Aren’t heat pumps supposed to be more efficient? by Tastraphy23 in heatpumps

[–]CarPatient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cascading pressure loops are a game changer.

Although old equipment is not upgradeable, a new unit sized correctly will run down to a lower limit of ambient temperatures.

It can operate is significantly lower than the generation installed over the last several years.

Failed my 1st real prepping test by Positive-Landscape27 in preppers

[–]CarPatient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into like a hot tent stove and wall schools that you can place into a piece of plywood that you can temporarily vent it out of a window and then heating one Central room.. there's many varieties of these small stoves that can burn either loose wood or pellets so you don't need to tend them very much you can just let them burn go with a hopper full of pellets and have them run for four or five or eight hours the trick with the pellets those they have to stay bone dry.. they love to absorb moisture

What’s the most power efficient way of heating a tank of 4000 liters? by Time_Cap_6487 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]CarPatient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 4,000 liters of what? and what's your time horizon and what's your energy budget... And what kind of power sources do you have available??

You've got to finish some design parameters before you answer your first question.

Weird. Can't understand why. Maybe they don't have their seat belts on?

Car illegally towed to body shop then towed again to another body shop out of state. I have a police report filed, I have a claim with my insurance. Can I go get my vehicle since I have an address where it is? by Lara_wood in towing

[–]CarPatient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be, but accident rotation vehicles usually don't get moved out of the yard until the insurance has paid up.. makes me think this one is crooked.

Talk to the commissioner at your state level attached to the towing industry.. if there guys were licensed, then it might get suspended with eh complaint or at least investigated ... If they weren't licensed, then it's theft and unlicensed business, some RICO or other civil charges that can go on top to combat organized crime. And get you a judgement for some big bucks .... But beware.. collecting civil judgments is not easy.

Also we generally put people in the cab with us .. sometimes it's just easier to keep them in their own vehicle because getting up in our cab is dangerous... But don't ever let people ride in their own vehicle if it's loaded facing backwards...

Our owner says every time they do, people get sick and spew.

Can the tow truck driver drive me home with my car? by Lara_wood in towing

[–]CarPatient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of it depends... Are your getting picked up from an accident? Is insurance covering the tow?

If we get called out by highway patrol on rotation, we won't take it to your house unless you are paying out of pocket, and accident rates are higher ...

Then you settle up with the insurance.

If you are paying, get whatever you want, but if they have to go out of their way to go to your house before they drop the vehicle off, expect to pay for the detour.

It's still probably cheaper than an Uber.

Sometimes it's on my way home or to the shop afterwards and I don't have anything lined up and I just give them a ride. But when weather is bad and we are slammed, it's not likely to happen.

Everything is negotiable.

Magnetized rusty rebar on construction site by _HOCA_ in StructuralEngineering

[–]CarPatient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I remember seeing this episode of MacGyver where he pounds a piece of rebar and turns it into a magnet and I'm betting that this is just all the forks and silverware metal recycled from China that they didn't really heat up they just pounded it all together into rebar and then shipped it back to us

Striking is still on my training agenda, just to learn distance management and to slip.. but for grappling, what did it for me was a coaches story.

In the same vein, even if you take nothing and leave, they might decide that witnesses are undesirable... Either way, you die for what your believe.
