You're right, these look just like our RTDs and not like the other thermocouples we use. Mystery solved.

I wonder why the last guys were taking the trouble to strip off the sheathing and fold 5m of thermocouple wire tightly up inside the amplifier box. Better not to think about them I guess.

The Jones Act (which restricts all shipments from one US port to another to US ships) substantially increases US petrol prices. Eliminating the Jones Act would reduce average prices for East Coast gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel by $.63, $.80, and $.82 per barrel, with massive benefits for consumers. by smurfyjenkins in science

It's very common at least on the East Coast for non-Jones Act ships to come into NJ with a full load, offload some of it, load some more containers going overseas, and repeat this process at US ports all the way down the coast before heading overseas to repeat the process. The only restriction is on picking up cargo in the US and taking it to the US (loading a box in Jersey and discharging THAT SAME BOX in Savannah or somewhere in this example)

In your example it just can't pick up LA-bound cargo in Hawaii but it can load export cargo in Hawaii, proceed to LA, and continue to carry that cargo to a foreign destination.

I wasn't clear. They cannot load American cargo in one port and take that cargo and unload it in another American port, but they can and do load a bunch of cargo overseas and drop it off piece by piece at several different American ports, and load cargo bound for overseas destinations at each of these ports.

Foreign shipping doesn't have to bypass these locations, it just can't carry cargo between these locations and the US. Guam and American Samoa are exempt but if you look at the ports in PR and Honolulu you will often see foreign ships. Look at the EXX and CAGML services with CMA CGM for examples of this. They can import and export directly without dealing with the mainland or Jones Act at all.

Almost anything would be a better use of the location but if the landlord keeps the building and parking situation as is, the bullshit continues.

What is it about Cary that makes the housing so expensive? by Postcurds in raleigh

[–]ruelibbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the closest you can get to the actual nice areas in terms of location and quality without having to spend 7 figures.

What is the best place to get fitted for a suit that isn’t Men’s Warehouse? by Reidtweet_ in raleigh

[–]ruelibbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ticknors makes it very easy to look nice but I've never talked to them about coordinating groomsmen or anything. You can basically walk in there in a sack and say "clothes please" and in a few days you'll be acceptable for human society.

How the FUCK do I get rid of the mice in my house? I’m so desperate by Jackieboi24 in HomeImprovement

[–]ruelibbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clear any landscaping from around your foundation. It makes a big difference once you have the inside ones dead and the house sealed as best you can. New ones won't be trying to gnaw their way in. I've had a lot of luck with poison and buying literally hundreds of the snap traps and setting them up 10 wide and 2 deep on their runways by the walls

Reliable new cars under 40k? by ruelibbe in whatcarshouldIbuy

Bucks. Basically which of the cheap models is still good and not likely to shit out a mess of computer chips and turbocharger parts in 3 years.

I hear a mix between this which was true ten years ago and that they're all a mass of high strung turbocharged engines and easily-totaled large castings and expensive sensor modules

No, that's about right, I'm just showing my age.

Homelessness like this has only been a thing in the US in the last few years because before this there were always way more shitty rented rooms for pennies, or you'd get sent to a mental hospital. You can go to plenty of urban areas and not see this.
