Okay! So we all have a lot of threads talking about a lot of things but this one is gonna be the most hazardous thread I’ve made.
We need a place to place things that make us shake our head, cry, react in fear and or just disgust us.
IT IS MY HOPE THAT WE ALL REMAIN CIVIL HERE
Yes this is a growing site, but with the world going bat shit crazier right now I feel it’s important to share and lightly discuss difficult subjects to keep us all informed of anything heinous going on.
WHEN A SUBJECT UPSETS YOU PLEASE CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1: Scroll on by.
2: Discuss points in a civil and kind as possible way.
3: Take it to PM… RIGHT AWAY.
I’m not gonna lie; this thread I hope doesn’t get shut down but due to human nature it might.
It’s all about how all of us interact here… so lets make each other proud eh?!
“Here in the Pacific Northwest, wildfires can, and have, burned entire towns to the ground,” Murray wrote. “We count on our brave firefighters, who put their lives on the line, to keep our communities safe — this new Republican policy to detain firefighters on the job is as immoral as it is dangerous.”
“In all of History, the good guys were never the ones who banned books.”
Screw the Hypocrisy of these conservatives. In the US, they love to talk about books being available to children that are of an explicit nature…however statistics show that less than/around 10% of parents in this country EVEN read to their children. Statistics also show that less than 50% of Americans read above an 8th grade level…
I guarantee
Those people havent set foot in a library in decades, let alone the children’s section, and
Those kids have friends that have the INTERNET on their phone, which they use, unsupervised
“average literacy score of 271 places it at Level 2, meaning Canadians can read simple texts and find three facts, but lack the skills to thrive in a knowledge-based economy.”
I had to take a reading test to graduate high school. Like a picture of a cereal box and I have to identify what percentage of daily riboflavin there is.
I didn’t do the test. Instead I wrote an essay on the back saying that by writing this essay I prove to you how stupid this test is and that I can also read and if I’m not able to read that’s really a failing of the school system.
I think I read (I learned!) somewhere that some of our lower rent major newspapers are written at a third grade level.
Damn thats fuckin wild…. Gotta drain your compressor tanks regularly. The fact that it had that much rust should have been noticeable when draining condensation. Going to drain my compressor when i get home now lol
There is a compressor at my old job i stopped using because it didnt get drained for over a year and filled up with probably 20 gallons of water. Shit was nasty when it drained. I heard they’re still using it……
I was filling someones 4500 PSI paintball tank and had the burst disks blow out on me. Supposedly someone oiled the valve and it got into the tank. The friction of the air filling the tank was enough to ignite it and blow out the burst disks. Almost shit my pants.
Electric forklifts scare me because you know damn well they’re never properly maintained. Electric cars and automatic transmission does too incase something is defective.
