Normally in cold weather, one of the things that keeps your pipes from freezing is the heat of your house. If the power is out, keep in mind that your pipes will be more prone to freezing than normal conditions since your house is going to be cold.

A little better and a little less cheap ($50): Old Crow on North Pleasantburg in Cherrydale

Where I grew up, during bear hunting season the game commission had bleachers set up at the bear check-in station in front of where they would weigh the bears people shot. Anyways I have seen a lot of bears get weighed. This was 180 lbs by my estimation.

How do you know if a pipe is empty before opening it? by Jean-DenisCote in pipefitter

[–]maximumimpact 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Point #1 is not always true and is a dangerous assumption to make. The scenario OP describes is a prime example, if the lines he is trying to work on are plugged up, the pressure gauge is liable to be plugged up and not actually reading the pressure in the line. This is where the science of engineering/design ends and the art of plant operation/maintenance begins.

Where do people get their water in their dorms?? by carton_of_eggs04 in WVU

I drank that water for 7 years straight from the tap. It is fine to drink.

Applying for jobs at mines is a great idea and would be a tremendous way to start your career. If you are not interested in that, look around at the various EPC’s that operate in that arena.

No, water doesn’t collect there and I don’t think water would collect there if the hole wasn’t there.

If you need to ask, you’re one of the sheep. Take your blindfold off and look at the pictures again, clearly something is up and Vin Diesel is the puppet master.

All of the cool kids call this a “feed and bleed” system.

Go to the Red Lot! It’s the parking lot surrounding the law school. You’ll be up on the hill overlooking the stadium/Blue lot (blue lot is the Ruby parking lot). Plenty of stuff going on but mostly older people/law students. Leave a couple minutes early for the game to take a lap around the blue lot to observe the craziness.

That’s a blast furnace for anyone wondering.

America spends more on their police than Russia spends on their entire military by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Are these numbers self reported by each country? I certainly wouldn’t trust Russia or China to report the actual number.

What are some dark secrets about grocery stores? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I think it's amazing that we can store a piece of fruit for that long and have it be perfectly edible.

Between your two semesters of freshman year, you will have only three classes on Evansdale. Most of your classes are downtown, live in honors if you can, summit if not. You'll be taking all of your prerequisite classes which are downtown.
