      who doesn’t consider a car jack to be lifting the car?

      Your boss who asked for the vehicle to be put on the car lift, but you think he means the car jacks. You’re not going to last long if you can’t infer the context yourself.

      If your boss asked for a pallet jack, and you come back with a forklift, he’s gonna question your intelligence. Construction and other TERMs for equipment have specific definitions and meanings. You CANT use laymen dictionary.

      If you worked with these, like you claim… you clearly weren’t trained or were just some labourer.

          Yes and as I already clarified earlier, a lift implies STACKING.

          Also note, it specifies a SHORT DISTANCE, you can’t ignore part of a definition to suite your narritive.

          Your obvious trolling denseness isn’t funny btw.

              No, in construction and mechanic tools, they have specific definitions.

              Laymen’s, yes of course you can incorrectly use one for the other. But it’s not correct. Also lifts don’t jack. They are different things wholefully.

                  We get it, you don’t work construction or a trade. They are named because of their usage, it’s circular dude.

                  As I said as a laymen, you’re free to use them that way. We know better, and will correct the incorrect usage.

                  Especially in a community such as this one.

                    Let me ask you a question. Do you think I’m more annoyed at @Kolanaki@pawb.social for bickering with you, or that you submitted a report for every single one of their comments that just says “breaks community rules” and does not say what rule it broke? You spammed it so much you even reported your own comment.

                    Next time you two better act like adults or I’m just banning both of you. One for abusing the reporting system and the other for incivility. I have you both tagged with “shitlist” in my app.
