I pour lots of things every day. I might pour myself a cup of coffee in the morning. A glass of tea with lunch. At dinner I might pour myself a glass of milk. Sometimes I pour laundry soap into the washing machine. Once every couple of months I’ll pour some new oil in the deep fryer.
And occasionally, I’ll pour a George Dickel Barrel Select into a rocks glass (for medicinal purposes only). I can usually do all of these things while spilling very little. I mean I might miss a drop here or there, especially when I’m on my third or fourth Dickel. But, for the most part, I do a good job at getting my fluids where they’re supposed to go.
Do you know what I can’t pour without spilling? No, it’s not the fifth glass of Dickel. It’s gasoline. Do you know why? Because I have a government mandated and approved gas can. I don’t know if you’ve had to get a new gas can in the last ten years or so, but if you have, you know my pain. All of the new spill proof gas cans make me spill gas more easily than anything else I’ve ever poured.
Seriously, how do you screw up a gas can? Can it get more simple. A bottle with a spout and a hole for air. That’s all you need. But somehow, our benevolent overlords screwed them up. Old gas cans are actually a commodity today. An old employee of mine mentioned that her father (a farmer in central Indiana) goes to estate sales to find the elusive gas cans from yesteryear that have disappeared from store shelves. He sells them to other farmers. That’s right. There’s a secondary market for old gas cans because of the government. There’s also an array of YouTube videos showing how to hack the new gas cans. Really, there are countless videos to tell you how to make a government approved spill proof gas can usable.
I guess I’m now one of the lucky ones though. A few weeks ago my neighbors’ garage got damaged in a storm. When they tore it down I saw an old fashioned gas can in the dumpster. I climbed in there and grabbed it. I couldn’t let it go to waste. I’m now using a functional gas can, my apologies to those who don’t have one.

Nice choice Tres
Vintage gas cans? I didn’t know Bang was a hipster.
I still have a 5-gal SOHIO can from likely the 60s, that young Tres had to lug down the street to the ‘filling station’ to top-off with gas for the mowers.
I liked PBR before it was cool.
Lots of people don’t know how to pour from an F-style can
I don’t store combustible liquids at home in plastic; I always use steel. In a fire, plastic containers fail quickly at the temperature goes up, the fuel then runs, and the fire will then spread much more quickly than it otherwise would.
My gallon can of sea foam has the instructions for pouring written on it.
Are they on the bottom?
But does it help me huff?
I’m amazed that you can buy plastic gas cans. I would have thought that the industrial requirement for conductive/ESD materials would have migrated into the consumer realm by now.
The codes work in mysterious ways.
If I drag a 150# bottle of acetylene onto a job site, there’s six experts there to tell me how to move and chain it properly. But if you want to take your kindergarten class down Walmart’s hair spray aisle, no one lifts an eyebrow at the 1A flammable loading there.
VDA delayed the use of refrigerant 1234yf in cars HVAC for years because it’s flammable, but the charge is only a kilo or so. Those same cars already routinely carry 50kg of gasoline.
At work I had to attend a safety meeting about the dangers of acetone. When I came home that evening my daughter and her friend were removing their nail polish with acetone.
Eight year-olds, dude.
Eight year olds! Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.
I have a steel gas can.
*clings for dear life*
The one problem with metal gas cans is . . . because of the government. The ethanol blend eventually attracts water and causes them to rush. Make sure the gasoline isn’t tpp old, has a stabilizer, and if possible buy ethanol free gas. Unfortunately, I don’t have anywhere close that has the ethanol free gas
Ok, so use plastic, but give me back the screw open air intake valve and get rid of the damn safety on the pour spout!
I scored 3 metal, gerry-can style gas cans on craigslist a few years back. Still psyched that I have them.
Do you have the donkey dick?
I have the donkey dick. But I need another can.
I can help.
Step 1: find old metal can. Recycling places are a good starting point.
Step 2: Go to this wonderful website and select the appropriate adapter and spout.
Step 3: Chuckle confidently because you will never spill again.
You’re welcome.
Thx.
From the site:
“ATTENTION! If you live in California, Washington D.C., Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, or Virginia, you may not legally purchase a fuel spout. If you live in one of these states and order a fuel spout it will be replaced with the corresponding multi-use spout.”

