Shows how much I know. I always figured the rating marked on the stand was for each one, not a pair.

Well now: How Are Jack Stands Rated? Complete Guide - AGradeTools.com - https://agradetools.com/jack-stands-rating/
After ASME PASE-2014 became effective in 2015 all jack stands must be rated per pair and not per individual stand. Previously, some companies were advertising jack stands with individual ratings, but in 2019 you will always be seeing jack stands rated as a pair. Therefore, a 6-ton rated jack stand has only a 3-ton maximum load individually. Therefore, make sure when buying jack stands, you get a pair with a weight rating higher than the vehicle you will be using them under. Also, even if a jack stand is individually stamped as “3-ton or 6-ton” it is still referring to its weight rating as a pair– confusing, to say the least.
 
I am not an engineer and this is speculation on my part. The stands are rated in pairs, lets say 6 ton. I BELIEVE that the stands are rated in pairs and also designed to be used in pairs. Which leads me to question if half a pair (1 stand) is actually rated at 3 tons when used alone. I simply do not know.
 
Well, I don't expect any significant response, but I did email Torin just to see what their response. I will share with the peanut gallery if I hear back.
 
Jack Stands should (in the US) follow ASME PALD standards, rated in pairs, and each one should stand 200% the rated capacity. Thats how the ASME gets around the jackass using the jacked card to jack one side and not reading the jacking instructions in the jacking fine print.
 
My fellow humans never cease to amaze me.

I put my little Goodyear tires up for sale on FB, guy pings me:

Him: How far are you from Smithfield?
Me: Looks like 35 miles.
Him: I'll give you asking price if you bring them here and mount and balance them for me.
Me: You want a reach-around too?

Should have offered him Road Side Assistance and 50K Mile warranty
 
How hard is it to slip the suspension back in the foam from the manufacturer? This is how my 6112 showed up from the company I bought it from. Maybe I'm over-reacting cause they look OK, but doesn't seem that hard to keep the bottom foam the same and just adapt the top.

Saw an add for a new lexus or honda car where it was showcasing how it can stop itself.....and they chose to show a mindless idiot looking down at their phone as they walked out into a street before looking.....and the car stopped (HOW AWESOME!!!!) (also, the woman driver wasn't really paying attention). Not one mention of "look both ways before you cross the street"

Instead, we strap LIDAR and RADAR to honda accords now (that you have to pay for and maintain and fix), so there are less negative repercussions for being dumb.

So this is how far we have devolved. Got it.
 
They should have had it stopping for John McClane as he ran, barefoot, across a busy street chasing after a German terrorist fleeing the Nakatomi building. That would've been the smart move. At least it would have been a justifiable reason to run into the street without looking!
 
Aye, my fellow humans...

I stopped at a walk-up ATM. A woman was parked beside it, sitting in her SUV talking on the phone. As soon as I got out of my truck, she walked up to the ATM to beat me to it.

She stood in front of it and talked on the phone. I very politely asked if I could do a quick withdrawal. She responded that she was waiting on a transfer into her account, and that's why she was on the phone. So I politely asked again if I could just get my withdrawal and be on my way. Got the stink-eye from her.

She put her card in, seemingly to check the balance. Receipt was given, she removed her card, and... stood there talking on the phone.

Waited about 2 minutes. I asked again if I could get my withdrawal. She said she was on the phone w/ the person transferring money to her account. So I asked again. More stink-eye.

She checked her balance a second time and got more animated on her call. In a loud voice, I said, "Can you stop being a f****** a**hole and let me get my f****** withdrawal you stupid f***?" At which point she walked away and I managed to get my withdrawal.
 
Seeeeee, and people think I am Gruff just because I skip all that preliminary stuff and go straight to your last paragraph. Saves so much time and angst.
 
No, Stan, you are gruff because you are gruff. Nuff said, gruff
 
Aye, my fellow humans...

What makes this even better is that I've actually met you and was vaguely reminded of Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Banner (Avengers Hulk). In my head that's the voiceover I heard and at the end you started turning a little green....
 
I don't know who needs to hear this, but DO NOT include I40 /I440 / I540 on any school bus route, kids or no kids, between the hours of 6-8 am and 4-6 pm. EVER. NC has millions of miles of road, those vehicles traveling at 45 mph can use any number of them.

Even if you don't care abut the slow down, it's super dangerous.
 
I just read an article about people overdosing on Ivermectin in Oklahoma. They are taking it to fight Covid. Ivermectin is a damn HORSE wormer.

Fing IDIOTS.

New age natural selection at it's finest.

You sure it isn't another stupid internet challenge? Maybe Tide Pods weren't extreme enough 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, surprised that Rolling Stone article that spread among the intelligentsia didn't say that it was Duke Lacrosse doing the dosing. From the hospital:
Although Dr. Jason McElyea is not an employee of NHS Sequoyah, he is affiliated with a medical staffing group that provides coverage for our emergency room.

With that said, Dr. McElyea has not worked at our Sallisaw location in over 2 months.

NHS Sequoyah has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin. This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose.

All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate. Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care.
