And I already told the story of my previous employer's Mexico plant where a piece flew out and severed the guy's spine killing him instantly. Your press should be guarded so nothing can be ejected. Nothing. And don't give me the old "oh it's fine if used right" song and dance.

Oh comon, it's fine if used right.

I've been working on a polycarbonate guard for it. Should probably work faster. I have the panels cut, I haven't tapped the press to hold the frame yet. Going to have to hinge the bottom couple inches so that you can push the workpiece in on the 3 sides.

To each his own. I can't stand anything comic book related, or anything Japanese anime.

lol, i told my boss the same thing when he tried bringing it up.


i started thinking i want to try something new. when people ask me about sports, i'm just going to tell them i don't believe in them.

if a diesel truck can identify as a prius, and a guy can identify as a girl, i think i'm well within my rights to state that sports don't exist because i don't watch them.

He said he was alright, no pain or anything outside of the initial hit. Of course I still had to write up an incident report. Then He starts asking me if I know the symptoms of internal bleeding. Sure enough, Friday he worried himself sick and he felt he needed to go to ER.

He's fine

our new guy just ain't gonna make it. today he was complaining that he was getting mud on his shoes. we're on a construction site. i told him we were going to be there friday.

and a few other bigger stories i'll leave for later

it was probably the best full episode ever to come out of seinfeld. but it took 7 seasons to get there.

For me it's just "is there an entertaining enough story to keep my attention for a while?". If yes, continue, if no, then abort.

Sometimes that's HBO level TV, sometimes random stuff, sometimes anime.

Yes!! HBO MAX got 007 Bond Collection. My favorite saga is from Pierce Brosnan, his suave style was on point��

When my guy started he thought wearing gloves is weak and he wants “work hands,” his tune changed real quick.

It actually does make a difference. Which one did you get?

Back in December 2012 I put a full headerback exhaust on my FR-S the first week I had it, with under 100 miles on the odometer. Even with such few miles, the overpipe bolts seized upon removal like they were crossthreaded from the factory or something. It was a huge pain in the ass.

I remember early on some people were concerned with the aftermarket overpipes not having heat shields, due to some suspension components in that area possibly getting too much heat exposure as a result. Not sure if that turned out to be a non-issue or not.
