mormanman Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 That blows a lot. I still wish I could make whistle rockets though.
crazyboy25 Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 oh my fucking god again with the "i wish i could make" if you bought TOOLING you could its only $40 and if you are too cheap make it and if you cant do that there are other ways i have made successful whistle rockets with just a vice and a dowel.
mormanman Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Crazyboy, you need to calm down. I don't have enough money for chemicals at the moment and my vice doesn't work anymore. A lot of my shit is broken. My ball mill is dead, it doesn't work I have to repair it again or find a new motor to build a new one.
Mumbles Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 You pressed your whistle rocket wet? That is generally how cracks form. I'd suggest using drying it first. Not saying that it is the cause of your problems. The absorbtion is probably just from shitty chemicals.
hst45 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 my shit is broken. My ball mill is dead,"....And oh, mamma, can this really be the end........to be stuck here doing pyro, with my ball-mill broke again...." An homage to Bob Dylan's "Memphis Blues."
DJPork Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Hm... Where to begin... My BP sucks balls, I'm running out of chemicals and my parents are refusing to buy me any more after our beloved family pet came uncomftorbly close to getting 'owned' by a BP salute rocket with too much delay, I should be doing coursework right now, instead of posting random crap on forums and touching myself while browsing through my east German dungeon porn library, petrol prices are rising, house prices are falling, I think my goldfish is having a stroke, my girlfreind keeps macing me, putting restraining orders etc. on me (what's with all the mixed messaged, ya'know?), my toilet is broken so I have to poo in the garden, my best friend is a dickhead, I'm gonna fail my GCSEs - badly, I think there are rats in my bed, I've done nothing for the past 5 days except listen to Steve Miller Band and eat rice crispies, I'm partially on fire as I write this, I constantly smell of sulphur/sulphur oxides, people keep spitting on me when they see me coming, my farts smell like burps and my burps smell like farts (diarhea farts), my computer keeps shouting at me for not updating something or other and I think I may be sexually attracted to fire.
flying fish Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Lets see what can I RAGE about? 1. I finally got an internship...and yes I'm working on microfluidic project which is interesting stuff...but it's REALLY cutting into my sitting around time! 2. And in the sitting around time I actually have left, I can't really do much because I'm living at my Grandparents' due to the location of my internship. Ok...so they have woodworking tools/ workshop, a tv set and a high speed internet connection, but where's the pyro workshop in that? Hehe, maybe when my grandpa goes hunting I can sneak some chems into his shop and start up my "Lampblack schenanagans" again. 3. I was going to use the workworking stuff to make a wooden grip for my airsoft replica revolver that is in the mail...but it is taking for EVER to get here. I'm starting to think that the mailman stole it to give to his kid which will be a modern remake of "A Christmas Story." 4. Our newest member is crude and disqusting. I'm glad that raging e. coli is not cyber-born (or is it??!!)
ST1DinOH Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 venting room eh... well good, here goes. people have no fucking work ethic these days. all of my co-workers with very few exceptions are a bunch of worthless shitheads. most of them are on christmas break mode and we still have 2 or 3 weeks worth of work to do. these worthless pantloads are just out there milking the clock, smoking weed, and doing anything but working for the last 3 days (since thanksgiving) and it's killing my paycheck. i'm about to run an add in the paper, and fire my whole crew once the phone starts ringing. what the fuck is with people these days and this stupid fucking sense of entitlement they have. it's like everyone thinks they can just get paid for doing nothing because they exist. and it's thier right to have a job despite the fact that they are worthless pukes. [/rant] phew...now i feel better. but seriously anyone else run into these types of people at thier job. the bastards that just sit back and do just enough work to not get fired whiel everyone else picks up thier slack. i can't be the only one.
hst45 Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 people have no fucking work ethic these days. all of my co-workers with very few exceptions are a bunch of worthless shitheads.Just as an experiment, try this: run an ad and see how many people show up. In my experience, for every 100 people who want a job, you MIGHT get three people who want to work. Oh, and here's another one. Ever wonder who screws up things on jobsites? I know who it is; it's a guy named "not me." Who put diesel in the gas forklift: "not me."Who cut up the rafters for blocking: "not me."Who ran the generator without oil: "not me." And did you ever notice that NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE was ever overpaid, but EVERYONE who was underpaid suddenly becames a math major and can tell you TO THE PENNY how much you owe him for the 17 seconds of overtime he worked? This is why I hate humans......
