HOO'S HEAD GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND?

chitoryu12 posted:

I was about to as my circuit took me near her, but she just got up and wordlessly walked off.

In general she seemed very confused about how the circuit even worked. There's signs all over the area explaining how the circuit is done and reminding people not to just use the machines however and whenever they want (because it messes with anyone actually performing the routine), but she just kept slowly making her way backwards. I thought she had it when she moved back over to the leg press because it's the first machine, but nope. She just sat there for 5 minutes and then walked away.

She may have been high, I dunno. Didn't talk to anybody and didn't acknowledge anybody except for creepy staring.

Was this at a Curves gym? Because you get walked through every machine on your first time so how the gently caress did she not know how to work it?

Planet Fitness. They have a Biggest Loser-sponsored 30 minute workout section near the entrance. It's 10 machines and 10 step boxes, all numbered 1 through 20. You alternate between a step box and a machine, working out for 1 minute and then resting and setting up your machine for 30 seconds before starting again. The idea is to exercise pretty much every muscle group within half an hour with minimal resting; they only recommend it 2 or 3 times a week with a day of rest in between, which is luckily my exact workout schedule so I do it every time I come.

They don't give instructions when you first sign up for the membership or if you're a guest, but the machines do have written instructions and diagrams right next to the seat at eye level.

If you walk me through a dozen unfamiliar machines in quick succession, I'm probably not going to recall the details of all of them when I come back days later. Maybe she shares my crippling disability.

At Curves you do each machine for one minute with a minute break in between on a normal circuit, and it's doubled on your first go. You also have someone there to help you if you get stuck on the incredibly easy to figure out machines.

Do you also strap exercise machine handles to your head and bounce around like so many of the people videoed?

There was a brief but powerful storm that raged through, temporarily flooding both streets to my apartment. Fortunately, nothing of ours got flooded or anything.

The nearby in-construction subdivision isn't so lucky. Evidently for some reason the construction crews covered every stormdrain for some reason (to avoid stuff falling in?), so now the entire thing is a 3 foot lake.

It's because the 'flood control' laws/codes do not allow any debris from a construction site to get into the storm drain system, so the construction companies are required to submit a plan that includes preventing any mud/dirt/run-off from the under-construction property from getting into the storm drain system. These plans always include blocking access to the storm drains, and in most places they are tightly enforced by the county (or municipality or whoever is responsible for flood control stuff) and come with really large fines.

No idea. I wasn't involved in flood control, but was curious enough to find out why they did all the straw & black cloth barriers, and closed off all the storm drains. I got completely out of construction about 6 years ago after everything crashed.

These plans always include blocking access to the storm drains, and in most places they are tightly enforced by the county (or municipality or whoever is responsible for flood control stuff) and come with really large fines.

I actually work for a county conservation district in PA, where these plans are approved. It's not "flood control", but "erosion and sedimentation". I've never seen one that actually calls for blocking off all the storm drains, nor any requirement to do so. You put filter socks, silt fence, rock filters, or other BMPs in place around the drains, and additional BMPs around the actual area of disturbance. And if it's a new development all those storm drains should go to some kind of sedimentation basin, potentially with baffles, skimmers, etc. to filter the sediment that does get in the drains.

Of course, the E&S techs are understaffed so a lot of sites squeak by and/or don't follow their plans. So I could see some contractor freaking out and plugging the drains because they don't know how stormwater works.

Disclaimer: I am not an E&S tech myself. I work in a different program, but closely with them. Also, the laws, regs, and BMPs vary state to state.

You probably know more about it than I do, but I know that here it falls under 'flood control', and is policed by the Flood Control District which is a County organization. There are probably other rules/inspectors at the city level in addition. There is also County Dust Control, since that's usually a larger problem than flooding here (Phoenix area).

Huh, I did a little bit of googling and in AZ, looks like your Flood Control Districts are equivalent to Conservation Districts out here, but have a slightly different focus given regional issues. Looks like you have "stormwater pollution prevention plans", which is...kinda like an E&S plan.

This is interesting and helpful, thanks! It was really scary trying to use the under-development subdivision to try and get to my apartment, thankfully realizing early enough that the water there was way deeper than it looked and I couldn't use it to get to my apartment.

Nothing like a random flood (from five inches in an hour) to remind you where the low points really are, and not where you thought they were.
