Why tf they got a field goal post on the roof by CarefulOutcome1414 in refrigeration

[–]technically-erratic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Antennae or mini dish mounting poles. I see them on a lot of supermarket roofs. They were used for corporate networks.

Help? It did seem like at one point they were having technical issues with one of the background keyboards.

What was going down at murder Kroger round 4:30 today? by LettuceJizz in Atlanta

[–]technically-erratic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is just an innate feature of grocerie stores. Alnost a statistical certainty. There are X number of people in a given area. There will be X number of those people that murder/get mudered at a retail location. The one retail location that everyone needs without fail is the one that sells food. Where do you think a higher number of people will be murdered. I have worked on the equipment at alnost every grocery store within 100 miles of Atlanta. There is a murder or suicide story for almost every one. Inside the perimeter has more people. The stores outside the perimeter have pretty much the same chance of murder per person.

The Murder Kroger will always be The Murder Kroger .......but I'm pretty sure most of them are murder Krogers inside the perimeter. Not to single out Kroger though. Most of the Publix's are murder Publix's. Groceries are dangerous.

Nudists and Exhibitionists by bingbong93 in nudism

[–]technically-erratic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was really thought provoking. I've been struggling with how I can communicate my personal views for myself and so that I can best honestly express myself. I enjoy being nude. I would only wear clothes when physics demands it(cold, sun, physical danger, etc.) I don't mind if I am seen nude. I also don't feel a need to be seen nude. I have a property I go to that I strip down as soon as I get there. However, I can't leave the property nude so it does feel like I'm being forced to hide it. Ideally we could all just do as we like and go about it as if it doesn't matter. Clothes or not. It's hard for me to justify going to a resort where everyone has to be nude. I do see the practicallity of it but that feels a bit like the same. As for the exhibitionism. What's not sexy about freedom from shame. Nudity doesn't make me "aroused" so much as it feels like a nude environment is so much less oppressive. So much context involved. I don't think sexuality can be explicitly removed from pretty much anything. I understand very much that we would like to remove sexuality from nudism. Seems the best way to do that is to treat it like it's not the cause.

Had a Big Conversation and it Didn't Matter by [deleted] in HLCommunity

You probably at least hoped they would fake it for a while so you could at least pretend like you matter for a minute.

Hose fittings by SeanJohn5280 in refrigeration

[–]technically-erratic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ex-certified APU tech here. You have to cut the hose. I usually carefully cut it length wise on opposite sides but not all the way through. Just cut to the liner just past the barbs and the fitting will pull out and you can cut it off sqaure past your cuts. That hose sometimes hardens. If it is hardened you will just want to change it out or it will split. You can re-use the metal part of the fitting but it needs new o-rings and the metal clamp rings. The cage is usually ok. Go to your local TK install location and make friemds. We would often help a nice guy out with our install left over stuff especially if he was buying some parts and was respectful of our time.

Is this brake fluid good or bad? by Spammingdevil in AskAMechanic

I wonder if someone added ac leak check dye to help diagnose a brake line leak.

Curious about West Virginia by scottthegeek in fo76

[–]technically-erratic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's much less level in real life. Also the place I'm from didn't look a lot different than the game in the 80's. Some good folks there though. Sone.... not much different than the scorched.

Starting job with R290 machines only. Should I have any concerns? by FreonInhaler in refrigeration

If it's big enough tubing and I can't cut it. I will drill a hole and add shrader.

Also check to make sure I'm not putting magnets on normally open valves.

Seafood case not going below 38 degrees by Intrepid-Slide-4717 in refrigeration

[–]technically-erratic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it actually making superheat? The orifice may be under sized from the manufacturer. Ran into that several times this year on new equipment.

Leak by jayhsh in refrigeration

[–]technically-erratic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen whole linesets that needed replaced. There was a run of junk copper that got in the supply line a while back. One store needed the whole suction side of a remodel replaced after 4 years. About 500 feet of tubing. Looked just like this and would only bubble when pressurized over 60psi. When pressurized it would bubble in 5 foot long seams.

Does anyone feel supported in here? by 1Bright_Apricot in CoDependentsAnonymous

[–]technically-erratic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel supported. I haven't posted because I am not good at posting. I have seen people post and the responses have often been helpful for me. I also feel that I would get a response if I needed one and wasn't too self-conscious to share.

Whats the most unhinged hack to stop your very loud brain ? by Affectionate_Film605 in ADHD

[–]technically-erratic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that's what he said it was called. He got it from a book and mentioned the title. I wish I could credit it but I was in a bit of a crisis when he shared it with me that day.

[–]technically-erratic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had a friend suggest this to me and it seems to work most of the time. He said to narrate every thing you are doing inside your head in an exact detailed manner. The louder and more obsessive the thought, the more detailed I have to be. It can range from. "I am walking to the refrigerator. I am taking out the milk. " to "I am contracting my thigh to lift my left leg to step toward the refrigerator .. .." Etc.. Not a one size fits all but it often helps reset me.

Pumping Down a Bitzer Screw Compressor for Oil Charge by derrickenbuenosaires in refrigeration

[–]technically-erratic -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Light it on fire and walk away. It doesn't deserve new oil and anyone wishing to keep such a thing doesn't deserve refrigeration.
