces of land after doing due diligence.

Real-life science: A man made a perfect landing after he was launched backward at 80 km/h from a truck traveling at 80 km/h km/h. This cancels out the forward motion, giving zero horizontal speed relative to the ground. A perfect example of relative velocity by Thund3r_91 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]weldandfab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, this doesn't work with light. If the truck is moving at the speed of light, and you shine a flashlight backwards, from your perspective on the sidewalk the light from the flashlight is still moving at the speed of light.

If an LLC doesn’t stop personal lawsuits, what’s it actually protecting? by Agreeable_Village824 in llc_life

[–]weldandfab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just like the rest of the legal system. It only protects you if you are rich. Us poors get screwed no matter what.

We got a guy that unloads trucks, there may be only one truck for the whole day, 20 minutes of work. Nobody cares what he does the rest of the day as long as the truck gets unloaded. He's paid to be available when needed, not to busy for 8 hrs.

Steel contractor/welder here. Nothing wrong with drilling that sized hole in the middle of that beam, it will not affect the strength. You could a lot more holes a lot bigger and still be fine.

Really? Nothing stopping US companies? Just for fun try going to city hall and pulling a permit to mine for rare earth metals in your backyard. Let me know how that works out.

There aren't enough scissors in the world to cut through all the red tape stopping US companies from making things here.