I finished building the chemical plant in August and had been enjoying a peaceful autumn. We have brunch reservations at the (Olde) Pink House for Christmas Day and tee times thereabouts, but I otherwise had been enjoying a quiet end to the year.
Suddenly my phone’s blowing up and can you do this next month or be there next week. Okay, okay: late January, crissakes.

December is historically the busiest month of the year for me. Everyone who’s fiscal year follows the calendar year, has a budget in January or so for testing. LIke most people, the environmental departments put it off until the very end. Toyota is a big example.

But I had a tight connection and he was going the other direction.
I had to choose between a tequila shot and a quick chat.

@Hyperbole.
This is in regards to my post in the dead thread about athletes whining about getting screwed in Trump’s tax policy. Below the quotes is my response to your comment.
“Also if taxation is theft, these overpaid pampered athletes are getting fucked, apparently envy isn’t only a trait of the left.”
Ahh, you completely missed the point. These pampered pos’s are for the most part sjw’s who approve of the government doing more with other people’s money. And when they find out it’s their money the government is taking, they bitch and moan. I repeat, cry me and effin river. You reap what you sow.
If you are migrating that thread I’ll migrate my response:
I doubt Hyperbole’s good faith. He pounces on anything he can possibly interpret as inconsistent with libertarian purity and posts in a sneering and belligerent tone. It has bothered me for a while, but tonight it pushed my buttons enough (or a few beers following two days of tax conference boredom/rage had me on the edge enough) that I started responding.
Where I a doctor of jurisprudence, if I was to sit in the compulsory conference you described, Id start suing everyone in sight, Ally McBeal style.
A JD is not really a doctorate. My father who attended the same law school as me, with roughly the same hour, course and time requirements has an LLB (bachelor of law ). The law schools changed it to a JD to sound more prestigious, but it is BS.
Kinda like adding an ESQ
If you compare the classroom hours for a JD vs a PhD the JD actually has a few more as a requirement. Only difference is the JD doesn’t do a thesis defense. Historically that makes some sense as the entirety of law education post clerkship was to be a didactic of being grilled on cases and defending positions in front of your peers.
Ouch!, sorry you feel that way, but please don’t mistake my snark for insincerity, aside from quick one-line riffs, if I post an opinion here I genuinely hold it. I may pick the battles that I think will get some feedback, but isn’t that the point of discussion?
It often comes across to me, as scoring cheap points and as excessively hostile. There have been times when I found your point actually insightful and where it challenged prejudices of mine, and for that you deserve credit, but other times it seems more mean spirited.
I doubt Hyperbole’s good faith.
I’ve just made the same point in the previous thread.
I’m not usually a corpse banger, but let me go back to that thread and see what’s a cookin’.
I get your point, but I’m not gonna start tone policing. That’s my wife’s specialty.
I’ll be Hyperbole’s White Knigit! It’s right their in his damn name folks, he’s pushing the envelope. But he’s good people.
On topic. I had to buy a new gas can to get a buddy off the side of the road last month and we easily spilled a gallon out of the 4 down his car and onto the road because of the idiotic spout/cut off valve. Who the hell decided adding the air intake into the same opening as the pour spout and adding a ‘safety’ that requires the spout on a 5 gallon can to be damn near vertical to function would reduce spills?
Listen, I happily prefer the old fashioned Jerry can + donkey dick, but am I really the only one that figured out how to get the damn thing to work without modifying the can?
Something here is amiss.
I have not used one with the squeeze trigger/handle and can see how it might work. The one I used required the collar of the spout to be pressed back toward the can to open the valve. with a 5 gallon can it is very difficult to hold the can in position and manually pull the collar, and the geometry of the fill aperture and spout made it impossible to press the collar back using the aperture without holding the can almost vertical, at which point it leaked because the washer intended to seal the spout to the can was deformed by the process of removing the plug from the base of the spout before assembling it.
I’ve got three of those. I hate that spout with a white hot heat.
The one I have you press the catch in and to the side, then insert the spout, oriente it at a 45 degree angle, and let the weight of the can compress the spring to the internal safety sleeve.
Its slow as hell, but otherwise empties.
I’ve got a one gallon can that you have to depress and slide back the seal, and it’s spring loaded.
Up at the cabin I have three cans you take the cap off the spout.
Now I smell like gas, to make sure I got that right.
I’ve use a few and some designs are better than others. But all of them are slow, and most of them cause you to spill more. Also, I just hate the government interfering with anything, but especially things that work fine.
That I agree with. It is an answer to the question nobody asked, but then again thst describes most solutions the government comes up with.
I (used to) work on motorcycles. I’ve used a lot of gas cans, a lot. My last can split it’s side and I had to buy a new one.
A. it was frustrating to get it to allow fuel out at all. It would prolly be easier with a car than a bike.
B. it only allowed fuel back out ONCE. Two weeks later, I went and filled it, came home and nothing would come out. Nothing.
C. The auto parts store would not accept it back. All gas can sales final. They said it was because of people trying to “borrow them,” BUT…it only became their policy with the new fangled crappy assed cans.
I looked around on web and found a case where some moran tried to goose a bonfire with a Blitz can, the fire did what it does and ran up the stream to the can and roasted the idiot. He sued and put Blitz out of business AND forced these retarded cans on the whole country in the process. I just imagine the Chinese people making these things shaking their heads and thinking we are all too stupid to handle GAS in a CAN and just pour it the fuck into whatever needs it.
Btw, I just drilled out all the crap blocking the flow. Now it works, but spills a good amount (which sucks when it’s a custom with nice paint.)
So what you’re saying is they’ve also made it harder to commit suicide with a gas can. Thus forcing more people to use guns. And then, they’ll tell us gun violence has gone up, when I would have much preferred to off myself as a fireball with an old fashioned gas can.
The “pro-spill” gas cans are indeed infuriating. If you’re in a Canuck-adjacent state I’ll note that conventional gas cans are still sold North of the Wall. Otherwise your local powersports retailer should have an off-road only “not for transport” fuel can that will dispense your combustibles efficiently and in style.
It’s always a sad day when the Canadians are doing something better than us.
I am amused by this comment.
That is all; carry on.

