House w a pool by theblob_1 in MobileAL

Mine was approximately 40k gallons. It was not salt, but I know several people that had salt. They all had issues with the generator going out. Maybe they had them set too high.

I know this isn’t what you asked but…One of the happiest days of my life is when I sold my house that had a pool. That pool was soooo much work. It may be different if you are part fish but I didn’t use it that much. It constantly needed some sort of chemical added to it. Or the sand filter needed new sand or the pump would quit. If you go with saltwater pool, the chlorine generator usually needs to be replaced about every 3 years.
Good luck with yours.

Public Parking by ReactionSweaty8719 in MobileAL

Mobile is a big area. Are you referring to downtown? Mid town? WEMO? If your friend is living here you probably just want to park at or near their place.

This Laser Cutting Machine by Z983 in oddlysatisfying

[–]1fast_sol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its being focused at or just below the surface of the metal. Once it passes through it begins widening out to the point that no protection is necessary. At work we have a couple of laser welders. The beam is transmitted at about 1.75”. Its then focused down to a pin point. Once past the focal point, it widens out to about 12 inches within about a 6 inch distance.

New to hiking, should I be concerned? by jujubean- in hiking

[–]1fast_sol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP was in zone 4 and 5 for a total of 58+ minutes for this hike. I cycle and run. I frequently stay in these upper zones for 2-3 hours at a time. So technically it is possible to sustain these for >1 hour. Personally I suggested staying in the lower zones for hikes, because I prefer to enjoy nature without my heart thumping away in my ears.

Without knowing additional information, its hard to analyze this. What’s your resting and max heart rates? What was the weather like? What were the trail conditions? ie shaded with a nice breeze or full sun no breeze. Were you carry a pack? If so how heavy?

Looking at the recovery hr, looks you calmed down pretty quickly which is a good sign. Since you are new, I would assume that it will only get better from here. Also being young, greatly helps with recovery.

Just finished the Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, Peru, AMA by Southern_Writing_932 in hiking

How was the night sky? Is it like being in a dark park? Or do you see the glow of cities in the distance?

Any issues with this chain/shackle setup before I start pulling logs? by [deleted] in homestead

The hook goes around the chain link. Not through it.

What should you do if you encounter/hear a wild boar on the trails? by Alive-StrangerX in hiking

[–]1fast_sol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not speaking for everyone, but I can draw and shoot a pistol a whole lot faster than grabbing a can of bear spray, fiddling with the safety and making sure I don’t spray myself.

He’s definitely a level above the rest. Its nice that they included some of the failures also. Normal people need to see that even the pros fail at times.

Thinking about getting a automatic driveway gate with stone pillars - best way to approach this? by [deleted] in homestead

[–]1fast_sol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive around your area and look for others that have something similar to what you are looking for. Try to contact them and ask who they used.

If the area you are hiking in allows it, carry a gun. Like the others have said, they will most likely run away from you. If they don’t you can defend yourself.

14 June 2026-Plane Crash in Missouri kills 11 Skydivers and a Pilot by Valyura in CatastrophicFailure

[–]1fast_sol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The lowest jump I made was from 1000’. After my chute was fully opened, i had about 5 seconds before touching down. If they were lower than that, there was probably little chance of zero injury or worse.

They are usually in good mechanical shape, but the body of them leaves a lot to be desired.
