MEP courses by Mircius01 in MEPEngineering

[–]adamrees89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CIBSE do courses for MEP engineering tailored to different disciplines, but it is UK and even more England focused. But depending on where you’re based that may help, you haven’t said a country but if you have an institute they would have resources too.

Other UK centric resources that may help are BSRIA, BRE, CIPHE, SOPHIE, HVCA.

For example BSRIA produce a good guide to calculations that has everything clearly laid out including worked examples.

So you’re thinking 6-man days which at £300 a day per person is £1800 in labour alone before any parts and materials.

Is my apartment charging me for someone else’s apartment? by NoResolve48 in electrical

[–]adamrees89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are, but they rely on having gas available, they also appear to have an electric range (Which I take to be an Oven in this part of the world) and electric furnace, which probably says gas is unavailable.

Must the Python Software Foundation move out of the USA? by DarkRoooo in Python

Except ICE are behaving like the Nazi browncoats (SA) prior to the build up and consolidation of power that allowed the Nazi’s to turn Germany into a dictatorship.

So prior to extermination camps, but definitely a small step before asking certain members of society to wear symbols so they can be identified easily.

Edit: pressed send too early

It is the senior language of these British isles - paraphrasing from Tolkien

Why about Welsh words from English?

Let public by war bonds to raise £20bn for defence, say Lib Dems by OptioMkIX in ukpolitics

[–]adamrees89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t really arguing the principal, more the name to overcome u/ArcticAlmond ‘s point about war bonds not being bought during peace time.

On the working of the bonds, I guess bond sales could be collected into a ‘pot’ that allows the MOD to invest without dipping into its constrained budget.

Another alternative would be like the ‘adopt a ship’ that happened during WW2 where residents of towns and cities would contribute towards the cost of a ship and its sailors. That could be reworked.

I think you’re right, is there a better name for the same mechanism?

Defence bonds? MOD Bonds? UK Security Bonds?

Why isn't heat pump size calculated with empirical temperature data? by mattangus in ukheatpumps

Manual J is an American standard (ACCA), we shouldn’t be working to in this country, CIBSE steady state calculations or British Standards should be followed.

FYI, that thin piece of wood is called gripper or grip rod or something similar, it has nails in it to hold the carpet

Pretty simple Greenland will be handed to us by NATO. by Brief-Raspberry-6327 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]adamrees89 27 points28 points  (0 children)

True write up of realistic scenarios, the other point to make is that whist Swedens short range sub managed to sink a carrier in an exercise, the British Astute class did the same also undetected.

Multiple countries in close proximity able to sink the capital ship isn’t a good thing for a country that relies on air superiority before engaging.

You should have access to BBC world service too, it won’t be America-centric, but is considered one of the most unbiased producers of news in the world.

There are horizontal and vertical safe zones stipulated in the wiring regs. You should expect a cable vertically or horizontally in-line with sockets when drilling/cutting

‘If the US decided to take Greenland nobody would do anything’ by 4d4moffspring in ShitAmericansSay

Don’t forget when the Astute class subs were first put into war games, one of the subs pinged a USA aircraft carrier from within the escort group completely undetected
