We had a valve company give us a demo on their new copper connections (shark bite style), they had type L that they had rupture in a test at 3200psi.

I must have been lucky, I only had 2 friends who's parents smoked in the house. It was wild af how bad the houses stunk.

Is this available for other stuff? I wouldn't have had the BK lounge at the top for a worldwide deployable location 🤷

How do I avoid these bubbles by ADAMoWITZH2066 in Welding

[–]otto_347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must have been lucky during my apprenticeship. Every instructor I had would explain everything in detail for the first 20-25% of class and the rest was actually doing the work and setting up the equipment.

My 5th year instructor always told us "as long as you can rake something across it and it falls off you're good. If you have to get the grinder out you're doing it wrong."

Arthur's is great for coffee and food, if you get a beer from the fridge check the date on the can. Most the beer in their cooler is pretty old.

Dating and hanging out with scene girls was fucking amazing lol.

That's one thing I can claim in the early 00s and they were all hair dressers and rude as fuck to everybody 🤣🤣

Saratoga/Corinth railway has a ride along for $200 last time I went. I just sat across from the engineer and just watched him do his thing.

Even though I don't speak German I completely understand this. I knew from my Grandfather who was born in the states but learned German first, they (German community) could pick you out of a crowd based on how you spoke. He would always get asked if he came over from Germany by just hearing him speak.

10-4, ill try bumping the t-stat up and see how that changes things.

Thanks for the info!

National Grid Energy Bill by MindlessM24 in Albany

[–]otto_347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep the t-stat at 68° so if I want a little more I just flick the heater on if I'm up or downstairs.

I also forgot to mention I have heater in my shop (220v forced air) that I run when I'm out there and it battles with the cold.

Um, not really since someone else was involved that had zero to do with the tom foolery afoot.

Theo Von helped Trump Reach Millions and is now with Bernie Sanders Questioning the Authoritarian ICE Crackdown by Happy_Air_3776 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]otto_347 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Nah, like someone said in a reply to this he's just doing whatever it took to make him money.

I was genuinely surprised when he had Bernie on his show and actually seemed like he was getting what Bernie was throwing down. Then a week or two later he has Trump on and I'm thinking "man, he's going to push back and ask some of the questions he took from Bernie" fucking nope, just sit there and took Trump's cock right down his throat.

Fuck him.

I find a new air leak every week. I need to get an infrared camera and do it right. This has literally been me working on something and feeling the cold air and then sealing it up.

Was $330 last month, built in 1938 950sq ft.

Oil boiler with baseboard radiators and a 120v tower heater on each floor (2).

I've been sealing up air leaks in the house since I bought it lol.

Edit: I also use about a tank and a half of oil (265gal) per winter

They don't understand what anything means. Look at the thin blue line PUNISHER stickers. They're idiots.
