I would say....Yes. Many many years ago I was sent to a site to survey the power equipment and what was salvageable for another production site in the future. It was well known that this site I was going to was closing, its was defintely no secret. When I pulled up their was a Brand new Quad Cab...

I've had a few people PM me asking how things are going ( I appreciate it) and I just figured I would update the thread so anyone who is interested can see. Went and saw another Dr., i was told by him that a Discectomy might work but he was unsure. I told the Dr to go ahead and schedule it since...

I can't really speak for federal buildings, that would be a GSA question. I know at least in the mining world MSHA comes 4 times a year in Underground mines and two times a year on the surface mines. They also have their own approval system for intrinsically safe and "permissible" equipment that...

I think the likelihood of a major malfunction is fairly low but I'm not familiar with that product so its a "measured risk" your taking. In one of my past jobs I would meet with UL on occasion, typically after workplace accidents. It was not unusual for a product to meet a UL standard (Make sure...

We had a fatality at work that day, Coal Mines (many years ago), worker had gotten a trolley line under his neck (300VDC to Ground, 600VDC Line-Line). They called the authorities MSHA, and the state police. Police got there but had to wait on MSHA to clear everything since they do the...

Greatly appreciated if you would. Unfortunately the situation hasn't improved that much to be honest. My left leg gave out going up some steps last week and it took out both of my front teeth. So I'm running around now barely able to talk or eat. Which is to say I'm absolutely miserable .

Went to Walmart earlier, To pick up another heating pad for my aching back (More my hip really but who's counting). The Motor oil isle was pretty spartan, there was some Supertech still available (0w16 and 0w20 were gone though) , Valvoline was gone, Pennzoil was gone, Mobil had a few weights...

As far as I'am aware (and I do not claim to be an expert on this subject). U.S. oil production is falling and has been down from ~Nov. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/weekly-crude-oil-production

I'm an Electrical Engineer (Specializing in power and in mining ) by profession. I was working for a, lets say larger company, but it required constant travel and was told point blank one day, go on a cross country trip or quit or be fired, at the time I had to get my best friend to drive me to...

Late 30's. My Grandfather lived to be into his 90's but had two Aneurysms that had to be repaired when he was in his 40's and 50's, My grandmother also had a aneurysm repair later in life ( I think 50's ? ). As far as my Dads side of the family goes, theirs not much to go on unfortunately, My...

To add a bit of new information to the , seemingly, ongoing saga. Went to another Doctor who suggested, if I had the means, to take a year or so off work and focus pretty much on my health and go from there. I can do that, just not indefinitely (financially). May try to pick up some side work...

After reading everyone's replies here, I think I'm gonna try to do more of my PT exercises and walk more and just try for the best at the moment. I may end up needing to get a career change , just try to find something less stressful on the body at this point. I'll worry about that though when...

Unfortunately you're right. My health care plan is a HMO and its fairly limited. Only a few surgeons are in network.

Depends on the inverter. A really good "Pure sine wave" inverter shouldn't experience the issue, if its well designed. I have seen cheap filter stages on these inverters at my old work hit a resonance point ( "Poles and zeros") that destroyed the connected equipment, but that is a odd ball, only...

You most likely have a non-sinusoidal output on the generator, and its causing the issues. Non-sinusoidal current would cause excessive current flow through the run capacitor, as well as through the start capacitor. The motor its self will also have a counter rotating torque if the output...

Anyone here had Back Surgery? I'm possibly looking at having a discectomy (L5-S1), though based on the MRI the Neurosurgeon said a fusion might be a have to once he got to look at it. Been out of work now for months ( Company Buyout) (Going on 7 months), was hoping that giving my back some R&R...

Amsoil Small Engine oils have levels around that. I use the 10w40 in my OPE.
