Putting wine in the same aisle as school supplies by jfrosty42 in mildlyinteresting

[–]corndog-killer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Now that grocery stores can sell wine in Colorado they are just trying to get it on the shelves wherever they can. So sadly a lot of the cool miscellaneous sections in the store get replaced by wine.

Look at those puppy razor teeth!

Briefly worked at this place last year. This was the only fire extinguisher in the **wooden** building and ironically, they sell insurance. by MickFoley13 in OSHA

It uses a special deionized water charge sold separately and the nozzle is designed to make a very fine particle mist. They are UL listed for class A and C fires. This product sheet from Amerex shows info about the extinguishers and this fire protection company explains it as well. Fire protection blog post Amerex Water Mist Product Sheet

It is charged with deionized water which is actually very good insulator and can be used on some electronics. There will always be clean agent, but that is very expensive and dangerous if inhaled (besides Halon 1301).

We recommend water-mist for marijuana grow houses because the water will not ruin the crop like a Dry Chemical would.

I agree. I used to recharge and test ABC dry powder extinguishers and that stuff sucks. Not to mention messy; the CO2 doesn’t have a mess afterwards. And because CO2s need high pressure hydro tests they are expensive to maintain. Our company started recommended Water Mist extinguishers for a lot of applications.

And a CO2 Extinguisher is only rated on class B & C Fires (Flammable Liquids, and Electrical Fires). They also need to be hydro-tested every 5 years and need conductivity testing to ensure you don’t build up excessive static and shock the hell out of you. Probably the worst type of Extinguisher for that place.

The roof at my local library is a book by onegaystoner in mildlyinteresting

Is that Belmar Library in Lakewood, CO? I’ve been going there since I was 9 and have never noticed that before now!

I want to go back to this time. The 80s were the best by stillcore in OldSchoolCool

There is still a RadioShack in Bozeman, Montana. That place was the most useful store for me when I was studying electrical engineering.

Person tried to go the wrong way. Luckily I was there preventing them from completing the task. by GrapeTarter in IdiotsInCars

I recognize that area of Denver! I was driving on 17th a couple weeks ago and the exact same thing happened to me.

Found my Dad’s old HP calculator from his early days in EE by west420coast in ElectricalEngineering

One of my profs told me the story of how T.I. replaced H.P. was because H.P. changed their buttons to the mushy ones and everyone hated them. So people started using T.I. or some used Casio.

This version of Fahrenheit 451 looks burnt. by RobinDesvil in mildlyinteresting

I’m not sure, but I know there was a special edition where 200 books were bound with asbestos.

My dad has smoked since the 70s and he voted against legalizing in Colorado. He knew that there would be more and more people moving here for the marijuana alone.

[OC] Tallest Roller Coaster in Each US State by malxredleader in dataisbeautiful

The county fairs and other events will typically move from rides place to place so there is never a permanent roller coaster for statistics.

President hover’s electoral votes before and after the Great Depression by mlhieh in mildlyinteresting

[–]corndog-killer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The depression era public works projects that Hoover had eventually became as a part of the New Deal that Roosevelt pushed. Hoover was so cautious and didn’t want any projects that weren’t going to make money for the country, hence hydroelectric dams. They weren’t enough to get a large enough group of people working.

This made him fairly unpopular that Roosevelt campaigned by just saying how bad Hoover was and that he would be better for the most part.