I have the 1.5 gal “safety” can with the spring loaded gas release nozzle. You have to firmly press the dammed thing against the tank to get the gas out. So what ends up happening is you force the side of the plastic tank on your lawn mower and deform it over time.
It also has a child proof safety tab on the nozzle nut that requires a ridiculous level of pressure to screw it on. I cut it off with a box cutter after two uses.
Lawnmower is bad enough. Try pushing against something lightweight like a leaf blower or a weed eater. Besides leaking down the tube at the spring point. Shit is twice as dangerous as the “old” cans. Even the previous paddle trigger style were better than the spring nozzle. I wish to God every member of the CPSC and the California fire marshall’s office sets themselves on fire after splashing a gallon of guzzoline on themselves. Fuck those assholes making the world a worse place.
I also miss the 2in1 cans for bar oil and gas.
The leaf blower and wee eater are definitely where most of my spillage occurs.
These are ridiculously expensive but they work. I bought one in a rage when the pos nozzle on one of the stupid cheap cans fell apart while pouring into my generator. At night in an ice storm. Very controlled, no spill. https://www.justrite.com/safety-cans-and-containers/type-ii-accuflowtm-steel-safety-cans.html
As in, parts of the nozzle went into the generator tank.
The spring loaded handle that opened the cap is what I used in the fire service. Very serviceable but sometime(the horror!), you had to use a funnel.
I hate the California gas pumps nozzles that are either supposed to be safer or spill proof or whatever. I could not get the danged things to interface with my Ford Expedition for shit. I always gave up in frustration with 3/4 tank or so. Such a pain.

