That's disgusting. Imagine what that lake would be like if EVERYBODY pooped off the swim platform. People swim in that lake, Dirtman!

Fish poop in that lake... I don't hear you complaining to the fish.

Did you just defend my pooping?

My "lake" is the ocean... my poop is ending up there one way or another.

Actually, no, it doesn't. Most sewage treatment plants filter out the solid waste. That goes to the garbage dump, in an environmentally safe storage facility. The liquid is treated, and, then, yes, it is released into the river system.

Fish don't have anywhere else to poop. People do.

Soooooooo.... Does everyone in Saskatchewan work in the sewage industry??

Not really familiar with New Jersey I see.

"Environmentally safe storage facility" bahahahahahaha

You did offer to let me use your furnace... I owed you one.

Nope. Some people here work in the oil fields, some in potash mines, coal mines, gold mines, etc. We also have a lot of farmers, and many, many other types of jobs here. It's a great place to live, work, and play.

I would wager that all that ends up in a landfill are things that are manmade and shouldn’t have been flushed.

It is poop not nuclear waste. The hog confinement in town has been hauling honeywagons past where I work all week now that harvest is underway and fields are opening up so they can apply it as fertilizer and clean out their pits. Local chicken/egg operations will be doing the same.

Applied correctly it is good for the environment.

Anyone wanna guess what happens when the holding tank gets full on a boat at sea? Many WWII ships just had seats over a trough for toilets. Water was pumped in one end and everything was washed overboard out the other end.

Offshore drilling rigs had their own sewage treatment plant, and some smaller platforms in deep water had a "tender"( a medium size ship converted into living quarters, mechanical and generator rooms, mud(drilling fluid) pumps, mud tanks, etc. anchored beside them. Those had them too

NYC hauls half their raw sewage out to international waters in tankers and just dumps it.

Yea, except my dad hates that guy with a passion...

That makes it even funnier …..





to me anyways

I thought of something for this list today, and I have no idea what it was now.

Block drains. It was block drains.

I was taking the transmission out of a Freestar and it had a block drain, and I thought to myself "Why do they not still do this?" especially when the books are saying that most draining methods will recover less than 80% of system capacity.

 

[Dirtman]

That reminds me of... torque converter drains. They made things so much nicer. Haven't seen one in a very long time.

I hate that trans pans have no drains either, but they really never have except some transaxle cars I've worked on. I'm not a mechanic like @adsm08 but I work on stuff when I feel like it. One of my pet peeves, if you ask me to change a transmission filter, you're paying me to weld in a bung on the pan. Mainly cause I'm not spilling fluid on myself, I poke a hole, let it drain and then remove it and weld the bung on the hole. But it also gives me a chance to do partial fluid changes on the few customers I have that come back to me.

That would be nice on a lot of vehicles. The 6.0 PS has block drains, but you still leave around two gallons in the block even if you pull them and you have to pull the starter to get to the passenger side plug.
