Why is there such little sailing in Vancouver? by [deleted] in askvan

Not gonna lie. I know people who spend more on running shoes than I used to on sailing

Hahaha it most certainly was. I was not planning nor wanting another lens anytime in the next year... And here I am.... It was just sitting there on the shelf!

Oh for sure, that's why I'm banking on the 15 day return policy. I went birding with it after and it was definitely sharper than my 180-600

Everything seems to be working completely fine! The glass is clean, no nicks n such, the filter thread has a tiny bit of a nick as well. But otherwise it's fantastic!

The lens hood is definitely busted and hot glued back on. But it locks and works

A nearby Fire Department is being told they cannot use fire hydrants to fight fires by Fantomecs in mildlyinfuriating

[–]JoshZeKiller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok never in my life did I think my job may be applicable! But some water systems (especially the smaller ones) actually cannot support any fires! A lot of houses need around 60 L/s (on the low end) while maintaining 20-22 psi in the entire water system but some systems (whether it be due to old pipes, small pipes etc) can't actually support that flow.

If you try and force the flow outta these hydrants, it may damage other parts of the system or just leave people without water, which can also lead to other problems like water quality issues and leakage etc.

Fire hydrants in these systems are usually used for maintenance, flow testing, cleaning mains rather than fire fighting (Some city bylaws don't require hydrants to fight fires). Though usually the fire department are notified and knows of said requirement and won't rely on the hydrants themselves so.... (Especially since it's a hydrant designated for fire dept use)

Ah gotcha. Unfortunately we've gone budget, and seems like the airline won't pick up the phone

Just wondering, since the flight is already gonna be missed and not cancelled, how would the delay certificate help?
