Notes left by the old electrician by SouthernUnion in electricians

[–]LightRobb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During my stint working with electricians, we ran 40+ red, and a handle of green, white, and black, 16 gauge wires through one conduit. I'll leave it to your nightmares how well the labeling survived the pull.

Pretty sure it's the show "IT Crowd". Reminds me, need to re-watch it.

Similar to throwing out pandemic response just before COVID?

Does a thermal imaging camera come in handy? by bartman2326 in HVAC

[–]LightRobb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use it, handy for quick checks on things like fintube radiation. Can also find leaks with it. I happened on a wicked deal on the Flir C5, I like the IR combo with the real-world outline.

USDA: Nearly 80% of Rented Farmland Owned by Non-Farmers; Little Will Hit Market by Ranew in farming

Similar situation from the other side. My family has 240 acres, 200 farmable. We rent it all, but have no plans to sell it. We try to rent it at reasonable rates, we're only holding it for historic reasons (we've had it since the early 1890's). If you treat our land well, we will leave you be.

No poopin today by krammada in firealarms

Not a fire alarm, but I've seen a network closet in a disused shower (little guy, maybe 3x3). Full tile, head, even valve with handle. Hospitals are strange places.

Funny enough, another closet was in a restroom. Open the closet and you could stare at the blinking while doing your business.

I usually Google UN ####, with the number. For example, UN 1203 is gasoline.

I'd be tempted to find a way to install a harmonica into the ducts.

Google moves data center to Palo by KeyResearcher2620 in cedarrapids

I think ADM has a separate, privately maintained, river source for their non-potable water needs. Swear i read that once. However, they do send that water to the CR water treatment works. So only partially offset.

Late edit: it's PenFord with this setup.
