OK, serious question here from a somewhat Chemistry literate keyboard jockey... why is it "glacial"? Are there acetic acid glaciers on this planet somewhere that produce this stuff?

It's a dated way of referring to the stuff, basically.

RandomPauI posted:An oldie but goodie. Whatever happened to that whole setup? They got the real backup generator setup installed by the same electrician who did that poo poo. Basically the big generator we had to provide backup power to one suite was dead, and that suite housed most of our networks equipment. They decided to pull up a mobile generator to the warehouse door nearest that suite, and tied in the other generator. So if network suite went out, they wanted me to disconnect it from the main breaker, turn on the generator, apply power. It works fine IN THEORY but I wasn't about to be the dude who backfed 30kw or whatever to Nevada Power, nor be the skeleton fused to that panel.

Twist And Pout! posted:wanna work in the corn silo office I always thought it would be cool to make a house or office on top of those huge concrete silos.  This is an abandoned concrete silo a couple of hours from where I live. You can obviously build on top of them, I'm surprised more people don't.

Gorilla Salad posted:I always thought it would be cool to make a house or office on top of those huge concrete silos. Presumably there are considerations and precautions you have to take when you do this kind of conversion that increase the cost, so that scream of a deal on an abandoned industrial facility might not be that much of a good deal once you start paying for things like power, water, and sewage hook-ups and proper weather-sealing. But it's certainly possible.
