    You do pressure tests with water?

    Lets say you want to test the pressure at which an air tank explodes? If you pressurize it with water instead of gas, then when the tank fails it is not a violent explosion.

    Lets say you have a brazed silicon assembly that needs to be pressure tested. If you just pump gas into it, you are creating a bomb and run the risk of seriously injuring people if the the assembly fails.

    Use water instead because it is non-compressible, then if the assembly fails nobody dies.

    Remember water at the bottom of the deepest ocean isn't anymore dense than water at the surface. Very simply speaking of course.

    Right. Definitely so.. I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page as far as what I thought you were saying and what you were actually saying.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Factory specs except push the caster as far forward as possible. Shoot for 3+ degrees of positive caster.

    It's not home.

    Plus you get to sit there and think about all the people that did the nasty on the sheets you are putting your precious body on. And all the nasty bodily fluid stains. And other people's DNA. And how you put your face on that pillow and all the bodily fluids on that.

    Oh and while you are walking down the hallways and the room cleaners are cleaning...did you ever witness them actually having a fresh glass or coffee mug on their cart to put in that bathroom? Probably not. Only because they only rinse and wipe it down in that bathroom. Who is to say whose lips and funkified mouth was all over that glass you are using?

    And lets not mention bed bugs.

    But yeah. You enjoy that while you can. :D

    Lol well long story short im technically homeless right now so my truck and the hotel are my home/s right now.
    And its okay all the bedding and stuff smells faintly of bleach so im assuming its all "clean".
    And people drink coffee here?
    All me and my coworkers drink is beer and thats safe im assuming.
    Haha and bedbugs, my blood is soo poisonous they wouldnt bite me.

    @ian:
