  • Nah them prics is there. They just gotten so good at hiding in plain sight that you never see them. It’s actually quite the feat to stock the shelves and not be seen at the same time. Plus you got the credit card hounds chasing you around the store. So it goes two ways. Is that an employee or is that the weeping mastercard angel? Better stay away. Or if you make eye contact with them, you moving too damn fast trough the isles to ask for help if you even do see someone.

    Now home hardware, on the other hand, is like playing minesweeper where every damn tile is a mine. You can’t walk a meter in any direction with out someone dead stare into your eyes asking if you need any help? You beter know what fuck you came in here for son. Half the time, the panic sets in and now you buying shit you don’t need like door mats or fuses when you came in for a damn Robertson bit.

    What you don’t understand is that if that parent gives into the crying and does something different, that child will now continue that behavior because they learned if i scream long enough loud enough, I get my way. Yeah it sucks to be you to have to listen to the crying being a grown-up and all. But it probably sucks to be the parent in that situation even more.

    Also fuck you bud.






  • Uhhhhhhhh take this with a grain of sodium. But probably not, when your have your wheel at let say max psi on the side wall, so my truck tires are rated for a max of 80psi. Passenger car tires are typically 50psi. Now when you are driving along you hit a big pot hole or ride over a curb. When backing out of the drive way. In that moment that tire pressure will spike as wheel collapses in. Mind you it’s very brief and probably designed for that.

    Now The best way to tell would be to look for belt shift or separation. It’s pretty easy to see. There will be basically a bulge on the side of the tire or in the center. Where the belting split apart and the rubber in that spot can stretch like a balloon. You will feel it to. The fucked tire will vibrate alot when driving. Very noticeable. Like rattle your teeth noticeable.


  • Yeah, I learned the hard way about pressures and what they can do. Not as hard as others mind you.

    I started as a mechanic. Used to have a blast with the cheetah. Hell, I used one to clear out a blocked storm drain one time. That was hella fun. I do a lot of hydraulics now. Around the 90-100psi, you start to run the risk of injection injury, too. Not likely but possible. That’s why they have the safety tips on the blow guns. If the back pressure builds up over 25psi or something, the rubber let’s off and let’s the air by pass. Had a co worker loose a thumb with a paint sprayer. Got to close with the hand he had thick ass leather gloves too. Unlucky I wasn’t there when it happened. probably could have saved it if I rushed him off the e.r sooner but he didn’t know then what hydraulic injection is about and brushed it off. He showed me the next day and told me about it. Boy I near threw him over my shoulder and dragged him to get there faster.



  • DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE VALVE CORE AT THOSE PRESSURES.

    Just do the push thing. One slip and that core at best is lost at worst injures you or a bystander. They are finicky as hell when you get to the last few threads.

    Also, the higher the pressure is, the faster it will deflate. It won’t take that long. Plus, if you do decide to pull the core. At 90psi air rushing out from a small orifice like that is loud enough to cause hearing damage.

    Slow controled release of pressures is the standard procedure for any pressure vessel. Be it a tire at 90psi, a radiator at 15psi, hydraulic excavator at 5000psi, or a fuel injection pump at 30,000psi.
