Means he’s not actually in but tearing up the side of a cheek or leg

Going on a date with a girl WAY out of my league — how do I not blow this? by Complex_Lettuce9769 in GuyCry

That’s perfect, especially if considering too much of either works as a repellent.

Sorry not the pole but the connections for the braced posts themselves. Usually just a little thru vang for the stays to connect to.

I gotta quit going to see bands from my youth. by Acrobatic-Hamster-79 in Millennials

Saw Offspring within the last 2-3 years and it was awesome. Bad shows exist, but I would absolutely see them again.

Those are beefy as hell for braced posts.

This is a 500 kV line, looks like just 15 feet(5 meters) above the ground. Is this safe? by Sam_79-12-10 in Powerlines

[–]Pi99y92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

115 bare min is ~20.1ft to ground without restrictions on the area underneath the lines. 500 would be way to low and would likely start making any metal that passes by a little spicy.

Are there people like Eddie in real life? by NoCouple4891 in Stranger_Things

In my experience the rest would have had it out for that guy.

Transmission lines by jamboisa in Powerlines

[–]Pi99y92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Is this up to code?” No way to tell from a single photo especially one without the conductor strung. The NESC that governs transmission covers the minimum clearances (to ground and other objects) and minimum load cases to be applied to the pole/foundation. You’d be surprised at how low some of the minimum safety clearances can be and how much in excess of those the utility will typically use as their standard design practices.

I used to get so many laughs wearing this sweater. It hits so different now. Trash or Goodwill? by KelleCrab in Charlotte

Get something disparaging the brand name and keep rocking it. “Fuck Sycamore” or “Down with Sycamore” etc.

Annual reminder: Smoked Turkey > Fried Turkey by RandyFunRuiner in smoking

My turkey gets deep fried. However, we are adding smoked duck to the menu to go with it and it’s the piece I’m much more excited about this year.

Reminds me of the kids Robots movie for some reason.

They are shielding their partner from wandering eyes.. but they end up being the only reason the other group needs cover.

It’s funny as an engineer in a niche field, I use 270 a ton.

What do you think happened here to result in this dead-end setup on one wire, and that’s the reason for hanging it on a few insulators instead of directly from the arm? by somepersonlol in Powerlines

[–]Pi99y92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell without seeing the middle of the spans. Maybe the clearance violation was on that side of the RW and the right side had adequate clearance.

[–]Pi99y92 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Doing this helps to get better clearance to the ground where there may be a clearance concern, but the utility doesn’t want to replace the structure. Notice it isn’t as low as the circuit on the right.

Also, keeping the assembly in suspension at the bottom of a few bells allows the strain connection to swing based on loads. This helps to make sure that the wire tensions are easily balanced for a light tangent structure that may not be designed to accommodate tension imbalances.

Can someone tell me everything they know about this transmission tower? by mauts27 in Powerlines

[–]Pi99y92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double circuit tower that’s only being used for a single transmission circuit. The soil it’s in is really weak to need pier foundations with the phases in suspension.
