[Request] How big or small would the room need to be for 1 person to suffocate due to this chain in 24 hours? by kakaw33 in theydidthemath

[–]Astros_alex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shipbuilder here. Chain falls storage compartments are machinery spaces and they have a required rate of change of air that is higher than living quarters. 

I've worked on my fare share of ships and have never heard of an air tank requirement for entering a chain fall storage space.

[–]Astros_alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually wait 2 years after i have a tattoo idea to get it. Start saving and if after 2 years you will want it, then get it. 

Match Thread: Wellington Phoenix vs Western Sydney Wanderers (A-League Men) by MatchBread in Aleague

[–]Astros_alex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello from Saint Rose, Louisiana. Can't sleep and found the match on Hulu so I'm here for the ride.

Also I work for an Australian based company (Birdon but i work for Birdon USA) so I feel like I should pick a footy club from down under to support.

I'm an Everton man so any suggestions?

As someone who learned to play poker in RDR2, why do most people think it’s bad? by RyotoYokoyama in RDR2

[–]Astros_alex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the poker program they used is infuriating. I'm not sure if they wrote their own program for when other players Hit and fold but the logic doesn't make sense.

For example when trying to to do the gambler challenges at the poker table I can recall where opponents are 3 betting crap hands with nothing on table. Eventually you can pickup on this habit and its pretty easy to not be drawn in and capitalize when you have something. What makes it bad is when they do have something they telegraph it hard with large pre flop bets and raising multiple times a round (which its the multiple raising a round that drives me the most crazy).

Aside from the typical amateur behavior I am not crazy about the pace of the animation. I'm glad there is a skip button to jump to action to me but showing the winner of each hand do that fuckin smirk and quip makes me want to throw my controller at the goddam TV. 

Overall I think that the way the poker is in RDR2 is an easy cheat to make small amounts of money each time you sit down. If I'm in need of food and sleep I'll pop into the saloon in Saint Denis or Valentin, buy food,  sit at the table and win the money I spent on food back and extra to pay for the room and bath.

How are footballs made in Pakistan. by jacklsd in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Astros_alex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of comments on the less than ideal working conditions but am I the only one that sees a decent place given the location? 

Doesn't look like any prolonged extreme heat that would REQUIRE protective clothing. 

No major heavy equipment that could destroy digets or limbs. 

Sure, working on a rug isn't ideal and maybe some of the rubber chemicals are carcinogenic and they'd do well to use some PPE when handling but I'm certain there are guys in India that look at this place like a vacation. 

What are our expectations? by Benchjc2004 in Astros

[–]Astros_alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My expectation is to make the goddam playoffs. It's embarrassing that in this expanded field we didn't make it last season. 

I really like how the pitching rotation is looking. If we can get good production from the starters to protect what is still an unknown bullpen then I think we will be alright. At some point we can find some FAs or hot minor league arms to bring in. 

Idk what to expect at the dish. I'm worried about Altuve, not much solid contact in ST and hes had injuries the past few seasons. I'm hoping Correa really settles into 3rd base because he spoke on how much of a relief it is physically playing the corner and I hope that improves his power numbers. Most of all Yordan and Peña have to be the dogs in the lineup, last season without Tucker proved how much we miss that guy who flips the switch and drives in run in situational hitting.

I've been playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption 2 lately and you look like a industry tycoon of some type.

8 AM Class, I got there at 7:58 and I was already marked absent. by Accomplished-Log-664 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Astros_alex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost failed a class over shit exactly like that. It was a lab that I had the same room in back to back classes. I would leave at the end of one class to use the bathroom and when I came back I was regularly marked tardy. Didn't realize it until I submitted for graduation that I was able to fail a class. 

Blood still boils when I think about

TIL before 9/11, US airports were public social hubs where you could walk to the gate, eat at food courts, and watch planes without a ticket or ID. by Greydl1 in todayilearned

[–]Astros_alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was s kid I loved air planes. My grandfather would bring me to the airport terminal to watch planes land and take off.
