  • It’s beside the desk in the tax office they’d tucked between the food court with a sbarro and 2 Asian fusion restaurants and the movie theater with only two working screens.

    Not under the desk. Beside. Because even long after shit has hit the fan, nobody wants to go in one of those, and nobody would even notice it if you hung neon signs.

    Having a proper air filtration system should be a given here… Radon isn’t an issue.

    Honestly I’d have multiple entry/exit spots for air exchange so I’d always have access to surface air if one gets blocked for any reason, and they’d be sealable from the inside with systems to scrub the c02 for lengths of time if needed.

    Idk I’m already putting too much thought into a shitpost…



  • The white brick at the bottom is for detecting large objects (cars) and is either controlling a traffic signal, or is being used to count traffic going through that spot.

    An intersection near me uses them to switch the lights at an intersection where traffic almost never comes from, so a timed light is unnecessary, but important traffic still comes from that direction.

    I have no reason to engage with anyone when I am not at work. If you need something, it can wait until 7:01 Monday morning. If it’s urgent, you shouldn’t be talking to me. If it’s an emergency only I am capable of solving, then not only is the company fucked in many ways, but you should have started with a concise paragraph of what is needed.

    Fuck outta here with that “hey” and go feed it to some livestock.










  • I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.

    However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)

    There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.

    One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.
