Varkk posted:I heard that most car fires are from the hydraulic fluid leaking. Most have a lower flashpoint than fuel. Also tend to be run around areas they are more likely to be damaged. So car hit the standing water too fast. The shock of the impact knocked a hydraulic line, possibly either brakes or power steering. Then the fluid hit a hot surface and a ignited. hydraulic leaks are also typically aerosolized because of the pressure involved, making it all the easier to ignite.

haunted bong posted:idk that looks awesome as hell Agreed. DandyLion posted:TSA confiscated a pack of toothpicks I had in my carry on bag. Its beyond parody at this point. TSA is security theater and a chance for people to get felt up by strangers on a routine basis. I personally had never experienced my genitals being patted down until they started using the backscatter machines.

Nocheez posted:I've twice been popped for a random check that meant having some rear end in a top hat drag his knuckles across my dick. They say they're checking pockets but it's still the most humiliating bullshit I have been through. If it was following the backscatter, it wasn't random. Prior to 2016, the backscatter scanners produced a near perfect image of your naked body that some agent would look at. Because people obviously were pissed when that became public knowledge, TSA switched to their current system. Now the scanner has expected scans of men and women's bodies. Instead of a person looking at you naked, now there is just a small screen that shows a bathroom door figure with a box around the anomaly. It anticipates nothing in your pockets, but if your dick is hanging down instead of being tucked up, for example, it marks it as an object in your pocket. Unless you can pull something out of your pocket, they must pat you down. I've went to supervisors and was told I either consent to the patdown or I don't fly. I know there are trans goons that have ran into the same problem. I agree that it is humiliating every time. The most recent time the agent doing the patdown spit out the minute long preamble about it in seconds because he has to do this poo poo so often.

Could tell what was going to happen before it did with how common this situation seems to be. We could probably do an hour long montage of people not setting the parking brake on a flipped vehicle before flipping it back over.

zedprime posted:If anyone doesn't know what to do after highschool do this. The downsides were mentioned but you can also play your cards right to have a retirement nest egg or demote yourself to a clerk to avoid the backbreaking stuff later. There will never be a shortage of need for people who know how to actually wire up a house/building or install plumbing. There is already an overabundance of lawyers in the country, and it gets worse every year. I make less an hour as a practicing attorney than some landscapers I know.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:finding out who currently owns the g-haus involves rifling through public registry records that probably aren't obviously accessible I'm not supporting doxxing or anything of the sort, however, property records are universally public records and are searchable online. Googling county name state name property appraiser will generally get you to the right website. The only way to hide property ownership in the united states generally is to have some sort of corporate entity hold the property instead. Most apartment complexes and other such large developments do this so ownership can change without deeding the land and recording the value of the sale.

Property records have been public going back probably more than a thousand years if we're tracing through british common law. Obviously in America they only go back ~500 years at most, but they're available for public review. For older stuff you may literally have to read through property book recordings that are old as gently caress, but the records are there back to whenever the land was originally deeded when it was stolen from the natives. Some systems have full electronic records and you can see back to the first colonization of your area for each plot of land.

First time, dude gets out to see if he can open while dude in car is like "yeah gently caress it I can DO THIS" and guns it. he does successfully get through, but now other dude is loving stuck on the other side, and poo poo he's the whole reason we're here. Now he has to go get the other dude, but he gets lifted off the ground and doesn't make it through. If at first you don't succeed, try again with more gas.

For example, Dean Lister vs Josh Barnett. At the end of the match, Barnett gets Lister into basically a judo scarf hold. He then puts all his weight on Lister's chest and the compression between the two makes it so once Lister exhaled, he could not inhale again. It's a very different kind of choke than most people are used to, and Barnett made the big guy tap as a result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE2TC9-oEk4&t=1237s e: and Barnett explaining the choke step by step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s0VxxSNu-g

lots of people have cracked windshields like that in texas because its dry so there's lots of rocks and there's wild temperature variations that cause chips to turn into cracks with a quickness. I don't believe an uncracked windshield is part of the texas inspection, but then again I haven't had to do a texas vehicle inspection in over a decade.

Foxtrot_13 posted:Americans have some ... odd priorities with car maintenance. The 3000 mile oil change is an anachronism that dates back to garbage us cars built in the 70s and 80s. Everything built in the last 10-20 years or so has a service interval of 5-10k that I've seen. Also, the windshield thing depends on the state. In Florida, every auto policy must fix windshield chips and cracks free of deductible. So you don't see cracked windows often unless the car is a $500 beater that barely runs anyways. its different elsewhere.
