Reply to comment by DoctorSeis in Researchers Show Optical Fiber Communication Cables Can Warn Against Earthquakes by HeinieKaboobler
did you read it? it pretty much said that it did, but what would i know? i just know about fiber optic networks. not using them to detect earthquakes, that's what these folks do. they say they can do it though, so i believe them. you do you.

they monitor the lines constantly. they can detect changes in quality of service. that's how they detect them. the equipment is already in place doing what it's supposed to do, they just interpreted the data differently and used it for something else. it's pretty cool actually.

it's way more sophisticated than that. otdr's can measure the length of the cable and show where the anomalies are. pretty precise measurements of hundreds of km's. never heard of using it for this though, just for cable verification.

must be a stock picture. either that or they have different definitions of words like skulls and mummies. those are skulls, not mummies.

Reply to Do I need to replace my deck joists? by RobotKevinSpacey
they look good to me, but i'd beat on them to see if the wood is soft. if it is it needs replaced, but you may be able to just scab a 2x4 on the side near the top.

it's not so much that it kills the pain but more that it allows you to ignore the pain a lot easier. makes it bearable.

Reply to comment by ajwhelton in Cheap sewer pipe repairs can push toxic fumes into homes and schools – here's how to lower the risk by ajwhelton
not sure what kind of study you are referring to, i will read it tonight, but plumbers don't test new pipes with water in the p trap. they have to plug the ends and leave the air sitting for a period of time to measure the loss. that's why i hate reading studies that purport to address things i am very familiar with when they do it wrong. thanx for the info without a paywall.

i was hoping you had something to show me i was wrong. usually that's how it's done when correcting folks. i make the statement, and it's right unless you can show me it's wrong. if it worked as you said, then everybody is always right. hell, even my college professors knew that. i was right and argued with them unless they could show me i was wrong. it happened a lot, and i learned a lot. most important thing i learned was not to change my position unless proven wrong, then accept the error, learn from it, and move on. i'm not concerned with your ideas, unless you can prove them. i have my own ideas, no room for any of yours. facts are always welcome. have a great day.

so you say. without proof, i'm right. i'll gladly agree that i am mistaken if you have a link. i'd actually like to know, but not nearly enough that i'll go look for it. have to be at work soon.

sounds like unnecessary work to me. when they test the pipes they put air in and leave it. when they are used, the p traps have water in them, preventing any gas from entering the house. otherwise, they don't work and you get sewer gas inside, and that is fairly noticeable. after the original air that was used for testing is replace, the harmful gasses are gone, usually way before anyone moves in. it's a non-issue.

maybe not, but the magnetic record found in core samples can tell us. from what i've read on the subject, they do know that wandering happens both immediately before and after the shift. last time i checked i think it said it happened in the span of a century or two.

having a general idea of how much wheat it takes to make a loaf of bread and how much bread i eat in a year tells me this is not possible given the size of most cities and the fact we eat more than just bread. it could supplement our diets, but never sustain us.

i didn't say it was or wasn't, i said if op was using a drywall anchor there something else was gonna happen. i don't know if they'll work, i use the correct things whenever i can. op also said tapcons were hard to come by down there. yeah, i read them all.

did you read the other comment? must've missed the part where it said "pls correct me if I'm wrong"...
also, if op is using a drywall anchor in brick, something else is gonna happen regardless of the tolerances.

close, but not quite. it's literally hive mind, where the term originated.

high enough for someone to try to eliminate the bees. what stakes does roundup have in the game?

you need to go read about how fiber optic cables work. i can't believe at this point you aren't trolling. you asked and answered the same question twice. that was a whole lot of words to talk yourself into the answer and then discard it. have a great day.
