Agree, and I hope he hit his head REAL HARD when he went down. Such stupidity deserves to be dealt with so swiftly. I've always thought that stupidity should hurt, and in this case it probably did.
I knew a bar owner who told me about similar behavior in his club… His take? “Hell, I’m the one that sold ‘em enough booze to make their IQ lower than their body temperature, damage like that is just a cost of doing business…” He kept a plumber and an electrician on call, 24/7.
To rivet two or more pieces together you have to drill lots of holes all of which have to line up and you need two people, one on the gun and one on the bucking bar. The spot welds holding a car together are done by robots, much quicker and cheaper when you're building a car every minute. The Golden Gate Bridge and the Eiffel Tower are still standing so rivets obviously last. Al_in_Ottawa
Proper welding on steel is stronger than rivets. But it's that 'proper' part. You can see bad riveting and bad riveted joints. Bad welds? You can see if the surface weld is good or not, but it's hard to see deep into the joint unless you have some serious equipment.
Starker here, No matter the method, being done properly is key. WWII Liberty ships, the rivitted ones contained the cracks that formed where the welded ones broke along the whole weld. The Titanic had improper rivets that contributed to the sinking. The cracks in the Liberty ship turned out to be embrittlement in the steel not just welds. Welding is much quicker & therefore less costly. Another aspect of rivets as compared to bolts they stretch before breaking, like nails in lumber construction vs screws.
My grandfather started his 40 year career as a ship fitter installing rivets that size by hand. Like 20 lb maul by hand. Four man crew, heater (on a portable coke furnace), passer, catcher/holder and then the beater. Rotated throughout the day. He told me once how many rivets they did in a 12 hour shift - high 4 figures. When men were harder than rivets. I miss him, he had fantastic stories
You can be pretty damn sure that all the while he's healing he will be blaming "whitey" for all his troubles. (I think I'm gonna name the urinal at work Whitey.)
9: When I was in grade 2, there were some kids in grade 5 who were always picking on us at recess for whatever reason. I remember blindly swinging like this at one of them (it was straight up in the air because he was that much taller than me) and I caught him square in the nose. He was bloodied, and I thought he was gonna kill me, but he didn't and they never bothered us again after that, and I got a completely undeserved reputation as a tough guy that lasted a good 7 years.

#2. It's Them again, trying to ruin something for no good reason.
ReplyDeleteI've seen many more gifs and videos of drunken white girls doing shit like this than I have black kids. Just sayin'.

DeleteMale, female, colors, the question is:
DeleteDid they take sufficient damage to get the lesson across?
I hope it really hurt.
DeleteSeriously retarded. Should be under 24 hour surveillance. Just saying.

#2 Good to see physics punish what the courts no longer will!
ReplyDelete-Just a chemist
Some hoodrat vandalizing. FAFO
DeleteIt's always them, Boo-Boo.
ReplyDeleteI found putting in rivets and getting a tight joint to be really satisfying.
ReplyDelete*8 Guy is so stoned he couldn't help his girl even when she was on fire.
ReplyDeleteHe's probably just sick of her wanting to be the center of attention all the time.
DeleteWas that Mac Miller ?
Delete#10 I wonder how far out to sea that dog was. Good men.
ReplyDeleteI bet he passed out drunk, and his buddies played a practical joke.
DeleteThat crew man. True hero.
DeleteBesides weight savings I've wondered about the merits and demerits of welding vs riveting.

#1: Somehow sexually satisfying.
ReplyDelete#2: Pegs the schadenfreude meter needle
#2 and#9........Some people are just born with low IQs.
ReplyDelete#8 - Oh, my hair's on fire? Thanks for telling me, Amad. Wouldn't want to get your fingers singed.
ReplyDeleteNumber 1: Used to do that. When properly done, rivets are a superior fastener than anything save for the highest-grade fasteners.
ReplyDelete#2 Typical of the 13%ers...
ReplyDelete#2 I hope the fuck it hurt...
ReplyDelete# 7. So many helpful dogs this week

2. Those broken ribs ought to keep him out of trouble for a while.
ReplyDeleteYou can be pretty damn sure that all the while he's healing he will be blaming "whitey" for all his troubles. (I think I'm gonna name the urinal at work Whitey.)
Delete#10 - God bless the sailor who swam out to rescue that pup.
ReplyDeleteI think they just found a "ship's" mascot. There are good people out there.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read that story.
#2- Nice skill set- can't even successfully vandalize a urinal- would you hire him?
ReplyDelete4) Fish: "I've got him now! He'll never find me!"
ReplyDeleteIt kind of reminds me of my kingsnake when she misses the mouse and grabs my finger. Little pain, but *sigh* I gotta wait until she figures it out.
