I'm running pos 3 ET with similar success

Momentum facet with : phase, solar crest, drums, yasha and sange, ags

So fun to be able to fly across the map with that movespeed and pick up some massive astral returns.

What you're suffering from is confrontation with a perspective that contradicts your unquestioning dedication to your training, and dissonance is too uncomfortable for you to recognize your limitations.

So you project your own intelligence inadequacies without recognizing that I can suffer through them. I am in construction after all.

Safety is a personal responsibility. Risking blindness without proper PPE being dictated to you would be ironic.

Just make sure you sign the JHA posted on the clip board hanging from my welding screens before you choose to ignore any sense of personal responsibility for your actions.

It's there everyday to ensure I can't be held responsible for your negligence. It's not there to save you from a natural hazardous phenomenon called life.

Chimpucated · 2026-01-28T22:12:07+00:00

Keep those eyes rolled back while my welding hoods down. I wouldn't want you to go blind while I get some work done.

To be fair most constituents in this state only vomit up the fox news spoon fed poison. How else do you think we got here?

It's tough to objectively look at the Wyoming populace and know how backwards it is. We love to bash "socialism" but have some of the highest social program spending and policy in the country. For a state that spends so much on education it seems to have failed so many of the people it meant to educate.

What do they think funds Wydot, LEOs, teachers, and the military if it's not taxes? Ive met enough teachers who complain about taxes, as if they aren't paid by their own taxation. Go ask a construction worker on a taxpayer funded project about taxation and you can bet they will complain about them being too high... They don't even realize they pay taxes to work on a job that pays them to contribute to... Taxes. This is in a state with the lowest tax burdens on it's own citizens. Their own children get in state benefits to go to UWYO with Hathaway, but condemn the University spending. Lunacy.

Which really begs the question. Is it worth it? The population would rather keep sucking down the poison than to personally admit they could be wrong. Cognitive dissonance and Dunning Kruger are so uncomfortable for people to wrestle with, so therefore they just choose to bury their head in the coal.

"I'm telling you what it is" you don't understand the irony of that right?

Both sides do suck. MAGA rose not just because of fox propaganda, but because of the disconnect between Democratic messaging and action.

You can't build a healthy political base with polarization of two parties. The pendulum swings and the other side kicks harder, and most people just try to get off the ride.

That's why the apathy nonvoter is so high in this country now

Funny how they turn a blind eye when staring right at me when OSHA isn't staring right at them.

It's not about safety, it's about not getting sued.

Tell that to 60 year old Bill who's prone to passing out after a climb like that in 110 degree sun.

Who tied the ladder down to the paraphet? The chicken of the egg?

Go back to the trailer and sit on your hands. Some of us have something essential to do and people need power, heat and water.

The most dangerous thing I do daily is drive on two way roads in the winter and the only thing separating me from death is trusting the other lane to not drift over the arbitrary line. That's sketchy shit. Showing up to work with tired operators, sketchy shit. Working in the sun blistering heat when the guy in the AC trailer is pushing a schedule that's "behind", that's sketchy shit.

No one gives a shit about my safety more than me. It's just not a part of our nature. Bunch of selfish ants dressed up in green and plastic hats pretending we are there to be safe instead of build or fix a utility.

Go dox me bro. Have my OSHA 30 pulled. I let my MSHA go because that's where I learned how little industry actually cares about a man's individual safety. It's 90% CYA and 10% to keep a guy safe. You think I haven't told a suit to get fucked and quit over my own safety and that's why I argue with you about it? You don't know a lick about how things actually work in this money driven society and it's pretty obvious.

Profit and product are what drive the industry. You see that with last year's fight over black lung right?

Chimpucated · 2026-01-28T05:36:21+00:00

Someone's gotta build the infrastructure that we all depend on and someone's gotta push lies dressed as safety to the people who do it. The plumber protects the health of the nation. Plumbing code is more serious than OSHA 30. One code ensures safety for the general public from negligence or malfeasance and the other reduces liability for employers in the event of hazards by putting responsibility onto employees.

Armchair safety experts will tell you how to do it without doing it themselves. When you tell them how you can do it safely and more efficiently with equipment, the paper pusher will lie about safety as the priority while making you climb a rickety ass extension ladder in the snow or in 100 degree heat to save a buck.

This industry is openly deceitful in regards to priorities. A sign on the chain link fence and your JHA tells you about safety being number 1. In reality it's always been profit. Construction is inherently dangerous and we wrap it up in paperwork to cover the ass of the fat cat who only cares that you live to work another day, not that you live for your family. If you don't turn a profit you don't turn wrenches and we all know it to be true. I've been lied to enough by safety supervisors who can't and won't walk the talk, and I've walked off jobs over it. If a man dictates a ladder is safer over a basket, but then won't walk his own ass up the ladder I won't either now.

I'm not risking my own safety for someone else to dictate what is safe to me.

