Ursine Catastrophe posted:I'm confused, where does the shareholder value come in We just need to find a way to generate it, and fortunately there are easy methods to do that. Early this decade there were couple large storms which cut electricity in large area of Finland. As a result electricity market law was changed to include standard reimbursement for outages. 12 to 24 hour outage qualifies the customer for a 10% reimbursement of their annual electricity transfer fee. 24-72h is 25%, 72-120h 50%, and so on up to 200% or 2000€ for outages lasting longer than 288 hours. This gave electricity companies great enthusiasm to start laying more cable underground. I feel this is a good system. It benefits those who suffer from the problem, so it feels fair. It also gives the companies great flexibility on how much they want to invest on their infrastructure, yet it provides a relatively simple ROI calculation. Interestingly, there is a website listing the amount of customers without electricity and map showing in which counties they are. Currently there is a one customer suffering a power outage. Must feel real special being the on house in the country without electricity. Earlier today that company had 620 customers with an outage, so it's an improvement.

That would be nice to do here in murica but the prevailing argument would be. "We can punish corporations or they will cut jobs" aka maybe their executives makes slightly under Extremely Ludicrious Filthy Money. *quickedit* if I recall the American Gov't actually used to do this, like when the railroads were being constructed they gave money with contractual obligations and fairly stiff penalties if they were not met.

shame on an IGA posted:fixed some ticking bombs around the house today. i hate to be that guy but that exposed romex is a ticking bomb. you should have set the box over the hole in the siding with the wire coming in the back and then caulked around the exterior to make it waterproof. its an improvement but mains voltage wires out in free air is dangerous and not up to code. edit: oh i just saw your posts about it in the electrical bullshit thread. nevermind, carry on. i'm glad you're aware of this and intend to fix the rest of it too.

Laying it flat would have prevented the doors from closing, leaving it upright allowed the doors close enough together for the doors to be considered closed by the elevator controller.

I would need to know the capacity of the stand before I deem this safe or unsafe.

That stand got feet right? Does it make a difference if the load is on a structural part other than those meant to take that load?

Structurally it's probably fine, I'd be very worried about slippage though. Besides, you never, ever want to work under a jack anyway.

It is a little interesting that the wheels are still on the ground (I guess we can't actually be sure about the one he's working at, but it LOOKS like it is), looks like he just wanted to stretch the suspension out a bit. But still, everyone knows you're supposed to use a bit of rotted 4x4 post instead of the jack stand there.
