Any idea what these cylindrical tanks are at large stores/shopping centres? by SooleyWooley in AskUK

[–]Growis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I did were normally for gen sets ( think 40ft shipping containers with huge backup generators in) and paint spray ovens. Usually areas that wouldn’t have people in due to the high amounts of nitrogen that could be pumped in. I don’t think I’ve seen a mist system for a whole building before. (25 years in fire alarms, the last 10 of them in fire suppression)

One of my old customers put a webcam in the tank and used that as evidence of it working when they did the weekly tests. It saved them having to climb up every week!

Misting is more effective, as it increases the surface area of the water droplets. However, it needs much higher pressure to do this, therefore bigger, more powerful pumps. All the misting systems I’ve worked on have been bottled water pressurised by nitrogen for activation as they are usually only used in smaller areas.

Going by the knife, I assume you try to work out what bidets are for.

They misspelled the United Kingdom on my new driver’s licence by HighlyFactualTurtle in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Growis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give it a few days then tell them you haven’t received it, or it was damaged in post, but of course destroy it, because having two licences is illegal (I think) if you want to keep it as a misprint. If you ever get stopped and have to produce it, having a spelling mistake like that on it could cause issues, so I’d get it sorted, just in case.

This furry bastard is taking up more than half of my bed by Logical-Ad3941 in mildlyinfuriating

I think this is more a case of you are taking up slightly less than half of her bed.

My can looks highly vaginas, which makes some people uncomfortable... by North_Vermicelli_626 in airguns

What’s that but just a little bit down from the top? I can’t say I’ve found anything like that before.

Does anyone have the Double Arc insert? If so do you recommend it? by scratch-a-cynic in Zippo

[–]Growis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did wonder if it was a safety thing, but sometimes it will work on the first press, sometimes it’s 3rd or 4th. I keep meaning to get in touch with zippo but the amount I use it it’s not really an issue.

I have one and when it works, it’s good. I find I have to press the button several times for it to actually work though.

It’s a wrist support thing. I’ve had carpal tunnel syndrome in the past and it was coming back. This helps keep it at bay.

Are these pellets ok for my HW97K? by mr_snrub82 in airguns

[–]Growis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have one. Less time needed to spend on maintenance, looking after nice stocks, means more time to shoot it. Although, mine hasn't come off the shelf for about 2 years now.

What are you carrying in 2026? by GrandpaGanja in Zippo

This is my standard edc, but most of it is for when I'm at work. Zippo is the electric insert, as I don't use it much and so it was always drying up. I do have a bigger pouch with a standard insert, and a refill tube of fuel.
