  • An essential tool of the trade.

  • As built that one drove me crazy. The slot was not alligned with the center of the straight coupler. I cut it off and welded it in the correct position. I would really like the slot to be narrower so that it catches the small couplers like the flat hooks better andI would like them a few millimeters longer and with a bit more of a bend in it. It's an easy fix but it's one of those things that I just never seem to get around to.

    It works really well as it is but it would be that much better with a bit of modification.

  • Yes. No tape means that the line is as put to bed with the taps capped and the lines full of isopropyl alcohol. Orange is the color my son puts on the loops once he has been through with the chainsaw if there is something that needs my attention. As I work my way through the system once I have the lines tightened and any repairs made I put green tape on the loop. I start at the far end of the system and work my way forward. When I go back out I start at the first line that doesn't have green tape and continue to work my way in. When I start testing I will start at the far end and once I have each line free of leaks and rinsed with hydrogen peroxide I remove the green tape. Any fittings that need attention or and points where there is a leak in the line gets orange tape if I don't repair it immediately or if someone other than me finds the problem. When everything is ready to run there will be no tape anywhere on the system.

    Once the run is finished I go back out, pull the taps, and run in isopropyl alcohol. I put a green flag on the last line that I worked on, moving it forward as I go. When I hit the sugar shack the lines are free of flags and put to bed for the year.

  • I don't think they came anywhere close to overthrowing the government. Trump didn't call out the National Guard but the surrounding states sent theirs in. Had the asshats persisted I have no doubt that there would have been a lot of dead insurrectionists.

  • That's not how revolutions work. Soldiers are trained to do one thing, to kill people who shoot at them. If you shoot at soldiers there is a very high liklihood that you're going to end up very, very dead. The only way a revolution in the US will work is if the army switches sides to support the people. If that doesn't happen, the revolution will not succeed. A bunch of Gravy Seals in ill fitting mismatched surplus store body armour carrying AR-15s will never succeed in overthrowing the US government no matter how many childish circle jerk murder fantasies they share. What will win the revolution in the US is old ladies with pots and pans and young people with whistles. You need to get enough people off their asses and into the streets making noise and protesting. That means you need over 12 million people in the streets protesting on a sustained basis then you need the army to suppor the people.

  • That's a little different. That was an insurgency, not a revolution, and they were heavily supported by China and Russia. That would be more comparable to the years long grinding insurgency that would bankrupt the US if it ever tried to take over Canada.

  • But bro please

  • Sure, but they will get in that tank inside a well fortified base protected by helecopters with door mounted mini guns and Hellfire missiles, go out and kill people with piddly little AR-15s at an industrial scale, then return to their well fortified bases for afternoon tea.

    The second ammendment was wirten back when the people and the government had the same weapons. That isn't the case anymore. If you take on the government, you die. If 100,000 of you take on the government most of you die. Unless you can get a sizeable portion of the peopulation out from in front of Keeping Up with the Kardashains and into the street to protest you're a pedofascist dictatorship for the forseeable future.

  • Anyone who thinks their AR-15 is going to let them take on a tyrannical government has no understanding of how tanks work.

  • Billionaire Ehud Laniado dies during penis enlargement surgery, surgeons banned

    Jump

  • I always thought that autoerotic asphyxiation was the gold standard comedic way for billionaires to die. I was wrong.

    The thought of this wealthy pencil dick chasing what I have and dying in the process is hilarious.

    I guess envy really is a deadly sin.

  • Which of the people in the Trump regime do you think are at the same intellectual level? Rocket scientists? Brilliant physicians?

    The Nazi elite were evil geniuses. The Trumpers are just evil.

  • Is RFK Mengele in this scenario? Do you think there are many rocket scientists working for ICE? Are Trump's cabinet members political elites?

    The Trump regime is a pedofascist kleptocratic idiocracy. ICE are the prison camp guards who were hunted relentlessly until they were caught or dead.

  • The Nazis ruled Germany for 12 years. The Gestapo believed that they were untouchable. In the end, the leader was dead by suicide, the senior officers tried and executed, the junior officers hunted, tried, convicted, and executed, imprisoned or murdered, and those who weren't caught were hunted and on the run for the rest of their lives until they were dead.

    I'm just saying.

  • Surrey extortion victim being investigated for allegedly returning fire during shooting

    Jump

  • Everything you say is true but you dismissed my point in your first sentence. A Canadian jury will not convict you for returning fire when you are under fire. The Crown will tell you that you can't have a jury but you can and should demand one.

    Having said that, returning fire would be my last choice. My first choice would be to not be under fire in the first place. If you come to my house and start shooting at and are not gone in how long it takes me to retrieve and load my gun while calling 911 you are going to receive effective return fire and you are going to have a bad day.
