As big as it is, my pool of money is finite and there are approximately ten billion things I'd rather do with an additional $24000/yr than pay for cell service. You are literally the type of people who would go bankrupt like MC Hammer in 5 years if you ever won the lottery. Like I said, this is why you people will never, ever have any wealth.
If you died tomorrow what happens to your wealth? -

Originally posted by infinityshock it could be feeding a fire pump…communications system…emergency machinery…emergency lighting…who knows, but I still don't get the copper outer jacket.
From what I have seen it is only being used as the feeders for certain panels on the upper floors... but all the lights / loads tied into these panels are regular wire pulled through regular EMT. -

Originally posted by infinityshock I'll have to google it some time. copper is soft, a copper jacket is exponentially more expensive than just using a cable/wire, conducts heat (ie…the copper jacket is going to act like a heating element) and, i don't see why wire of that capacity needs fire protection in the first place unless that powers an emergency-related load.
We did pull it in for emergency purposes. I think it's over kill, the whole electrical room could be burning but these cables are supposed to survive...
I'll try to remember the specific name of this cable. -

Originally posted by A College Professor that looks super cool, so the jacket is your ground conductor and the cable pictured probably used as three phases and a neutral? man I bet the connectors for that are expensive.
probably the most interesting cable I have worked with was high voltage ( want to say around 2000v insulation ) direct burial cable for oil well pumps. had an oval cross section shape and a pretty thick lead jacket spiral wrapped. individual conductors were solid and tinned, roughly 10awg and had REALLY fat insulation that was something pretty fancy , looked and felt similar to ptfe or teflon. can't find a picture of it shoulda saved a scrap chunk
Correct, 3 phase with a neutral.
I've only worked with high voltage cable once, we had to pull a couple kilometer long runs of it for a train yard. There was a special procedure for splicing it, these rubber "boots" would cover each splice. -

Originally posted by infinityshock holy fuck…thats huge gauge.
what's the point of the copper jacket vs the normal metal?
I don't really know I just install the stuff. The copper armor doubles as the bond/ground. Also unlike the regular armor you see on tec cable or bx, which is like tightly coiled spring, this stuff is a solid copper tube. It's rated for something like 2-3 hours in direct flame. The white stuff on the inside apparently crystallizes to protect the conductors. -

Canada has it's own electrical code. -

Originally posted by A College Professor Hah that would be interesting for sure to build a growhouse. MC cable for power&lights at the old folk home?
Yeah in certain areas we ran that cable that has solid copper armor on the outside and thick silicon inside that apparently crystallizes in a fire. It doesn't have a very good bend radius and the insulation is very delicate, like a soft rubber. -

Originally posted by A College Professor Cool man, what type of electrical work? Commercial construction? Service work?
Most of my experience is with commercial construction. Currently working on the 3rd phase of an old folks home, the other phases are already occupied. One cool job my company has right now is a legal grow-op that's being built for use after Canada legalizes pot. -

No it actually works really well. If the girl likes you it confuses her because it could mean different things. You stay in a relaxed position of potential while she worries about what you mean and whether or not she made the right choice.
You over think all of this. -

2018-02-09 at 11:54 PM UTC in Malice: Should I buy this bong?Thanks malice. After quickly looking over both sites, this was the most similar bong I could find:
http://www.popularglass.com/42cm-tall-roor-glass-water-smoking-pipe-three-honeycomb-discs-perc-glass-bongs-joint-size-188mm-p-253.html
However the price is in American dollars, and I think this is a Chinese based website, so the exchange rate and duties paid on shipping the product to Canada are something to be considered, as well as a much longer delivery time. Didn't yours take a month?
So I dunno. I think I prefer the design of the bong from the Canadian site more, it would also arrive much faster and I don't need to worry about the exchange rate or duties. What do you think is the better deal?
Which do you think is the better bong? -
