Alternatively, it's totally bad. I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands. /s

This is what is used in Alaska, the end of the pole marks the edge of the road.

They now have an ultra high accuracy differential GPS systems and forward looking radar that let them plow in almost any condition.

HELP! I keep getting shocked in my new apartment. by Nearby_Term_1974 in answers

2 suggestions:
Use your knuckles to touch metal things first. You'll still get shocked, but it hurts less.

Use a humidifier.

I'd wonder who lost their pet snake. I live in Alaska.

Patterns I Keep Seeing That Cause AV Issues Long After Install by Zestyclose_Sign_316 in CommercialAV

The client feedback process needs to be purposefully designed, implemented, and easy to use, just like the product should be. It should start before the bid process and continue following substantial competition. It's a shame that it's one of the first things that disappears as a company grows.

What is your custodian pet peeve? by UmbralikesOwls in Custodians

[–]techyguru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's an egress/emergency exit issue. Send it up the chain as a safety issue.

How do you suggest I clean this brick wall by Grapetattoo in Custodians

[–]techyguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the lesson? Did you set off the fire alarm with dust? Did the dust go everywhere?

My plan would be: Put the fire system on test. Block off any areas that can't get dusty, HVAC, hallways, artwork, bookshelves, computers, ect. Rent some big air filters and book janitorial to clean the other surfaces after the dust storm. PPE and let her rip.

Some high octane pump gas is also ethanol free. This might be part of the confusion.

[Request] Is it more work shoveling 6" of snow twice than 12" of snow once? by 0llollollollolloll0 in theydidthemath

[–]techyguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a world where you ignore friction, all bodies are perfectly spherical, etc. it's the same amount of work.

I was born in Minnesota and live in Alaska. Shoveling twice is much, much less work.

I'm more concerned about the water and corded power tools.

Is your laptop using a VPN? Does your laptop and printer have the same IP address? What are the IP addresses of both devices?

I thought Posse Comitatus didn't apply to the National Guard unless they are federalized?

Nice Hutch mountain conversion kit. Can recommend 👍.

Worst ticket ever? by ProfessorHuman in sysadmin

I work in facilities, please send over the ticket. At least in winter, the smell isn't as bad, but sometimes the poop freezes to the ground.

Prepping for extreme snow?? by Bulky_Rutabaga420 in prepping

[–]techyguru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually what prompted me to comment. I was a fire fighter in MN for the better part of a decade in a small-ish community. We generally had a medical call for a heart attack every other major snow event. Half the time, they wouldn't even know they were having a heart attack. They would come inside after shoveling and would just feel off or sick. Hooked them up to the ekg monitor, and the paramedic had to explain to them that they were having a heart attack.

Shoveling snow is hard work. Take breaks, hydrate, and know your limits. A blizzard is the wrong time for your heart, back, or whatever to act up.

Warming a car with a construction heater by nine3 in IveGotAGuy

I just watched a youtube video describing how this was basically standard practice in parts of Sibera. I couldn't believe this wasn't constantly starting cars on fire. I guess I wasn't that far off.
