  1. Only the sites worth going to. Fucking arrogant Dutch think every site must have a dot nl
  2. This is dropzone.com not dropzone.com.uk So here are some examples of proper grammar and how it should be here on dz.com: center, not centre standardize, not standardise color, not colour while, not whilst Maybe with some programming, they could correct your posts automatically before they are posted so you don't keep making these silly mistakes.
  3. Where do you work? What do you do there? At my plant we had an electrician that did not have enough common sense to know the difference between a 4160 breaker and a 480 breaker. He shut off the 4160 breaker one day which feeds the caster. When the caster looses power it becomes an unsafe situation real fast. He was eventually talked into quitting about 3 months later. I'm glad for you that nothing happened. You always have to double check orders because sometimes the people you work for don't know what they are doing and you could take the blame.
  4. What translation program are you using now? or are you getting good with all of our "bad" language?
  5. Well you do only have a half of a picture of you.
  6. I can see this. "What? I'm not drunk".
  7. It sounds like she needs a guy there to cook for her.
  8. Conrail locomotives pull out in front of oncoming Amtrak train. Amtrak train was doing 120 MPH when the Conrail units pulled out. Amtrak engineer manages to slow down to 108 MPH before impact. Amtrak engineer had 30 about seconds to think about the rest of his life. A total of 16 were killed. Conrail engineer was under the influence of marijuana and possibly watching a football game. A witness said a television was thrown into the river from one of the Conrail units. Divers searched the river, but never did find the TV.
  9. You have to drain it first.
  10. I always made mac and cheese without milk. Just boil the noodles and put in the powder. We are talking Kraft mac and cheese right?
  11. That song makes me think of what happened at Chase, Md. on Jan 4, 1987.
  12. that just made me giggle so hard, the whole office must think i'm insane.. thats a bit mean, isnt it!? You just walked..........I mean limped right into that one. ok, stop it.. i mean, rest on your crutches now! i feel really bad about being so mean, i mean, really mean, i mean it.. You know, I slightly believe in karma and I think it is on our side in this case.

  14. So do you think this thread has enough left in it to fly it to Cuba? Or should it get ditched in the ocean?
  15. Ja, ich auch. First, the "soccer mom" comments. Then, "poor me" stuff. Then, hijacking O's thread.
  16. I was jumping a few weeks ago when it was 43°C (110°F). It sometimes gets hotter than that. So, does your table go that high?
  17. "What goes around, comes around" http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3651339;#3651339 i see you have in mind what i had.. I'm glad to see somebody doing it.

  19. nope. metal detectors usually work via magnetism. titanium (in fact, most metals that don't contain iron) is only very, very weakly magnetic. therefore, no beeping. Titanium like other non-ferrous metals are not ferromagnetic. So normally, a magnet will not be attracted to them. But, if you induce an electric current through them, they will have a magnetic field. Metal detectors, induce an electric current in metals through the use of induction. When the metals have a current flowing through them, they will have a magnetic field surrounding them and then they can be detected. Metal detectors are tuned to ignore metal objects with a small cross section so that they don't alarm on small pieces of metal.

    I did not mean to be cold. I just thought it would be a good way for a non-skydiving boss to keep a skydiver employee from calling in "sick".

    Rather than chasing him down when he does not show up to work, they should put up some posters of their own. Here are some poster ideas that may keep him at the office: Nasty malfunctions Photo of an ambulance X-ray image of bones with plates and screws
  22. I was under the impression that the emeron 66kv was just for your Aux and the furnace was fed from a 220kv from the north. I'm not a distribution guy, strictly generation. Right now, we have 2x 66kV circuits feeding us. 1 is from the same 220/66 bank at Etiwanda that Grapeland is also on. That feeds everything here but the furnace. The other 66 kV feeder we have comes from a dedicated 280 MVA 220/66 bank at Etiwanda. That one feeds Ameron sub which feeds the furnace. Both of our 66kV lines run just east of Grapeland. Even though the line for the furnace is its only load, it is not enough. They need to run parallel conductors on the 66 line and install 2x 150 MVA transformers for the 66/34.5 to get the SC capacity up. Right now we have about 400-500 MVA short circuit available. We need about a 1500 MVA SC rating. I want to see if I can break the coupling on your generator
  23. Well, Hi neighbor! I sure wish you guys built Grapeland about 20 feet farther west. Befroe the economy fell apart we were getting ready to sign the contract to build a new substation. We need another 66kV circuit and needed the room for the R/W. We can still get it in, but it will take a lot of outages for them to install the 3rd circuit. The new sub would have 2x 66-34.5kV 150 MVA banks. This is just to feed the furnace. We are trying to get the short circuit capacity up. It would also have 2x 28 MVA banks for our 12kV auxiliary feeders. With our furnace the way it melts, you get scrap caving in on the electrodes all the time, causing large voltage drops of about 30%. You should see what happens when the SCE operations people screw up and leave the breakers closed in the wrong configuration. The furnace will dim the lights in all of Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana . But it also causes havoc inside the plant tripping out auxiliary systems.
