Quoth sms001 View PostWhy not? Seems as good an answer as any, although you would be finding the weight, not weighing. Downside is it wouldn't account for any cargo etc.
Personally, I'd draw an outline of the tires on the ground, roll it away, get the area of the footprint and multiply that by the tire pressure. I assume it would work as well for a plane as it does a car. Not incredibly accurate though.
One of these, 5 feet in diameter, and 7 feet tall. *sigh*

Quoth xxscooterxx View PostI've had to take a multitude of personality type quizzes recently. Please tell me how not liking the color blue has anything to do with how well I can sling truck parts.
But then again, I also had to take the same training on the Code of Federal Regulations for nuke workers, so for a while I had a number of them absolutely memorized, and could recite them with my eyes closed while the person giving the class was discussing them. Until my boss told me to stop.
<and I used to prank lower base at SubBase NLON. I used to go in for radioisotopic imaging frequently for about 4 months so I would hurry from the base hospital down to some random bathroom on lower base to pee, because they had radiation detection equipment in the septic system. I would see if I could get off lower base before the gates slammed shut and the alarms sounded.>EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

Quoth XCashier View PostI had a job interview a couple of weeks ago. It was a small company, and it didn't go too badly...until I had an allergic sneezing fit in the middle of it. Very embarrassing. And no, I didn't get the job.
-I accidentally locked the interview lady out of the school! (the school does not have a fence, they use a security gate, but the dang thing was "Locked". I thought the gate was automatically controlled.)
-We had to hold it outside because the hall was being used (the hall was being used)
-I had to write my police check number on a napkin...and lost it partway through.
I still got the jobThe best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom

I used to have a job that worked me 38 hours a week and I was still considered "Part time", so that one I get. Also I can understand how having a second language could be beneficial depending on the geographic location of the job (southern Arizona for example).
The one about the actual qualifications being different from the ad is usually a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing. The person that wrote the ad isn't usually the one who does the interviews."If we refund your money, give you a free replacement and shoot the manager, then will you be happy?" - sign seen in a restaurant

Quoth KellyHabersham View PostMy employer does something which goes along with the first thing on your list - a position will be listed as "entry-level", but in the job description, experience and knowledge which is NOT "entry-level" is required.

I have been filling out applications for anything where I am at. I filled out an app for a Christian Thrift store. One section was specifically marked that it had to be answered. How much do you weigh? How tall are you? a couple others in a similiar vein. There is no conceivable reason they need to know my weight.

I would wonder if the reason for the weight was for if certain large pieces of equipment had a weight limit or similar, but I would doubt that an op shop would be one of them.The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom
