Memento posted:I think some people are talking about using shallow geothermal to heat their houses, which isn't really an issue in the vast majority of the country. It doesn't get cold enough here to justify it. Yeah the other use of geothermal heating/cooling is to describe an in ground heat exchanger loop attached to a residential heat pump instead of an above ground. It's much more efficient than the open air systems for heating and cooling, but have a greater initial cost.

Why don't they just drive the thing? Is it a ground pressure issue?

Maybe they have to clear some obstacles near ground level, like the kerbs on a bridge.

Probably also far less expensive in fuel too, the C175-20 V-20 on the similar Cat 797F chugs around 58 gallons per hour and has 1000 gallons of fuel tankage. The engine can get up to 220 gallons per hour at full load and it displaces 105.8 liters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E0T3YAch_E

In the documentary Journey to the Safest Place on Earth, they make the case the best place to store nuclear waste for 10,000+ years is the Australian outback, because it's both incredibly remote, and the most geologically stable and flat place on earth.

I had a dream last night I was cave diving in a really confined space I was stuck in and then I kicked up some dirt and couldn't see and then panicked and drowned. Be safe cave diving in real life and in dreams, friendos. This has been OSHA nightmare theater with your friend Doctor Possum.

It is rare to witness an engine going into labour, all that is missing is sir David Attenborough's narration.

"Literally crawl into train engine cylinders" is what he told me he did for a living back in the 80's. He's like 5' and small enough to crawl into those cylinders like the dumbass in the linked video. MisterOblivious fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Sep 15, 2018 |

I forget if it came up in a thread here or real life or where but there is a midget welder contracting agency where you can rent a midget to do your hard welds in small places.
