First thought: clear epoxy it all

I blame lean philosophy. Keeping spare parts and redundancy is expensive so definitely don't do it...which is just rolling the dice until it comes up snake eyes and your plant shuts down.

It's the "save 5% yearly and stop trying to avoid a daily 5% chance of disaster"

Over prepared is silly, but so is under prepared.

They were under prepared.

Geez... Project managers are forbidden from making work estimates- they only get to collect them.

They don't get to argue estimates either. They can ask questions to gain understanding but the estimates are the estimates.

Wearing an architect or chief engineer hat is sometimes more fun because you get to call bullshit on dumb estimates like "4 to 5 weeks to model a table with 7 fields, with 2 of them being PK, FK" like GTFO we can model it in the next 5 minutes if I talk slowly.

Well, not really. They only mentioned compressive strength, so other important qualities and measures could be worse in unacceptable ways.

Or maybe it's great. https://www.concretecentre.com/Specification/Innovative-concrete/Charcoal-Concrete.aspx

I truly believe it is plausible because I worked somewhere that tried crap like that frequently.

Someone posted a scathing review on Glassdoor and one of the owners responded by threatening to kill himself if they didn't take the post down. Not, like in an email, no as a post. And gave his name and phone number.

The janitor my elementary got in trouble for being observed roller skating on the the roof of our gymnasium. Rumor started that they'll fire him and every student promised violence if they did. Like, sure, maybe he should that but also otherwise he's beloved so feel free to test your assumptions on the student response.

I'm sorry, but *fútbol. La gente de España hablan español

No caffeine or stimulants after noon. A considerable percentage shouldn't have it after 10 am frankly.

Try this: 1 week of no caffeine and no chocolate At least 20 minutes of exercise - can be split upper day Finish eating dinner and snacks by 7pm No gaming or stimulating entertainment 30-60 minutes before bed. Manage noise, light and other triggers.

Smart watches or similar are good for watching your sleep quality.

The best prep is knowledge and understanding because that isn't so easy to take away.

Storing purified water is nice. Knowing how to purify water is better.

Having fish vs. Knowing how to get fish.

Next step? Thriving>surviving. Truly understand that thriving takes a village. People skills matter. If every other human is the enemy then you are clearly outnumbered.

Allman all the way baybeeee

Most people think it is an all or nothing thing, including some doctors.

My immune system is apparently very good against noroviruses or whatever was giving my family the "all exits no waiting" treatment. A doctor argued that I must not have come in contact with the virus since I had no symptoms aside from feeling icky for a couple of hours. I was bothered that they had such a bad grasp on how viral infections work and I don't consider myself an expert by any stretch. Even after I told them I had been having to clean up my toddler and infant messes, do diapers, bathe them etc. I had come in contact with saliva vomit poo pee breath etc- of course I came in contact with it.

I had the virus, I just didn't have the disease/nasty symptoms. Maybe I had built immunity, maybe I had been able to build immunity quickly, maybe insufficient viral critical mass for rapid onset- who knows?

Sure, but everyone needs to be reminded that Trump wants to make it exponentially worse

Whoa whoa whoa no e of that fancy new age Roman hippie crap.

It's XXVIIII per c, LVII per c, XIIII per c None of that SuBtRaCt stuff thpppppt

Crazy fact: when someone bought a car from you second-hand, they didn’t have to register with the car maker and have an account…

Ever see how much real estate companies like Google has? If all those bay area companies said fuckit let's be remote it would crash the market and rock the economy.

We should though, if possible.

He was holding a handgun when they found him and he probably didn't drop it or waved it at them. I agree with you in principle.

Not anymore.Age.

When I was a kid I hated going to the city art museum because all the humidity and temperature control devices emitted this awful high frequency noise that made me nauseated.

I can't hear the "mosquito" pitch noise emitters used to deter teenage loitering in some cities anymore. I kept that longer than I thought I would.

He's been bought and or has serious leverage on him in some other way.
