The expanded lore is actually kind of relieving because it makes me think that this is most likely just a troll. Anyone who is actually that self absorbed wouldn’t keep posting this long and taking the flack.

Husband could be a tulpa.

That still requires a turbine to turn the steam into electricity. If turbines are the shortage then nuclear doesn’t solve the shortage.

40 jars of pickles and a camping stove?

One fear.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD DRIVE!

What? Do you have any idea how liquid nitrogen actually works? No matter how well insulated the storage is, it is still constantly picking up ambient heat which means you need to keep supplying it with liquid nitrogen as it boils off to disapate said heat. Any big facility is going to make their own liquid nitrogen onsite because of the quantities they require. Making liquid nitrogen requires a lot of electricity. Liquid nitrogen is also expensive to store a lot of because it has no liquid state at ambient temp. That means you need refrigerated and pressurized dewars which basically nobody does, or you just fill up big insulated dewars with no active cooling and let the nitrogen perpetually boil.

If one of those facilities loses electricity then it stops making liquid nitrogen and the liquid nitrogen level in the storage tanks will begin to drop. Because of the costs associated with storing large quantities of liquid nitrogen they aren’t going to store enough to last a prolonged outage. When I worked in an electronics plant our bulk tank of liquid nitrogen got filled weekly by a tanker truck and we didn’t even use a fraction of the liquid nitrogen that one of these cryo facilities uses.

And that’s not even talking about that fact that long term cryo preservation of large creatures like humans is complete bunk.

Ey gril, can I get a peak at them glands?

~I prefer adrenal by thyroid also works in a pinch.~

But wheres the sigma radiation?

We still use them all the time in HVAC-R for refrigerant piping. Flare fittings are one of the best and easiest ways to have a reliably leak free but still easily removable connection.

Weirdly I’ve never stripped out an allen fastener, I’ve only ever rounded my allen wrenches. Maybe I need to buy better allen wrenches.

But yeah, square and torqs are the shit.

And both can instantly burn you depending on the degree of heat or cold.

The doors still stay locked when you stop. At least for mine the doors don’t unlock again until you put it park. They just lock when you start moving because the vehicle moving is a good indication that you don’t need the doors unlocked anymore.

Typically in a US house it should be safe. Just assuming it is actually safe on the other hand is profoundly unsafe.

The only way to install unverified apps will be via developer mode and if you turn that on a bunch of apps refuse to run until you turn it back off.

Wait, when did this become a thing? I’ve had developer mode turned on on my phone for ages without any issues.

I was actually tier 3 support. I just also happened to be the sole support for one specific area which meant even low level tickets from there got automatically directed to me.

Earlier hyperbole aside, I honestly fuckin love my job now. If I didn’t rely on having an income, I would still be doing this for free. But working a desk job drove me nuts. I’m sure it’s great for a lot of people but I just can’t do it.

The trades can attract fairly diverse people because you don’t have to fit into an office. Generally you’re just given your work and you’re expected to do it. Welders especially can easily be specialized enough that they can’t really be micromanaged.

As a current tradesman who is regularly burned, electrocuted, and cut on the job while rolling around in filthy crawl spaces, dragging 100 lb of gear up a ladder onto scorching rooftops, or freezing inside walk in deep freezers… working an IT desk job was way worse.

I would sooner stick my tongue in a 480V panel than have to go back to answering “printer don’t work” tickets.

My dad over the years has adopted several strays as his garrage cats. Basically he just leaves cat food out while he’s working and ocasionally random cats swing by for a snack. Eventually some of those cats get comfortable around him and learn that if they come when he calls them in at night then they get the good wet food and get to sleep in the climate controlled garrage.

What I’m saying is that sprocket is 100% cheating on you with a random mechanic and has also become someones garrage cat.

If microbes are the concern then A UV system is going to be a whole lot cheaper in the long run. The UV bulbs in those are usually rated for 1 year of continuous use and if you only run it when there is a boil warning then it’ll last much longer than that. It looks like one of those will run you right about $100 which pays for itself pretty quick when compared to the cost of the more expensive filters.
