What Annoyed You Today? (8 Viewers)

Sounds like the Flake Sodium Hydroxide we used at work in the 60s-70s. Donot add to water but add the water to it. And as advised, use rubber gloves and eyewear when handling.
When the water hits it, it generates a lot of heat. It does clean car parts very well and is an excellent paint remover.

No, you should add the soda crystals to a larger quantity of water. If you pour some water into a quantity of dry soda crystals, you can get an explosion from the exothermic reaction and gassing.
Also, beware putting dry crystals down into a pipe, it can set into a solid lump or possibly the reaction may blow the dangerous stuff out!
Usually, the soda should be mixed to a suitable solution and used as per the instructions.
Beware, this stuff is lethal to animals, children and even adults if safety precautions are not followed!

That all make sense, but I'm just stating how the directions say to use the product.

Dropped a 50 pound server I was working on from about 2 feet in the air, luckily the big toe on my left foot broke its fall. Spoke several known cuss words and several unknown to man until now ones afterwards.

Laughing with, not at.

Been there. dropped that so I'm laughing at

I kinda felt like washing my own mouth out with soap afterwards, but I can't remember what kind Ralphie (You'll shoot your eye out kid) said tasted the best.

Imagine working for a company, where they run of gas for their forklifts, twice....in a fortnight!
You couldn't make shit like this up, among other things what goes on here!

Having extra gas sitting around is inefficient. That's why we have gone to the "Not in Time" ordering system.

Colorization of monochrome images; a 2020s trend to satisfy morons.

Having a chance to raise the bar and getting two old guys, a cheap guy, and a decent utility player. They won't be going far in the playoffs.

Going through the backlog of mail after getting back from Thailand. I discovered that I have to some docs signed, notarized and sent in today before close of business or lose a medical benefit.

Yikes! Good luck with that Rob! At least you found out with a few hours to spare!

Canadian wildfire smoke!!!! Would be nice to step outside for a breath of fresh air once and a while, but instead get to have a smoke without even needing a cigarette.
Hotter than blazes one day, raining the next, and the "nice" days the air is filled with smoke. I didn't think I'd ever say this, but I'm looking forward to Winter.
Rant over, for now.

Just got it done. I rewarded myself with a scrambled eggs and bacon sandwich. From that place on the corner. I don't know why theirs are so good.

Think how much worse it is is Canada and thank the fates/gods/whatever that you are not having to deal with that.

Their bacon comes, naturally smoked, on the hoof, from Canada

Had 54 more fires start yesterday from lightning. It was going great until yesterday. Less than 80 burning and only 38 out of control