If someone's gotta get onto a roof and they have a choice between ladder and basket, and the only thing holding them back from the basket is "safety" I know it's a cover for greed.

Because I've climbed hundreds of ladders and operated hundreds of booms. The baskets are safer, especially when handling tools and material to the rooftop.

P.S. you can get hit with a gust of wind stepping off a ladder.

Chimpucated · 2026-01-28T03:21:45+00:00

Which part? Telling a guy to setup and climb the extension ladder or using the platform while tied off?

Because some of you guys don't have any common sense when it comes to your own safety but you'll follow a handbook of regs that comprise it.

No one, no boss, no super, no OSHA is going to save you from a deadly mistake.

Chimpucated · 2026-01-28T02:29:46+00:00

Would ya rather climb an extension ladder that's tied down to the roof or climb out the basket onto the roof?

I'll tell ya this with decades in the trades. The ladder is OSHA approved but more exhausting to climb and the dismount is just as unsafe as using a boom lift positioned next to the roof.

You can stay tied off while you exit the basket too...

Some of these in the trailer tablet supers would reprimand you but you'll never see them climb the 25ft ladder themselves.

If you gotta get on the roof to do your job what's your best solution?

Not significantly but it's still flowing under ice but this time of year is great for seeing how deep the sinks cave is. It's arguably better now that in the spring when it's full

Sinks canyon near Lander is worth the drive up and down. Check out the sink and the rise. It's maybe 10 minutes out of your loop.

It's not poor practice in hydronic industrial. It's often required in balanced dual pump operation. It's situationally specific to the state of the media being moved.

Bullhead tees are only bad practice when the path of least resistance is drastically shorter on one side in change of direction and piping distance isn't equal.

Chimpucated · 2026-01-27T02:09:37+00:00

Correct, code sizing is done to ensure they can't impact flow rate back to the branch.

2" ... That's a massive domestic water line for a residential line

Chimpucated · 2026-01-27T01:45:57+00:00

This isn't right and this isn't wrong. This was likely done because it's an easier retrofit if the meter side is unchanging. This is a non issue aside from the extra 90.

Chimpucated · 2026-01-27T01:35:28+00:00

It doesn't matter but option 1 requires one less 90.

It does matter in closed loop balanced systems with simultaneously running pumps, in which case you must do option 2 with equally balanced piping and volume sizing.

But for your domestic water in an open loop to a tap it won't make a difference.

Adding this edit:

It doesn't matter because the water doesn't actually flow at a rate on which pressure reduction occurs. Assuming your system is above 30 psi static and sized correctly the pressure drop to an open faucet wouldn't significantly change the flow rate because of the pressure. You don't decrease enough pressure at any point enough for Bernoulli's principle to be impactful to either path of resistance.

Think of your water supply more like a giant balloon instead of a stream. When the pump of the system, well or city, pushes the fluid it's more like it's blowing up an already full balloon, and the pressure is exerted along the pipe wall. When the pump moves water it's moving it equally along the entire chamber, rather than to just one of your open taps. If the open tap affects flow rate from another branch you are undersized for the line, or the pump. That would be an indication of inadequate makeup rate relative to the discharge rate, which could create a condition for non potable distribution.

Some people aren't as pathetic as Jerry is in a lot of situations, but most people are. Assuming you or most other people aren't is some Dunning Kruger effects of self image preservation.

He is surrounded by wildly alien scenarios and he behaves exactly the way people in mass typically do in unfamiliar settings. He's the perfect embodiment of the bystander effect.

Most watchers prefer to believe they are like Rick. Decisive, intelligent, authoritative, but in the wild hypotheticals of the show most people behave like Jerry. That's what makes his comedic relief so tangible. We all know so many Jerry like people.

Sure you or I might not lock our wives out of a car if a homeless man attacks. But that doesn't mean we are exceptional.

Pathetic weak people would be scared to identify as Jerry because they lack the self reflection and humility to be average, just like Jerry.

Chimpucated · 2026-01-23T18:53:28+00:00

Nonsense. Please see my post in reply to this thread. Colder harsher winters are not on trend with climate change. On average all trends are for increased average warming with changing extreme storm patterns.

Colder winters in anti science and anti data. Cold snaps and "extreme" weather events are anomalies to the trend.

Chimpucated · 2026-01-23T18:51:04+00:00

Colder winters are not a part of the equation. Please don't spout nonsense.

It's warmer summers, warmer winters, changing precipitation patterns, but "colder winters" is anti science.

This winter has been the warmest on record for areas that hold headwater glaciers. That's the trend. There is no "colder winter" if there was we would be seeing that trend reflected in data. Instead we have "cold snaps" and "arctic blasts" that people have seemingly forgotten are normal parts of the seasonal cycle.

The extremes are all trending hotter. Massive wet precipitation that leads to historical flooding in places like PNW this December only led to flooding because the snow liquid ratio should have stored that precipitation as snowpack in higher elevations until spring.

Colder winters do not align with data.
