nothing compares to working in 112°F under a blazing sun with 75% humidity, zero cloud cover and zero wind.

did I mention you're doing this for 10-12 hours a day while performing complex geometry and handling tools that can cut off your fingers, arms, or legs?

all while the boss is driving site to site in a blast freezer on wheels bitching about why it takes too god damn long to put up some walls or sheet the walls/roof.

sometimes I miss it, most the time I want to forget it.

you're absolutely right (swear I'm not a bot). if anything, kinking it would lead to a vacuum forming which would counter the siphon. good call out.

two tubes in the hole. first tube goes in deep enough to sit at the bottom of the tank fully submerged in the gas.

second tube is only long enough to sit in the pipe that feeds the tank, so it's not in any gas.

stuff the rag into the hole around the tubes as tightly as possible making an air tight seal.

put first tube into gas can. blow into second tube.

as pressure builds in the tank, gas will flow out of the first tube.

make sure you kink the air tube so your pressure doesn't escape

getting Giovanni Giorgio vibes from this picture.

dad didn't like the taste of gas so he used a rag and two hoses.

I guess you didn't grow up around cars.

how many football fields is that?

but nobody ever asks about semi-solid snake...

I refuse to buy a car made after 2013, so I believe it.

I shouldn't have laughed at this as hard as I did, but the absurdity of it was just too great.

guess what.

it's

you have hate boner for the US or something?

had an 83 f100. the first time I took a turn too fast I got thrown into the passenger seat.

I'm lucky it was a back road and I had legs long enough to still press the brake enough to slow down enough to get back into the driver seat and carry on.

wasn't long after that and I got a newer truck with bucket seats.

sure, benches were fun and easy to fucksleep on but the safety trade off made it an easy choice to make.

lol.

yes...but no... but yes.

salaried employees don't get paid depending on how long or when they work.

almost guarantee op is salaried.

the worlds top 40 wealthiest people.

eh, you get used to it.

that sounds very specific to your country. the majority of salaried positions in the world have little to no regulation.

your position is enviable, and I feel like you just wanted to humble brag about it.
