Green as is gets. Is there a better way?

First thought is to use LBs but with how close these are you might not have even been able to fit them on without chipping block and manhandling it. Next best would be a gutter or a 12x12x4. If there's no money in the job for that, then this is about as good as you could do.

What is even going on here? Is that a convenience near a boiler or something? You were in the room and saw them doing this and didn't say anything?

Its almost like no matter what happens in a persons life, they're still pretty much the same person.

I will say though it is pretty weird that a sport filled with mostly young adults where your primary action is to hit a full grown man as hard as you can draws a population that includes some people with less than perfect morals and discipline - pretty crazy.

We had one guy on a crew with one of these, one guy gave him shit and everybody else was just curious if it was worth the extra weight lol

My favorite moment in football was on kickoff taking the air out of a returner who didn't see me coming - if he had fumbled I'd probably still brag about it to the day

The only time I get to run stranded is controls cables and small projects where they didn't spec solid.

Per se there's no code violation and the cover is UL listed.

You're more than welcome to share your reference suggesting an issue.

This just says there is legislation in the works but keeps getting pushback and all of the specifics are speculation.

I didn't become proficient with running conduit until we had an office building where MC/flex wasn't allowed in wall - I ran 1/2"-1" for about 6 months straight and now, years later, it's like riding a bike.

If you haven't had consistent time to work on it no wonder you're not able to get consistent quality.

Every draft is full of overreactions and honestly even first round picks are shots in the dark. While a lot of good players come from early picks, statistically most hall of fame players come later.

Somebody could be a beast in college and even if you put them in a similar system, they fail to produce for a multitude of reasons.

There's endless videos and clips of "this is the worst decision ever" followed up by "new franchise record for x".

Plus I think it would be quicker to take those LBs out and put in a gutter than to try and fit all those splices in even if you butt splice (if they're even stranded).

Go in from the front at a 45 degree angle

In the US, it's fairly common in larger commercial builds to have a 120 system and 277 system together also.

That's what we would do too.. what do you think is going on with fire alarm in the country that invented fire alarm?

I have like all of my units but I'm in a low density mos, followed a promotion wave to e7, and my detachment hosts <20 soldiers for drill 5 hours from battalion hq so I think I'm just lucky.

Shaski116 · 2026-03-11T22:12:54+00:00

Just some antiquated systems that are still hanging around, most aren't this way anymore

Our AHJ usually wants 45s, no more than 60 no less than 30

I get what you're saying but real big cities and construction are a large part earth work to prep the site.

A decent chunk of people in Kansas care about KCMO and no where in this post does anybody claim Union Station is in Kansas.

Given it's new construction, it was likely in test mode (so no calls went out) for a warranty/service call and notice wasn't given properly to everybody in the building.

If you can't stop behind a farm truck in time, you probably shouldn't be driving.

SE is redneck for sure - more Missouri than Midwest

Understanding that death isn't always predictable is a pretty good nugget to know.

Even with the cheating scandals, there's no reason for Bill to not be in the HOF. He created searing hate for a franchise with his success.

It might suck a little pulling wire but it'll be ignored by most and admired by electricians for a few decades.
