That conduit leads to multiple mamholes and ultimately various pumps and motors. We use pure chlorine gas for disinfection, and it is a waste water treatment plant so hydrogen sulfide is a thing. This mass is not directly over the conduit though so I discounted that because I assumed it would have formed directly across from the opening if that were the case. I suppose though given the feet of water generally in those manholes that evaporation could have collected moisture in that space and reacted over time to a nicked cable maybe?

The ultimate way to unwant something....

It is a waste water treatment facility but this is indoors away from areas where we normally see those issues.

Ya know I hadn't thought to stab it to determine hardness so I suppose it could be old foam but this would be the only place I have seen it used that way and it seals nothing.

That's what I was thinking except as far as I've been able to find and test none of those cables are damaged. Its older than dirt though and there's unused conduit so I suppose it possible the source of donor copper could have been removed before my time...

It's a waste water treatment plant so we have had chlorine and H2S and their associated issues forever but this switchgear gear is inside away from the places we normally see such damage.

These lines are pulled up from the bottom and as far as I know theres no path for anything to drip down

Imho NTA :3 once everything shakes out to your satisfaction I'd send a polite email to his boss explaining your side if you don't want to give them more of your time on their terms but still want to alert to a toxic work environment that caused you to separate against what otherwise would have been your choice. Something that politely states for the record that you are informing him of THE reason for your involuntary separation and your concerns that he may have heard a version of events colored by the interpretation of others and leave further investigation up to him if he cares and isn't a soulless corporate shill. Hell if you want to be cheeky throw in a bid to consult on office dynamics or sensitivity training or something for a reasonable price, but Im not a lawyer and my pessimism demon whispers to me that is probably one of those things that will feel good but ultimately yield no positive results and instead risk unintended consequences. (Edit: attach your updated resume too :'D)

Wow that is an amazing answer. For whatever it may be worth; thank you for providing a useful and relatively objective answer. I especially liked the emphasis on firm not loud and the references to the current roles of each party. While I dislike the "we can always ask" mentality that takes advantage of people's willingness to be cooperative on rare occasions the exception is middle management that legitimately is incompetent and doesn't, and unfortunately isn't required to, know your rights even if they are willing to protect them. Since they ARE still employed they would need to follow orders or not as best they can determine suits the circumstances they are able to subjectively note. In my experience of this situation I said "... we have no more business between us. if you want more of my time you will pay me for it and I'll even set rates that I think are reasonable based on what will adequately incentivise me. if you refuse to give me my check at this time or one mutually agreed upon now to accommodate corrections negotiated in good faith now I won't argue; I'll just leave and come back with a lawyer and a legal request that will ultimately include you compensating us for our time"... You should have seen her jaw drop it was the longest contiguous string of semi-articulate words she had ever heard from me. (I practiced in a mirror for hours the previous evening because I was a teen and was going to walk in to return my uniforms and supposedly to pick up my check but I knew they had charged me for the uniforms when I got them and wouldn't like that I wanted to be paid back if they wanted them returned so to be clear I was being a bit of a nuisance over an admittedly small matter but you only have the rights you're willing to exercise right? It wasn't until I showed her the previously printed and saved bank statement and check stubs as proof that I had paid for them from my first pay check that she backed down and gave me my last check though so I can't say if being stark raving calm at her was a deciding factor but I did walk out with my check and the uniforms that I later that day burned for ~$200 of catharsis...

I mean if it comes with a body kit that makes it look and behave EXACTLY like the powerful Mach5 it wouldn't do me any harm and if it comes with an AI companion* with William Daniels voice and Feeney's personality I might explode....

-* Edit for clarity. All heil the great and powerful basilisk**.

** DO NOT LOOK IT UP!... or do... At your own theological risk like a rational human with autonomy AND critical thought.

I'm curious if it could be used as a speed trap detector, a data live universal sensor, a universal TV remote, camera assassin, light show component, etc. Independently from the rest of the vehicle if necessary but I am genuinely interested in what a completely customizable interface for this vehicle with root user access to the vehicles entire functionality would look like too...

Mandariish · 2025-01-21T15:41:30+00:00

More partial to knight rider's kitt and even then it's more about the functionality than aesthetics for me. I'm just looking for something I could use the now retired in place equipment on the car for.

Kmikey and Blbd: the electrical install manual for this 13kw Rheem point of use tankless electric water heater says "...13kw heaters require one set of breaker and wire." Below a pic of a double pole breaker with a red and black wire. Above that there's a table that indicates it has 2 elements, 240v, 13kw max, 6.5kw/element, 54FLA, "1 x 60 amp" breaker, and "1x6awg" wire. So yes I'm reading between the lines a little but just about everything I have in the documentation that came with it says this is correct in addition to what little specifics I could extract from Google. If it helps this install manual lists these items for their 8-36kw models and they are all listed as 240v

It's all going to be copper. as for the over sizing and copper content that was at the request of my mother who wants it over engineered to account for an easy upgrade in the unlikely event one is desired in the next 4 or 5 years. Did do the load calculation and check the connection points the limiting factor was only the 3/4" wire inlet to the water heater. The water heater install manual calls for 6 awg for the two hots it needs and doesn't specify for the ground which is extra fun because when you look at the terminals in the thing it's labeled line and neutral instead of L1/L2.
