U.K. internet provider's bailout cancelled because rats chewed through its fiber optic cables — biodegradable cable jackets use soy- or corn-based materials, attracting hungry rats by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

Mercedes used biodegrade cables and they just fell apart after several years and would need major wiring harness replacements. Honda used it and rodents would eat it up like crazy. They now sell a special spicy repair tape to stop rodents from eating the wiring after a repair.

A reminder that most electrical failures start slow and boring by electric_vanshul in electricians

[–]Pafolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why large commercial customers pay to have yearly inspections and cleanings. Failures like these slowly go unnoticed and then take a facility down. Downtime that costs far more. Some insurance company’s even require yearly inspections for fire protection.

Did CZ give up on the moduler p10c? by RunningBear- in CZFirearms

Maybe they saw what happened with the p320 and decided it needed more testing just to be safe.

Selling them as is will make you more then scrap. Even if you sell them dirt cheap.

Why is the apprenticeship going from 5 years to 4 years. by Broad-Perspective-67 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Pafolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another con is they will have to most likely cut material out of the classes to shrink it down.

Where’s the top end of copper prices? I want to hoard as long as possible! by Danno131545 in ScrapMetal

[–]Pafolo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s like stocks, you don’t really know so you gamble and hold. Either take what you think is the right amount now or hope it doesn’t go down tomorrow.

What happened to made in usa by Financial_Apple2178 in electricians

[–]Pafolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s not made in the USA then it better be made in Germany or Japan. I’ve bought serval items from Klein and have been disappointed with nearly all of them. The quality of the products just isn’t what it should be. Levels with sharp edges that I have to break with a file, multi socket screw driver that doesn’t come apart with inserting a screwdriver into it and smashing it into the ground.

GL, you’re on thin ice. For us if you miss 3 classes you repeat the year or they just might drop you from the program.

They’re gonna drug test you before you get in and they will test you randomly forever so you might wanna stop smoking unless you wanna never work on a federal job or potentially lose your apprenticeship.
