EvenWorseOpinions posted:he flipped back his jacket to show his pistol and asked 'what if I shot you'  I'm gonna pretend he was making a really bad joke and that it was an airsoft pistol, because I had a friend I played airsoft do a dumb once. Halloween party, dressed up in $generic_airsoft_soldier_outfit with an M4 model AEG on his back, then he went to Walmart and missed the "code brown" call or whatever over the PA. Turned around when he noticed odd quiet in the electronics section (ha) and he had half a dozen cops pointing guns at him.

Cat Hatter posted:Where was this? I've worked in a store that size in Georgia when someone came through with a real AR on their back and mostly we just talked about the dude being an rear end in a top hat because A)it makes people uncomfortable and B)if anything did happen where you'd wish you had a gun, the guy super-visibly carrying a gun would be dead before they knew something was going on. Official policy on the Emergency Response flipchart was to monitor the situation, but if they aren't indicating that they'll be violent and you're in an open-carry state there isn't really anything to do unless the owners specifically don't allow firearms which then becomes trespassing. Florida, but he was in a Walmart in a very blue county. If I was the manager I would have flipped too at a dude in a tac vest, helmet, camo, and what looked like a real AR (because in the US we don't have to keep the orange flash hiders that say "fake gun"). He is not a minority, he is very white.

CarForumPoster posted:Yep this is correct. Believe it or not, working in the window and door industry has taught me some about metallurgy. Specifically because for the longest time one of our salesmen sold contracts with "304SS marine-grade stainless" fasteners. Then, even as we were working these jobs, management switched to 410SS because it was cheaper. Was real fun when I got to explain to a room full of my bosses exactly why customers were complaining when they checked the fasteners with magnets and were suddenly demanding we come out and change out hundreds of fasteners.*  * It's snowbirds in Florida with nothing better to do.

madeintaipei posted:Of course it's FL. What, exactly, does it matter if they're magnetized or not? Because it was sold as 304SS - which is nonmagnetic - and our customer base, as I said, is old farts with nothing better to do than take a magnet out and spot check the screws in their pool cage. This isn't even mentioning yet the one eagle-eyed customer that actually checked the markings on the screw heads and realized that what they got is a few grades down from what was actually sold to them. In theory, in a coastal environment, which is anywhere up to and including ten miles inland (I think), the better the grade, the more corrosion-resistant it is. That's particularly important because stainless and aluminum tend not to get along if you don't get things just so. Galvanic corrosion isn't pretty, when a customer sends you a picture of their sliding glass door that they tried to shore up with stainless fasteners, and there's a hole the size of a quarter where the screw used to be because of the electrical potential between the shittier stainless grades and aluminum, and using non-coated screws.

Toupee Groupie posted:In Florida, watch an insurance company deny a hurricane damage claim if the fasteners were not marine grade stainless steel. If the code calls for it, and it doesn't have it, you can get screwed pretty fast in inspection or insurance coverage. Code doesn't specifically call for marine-grade stainless - the minimum the NOAs and FPAs call for in our case is a 410, which is what we use these days. However, what the permit was issued for in many of these cases listed 304SS marine-grade on the contract. I hemmed and hawed about this and instead of doing things the right way, they just started leaving that off the contracts.  Uncle Enzo posted:Ok right you guys weren't expecting people to check, but if they got sold a product promising "304SS marine-grade stainless" but got delivered a different, cheaper product, that's a bunch of bullshit. People who live near the ocean are dead serious about corrosion resistance. That higher grade of fastener might have been why they chose your product over a competitor's. We haven't been, no. I did, at one point, explain it to them. But as I said, they just stopped writing the contracts for 304SS. I questioned it every time I was told to order 410 from our local vendor instead of 304 from our vendor across the state. These days, though, the 410SS and the 304SS fasteners are fairly close in price, with some sizes being cheaper in 304SS and others in 410SS. The poo poo of it is - our vendor for the 304SS offers a 10% discount on screen doors and hardware if we use them for fasteners, so the few bucks' difference in cases of 304SS from them where 410SS would be cheaper sort of evens out. Our inside sales rep has been "temperature check"ing me a couple times a month and I just keep forwarding them on.

