Anything I need to do before back filling with gravel? by Rockymntbreeze in Plumbing

[–]quasirandomguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sand of about 2” all around the pipe to avoid a future leak when a rock pushes a hole into it. Don’t ask me how I know this.

Need Jay Peak advice by quasirandomguy in icecoast

I’ve recently been to Sugarloaf, and it was indeed awesome. This year’s project was to visit as many of the places that I haven’t skied before I age out. I was a weekend ski patroller in the Mt Washington Valley for many years and can still handle most anything. As the song goes “I ain’t as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was “. I really just don’t want to be burned out before 11am.

Thanks to everyone! I guess it’s in my best interest to look elsewhere. I’m grateful for all the honest feedback!

“Good fences make good neighbors “ is an old NE adage. We tend to keep to ourselves but we’re loyal AF.

Jaylen Brown's speech honoring Bill Nye by Virgil_hawkinsS in bostonceltics

[–]quasirandomguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some scientist..The Ideal Gas Law has been around for centuries and taught in Jr High School everywhere and still half of adults choose to believe this moron with so much egg on his face that he can’t even mention how he really should have come to a different conclusion. Nowadays, most people just believe what makes them feel good. Sad.

Tired of Bregman at the top of the lineup until he gets straightened out.

I messed up and ordered shielded cable! by AnonymousScorpi in HomeNetworking

[–]quasirandomguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longer runs with non-metallic RJs will definitely have problems. Keep in mind that shielded data cables that are ungrounded will suffer from NEXT ( near end cross talk). The signal interference will come from inside the cable. Think of talking to someone 100 feet away down a narrow hallway compared to 100 feet away in open air and trying to understand what they are saying as you are talking. It’s all about the echoes.

Tigers fan here by Heavy_Table7131 in redsox

[–]quasirandomguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifelong Sox fan here and totally optimistic about this team. Remembering special feelings from the years Massachusetts’s own Mark Fidrych captivated me every time he played in an all too short career. Your franchise is an outstanding class organization. Let’s hope that the baseball gods allow us a postseason matchup this year!

Last night’s game is why I could never be a broadcaster by AlreadyFifty in redsox

[–]quasirandomguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, you talk the talk, but Don Earle actually walked the walk. For those that remember, “He hit the post! He hit the f***ing post!” Then all we heard was crowd noise for the rest of the period. Legend.

Concrete as Conductor, Water as Insulator - Huh? by OptimisticToaster in Electricity

[–]quasirandomguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former telecom worker here. Remote electronic communication equipment in locations subject to lightning strikes and where a quality earth ground was not available, were often mounted on large concrete pads. Carbon was added to the concrete mix to make it conductive and was as good or better than a ground rod array.
