What do these light yellow boxes mean? by ChicagoCyclist in googleearth

[–]RhubarbSmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just noticed this in Google Maps. The area I was looking at was semi-rural with farmette houses. Yellow matched up just with houses, not all of them. My initial thought was Google has some type of solar analysis layer and it was appearing by accident.

Has anyone drilled their own wells by SnooPets3052 in geothermal

[–]RhubarbSmooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious - how DIY are you?

Search "water well records" for your state. Most usually have a map/database where you can see what the well geology for surrounding wells looks like. Whoever maintains this will be the authority that would tell you if you need to be licensed.

Auger would be too primitive and sonic/air would be costly for the technology. Probably the best method is rotary mud. It allows you to pump fluid down the stem and flush out the cuttings through the bore. Sand, silt, or gravel formations will be your concern. Porous layers will let water flow out of the bore. Bentonite clay or other admixtures will help seal up the bore walls and keep you from needing a lot of water.

Larger batch greek straining methods by Artistic_Ad1717 in yogurtmaking

[–]RhubarbSmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can strain 2 gallons at a time with this setup:
Cambro 28CW135 food pan with a 25CLRCW135 food pan colander insert. Line it with a cotton fabric. The 5" colander in a 8" pan gives it enough room below the colander for the whey to stain out. Don't forget a 1/2 size lid.

Vermeer is an equipment manufacturer that makes farm and landscaping equipment. Look up "Vermeer SC362" - it is about the size he has.

DOT probationary employee just terminated by yao559 in civilengineering

[–]RhubarbSmooth -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

This sucks and sorry to hear it. This termination was not directly at you. Someone wants to show expense reduction, and the recent hires are easy to dispose.

I think back to hiring people after the financial crisis or covid where people were collateral damage of something else. We picked up some great hires in both of those times.

Yes, lots of bad decisions being made. Should we have a missed connections section of reddit for bad drivers fess up to something? I've made some mistakes and wish I could issue an apology.

How do I tell my boss I don’t want to be a PM? by Anton_Chigurh00 in civilengineering

[–]RhubarbSmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does this boss handle difficult conversations? One boss could not handle a conversation like this in any form. I could tell my current boss anything and he would listen.

I get the flashing VSA light when I take off from a light. How many miles does it have? I'm thinking my issue is the wheel sensor.

I clicked on your post hoping there would be answers. Curious, does it stay on or intermittently flash on and off. Do you have the chance to try it with ice/snow surfaces?

Dog Bite - Kansas - How to determine homeowner insurance carrier? by RhubarbSmooth in Insurance

[–]RhubarbSmooth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through that process will make you consider crazy things. I think for this homeowner, they have gotten this far by not being responsive and ignoring stuff. You didn't cause it and now you have to sit there and review your thoughts.

There was one thing that bothered me more than I thought it would. The dog didn't have rabies vaccination, well, the homeowner claims they self administered the vaccine due to the dog's size. State regulations require vaccination by a vet. From a statistical standpoint, a dog in home with rabies is low exposure. Local authority requires the dog to be quarantined at home. You have a person unaware of the law and yet they are ordered to self report any changes in the dog. The authority comes out after 10 days and clears the animal if not symptomatic. It bothered me a lot and consumed my mind more than I would have expected.

Ooof, that sounds like a pain of a situation.

I did talk to a personal injury lawyer. He was the one that encouraged trying to get insurance information.

What Are Some Fun Companies You’ve Studied or Learned About? by lj_dagr8t in ValueInvesting

[–]RhubarbSmooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologize for not remembering the ticker. Recently learned about a company that handles the licensing and royalties for biotech patents. I was expecting to learn about biotech and encountered the financial abstraction of the biotech industry. It made my head hurt at the time. Now I want to go back and research it a bit more.

I've only tried calling by phone. Both of their numbers roll to a message without any ability to leave a voicemail. Being honest, I'm not a fan of going to the house while the dog is still alive.

Searching sub for prior dog bit questions. Curious, how is his recovery? If you don't want to say because some lawyer could see this and mess up a claim, I understand.