My damned Traverse forced one into the wheel well with the wheels turned all the way to the other side of whatever you were working on, then you had to peel back the wheel well liner, shove your arm in there (I'm a big dude, so that scraped me to hell and back) and unscrew (blind) a cap, quarter-turn and pull, then replace the bulb (blind) and reverse the process. At least the brake light was easy. One screw popped the whole assembly off. Except for the time the bulb really didn't want out and shattered in my hand. A piece of glass went so far into my finger that I still don't think it's fully healed several years later, and I have a nasty scar. Bled like a pig for hours.

 Three things:1) How the hell did that not start a fire ten feet of lint ago? 2) I can smell that, and 3) It makes me want to sneeze. EDIT: It brings to mind the lovely situation in my garage. Landlord had our water heater replaced a few years ago and I did not realize until after the warranty period that the dryer was venting into the garage space. Pulled the dryer out to find out exactly why this was occurring and it turned out the plumbers were too lazy to install another six inches of copper to bump the new unit out from the wall. See, the dryer vent ran behind the water heater to a vent on the wall. The new water heater partially blocks the vent, and I can only direct maybe 80%-90% of that humid, linty airflow outside. I have to unfuck it every few loads because of vibration pulling the vent off the outlet, and my garage gets uncomfortably hot and humid on laundry day. Real great in Florida.

Cartoon Man posted:https://i.imgur.com/3J68w4N.mp4 That poor warbird  Reminds me of my own OSHA story from when I was a 12- and 13-year-old mini-goon with a penchant for flight sims and aerial combat video games. Local air show, $40 rides on a T-34 Air Force trainer. Two years in a row I went on that ride. The pilot was an Air Force half-bird, helped me get in the back seat, entertained my childish fangirling over being in a real Air Force two-seater as I listened to the takeoff chatter over the headset. Yes, I fangirled both years. The first year, when I was 12, I mentioned that I liked flight sims but it was nothing compared to actually being in a single-engine. And then here's the 2002 OSHA part: "Oh? Well, put your hands on the stick...and you're flying the plane." Dude's hands go up and behind his head and 12-year-old me is flying a fuckin' plane for about 10-15 minutes. The next year he recognized me, and that time, once it was off the runway he gave me the plane. Told me when to turn, where to go, but I was the one flying it for the whole 20-30 minute flight. To cap it off, he asked the tower for permission to do something called a "military landing" which seemed to be just a fast, steep descent to flare and touchdown. To date, those are two of the best days of my life, OSHA and all

Half expected the car to go over him. I've slipped a handful of times in the past few years, the two nastiest of them causing A) my left knee to approximate a grapefruit in size and shape (slipped on water spilled my my kids) and B) crack a rib (slipped while mopping and went down on my chest). I don't ever want to experience going down on my tailbone like that, I sit too much.

Mr. Nice! posted:Being poor in this country is really loving hard, and it's even harder if you're poor and minority. Some people (republicans) do things to deliberately make life as hard as possible on that already hard hit demographic because the desperation they're left with funnels them into a life of bouncing in and out of prison and essentially providing slave labor. I live in one of those states. Medicaid cutoff for adults is 30% FPL, and with a family of 6, I make too much money for straight Medicaid - but I get share of cost, which means I have to incur ~$3k of medical bills in a month in order to get Medicaid coverage for that month only - but not enough for employer-offered insurance. Living in the expansion gap is just the tits, I tell you

No poo poo, the lady circumcising the boom is a dead ringer for my neighbor, who is a full on Karen that harassed us with bullshit code enforcement complaints (to the point where the inspectors were telling us to keep records for a lawyer) until the county stopped taking anonymous complaints. I have no doubt she would also snip a hydraulic line to stop some dumb noise.