Acceleration is a drug.
Pretty much this. No lag at all. No shake, no noise. Just acceleration. Low center of gravity, so great in California hills.
And intuitive controls and luxury interior. And enhanced autopilot.
Say hello to that trailer when your car hits it.
Americans buy power but what you drive is torque.
So it’s powered by the solar panels on your roof?
Yup, and I’m getting a Tesla wall (x2) batteries so we can get practically off grid.
Very nice.
One of my prog friends has a Nissan Leaf. He’s always telling people how much he’s saved on gas. And other prog friends nod their heads and praise him. They all looked at me like I was the weird one when I asked how much it raised his electric bills.
I have had one as a rental. Not a fan of the sewing machine motor. Or style. Or comfort.
I don’t think I’d have gotten the Tesla without the solar that was on the roof when we got the house.
But just 2 weeks ago they installed a bunch of EV chargers at work, so I’m golden now.
I actually don’t mind his Leaf, I just hate that he can’t be honest that he traded gasoline for electricity from a coal fire powerplant (we’re one of the few districts left that hasn’t converted to natural gas, but it is planned for 2020). The car doesn’t bother me, the smug does
The Southpark episode on the EV named the “Pious” was great.
In sunny SoCal with panels, EVs make sense. In my former home of Minnesota, not so much.
I guess it makes sense in Florida. We have pretty low energy rates. I just don’t want to buy a new car ever again, if I can help it.
Especially makes sense with solar on the roof. Don’t worry though, my F-150 gets probably bad enough mileage to offset you and him!
To Florida Man – lease a Leaf. Nissan will practically pay you to own it. It’s around $200 a month regular maintenance included and you can usually negotiate a charger install at the house. Good God no, don’t charge at the house, charge in the priviledged spots at work or Walgreens, but it raises your house resale value. Keep your gas burner for real travel.
And how much was the tax rebates that made it make sense ?
Would it have made sense without those taxpayer funded rebates ?
Just curious.
The self denial you referenced is writ large by Germany’s proclamation years ago to shut down all its nuke power. They did so, but couldn’t keep up through renewables, so their energy pie chart got a smaller nuke wedge over time but a bigger “Imported” wedge.
It was nuke power from the much less safe and efficient former Soviet Estonia, Latvia, Lithuanian plants.
SMDH
(Self denial by your Leaf friend)
a MUCH larger wedge from the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline too – so Germany won’t say/do anything serious WRT Putin.
My leaf dropped my bills. I hate it in comparison to my previous car which burned proper dino-blood. In comparison to the Tesla, the leaf is a compromised design. It lacks a guiding principle and I hate virtually all of the ergonomic choices. However, for the price, it is the superior player in the market.
That’s for vapors. It’s literally saving the world, they say. My car likes some but not others. Try another station until one works. One prolly will.
I sold the 2000 Ford to a cook at our local county club, so no longer my problem.
But thanks for the tip. I might have to drive my hubbys Escape sometime and fuel it.

About ten minutes ago, I finished eating a chimichanga filled with shredded grilled chicken, double refried beans, rice, and finely diced ghost peppers. Topped with melted colby-jack and Spanish Garden’s extra hot sauce…I think I’m going to die.
You’re definitely going to die, it’s just a matter of when.
My ex, riding around some country roads with her cousin… “OH MY GOD WE’RE GONNA DIE!” Her cousin says, “Yes, we are going to die…” turns to look at her “Someday.”
But TH is gonna die tonight for sure.
Lol. I do love it when the news talks about raising/lowering your risk of death.
I’m just hoping it’s not occurring this evening due to spontaneous combustion via my choice for ‘Make Something Interesting Night’ in the kitchen. I took an omeprazole several hours before dinner but I’m not convinced it’s going to help. At the least, I’ll be shitting liquid fire by morning.

Ghost peppers are the devil.
Ghost peppers burn on both ends. But they’re delicious.
My father learned the lesson about respecting the ghost peppers at Thanksgiving when he grabbed my grinder of smoked ghost peppers and put it on his plate. I let adults make bad decisions at my house, when one of the nephews tried putting it on the other nephew’s meal, I stepped in.
Aww…see, this belongs in that thread about when kids should be free and when they need adults to protect them.
I can handle the entry much better than I can the exit.
I don’t like burning on either end. I can only SMDH at the weird genes that allow you people to eat that stuff.
I could eat pretty hot food when I smoked, but since my taste buds grew back it rally bothers me.
Ha. Is that a nick thing? I don’t notice any difference in my taste buds since I went to vaping a few months ago.

