Fight fire with more fire!!!
Make the fire so big it consumes all the fuel and oxygen so it can no longer burn. Works every time.
This guy gets it!
The first of starting fires is, there is no starting fires!
Fine, more weed for me…
previous post i just read was about US not having a plan for Iran…
Oof, damn, you’re not wrong.
I loathe and despise war, I’m all about peace.
My comment comes from my experience burning out fire ant beds.
But damn, you speak truth…
I’m all about peace
the ants disagree
True LOL!
I would’ve figured they were immune to fire, given their name.
They are, that’s why I ended up trying other things…
Put it this way, ant bed went pop, and they never came back.
I literally thought it was a reference to US-Iran but it’s a legit showerthought.
Depends on why you’re starting the fire.
Distraction from another fire I started some time ago.
Too bad you didn’t read this post some time ago. Would have saved you a lot of trouble and fires.
we didn’t light it but we’re trying to fight it
stops pouring gasoline
We’re what now?
oh hey lookit the sorcerer’s apprentice over here…
Similar to a lot of my work - don’t do what you can’t undo. Write the rollback scripts at the same time as or before the implementation scripts.
Id say the first rule is know how to start it because you dont have to know how to put it out if you dont know how to start it. Lincoln log that shit.
My thought actually came from diesel engine repair education. If you’re ever working on a diesel, it’s more important to know how to shut it off than it is to get it running…
No shit i started in cnc machining. Irrelevant but wanna ask because its crissed my mind before, how hard is it to learn as a trade? Ive seen local tractor/agg suppliers qlmost constantly looking and im able to tear down and rebuild mazaks and feel like diesel engine repair wouldnt be any more difficult than that. Would it be something a place would do as on the job training or is this something that needs to be trained at a cert school/trade school?
What Is A Diesel Engine Runaway?

Watch that video, they explain it more in depth than I can.
Ultimately it shouldn’t be significantly any more difficult than servicing or rebuilding any other engine, but with diesels, there’s a huge safety factor to consider, called diesel engine runaway.
Diesel doesn’t use spark plugs, so there are conditions where if everything isn’t running right, you can’t shut the engine down, and it could ultimately either explode, or drive away uncontrolled if still in gear.
So, lesson number one of working on a diesel is to know how to shut it off in an emergency. Since it doesn’t use spark plugs, then turning the key off is no guarantee that the engine will stop. You have to know how to either stop the fuel supply, or starve the air intake, in an emergency, when the vehicle might even be in motion…
