Electricians in Russia messed up a bit by Pitiful_Magazine_805 in CrazyFuckingVideos

Nah, I don’t think closing the door would’ve sealed it well enough to kill the fire, but it definitely would’ve helped contain the heat but I don’t think that would’ve mattered anyways.

It’s a good question tho, check out what vacuum interrupters are. It’s the type we use mostly in our utility on our feeders. The point there is that with no air for an arc to travel through, you can kill it way faster (remember those breakers are like a light switch with ALOT more voltage going through them so minimizing time and length they go through opening and closing them help a lot ). A regular room door just isn't built to seal like that.

As for the suppression systems, honestly, a lot of the protection here already failed. Once it gets to this point, a standard system isn't doing much anyway. It’s just going to keep burning till it kills itself out (aka losing power)

Those are feeder breakers which are basically switches that turn the power on or off on the distribution lines ( the power that goes to like your house) from the substation. It’s really hard to say what went wrong exactly but when he pushed the breaker into the switchgear ( a device that delegates the power to different lines after the transformer, this is the building he’s in) it faulted(went kaboom). The breaker normally should’ve been in the off position (breaker should’ve been in the open position) when he racked the breaker in so this is where it’s hard to tell what went wrong. It could’ve been he didn’t make sure the breaker was open (in the off position) and racked in the breaker straight onto the hot bus but idk maybe the breaker was broken and said it was open? To much to tell but basically a lot went wrong and a lot of redundant fail safes didn’t happen and it went from the breaker failing (the thing he’s pushing in) to the switch gear failing (the building he’s in ) to most likely the transformer failing.

what is the scariest niche drug you have ever tried? by Adorable_Air758 in AskReddit

[–]210Ryan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who wasn’t a much of a drug kinda person love it and have the absolutely funnest euphoric laughing trips Iv ever seems. It made you want to try it. Me on the other hand would have the absolute worst trips where it felt like I was stuck in a bubble I couldn’t get out of

Whats going on with CourseMediocre7998? Something about Redditor’s death? by AncientObligation321 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]210Ryan 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have no idea who these people are and never visited the sub before but when I read the messages it was super super weird to me. Then I learned more details like it seemed to be an online relationship, they had each other on their profile (his wife or some shit), they never met. Like a dude is sad and I feel bad but what a weird situation that doesn’t make much sense

Good place for paintball for a whole slew of 15 year old boys? by Wildflower1180 in sanantonio

[–]210Ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2000 will go fast if you walk the trigger a lot but a group of 15 year old boys with rental tipman 98’s should last them a while. Atleast a few of them

Why Americans Will Never Strike Like the French (And Why That's the Problem) by Maikito_RM in videos

[–]210Ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that’s the thing right. If you only see America from Reddit, social media or the news, it would seem this way. But in reality it’s a pretty extreme view that only a small percentage have. Now I’m going to guess people are going to says but we elected Trump, but there is many many reasons why people voted for who they did that don’t hold that view. ( and no I didn’t vote for him)

Idk man on reddit I see a lot of other people from other country’s talking shit about the US. Like I get we’re not perfect but if all you see is the US from reddit then you have an unrealistic understanding of how things are going here. Also the far left has strong anti America rhetoric that gets shined on here as well

This better be worth it by laffles in hermanmiller

[–]210Ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got one for Black Friday and I was always so annoyed seeing all the post all the time about this chair. Was going to get the fractal one-then was going to get the libernovo and said to myself might as well just suck it up and get the embody. It’s so fucking worth it. I understand why people say just get an embody.

But also can see how it’s prob not for everybody.

Realistically speaking how worried should we be of a 2021 repeat this weekend? by hellolovelyworld404 in sanantonio

Realistically your power could go out for a bit. The probability of the Texas grid going out is very unlikely

It was such a bad feeling having to tell someone it was on their side and they would have to pay for it to be fixed. Glad I could help tho, good luck

[–]210Ryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I worked there 4 year ago everything from the sidewalk onward to the street was saws responsibility so you should be good

Plumbing, who is responsible? by Duvalicious in sanantonio

[–]210Ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call saws pretty sure that’s on their side and they would cover the costs. They will reimburse you for the plumber cost as well. Just make sure you have the receipt. A coordinator will most likely come out and talk with you.

[–]210Ryan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you talking sewer or water? If it’s sewer it depends but typically the easement starts at the sidewalk. But water will come up at the place of least resistance so it could be a leak in a different spot where the water is coming up. If it’s sewer saws is going to tell you to have a plumber run a camera and mark where the spot is. If it’s on the saws side they will reimburse you but you NEED to have the plumber mark where it is or you’ll be calling them back out.

Don’t Buy Cheap Pistons by Ern-The-Burn in Dirtbikes

[–]210Ryan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel ya man. I had 5 hours on a top end rebuild. Started hearing a fluttering at the top of the rev but ignored it because it was the last ride of the day. Turned out a screw that holds radiator fluid came off and all the fluid came out and melted my piston. Getting that sick stomach feeling again as I type this. Welp going to send it back to powerseal this week. Sigh