I had Thai once. I asked for it “Thai hot”. I was used to very hot food at that point, so no problem. I had an Indian (dot) colleague who wanted to try a bite. I was so used to hot food by that point I described as “not really that hot”. That turned out to be an uncool thing to do, because he had to grab his napkin.
These three rat bastard lawyers are pretty much responsible for the stupid retard cans:

“Consumers have accused the company of making faulty cans that explode when used to pour gasoline onto fires.”

I’m just glad we got those dangerous cans off the market. Now I can pour gasoline on my fire worry free!
Bring back contributory negligence rules and you fix a lot of this nonsense. Comparative negligence opened the door for the whole “I did something stupid and got hurt using your product so I should be paid.”

This is the result of living in the most litigious society on Earth.
I’d blame the judges and the defense lawyers on this one. If that’s your set of facts the suit should be tossed on summary judgement.

Ok, I’m typing from a 4 1/2 hour flight from Atlanta to San Diego. I have the aisle seat in coach, and there’s a guy in the middle seat.
But the window seat is empty! So when they were closing the boarding doors, I said “Wow,looks like we’re lucky! We can spread our!”
But now we’re about 2 hours into the flight and he’s sill in the middle seat.
I’m slightly weirded out TBH…
I hate that person. Prolly zero social skills and nothing to worry about but still.
Don’t fall asleep
I turned the overhead light on…
What an asshole!
He’s trying to honeypot you.
No, seriously, I’d lose my shit on this person. This would be more than socially acceptable.
I can’t imagine being voluntarily squished up next to a stranger’s thigh.
Can’t be normal, and I think an Aspie would be the opposite so not sure about the social skill lack of awareness theory.
Hawt.
What kind of gas can does he have?
What would be worse? Creepy contact, or a seriously venting gas can?
I’ll take the can for 590 Alex.
Politely ask him if he wouldn’t mind taking the window seat due to you being subject to a mild case of claustrophobia during long flights. If he doesn’t get/ignores the hint, approach a flight attendant and discreetly ask to be reseated.
I think he’s asleep. Or pretending to be. I dunno.
It is weird tho. Maybe he has mommy issues.
Well, be a pal and nurse him.
Oh geez. That is creepy AF, especially because I sport a decent sized rack that touched his arm when I reached for the light as he reached for something in the seat pocket.
Crimony, no wonder he didn’t want to switch seats. Probably hoping for more of that hot tricep on bosom action.
Go on.
Ok, it DID actually just get worse.
He stirred a bit in his “nap” and reached up with his right arm (the one closest to me) and stretched. I am leaning way out into the aisle at this point.
A couple of minutes later, I figured out what his motion was: he put UP the arm rest that was between us!!
I believe the scales just tipped from clueless to pervy.
I called over an attendant and she’s looking for another seat for me.
Oh, that’s you next to me, sorry, thought I was being suave.
Can’t he just hook up with you on Grindr like a normal air passenger?
Wrong app for that.
Okay, here you go. In a loud voice say, “if you try and grope me again, I’m going to scream!”. Make sure you’re cringing away from him when you say this, with your hands up in front of you.

Hey, we shared that sad song by Camera Obscura. (I hear they’re finally touring again!) Here’s another sad song to remember me by. It’s awfully upbeat for a sad song, but reading the lyrics, I think it’s awfully poignant: a natural-born loser and his whore girlfriend.
I work out to this song and get my heartbeat up over 200bps. Bittersweet af.
Well if he’s truly asleep and there’s a few seats open, he shouldn’t notice or care if you ask to be reseated. Be clear the creepy dude hasn’t actually done anything outside of the airline’s code of conduct but state you’d appreciate it if you could move to another location for the duration of the flight. I don’t know. I hate to be a fuss as well but it isn’t a totally unreasonable request.
There aren’t any more aisle seats tho, and I’d have to take up someone else’s empty middle seat.
I’ll survive.

