Gatorade is also a great fuel source of carbs for intense games/workouts. Especially for players not riding the bench the NFL. I think that’s the main usage really. I’m curious why the benefits wouldn’t be necessary and why the electrolyte balance isn’t ideal

Could be a mandrel for clearing conduits. Any other electrical tooling in the box might confirm

Maybe these deer are a little bit more prone to humans or whatever but here’s a clip of a guy that successfully sedated his deer to trim antlers. I have a feeling human interaction or no interaction, a dart would cause the same effects as you described. Possible, yes. Prevalent, I doubt it.

Get a hole saw with the windows on the sides, tie on a piece of jet-line to the coax with a knot not a hitch, tie the jet-line to go up the middle between the drill bit and through the windows. Not like you need to use the full saw depth. Better yet, drill a hole into the top of the hole saw just off center and do a double knot. Then you don’t have to worry about tangling other than your saw teeth potentially catching the jet line.

If you’re gonna stack hole saws so it doesn’t get wobbly on you on start, it’s the same principle.

Funding and budgets is one in regard to success. All, and I mean all, world class projects with tradesmen require PPE. Hardhats and cut level 5 gloves being the minimum. More money to be charged to the clients equals more wages for the employees.

Additionally, any successful construction company with a good legal team requires a solid safety program. Successful companies have them because paying fines to regulatory agencies/medical bills/additional insurance costs/disability simply for not enforcing OSHA compliance is bound to fail. Not to mention, with enough incidents and recordables, you can’t even bid on the majority of projects.

I can see your reasoning with the knives but let’s equate it to laws requiring seatbelts in cars. Airbags…The emergency fuel stop button at a gas station. Plenty of dumb things happen because of incompetence. It’s inevitable. Meat cutting factories require those mesh gloves for those cutting by hand. Same with some butchers. Protecting your staff isn’t a bad thing. It’s great on more than one front and benefits both employee and employer.

It’s unethical to let everybody win a Darwin Award. Higher minds prevail in this situation in regard to safety for everyone and its enforcement than allowing bad things to happen because individuals are PO’d about a safety mechanism/protection.

I hate PPE req.’s as much as the next guy but it’s really a reflection of company success. Wouldn’t work for any company that didn’t have these. Cut resistant sleeves are kind of wild though

Construction/Project Management. I say this in regard to what a craftsman or somebody looking from the outside-in would imagine.

I’ve spent an unimaginable amount of unpaid hours in order to turn projects profitable. Our industry these days often leaves projects only partially engineered upon project start. Creating a lot of work in the field needing to be figured out on an already formed budget that was thrown out in order to have the job awarded. Endless meetings pinching your tongue to not let certain details slip and to cover yours and the company’s ass (feels a lot like a congressional hearing each time I’m on a teams call covering for estimator errors or scope changes).

The money is great but there are a lot of days I yearn for my past of being a simple field hand.

It often times comes down to frost depth for basements. Homes in the south generally have a higher frost depth whereas in the Midwest ,and any further North, the frost depth is lower where builders have to dig lower anyway (might as well make use of the additional cost). Not to mention, higher water tables down south necessitate sumps and the sheer weight of waterlogged clay is underestimated in this statement. All concrete cracks. Rebar/fiber just helps hold it together.

The cons simply outweigh the pros here.

Surpassing average for sure.😍😍

It’s a dirt dob from a hole fill when bull floating probably. Cream was floated on top unknowingly more than likely. No way you pour that thin of a slab and finish/brush it.

Shadow_Monst3r

All these comments knocking the pour, vibration, and slab thickness..None are reflective here. As an ex finisher, I can guarantee that the finisher threw some of the mud that poured over the form to fill in a hole when bull floating. That mud they picked probably had a sizable amount of dirt in the bottom unseen and plopped it in and then finished over with a layer of cream creating a void.

