MH covers are round so that they can be replaced without having to align them with the frame.

Suddenly that UCB sketch about the guy getting interviewed at the family restaurant and getting asked about how he'd get a tray of ice makes way more sense.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:the real answer is that you only need a round cap for a round pipe Only if you're retrofitting. If you're installing a new one you can buy a rectangular collar if the local regs allow. I love how much this question is rarking me up because I've got so much experience in opening the drat things. I'm imagining spending the entire interview enumerating more and more reasons round covers are superior and becoming more and more abrasive "Actually, manholes come in many shapes and even round ones are usually 1050 or 1600mm in diameter. The only important consideration in the shape of the lid and collar is that the throat supports it and has rungs close enough to put one's feet on. Didn't think of that, did we? Haven't spent much time in construction, have you Sergei? Perhaps you should have studied less flute and hung around drainlayers some more, eh Larry?" Then Brin tries to hit me in the face and I knock him out with a manhole key and run Larry through with a utility spear.

New coworker is doing alright but having trouble getting through to them to please use the desktop computer with two monitors instead of their tiny underpowered laptop when in the office, and that they should have the same set up when working from home. I'm not trying to get them to up their widget output it's just a basic sanity preserving option that our MegaCorp has no problem paying for. Like watching someone complain it takes forever to water their lawn with the thimble they are filling up in their kitchen as they step over a hose.

Then watch as you can freely drop it through the square opening. Something below the opening might catch it. That "something" might be a person.

zombienietzsche posted:ACAB especially includes park rangers A buddy was doing that for a while and the ACAB part wasn't his fault, the state implemented a strict parking pass rule so a big chunk of his workday went from trail maintenance and helping visitors (including saving a guy with the defib machine) to roaming the parking lots giving out tickets to unhappy families. That, combined with the job paying near poverty wages led to a career change.

I've got a couple friends who are/were park Rangers and my impression is that the good ones tend to really not like the law enforcement side of it. One of em is the head LEO for a national park and is the least cop person I know, and doesn't like the cop part of it. Another one changed careers because the cop part sucked so much. I work on public lands a lot (National Park, wildlife refuges) and know both Rangers (gun, badge, kevlar) and rangers (park visitor resources, can write minor tickets, tell you to put the cooler in the car). Some of em suck, like staking out in the woods in quiet campgrounds trying to bust people for smoking a bowl around a campfire, snooping around vehicles and looking in windows to see what they can find in consoles to bust you for, or unlawfully going through your tent (yes this happened to a terrified college student technician). Others will take their uniform off at the end of the day and come sit in camp and drink beer with me. Last year a little r ranger gave my field crew a bunch of self important poo poo for taking the nicest campsite in the campground and was shortly thereafter disciplined by the Ranger on my behalf and relocated to another park entirely I think. I've never known a wildlife cop who wasn't a cop first and actually yeah just a cop with green jeans. Cops with scenery.

The jobs are usually seasonal, but you can find them on USAJobs.gov. I don’t know what the preferred/required qualifications are, and naturally the positions at cool parks are more competitive. But I think if you have outdoor experience, willingness to live on site, and work for pretty low pay the chances of getting a gig are not terrible. One of my ranger friends is a river ranger, and he gets to raft through a big western river with lots of whitewater for 10 day shifts all summer talking to private and commercially guided raft trips. He does rescues and checks cooler temperatures and tells dummies to put life jackets on the kids and such. He had to demonstrate a lot of years of backcountry work and whitewater experience to get that one. Another dude I met was a diversity hire, a black guy from a city, first time living in a wilderness area. He worked mainly campgrounds and vehicle-accessible locations just because of less backcountry experience and within a season got promoted up to more interesting wilderness stuff. The ranger at one of my spots last year was a retired astronaut.

My interactions with CO's (conservation officers) have been pretty good. But my interactions with cops have also been pretty good. It's probably just a coincidence that I'm a white guy.

You should fail the PB&J on purpose with style. "To make a PB&J you must first have a big bang. Then allow the universal material to condense to atoms. Begin stellar synthesis..." Is it the wrong answer because you willfully misinterpreted the scope of the question and are missing the sense of scale to keep responses brief and relevant? Yes. Will they be tired of hearing the big bang response as a joke? Yes. Will they change their questions up to get something unique? Never. Will you get the job? Do you really want it? Samuel L. Hacksaw posted:How does one become a little r ranger? I want to hang out in parks and camp till I die and write people tickets for not cleaning up their sites. Alternately be rich and buy yourself a camp host volunteer position.

my boss does this cool thing where when he has something for me to look at, usually a document is what im talking about here, he'll making a rumbly motor sound even though he is just walking but in the sound it sounds like a car and he'll rumble walk up to my desk and, get ready, go PAST it a pace or two. He then stops while making a screeching brake sound with his mouth and then a clunky sound which he told me later is him shifting to reverse. He backs up a pace and drops off the document. Then, as if nothing happened, he walks away soundlessly (soundless regarding the car sounds, he wears very puffy Osiris shoes that are pretty noisy with how he walks)

Were those all national parks? My friend was a state park ranger and the low pay plus "new hires get sent to least desirable spots" meant that his co-rangers weren't always the best and brightest. One straight up stole a big fridge from their break room to give to a friend who owned a bar. He skipped the whole cover your tracks step so it was only a mystery for a few minutes until their supervisor checked who had access to the breakroom in that time frame and started with the dumbest guy and he cracked immediately. I guess his plan was to hope they didn't notice?
