this is a recreation, because at the time it happened my cell phone did not have a camera.

we requested several modem lines for a customer, they were only supposed to run the lines to the demark, and we would run them to where they were needed.

they were to been installed in a rj11 punch
down block not the wall.

the QWEST (now century link) contractor who came out decided to install them in the wall. which look like pic related.

I don't remember the exact number (maybe 12). when we complained to QWEST they sent out a female supervisor who looked at it and said she didn't see anything wrong.

my boss immediately called and her manager came out, took one look and said "we'll take care of it" he then took her outside and had a "talk".

To be fair, this one was the council trolling someone. They'd built a driveway in front of their house, using the "dropped curb" to get onto the driveway.

Anon, a lawsuit (which would definitely turn into a class-action) would cost several times more than the $10,000 CAD it cost to actually build the stairs. Total cost would've been even lower if they didn't have to demo the autists original ones too

I put some 100x100mm posts in as footings for a structure I'm building.
It's treated for in-ground use (called "H4" here) and has about 150-300mm of concrete at the foot and is surrounded on the sides by concrete and also "mounded" at the top to discourage water falling into it.
Am I going to make it bros or is that shit going to rot within the span of a few years?

Here are the stumps. From memory, they're about 1/2 in the ground with around 150-300mm of concrete below the foot and concreted all up around the sides with a slight mound on top (to try to encourage water to flow "around" as opposed to in).

Thanks, this is handy to know. I don't know if we have copper napthanate specifically here (or at least, at a decent concentration), but will look into it.
Fortunately, if the stumps ever start rotting, I should be able to gradually replace them. Next structure I do will be a lot smaller, so less elevated and I'll probably just use metal styrups.

How many prefixes for length are there in metric again? Last I remember it was 20 but THEY KEEP ADDING MORE every few years. They slipped in 4 more back in 2022 for some reason.

Oh, and only the first 3 above and below the base unit are nice multiples of 10. After that it is multiples of 1,000. The bigger ones were first added in 1873 but sure, I bet we'll start using megameters and micrometers any day now.

Then they added fucking 16 more prefixes after that. The only one of those I have ever heard of anyone using was nanometer. That is 0.000000001 meters, in case you were wondering. Why stop there? Lets make a prefix for 0.000000000000000000000000000001 meters! Fucking drunk bastards.

I'll give you a cookie if you can tell me what that prefix is without looking it up. Shit, I'll give you a cookie if you can tell me what the 6 original prefixes were without looking them up. Hint, no one fucking cares because 6 prefixes was already too many.

TL;DR Metric would be fine if they stopped fucking with it but we let the FRENCH be in charge of it and they can't leave well enough alone.

This is implying that SAE had any consideration of interoperability.

I work for a control panel company and one day my boss got a call from a client in Kentucky. He said "Oh fuck something caught fire" and dipped from the shop for 2 hours. All of us in the shop were terrified that we'd fucked up a panel because all our stuff is rated for hazardous areas and if a single spark escapes the entire plant is probably going to become a crater. When my boss came back he told us a retarded worker in the plant had walked into an extraction room with an electric flyswatter and SHOVED IT IN A TANK OF ETHANOL. The plant no longer exists. It was not our fault. We have not had to remake all the panels used in their plant, so I think the company closed down.

But they're all retarded measurements for something. Maybe we should say the standard unit of measurement should be tied to the acceleration of gravity.

So like x^5/ss = g. This is like .3m but I bet if we convert our entire world to this arbitrary designation it will be useful for architects and engineers doing work designing walls and structures that need to push up against gravity.

It's defined based on natural numbers that don't change and that you don't need to know to use day to day, only if you want to reproduce it reliably without using the king's cock. Which murricans do, the inch is based on metric.
But to the people day to day the main difference is that metric is always base ten, always has preffixed names that explain the measure and imperial is arbitrary and retarded.
Also, you can't talk about inches in a gallon but i can talk centimeters to a liter because it's all concise and there are times when it makes sense to do so.
If i want to build a box that hold an arbitrary weight of water i know that a 1m by 1m box will have 10kg of water for each cm of height for example. If you try to do anything like it in imperial you'll need a lot of effort and maybe a new unit based on the length of a royal horse's lower intestine.

>> No.2657036

>>2657020
You don't though. You use a meter. If youre a meterology expert the meter is a hundred trillion billion vibrations of a cesium atom. This is all ic9ng to cover up a completely bullshit approximation the French pulled out of their ass.

The meter isn't special because it's defined by a universally reproducible constant, be it light or cesium atoms. That was post hoc. The foot is defined by the very same cesium atom because as you pointed out, the foot was pegged to the meter in the 1970s.

The meter is actually some French map maker bullshit and was just as inaccurate as the foot (being some special bar of metal in Paris) for almost it's entire life
