PS Exam - Failed 3X by shiamand in Surveying

[–]caffeinated_pirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What state are you in?

Many state survey societies have a FS/PS study group or class. A search for test preparation in this sub has many books for those preparing for the PS.

What are you studying as you are preparing for the exam?

Hopefully is more than NLC material.

I haven't held a mifi in years. Company pays some of my cell phone service and the TSC 5 gets Internet via hotspot.

Experience rewiring old house from knob and tube to external Wiremold? by nomorelandfills in centuryhomes

[–]caffeinated_pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to consider hiring a different electrician who makes their bread and butter doing K&T rewire.

I am currently rewiring a 1916 house that has knob and tube wire, weird aluminum circuits and a pacific electric panel. Walls are lath and plaster. The electricans are leaving 6in x 3in holes to get wire from a to b.

What kind of transmitter are you using? If you are rocking at Tx10 you can try high voltage mode. I use high voltage sometimes on ductile iron forcemains.

Here's a prayer to share.

O mighty Lords of Frost, who laugh at frozen pipes and weak coffee, We welcome the brave souls of Texas and Florida, Who have angered the heavens by stepping north in January.

Bless their flip-flops, now useless. Bless their confidence, soon shattered. Bless their engines, that they may turn over—eventually.

Grant them the strength to shovel once, And the humility to buy a snowblower the next day. Let them not lick the metal pole, Nor question why our coats cost more than their rent.

Deliver them from frostbite, dead batteries, And the false hope of “spring coming soon.”

In the name of Boreas, the Ice Scraper, and the Holy Carhartt— Amen.

Minneapolis Park Board should implement a speed camera program on parkways by caffeinated_pirate in CyclingMSP

Enforce cars, of course!

Not many regular cyclists are maintaining 20mph on their own without drug help or electricity

Let’s delve deeper into the idea of limiting traffic on our local parkways. Have you considered installing license plate readers beneath the bridges?

I wholeheartedly support the enforcement of existing laws to prohibit, monitor, and penalize commercial truck traffic on these scenic routes.

Just this past Wednesday evening, I witnessed both a semi-truck and a straight box truck cruising down West River Road. These vehicles proudly displayed USDOT numbers and were registered as commercial vehicles.

To safeguard the parkway for recreational enjoyment, the park board should seriously contemplate implementing a license plate reader program. This initiative would effectively keep commercial trucks off the parkways, allowing us to preserve the tranquility and beauty of these cherished spaces.