As a mechanic, I recently got called to look at a food truck that wouldn’t start. It was a late 70’s/early 80’s Grumman Curbmaster. It didn’t take long to figure out a bum siphoned the gas from the tank for either huffing or selling from a barrel ala Cheech ‘n’ Chong. I bought a new style gas can, filled it and tried to pour into the fill neck. It was completely incompatible. I ended up removing the cap from the new can, attaching a rubber hose to a funnel and splash the fuel into the tank. If the goal was really to reduce gas vapors in the atmosphere, they would revert back to the old style cans. I have several old cans at the house. They never venture past my property line.
No, this bit of goofy stupidity is to prevent us from torching ourseleves by pouring gas directly onto fires, believe it or not.
As someone who has been on fire 3 times, gasoline had nothing to do with it.

Looks like a 14 year old Tina…pass.
My yellow vest just popped a yellow tent. *Nasal French snort/laugh.
Today’s lunch was something called “Western Miso Soup”. Fish sausage and broccoli added but no tofu. Not bad.
‘Fish Sausage’, so Japan is all in on the many genders as well?

They usually call it “fish cake” which sounds even nastier.
Ugh, I pick those nasty things out of my soup.
JUST EAT THE DAMN SOUP. Seriously, it’s not as bad as “Kanikama” which is fish parts ground, pressed and then colored to look like crab. No crab in it. That stuff is the spam CPRM is looking for.

Wtf? Non Latin domain names??
Yeah but still very rare. I don’t think I know how to type that into the address bar.
Hey, the one taste of ‘The Good Life’ I got in my childhood was a damaged box of crab legs; we got so sick of it to this day I prefer poor man’s crab to real crab.
We order a shitton of whole, fresh crabs every New Years. Mother in law makes a giant feast for everyone and Dad in law never lets my sake glass get below half full. Crab is my death row last meal.
We were so sick of it we were trading it around town instead of paying bills. “Oh, we owe you a hundred dollars? Here take this box of crab!”
But, that’s the way it works, crab and lobster were the poor peoples food once upon a time, just a renewal of the cycle.
Damn. They must’ve been frozen. That’s a seppuku worthy sin.
Oh look at Mister “I live near an ocean, look at me!”
Better seafood, worse cheese curds. Trade offs.
How are the fish frys?
Ahhh, more stuff I hadn’t thought about in 30 years. What’s next? Moon boots?
I had some moon boots, but I can still get a fish fry every Friday.
There’s even a soul song about it.
It’s Friday now, where’s the fish fry?
At my house, Rachel Stevens is supposed to give you an invite.
I picked the wrong night for a French tart.
I like fish, but not ground up into a compact bomb of fish flavor.
Fine! No bonito flakes for you!
Have you ever seen how they make katsuobushi? You’d think they were making sabots if you saw the bonito midway through the process.
I have no idea what any of that means, so… no.
If you’re interested.

Dang. I like a simple fish tossed in the oven and thrown on a plate. The overkill in that video better be worth it.
Done properly, no can defense, Rhywun-san. Heavenly.

That looks great. Better than “Dancing Awabi”.

That looks like Spam.
My car has two headlights, but Bob Dylan’s son could only afford a car with one headlight. This is why we need Medicare For All.
Put too much brandy in the eggnog tonight.
I would say you put too much eggnog in the brandy.
I put too much Mountain Dew in my cognac.
She’s a fine girl.
mmm, Brandy
God damn kids these days. No. Real music.

Damn old Gyjin!
Boom-chi-boom-chi-boom-boom-chi. Repeat. Makes Milly Vanilly sound unformulaic.
Needs moar shoulder pads.
^So much this
MUTHERFU….That was meant for straff, and I even refreshed!
Finally about to land!! I sure hope this was the last trip for the year.
Was a bit worried about ya. Creeps are creepy.
Yeah,it was helpful to have you guys to chat with. We got out of WiFi range over New Mexico and Az (so it said) so I was on my own. Creeper tied to put his head on my shoulder and press against me and received a very sharp elbow and verbal warning.
I think he’s completely stoned. Flight attendant had to come by and roughly shake him awake just to get his seat back upright.
I miss first class.
Crazy, creepy and freaky people everywhere. I’m not a female, so it’s a bit different when I come across them. Flying sucks as it is without McGrabby next to you. Get some sleep. Friday is good so far.
Damn that sucks. You should “stumble” and put an elbow in his throat.