Tell the company and they’ll either fill it with portland and brush over it or cut out the panel and re-pour. This does not affect your structural integrity. However, not a quality final product irrespectively

The cut on a run restricted as such by the pipe limits your ability to “gain” any extra length if that makes sense. You can create slack one way or the other by box position by raising or lowering said box but you’ll immediately lose length on the other side of the wire splice. Could pull new wires on the shortest run.

Splicing with means of filling said void with a power distribution block or terminal strip/polaris could gain you the additional inches of space of the block dimensions but it is marginal. At this point you create a potential point of failure and service loops at the splice would be desirable. Just hardly ever want to have wires tight in my opinion without maneuverability on terms/splices like this one.

Shadow_Monst3r

Cheapest option is probably to splice in a 6X6 waterproof j-box by a qualified electrician. Clarify court/lawyer costs in your contracts moving forward so you can start collecting back on repairs with move in/out inspections and start filing. Judge would prevail you all day on this at no cost to you at the end of the day.

Shadow_Monst3r

Would need to be re-pulled to get enough slack to terminate, ideally. Might be able to pull some slack from ,hopefully, existing service loops in the panel potentially.

Design issue not a social issue. Walkways perpendicular to parking stalls should realistically have wheel stops installed and striping extended. It is 100% safer to reverse park than to forward park and more people are doing so. Even cars opposed to trucks will extend a foot or more into the walkway with stops when reverse parked depending on make.

Ball/Grind Mill armature and cover. Inside of the cover will have a considerable amount of copper windings as part of a DC motor armature.

If you don’t have an immediate reference object like a straight wall or beam to measure both Y and X, your best bet is a laser or hell even a chalk line coming off of Y. Set back “South” of Y per the diagram and make 2 marks on the slab by a few feet referencing another object. Usually there’s some type of reference object you can use. I’ve never found a situation where I truly needed a laser

A lot of companies are expecting higher costs this year. My company had one of our biggest contract agreements ,that was signed off in August , go through revision because the client is cutting costs. That same client , who puts out one of the biggest revenues of natural resources to come out of the state (and into the US GDP), is focusing on closing for the next 5-10 years, despite its efforts to avoid it. They export so I think tariff scares may be part of the cause.

Sounds like there is an issue with bonding and yes a neutral potentially shared. That makes sense. Could be that there might have been too much demand on the neutral and there’s now bonding issue at the homerun terms. I.e corrosion/oxidization/arcing.

I’d start by checking continuities for N-G starting at the panel bars after checking for voltage (don’t want voltage running through your meter in ohms if possible. Shouldn’t be a huge issue if it’s a decent meter but not ideal) If it’s got dual neutral bars, check the bonding on both. One of them is potentially bad and could be causing the difference on the other circuits if neutrals are shared to the bar but aren’t shared down home runs.

They could work that profit in an international market. If they’ve covered upfront costs via renting, any monies accrued during vehicles sell off is pure profit. Upfront costs/maintenance would be factored into rental rates and they’d stretch that out til they met those costs.

Factor in written in stone contracts and make renters liable for possible damages down to scratches and hidden fees. They’re big enough to strike a deal with manufacturers to get wholesale pricing but turnaround and sell vehicles at a market rate for a solid cash flow. Quantity is still key here though to compound profit and get past the significant initial capital investment. Which only gets easier when you become an IPO with investors. Couldn’t do it as a mom and pop shop for sure on those business development plans but it’s Hertz

Shadow_Monst3r

The time the vehicles spend as rentals probably covers overhead/operating costs & initial investment costs while they make their profit on selling them used later. A lot of larger companies make their money on the back end in craftier ways than what’s presented to consumers

I know some industrial electricians that do this. There’s probably a few industrial trades you could do this with. Industrial plants usually have planned shutdowns for major repairs. This usually includes per diem and ,at minimum, 72 hour weeks. Know a guy that would work one or two shutdowns and take his earnings back to El Salvador to kick back for half the year then do it all over again
