Oof, damn, you’re not wrong.
I loathe and despise war, I’m all about peace.
My comment comes from my experience burning out fire ant beds.
But damn, you speak truth…

I would’ve figured they were immune to fire, given their name.

I literally thought it was a reference to US-Iran but it’s a legit showerthought.

Make the fire so big it consumes all the fuel and oxygen so it can no longer burn. Works every time.

Depends on why you’re starting the fire.

Distraction from another fire I started some time ago.

Too bad you didn’t read this post some time ago. Would have saved you a lot of trouble and fires.

Similar to a lot of my work - don’t do what you can’t undo. Write the rollback scripts at the same time as or before the implementation scripts.

Id say the first rule is know how to start it because you dont have to know how to put it out if you dont know how to start it. Lincoln log that shit.

My thought actually came from diesel engine repair education. If you’re ever working on a diesel, it’s more important to know how to shut it off than it is to get it running…

No shit i started in cnc machining. Irrelevant but wanna ask because its crissed my mind before, how hard is it to learn as a trade? Ive seen local tractor/agg suppliers qlmost constantly looking and im able to tear down and rebuild mazaks and feel like diesel engine repair wouldnt be any more difficult than that. Would it be something a place would do as on the job training or is this something that needs to be trained at a cert school/trade school?
