The wood pallets are made off aren't exactly known for their structural integrity. Most of them I have seen are best used as firewood and even then they are a bit poo poo at that.

Especially on their side. They're only designed for vertical strength in the first place. :stare:

The actual EUR pallet(s) will do just fine but seems like most of them are just euro-pallet sized and probably not built up to the standard.

e: I say standard but it's like 30 standards.

The worried "It's looking for a ground!" and then backing away quickly: we're they a lot closer to an arc than you ever want to be?

The power output from a HiPot while still dangerous (current and voltage-wise) it's is pretty limited compared to what's in an arc flash. A properly designed device should intrinsically limit current when a fault occurs. We're talking about maybe several amps jumping a gap versus tens of thousands of amps.

I think a lot of folks get confused byt the distinction between "at will" employment and "right to work"

both of these things are also pretty much designed to royally gently caress you as an employee but i thinkl they are referring more to "at will" employment

Hey you voted for X huh, well you arent working out here... no no these things arent related at all.

While 'Right to Work' laws primarily target unions, in Texas (and many other states I'm to understand) they also roll up a 'Right to Fire Your rear end for any reason'.

At least they tied them to the test hookups (used by technicians to test the system and not in emergencies) vs the actual standpipe system.

It shouldn't. Having lots of rules is what keeps both people and goods safe.

Being from Texas, I just adapted to using it, and I worked at McDonald's, so it was doubly confusing for some of my out of town customers.

Yeah but this is like if people in the UK used the term "Hoover" for vacuum cleaners, brooms, mops, dusters, toilet brushes, and any other cleaning product on a stick.

Wait, aren't those distinct brands as well, even if they've become the generic term for cotton swabs and bandages respectively? Those might not be the best examples to use...
