zedprime posted:The internet is pretty great as a whole. But there's all these pictures of really exotic truck fuckling. Truck fuckling at really impressive angles. Truck fuckling with really unobtainably good looking trucks. Even violent truck fuckling. It's really starting to ruin my truck fuckling experiences in real life because of the shifted expectations. Two-speed rear helps with that.

Mister Speaker posted:I'm looking for a GIF or video and this is the best place to ask. Near as I can remember, it's of three large power conduits that are wrapped in a helix, and because of... something to do with the current running through them, I want to say it has something to do with three-phase power, the cables are actually physically flexing around one another.

CommieGIR posted:I found out from a friend who does it and it added like $190 a month for his power bill. I ran 27-strings of C-9s (the larger incandescent tapered bulb) on my 28' pine tree for several seasons. We calculated that, at nine watts/bulb, averaging 30/string (most of the strings were from the 60s) that it was pulling betweeen 7500-8000 watts accounting for resistance. I eventually ran a dedicated 30A breaker to a hot-water heater timer & on out with 10-2 to a heavy-duty receptacle, to a 10-ga extension cord, to a distributor that could handle the six extension cords coming off the tree. Think it added about $85/mo. Fortunately, it's only six weeks.

In the 70's, I saw so many 75-77 Buick Apollos (Nova clones) that dog-tracked like that. They had to have come that way from the factory.

UnkleBoB posted:Reminded me that the answer was given in an ancient Straight Dope article. Holy poo poo! Thank you! This has been a thing that’s quietly bugging me for years. I actually got on the air on Car Talk and asked the Magliozzis about it (around 1991). I think that they thought I was high or something; my call never aired. At one summer job at a boiler plant, there was a secretary who drove a ‘78 Nova that had this problem. I thought the frames were all racked, or something.

packetmantis posted:My dad decided it would be a great idea to start driving a motorcycle at 60, and got in several minor accidents that were presumably fate warning him before he got in a huge one that totaled his bike, turned his shoulder to cereal, and broke his leg in like 15 places. He was bedridden for almost a year, with my mom having to tend to him like a baby and give him injections, and he wanted to buy a new motorcycle to get right back to riding afterwards. I started riding in France, when I was 14. Moving back to the States and witnessing traffic here, particularly on the East Coast...nope.

wesleywillis posted:My parents used mercurochrome on my wounds when I was a kid and I turned out fine. Mine also, plus paragoric for croup. Why no, I can't smell time. (edit) In the late 60s, my dad (a research chemist) mixed up something called hyamine in the lab at Rohm & Haas, and we used it instead of mercurochrome. It was colorless & odorless and didn't sting. He said R&H had trouble marketing it outside of hospitals because people felt that, if the antiseptic didn't sting, it wasn't working.

The tragedy is that most homeowner's insurance will pay a fire department fee as part of indemnifying a homeowner's claim involving fire dept/EMS. These fuckwad fire departments should know that.

Lucid Nonsense posted:I had a white F150 with my company signs on the side and realized that I could park it anywhere if I had a shovel or some other tools laying in the bed. No parking at the beach? Restaurant parking lot full? Park on the grass between the sidewalk and the street. Even if there was no work to be seen in the area, I never got messed with.  I parked in Elfreth's Alley to inspect a home there. Technically, the entire street is a national park and is off-limits to casual traffic.

One girl would take nearly hour long bathroom breaks...come back clearly on heroin. She stole a whole till full of cash one day, plastic tray and all, but somehow didn't get fired, due to some deal with the manager and her. This bored house-wife who started working again for funsies, started banging this college kid regular and told me all about how she tried ecstasy for the first time with him and it was amazing and had opened her eyes! It was a pretty fun job. Sir, this is a Tim Horton's janitor's closet

My niece works at the Mutter Museam (The Museum of the College of Physicians in Philadelphia) and spent most of the last year organizing their exhibit for the 1918 Flu Pandemic. There are a lot of parallels. http://muttermuseum.org/exhibitions/going-viral-behind-the-scenes-at-a-medical-museum/ They're closed for the duration.

biracial bear for uncut posted:So I'm not sure where this should actually go, but how are companies proving they're essential so that employees that have to commute through curfew areas have something to show the police if they get pulled over for violating curfew? Is this actually happening anywhere? *** I called my local police station for guidance because the front plate on one of my cars was lost after a minor collision in Philadelphia (NJ has front & rear plates) and the only way to get duplicate/new plates is to go in person to the DMV - which of course is closed for the duration. Desk sergeant said that no one is looking at that right now & not to be concerned about the missing plate. Anecdote 2: my son's SO (who was driving the car at the time it was involved in the accident) talked to the responding Phila. patrolman about COVID response; he said that they have been instructed to put no one in the back of their cruisers, and get ID if possible on perps for later pick-up. Obviously I can't see this being the case for A&B felony situations but who knows.

The Clamagore. I thought it was tight (I am large) but the old submariner that gave us a tour said it was the Cadillac (Balao class) of diesel boats, with gobs more room than most of the earlier class (Gato) of WWII boat.  The Becuna is another Balao-class boat in Philadelphia, if you want to see one...
