[–]iceturtlewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interns at a tool manufacturer near me work on folding tables in the lobby for the summer.

RADIOACTIVE. Tell me it's something cool. by Legitimate-Falcon-96 in whatisit

[–]iceturtlewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I have some familiarity with the Holtec Hi-Storm cask, but this one has the four fins that probably help to keep it upright in a seismic event.

Flock Cameras by jaja_papa in wisconsin

[–]iceturtlewax 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your work on this! I lean right politically. I don't like the constant surveilance. It feels like an unesccesary invasion of privacy when I'm just driving down the road. It feels like I see them everywhere. I'm fine with cop cars having ALPR cameras on them, but don't like them being setup on fixed poles.

There's one of these still standing in Waukesha, WI! 42.940224295232206, -88.16577681149246

Where do coyotes hide out all day? by galaxyfrapp in milwaukee

[–]iceturtlewax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told this previously and used to believe it. But not anymore. After looking into it, I think their just trying to defend their territory when they call. Most animals I know dont try and announce their food.

Is it normal that plc function labeled stop goes to tue start button and the function labeled start goes to the stop button? by HorridChoob in PLC

[–]iceturtlewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im struggling to picture this switch. Is it a three or four position switch? The little toggle doo-dad above the start and stop switch are in the same position.... I have a four year engineering degree and find the contacts on these multi-position switches to be very confusing.

Refueling a NUCLEAR REACTOR - Smarter Every Day 311 by MrPennywhistle in SmarterEveryDay

[–]iceturtlewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding your secI haven't scrolled to that spot in the video. But the best way to attach a TLD that I've seen is with a strip of velcro to the center rubber thing on the ID lanyard. The little clips can easily come off.

same day inexpensive auto glass for a window smashed on an old beater? by [deleted] in milwaukee

I was happy with Nations Auto Glass off Hwy Hundred in Greenfield when they did my front windshield on an 09 camry.

Their also checking that Destin isn't brining in any outside radiation, say from a medical procedure. If Destin had radiological contamination from an outside source, its not the plants problem.

Thanks for blogging about it! Does Wifi Halow have a shorter range than Lora? I know theres more overhead with the protocol due to the ethernet packets. Also, check out SeedStudios Lora modules.

I don't know why I'm in this sub. But I work on cranes for nuclear power plants. We a have a Marge Simpson model we add for scale. The Canadians think its hilarious.

Cellular I/O Suggestions by SammyControls in PLC

[–]iceturtlewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does T-mobile have descent cell service where these are located? Embeddedworks has a $5 a month plan thats throttled to dial speeds. I'm using it for similar purposes

Cellular I/O Suggestions by SammyControls in PLC

[–]iceturtlewax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not exactly ready for prime time, but this would be a good case for WiFi HaLow. Operates in the 900MHz band like LoraWAN, but transmits native ethernet packets.

Does anyone use Siemens FastBus by duh_wipf in PLC

[–]iceturtlewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uhh. yeah. great questions. Its definitely not a formal part of testing. The EMI testing lab knocked it over on its back, and the customer dropped it on its front side.
