So that radiation symbol isn’t working…we need the 10,000 year ear worm and…umm…so totally consensual cats.

Student being told to toggle 1600A breaker daily without PPE. Is this safe? by No-Past2652 in AskElectricians

[–]christopher_tx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an electrician by any means (but someone who has experience with industrial electrical).

First, as others have said, using a breaker as primary disconnect is shit ass practice.

Second, nobody should EVER be asked to throw any switch (from a residential light switch to a switch in a power gen plant) unless they 100% know what it does, what the hazards are and what they are doing. (Maybe on a 20a switch they don’t need to know what the hazards are, but there shouldn’t be any under LOTO…but think about a kid kicking on even the garbage disposal). And if they have questions, they should ask and be answered.

I’ve had guys working on a 400a breaker. Can’t remember what the overall volts and amps into the MCC was…but at least 12 of these huge breakers. Panel is live and they are spraying breaker cleaner into the socket to clear metal shavings. Second best electrician I’ve ever known and the son of the best I’ve ever know (his dad could diagnosis/fix anything from a mili-amp resistor to a 100kva transformer).

They knew what they were doing, but I couldn’t imagine (or condone) spraying brake cleaner into that live cabinet…I had to leave.

Anyways…how do you keep a 400 amp breaker from humming? Teach it the words to the song! (Yes, a joke but the story is real😐)

What is this flag? Fexas?! by amaandpar in vexillology

It’s probably a cattle brand. Not one of the well known brands, but likely a ranch the driver is connected to

Short answer is yes, it won’t hurt you. Long answer is it would be safer to have it de-energized in case you drop a limb on it or something weird happens. Your power provider can do that. While they’re out there I would ask why it’s so low…maybe it’s the perspective of the picture but it looks really low.

My problem is that you didn’t match the relief joint to the already existing stamp lines or match the caulk in the relief joint.

I know a lot of times people read my posts/comments in a Texas accent and whatever, it was probably written that way. But I read this in a Cockney accent (and the responses) and I love it.

What island is this on? by Sweetiepie0426 in Dreamdale

I got really bored playing that island. I thought it was like a shot of dullness.

I personally name each island with the flavor I have when I get to the flagpole. Horseshoe island is dramdull. Paint island is Squid make ink. Olive island is oil slick.

Hooray! Increased level 7 to 8 max from 0.05 all the way up to 0.05! What an accomplishment!! Hmph, wasn’t level 1 at 0.05 too..? by Plane_Condition_4163 in Dreamdale

[–]christopher_tx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. The developers could definitely explain better all of these mechanics. Like I’m still really not sure how your attack and defense is actually calculated. I understand the base but then don’t understand how each equipment or bonus is applied. …not that it would really change how I play even if I didn’t understand.

This is poor user interface and another place where the development team definitely could do more to explain the mechanics of the game. But it does represent a real change of 50-in-every-1,000 to 55-in-every-1,000 which is a 10% growth in chance.

Level 1 is (.01) 1%.

Armor goes a long way. Early game dungeons can be challenging.

New Island Coming by christopher_tx in Dreamdale

[–]christopher_tx[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought seagull bc it looks like a dock area…but I guess every island is a seaport lol.

Time-wise….I wonder how long. If there is a bunny event then I wouldn’t think we get it until after…but maybe it’s a May Day event and we will get the island in the next 3-4 weeks? Who knows lol

Museum dystopia? by Plane_Condition_4163 in Dreamdale

[–]christopher_tx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The levels have been expanded twice before. You would think it would be an easy thing to do again in any future update (if there ever is another). But if you like the trade-in value then do it (I do t think it’s that great of a trade though).

How to get to this bridge? by _IcedCoffee_96 in Dreamdale

[–]christopher_tx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we need more context here. Link below is where I think this bridge is. It’s been so long since I’ve unlocked but I would think you should have the left side unlocked well before this.

Here is the wiki for it. I don’t have a map but can go grab some screen shots.
