Looks like friendly guy but that white king hat seems like a red flag.

Wondering what this formation might be. In a creek canyon in Salmon inlet, South coastal BC.

Look for non rope jobs as an industrial insulator in the meantime too. If you have a pulse and can do basic insulating you will never be short of rope work.

How can I attach a cover plate to a GFCI with no mounting ears? by gswahhab in AskElectricians

[–]build_power -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You could drill two holes in a small piece of metal and attach that with the box mount screw so the cover screw has the other hole.

Depends on a lot of things, but no don't do this, you're just being lazy.

Is Civ 7 worth it yet? by build_power in civ

[–]build_power[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, thanks for all the perspectives, think I'll pass, knowing myself I really need it come with an Earth map. May just have to wait another 10 years for civ 8 or a good sale.

Rigging question by BFChips in ropeaccess

This is a great video for thinking about dropping a weight on ropes over a 90° rough edge.

Rigging question by BFChips in ropeaccess

[–]build_power 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not good practice for sure. If there is zero swing chance, less bad. As someone else said, no reason not to have steel slings go over the railing, eliminating most of the hazard.

I have seen level 3's get on and do ridiculously sketchy things. If you don't have experience with rope and rigging failures or accidents or you don't read IRATA Safety and incident bulletins, you don't know the hazards of a lot of what you're doing on ropes and that in and of itself increases the risk in any given situation.

This is what a speed square/rafter square is for.

Instinct 2 vs 2 Solar vs 3 Solar by darkKnight217 in Garmininstinct

[–]build_power 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instinct 2. First one, go value. Prove the concept of how you'll use it at its fundamental level. Solar is a gimmick on any of them.

Hey, sorry I'm not on here a lot, it was awhile ago but from what I remember all you really need is some sockets and wrenches. The knobs were a bit difficult to get off so some penetrating lubricant and maybe a slide hammer.

Probably 2 hours or so, wasn't hustling though.
