Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Nah, it's not the springs fault, the nut is still on the spindle but the hub is missing, they've neglected to add grease to the wheel bearings for many many miles, the tire exited the situation then they continued to drive for long enough to wear through the backing plate, U bolts and the springs left the situation too...

you nailed it that is exactly what happened, I replaced the missing hub, springs and tires had to repair the wiring also.

Look closely and you can see that the metal got so hot it melted the wire going to the tail light.

Pictures?
Towing rebar while straddling it to bring it all the way to the forms.
No tight turns!

You got it done!

...Code 347 Completely Lost Due To Incompetence

One I like even better:

From the early days of CPU's, purported to be in the IBM 360 instruction set

HCF .... Halt and Catch Fire

And apparently an actual code in Motorola 6800. Used there it means unrecoverable halt, requires reboot. Used as a dead-end in trial code to test if a branch goes to nowhere.

I've seen that done with pickups carrying rebar and pipe, on the road. Tied up enough to not drag.

I've done that tied front and back but we were not going far and did not get off company property.

We had someone do the 6800 halt at college, he got banned from using the computers at school, which messed up his graduation.
Took out quite a few peoples running projects, back then, that would be many hours to get everything running again.

I'd think it would be a privileged instruction on any computer that might be a multi user system.
I had my share of shenanigans (got >this close< to expulsion for various hacks); our computing center was always grudgingly glad to get an explanation for how something bad happened so they didn't have to try to debug it, but there's no way you could "halt" a processor without a privilege escalation first

That is what made this one so bad, any user with access could run it.
They fixed by creating another function with the same name.
Ah, the good old days.

Back in the late 60s when I was a student at Purdue, a dorm buddy asked if I could pick up a printout of a program he submitted at the computer center, since I walked by it on the way to one of my classes.
Went it went to his cubby hole where the printouts and punch cards were placed, and there was a note to see the operator. Uh oh!
Went in and gave him the note, told hime i was picking it up for Rick, and he pulled out a stack of printout paper about an inch thick, and said he had a flaw in the Fortran program logic that caused a repetitive loop. He was not amused. Rick found the error and the next time, the printout all fit on one page.