flying fish Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 ^^^That's one of the reason why I am so happy to work for a 9 person company. There is a much tighter control on hiring, and every single person is very dedicated to their job. Basically everyone has their place. I find myself in a bit of an unnatural position as a person who has always been taught the importance of "cost savings in industry", because I've basically been told to expend rediculous amounts of resources to complete our ambitious bonding research. For instance: Boss: "Go order another 5 boxes of duster cansMe: "You know, it would be alot cheaper if we swiched to nitrogen in tanks"Boss: "Stay focused, forget costs and don't change anything. If we don't figure this thing out the government is going to pwn our asses" I guess I can understand. They say our bonding issue must be solved by christmas...which is closing in very very fast!!!
deadman Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 That's why I work in a comission based field. My paycheck is determined on my work. I just set goals and do what it takes to get them. So if I want to make 5 grand next month. I average 400 bucks a car. Then I need to sell 12.5 cars. Easy. Now do it. I hated the hourly set up. Screw corporate leeches.
jacob Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Who put diesel in the gas forklift. My buddys mom once put Gas in there Diesel tractor and ran it for a while. just a testament to japanese engines toughness i guess.
deadman Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 If it was a 50:50 gas:diesel it should have killed itself temporarily. If it was just topping it off with gas it shouldn't be too bad. Some people used to believe putting diesel in to gas engines would lubricate the pistons. It really isn't that bad, but not a good thing. My vent...I flipping hate people that break appointments.
flying fish Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 My vent...I flipping hate people that break appointments.I saw this thing on the history channel last night about Teddy Roosevelt walking miles through a blizzard and feet of snow in order to meet someone who didn't show up due to the weather. Needless to say Teddy was very pissed off. Weather is no excuse to break an appointment with Roosevelt. I agree with you though. I've had a co-worker say he would meet me at four and not show up until six. Very frustrating indeed. I've also had the same co-worker start a conversation with me at 4 and carry it on until 6! Great guy, but he seems to get sidetract when talking to people. As for my current job, I figured out why we aren't supposed to care about cost effectivness of what we are doing. Basically we have to figure out an issue with bonding devices together (which is what I am working on) before we can move forward and market our products. And since the entire worth of the company is hinging on the success of being able to fix this issue, costs of supplies are pretty much insignificant.
jacob Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 If it was a 50:50 gas:diesel it should have killed itself temporarily I think it was straight gas, don't know why it didn't destroy itself.
mormanman Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I hate fucking bitches that are so God damn hippocritical and self-centered. There is this girl and she cute and all but she is a fucking bitch. I hate her, she lied to one of my friens about a conversation we had to get my friend pissed off at me. She prides herself about never lying and me and my friend have caught her a few times, then she's like I hate liers. Pisses me off. I fell a little better.
jacob Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I sorta know what you mean, i know this girl who is soooo full of her self, she's overbearing, rude, obnoxious, and ALWAYS texting on her cellphone. ugh, i guess we all know someone like that.
mormanman Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 I sorta know what you mean, i know this girl who is soooo full of her self, she's overbearing, rude, obnoxious, and ALWAYS texting on her cellphone. ugh, i guess we all know someone like that.It makes me so angry. She's lucky I'm one of the nice pyros .
asilentbob Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Don't even joke about that. The second you even think about using pyro to fuck someone up, you are not fit for this hobby.
flying fish Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Don't even joke about that. The second you even think about using pyro to fuck someone up, you are not fit for this hobby.I don' t know man, sometimes dumping several pounds of lampblack under your ex's bed sheet (and in the shampoo bottle) is totally the way to go.
oskarchem Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Well, you know not to blow her up or burn her just to make her mad
mormanman Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Don't even joke about that. The second you even think about using pyro to fuck someone up, you are not fit for this hobby. Ok but I'm really just kidding. I'm compeletly anti-terrorist.
oskarchem Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Jesus, Had to push my 90kg motorbike un a 40° steep hil for about 2.5kml And it was raining... (btw had no more fuel)...
OneEyeCharlie Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Look on the bright side... it was only raining. It's snowing here
