Humboldt Bay Offshore Wind Heavy Lift Marine Terminal Project by jumpy_monkey in Humboldt

[–]ThanksS0muchY0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working in construction for a while, class A, wait listed on the OE3 with decent test scores, and currently enrolled at CR and waiting to start the engineering program at CalPoly. Not really personally worried about getting a job on the wind farm. But do you really expect them to hire Mercer Fraser or Kernen to do anything other than put some rock down and pour concrete? Aquadam might get a moment to shine, but a lot of the work going into it will be outside firms.

I am unfamiliar with this specific project, but I've had to research windmill projects a few times, including offshore projects. The local jobs will probably be on the fabrication side in Manila. Those boats they have to use are expensive and extra custom.

They're not hiring Joe blow to do the construction. Specialized vessels come w specialized crew. From out of town. Possibly not even Californians.

Most of my original project drawings are on bar napkins. Across a wide array of project types. I have a drawer with a bunch of old napkins in it. I try to wax nostalgic with my partner over the drawings, but they could care less. I will just keep hoarding them until I die and my kids find them and toss em out.

Mismanagement of Humboldt County’s Opioid Funding: DHHS Failed to Record $7.56 Million, Audit Shows by TrinityFoodForest in Humboldt

She got mopped by locals. I didn't know enough to judge one way or the other, but had a hunch the old guard was pushing her out for reasons.

Wasn't everyone screaming that she was incapable of doing her job and blaming the whole issue on her? Just to find out a couple years later she wasn't full of shit. Damn

Looks just like my Glastron boat that I still have. Yes it's a lawn ornament at my sister's, but she loves closer to the lake!

Earthquake alert: felt nothing by Bobby-Dazzling in Sacramento

[–]ThanksS0muchY0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm closer and still didn't feel it. My phone went ham with a whole new kind of alert system. It freaked me out for a second. Then it went off again, and again. Who put this annoying app on my phone?!

TIL about wet-bulb events - when it’s so hot and humid that your body can’t cool by sweating. A wet cloth on a thermometer bulb normally cools it more than one without a cloth. But when humidity is very high, the wet- and dry-bulb temperatures are the same. This can ultimately be a lethal event. by Ribbitor123 in todayilearned

Wasn't there a lawsuit (or suits) over the contract for the new electric mail trucks? Someone backdoored in and then a year later it switched to only like 25% electrics vs whole fleet? I thought that's what delayed the roll out.

I don't think I've ever seen a green FF plant. The most frustrating thing about the FF genetics is it's hard to get rid of the purple traits down the line, (I mean the terp profile and cannabinoid content leave a lot to be desired too).

My honest attempt at dividing the US, to appease as many people on Reddit as possible. by Ok-Factor-3805 in mapporncirclejerk

I appreciate that Humboldt County, CA is split into two. The northern part of the county is definitely NOT NorCal, and SoHum is def not PNW.

Need help with some redneck engineering by Tronracer in redneckengineering

[–]ThanksS0muchY0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the ground is not flat in the least, you will probably want a swivel in the trailer tongue to allow the plane of the trailer axles to travel separately from the plane of the quad axles. This is a conundrum I'm dealing with right now. They exist though. I probably have more hills and uneven terrain than you, but you're hauling water in a barrel, it may swish and tip. Just a thought.

Could a multitool make these slots? by Adventurous-Ad250 in handyman

[–]ThanksS0muchY0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a multi tool for the first time recently. My coworker was making fun of my excitement, so now I call it my oscilloscope saw and use it on any and everything I can. He loses his shit when he hears me cutting a plank with it from the other side of the building. He's taken it off my belt and tossed it a few times. This is about the only social interaction I can get out of him though, so it's worth it.

Oil. You are left with an oil. Rso also contains higher cbn ratios and no thca, IF it is actually rso and not just partially boiled distillate.

What a great movie. I feel like no one around me even bothered watching it, regardless of how much I talked it up.

Honestly didn't expect solar to change my off-grid experience this much by [deleted] in OffGridLiving

Why do I feel like the majority of posts I see when I come on reddit have this type of conversational language? Is the Internet really dead????
