Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why use a pump when you have a diver.

Imagine pulling off this amazing prison break only to emerge from the muddy water looking straight into the eyes of the same cop who caught you during your last prison break.

Happened to a pawn in one of my Prison Architect games. Dude tunneled out of his cell right into the largest of my guard rec rooms.

cop is genuinely worried about the guy drowning... guy has warrants/is wanted and doesn't want the cop to see his face. otherwise known as a Guatemalan standoff.

I actually been in this situation fixing a 6 inch main. My boss had us fix all leaks live. He hated dealing with dirty water calls you get after shutting off the water.

I was never under water during a leak or something, but i think people underestimate how easy you can drown by just a shitton of water spraying in your face.

Yeah and it was dangerous as hell, most likely an OSHA violation on top of that. Lot of the water system was in sand. Believe it or not you could also get buried alive while you are at it as well.

Legend says if your are the chosen one that he'll rise from the water and bless you with a holy pipe wrench.

Cholera?”

I've really got to hand it to that guy. If I were in his shoes, your water is now pickup only, not delivery.
