  1. Yup... CA/CCA really doesn't matter in this situation, that's a measure of how quickly the battery can give you power. Here you're looking for a slow and potentially deep discharge, where amp-hours or watt-minutes determines how much power you can pull out of the thing. If you expect to be using this a lot, go for a deep-discharge marine battery, like what you'd hook up to an electric trolling motor, not a regular starter battery.
  2. I have used 4.5 already and The cycle does not end until the 25th. I only have 6. Ever since I installed the newest system update on my IPhone 6 Plus. It seems to be using a lot more data.

     

    Go through all your settings to make sure things didn't get reset back to default or 'allow background lte'. There's also a nasty little bugger where it'll revert to lte data if the wifi signal is weak just to speed things up.

  3. but where your moustache is it makes you end up looking like you have mange as it does a piss poor job of reaching all areas right under your nose and around your mouth. Any recommendations on that? I ended up using the tripper function and almost scraping trying to get all the hair cut away.

     

    Just takes a bit of practice. If it's a question of going over it fifty times and there's something still not getting trimmed, try pushing the uncooperative area out with your tongue (from the inside!) to make it stand up more.

  4. Been using Braun foil since high school, 'nuff said ;)

     

    About the only thing to keep in mind is that the blades in an electric wear out just like any other, and require occasional replacement. I could probably get about 16-18 months out of them if I pushed, but it's easier to just take advantage of the moms/dads/grads or back-to-school sales and go yearly.

  5. Chris I'm listening if you care to message me any information

     

    Exact same position as mine, but in Pittsburgh: http://careers.expedient.com/apply/31zwWy/Facility-Electrician

     

    The market, in many ways, dictates what we can ask for... it took us four months to find someone for our Dublin office (all the local sparkies have more work+OT than they know what to do with, so only the obviously unqualified dregs were applying), but in Cleveland, we'd have legit applications out the wazoo. The mechanical experience would be handy, especially with HVAC stuff, and throwing the electrical degree on top was basically my qualifications when I was cold-called six years ago about coming in for an interview.

  6. And normally I would agree with you, but the fear mongering and "patriot-gasm"...that followed in the wake of the attacks, and indeed, lives on today...makes me think someone would have done something.

     

    Oh I'm sure the idea was looked at, then written off as being ludicrously expensive even for what had previously been a purely theoretical exercise. Then you get into the aesthetics of the thing... there's a reason fire escapes on downtown apartment buildings are always in the grungy disused alley. Just imagine what it would look like to have an entire side of a landmark high-rise covered by one.

  7. Its crazy to me that we haven't come up with SOMETHING that we can use with some degree of confidence, especially in the last 15 years.

     

    Not crazy to me. Engineer says "We can make this system, it'll cost $$$." Building owner says "That's nice, but the insurance liability for not installing it is only $. Go jack off somewhere else."

  8. I'm just thinking if something like that happened you could bust your office window out and have more of a chance than 0%. Not sure what other way you could get down from 1300ft tower.

    I dunno... it's a really shitty elevation to be at. Too high for any realistic chance of not going *splat*, but not high enough for a parachute or wingsuit to get enough air underneath it to be useful. The only thing I can really think of that would be helpful in that sort of situation is a hang-glider, but they're too big to fit in your typical office cubicle.

  9. I think there should be emergency evacuation programs in place such as parachutes. If something like that were to happen all the people who jumped could have at least had a chance of survival.

     

    I wondered the same thing (though more along the lines of why radio/television techs don't jump when they're dead tired and done working), but the answer is actually quite simple... it takes ~2000ft to fully deploy and bring a person to landing speed. BASE jumpers with modified gear and ejection seats can do it in far less, but those are entirely different beasts.

  10. Asking $100ish, includes everything seen, along with a bunch of extra filter cartridges, various adjustment chemicals, air pump, and probably some other stuff in the cabinet. The only things really missing are a hood-lamp (the ballast died a couple months ago) and fish. As long as you don't fill it with tap water, no water cycling should be needed when you set it up.
  11. On a side note, if you have the panel space and enough amps going to your house, have you considered tankless?

     

    Is electric tankless even worth considering, given how expensive electricity is compared to gas? (Assuming, of course, Sully's got gas service)

  12. Grabbed a 20oz on my way to CLE last weekend since I missed it the first time around. Nothing really special about it... didn't taste nearly as Pepsi-like as I expected, but it wasn't a 7-Up or Sprite clone, either. A general 'Meh' all around.
