because the flames from the burning tent will illuminate the recipe for the perfect flame removedant!! idk how anyone could have a problem with that
edit: hilarious with the filter plus that last sentence – how could anyone have a problem with slur-adjacent-word ?! 🤦😂
I meant the things that won't catch fire
this has been the one uniting trait for every engineer I've ever met
yeah, it was one of my favorite jobs because of that feeling of contribution. there were a couple houses where I cleaned the gutters of people who really thought we were tree-hugger wackos but hey free gutter cleaning, except I could tell the talk about their neighbors being sick and wanting to find evidence to hold that big company accountable actually gave them some pause. 🤷 cleaning someone's gutters is a small price to pay to make them rethink their situation and reconsider their best interests, if only for a moment.
uh oh
guess they're gonna get rid of me, I rarely do a job well

building inspector
how much they're legally obligated to "find" and report to you really varies, as does whether they need any kind of certification at all to go into that line of work
the inspection that was done on the house we live in missed a lot of stuff, some of which became pretty fucking obvious once we had done a little bit of home improvement diy – like, there was a whole section of ductwork between the hvac and the upstairs that was disconnected and venting into the space between the floors, and it was totally obvious to the untrained eye looking with a flashlight in the right spot, you just needed to know where to look. we lived here 18 months before we decided to investigate why the hall floor always felt so wildly warm/cold compared to the rest of the house and saw it in the first 30 seconds of peering around the HVAC area.
so yeah, moral of the story is, don't put your faith in them. dude found some obvious, surface-level code-breaking things, but there was no actual inspection of the infrastructure of the house, and we ended up finding a lot wrong. that broken ductwork wasn't even the tip of the iceberg.
you can just barely see my ears poking in at the right edge of the screen
can I help you push the button
