Thats something that would shit me too

Theyre >sitting< in their offices and doing non manual labour - they got their aircons tho, probably reverse cycle, chewing up 3kw of power per hour

Factory workers, busting their arses in hot weather and they get given a spray bottle? Nigga please

Time for a riot (or to get the union to do their damn job for a change)

our bosses sit in an a/c office all shift and come out for maybe 5 minutes a night to give everyone the eagle eye and go back to there 20 degree room :P we move tons of freight hourly by hand rain hail or shine. i get paid decent to do it so i dont care heaps but to make us work in 40+ heat for the same wage and same hours is bit of a joke

cheers for that Damo and Krishy. Emailed a resume off and got an email back saying yes, your cover letter sounds like you are a very good candidate, but your resume is in a format we are unable to open.

More than likely thats happened to the 10+ jobs i have applied for, and heard nothing back..ergh.

Actually gets a bit chilly sitting around in datacenters/server rooms, now if only IBM graced us with variable fan controls.

You could always just sit infront of some cisco routers or a NAS cluster :P

I love server room aircon. Nothing quite like 24'c constant when you're in a collared shirt

When I worked at the winery it could get a touch warm, but they have evaporative aircon in 90% of the work area, some even have refridgerative. Only 1 hall doesnt have anything but the building is coming up on a 100 years old so its pretty cool anyway plus there is no heavy machinery in it.

At my current job which is still manual handling the whole place except the dock is climate controlled to (what feels like) low 20's.

I feel for ya though guys :P

Anyone know the policy about a factory closure due to warm weather? Like, a law.. that says you have to close it once it gets to a certain temp like back at school?

every employer will have a different thing

our heat policy is basically this

- have plenty of breaks

- drink as much as you can

- take measures to get out of the heat as much as possible

so basically i leave the truck running while aloft, we've got the windows up and the a/c on. carry 10 litres of ice water on board, and most of that gets drunk during the day, and once our run is complete we go back into the depot and sit in the lunchroom till knock off

Some peeps may have heard of The Tunnels just up the road from me in Panorama........they're used to store wine now and maintain a constant cool temperature.

Be nice to park myself in there for the next week or so with a big screen TV and access to the various Grange bottles in there :P

Some History: The Tunnels

The tunnels were built in 1880. The first ever tunnels built in South Australia, they opened up the line between Adelaide and Melbourne. The tunnels were decommissioned in 1920 when a new tunnel was built to eliminate the problem of sharp bends, single line and an inadequate viaduct.

The Tunnels were used during the war to store government documents and artworks.

The tunnels were transformed in 2003 and became The Tunnels Wine Storage.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
