I have an idea! Some of our systems hold 6,000 pounds of gas. We just did an ammonia conversion for the plant that holds a little under 10,000 pounds to eliminate R22. But we have several stand alone systems that are non ammonia.

I live in Florida and today I saw an idiot drive around the railroad arms. It’s hard to defend Floridians anymore and I understand the stereotype.

Some truth right there. My illustrious career as a teenage lot attendant was close to ending when I almost rolled an Explorer 30 years ago
I believe it. I live across the street from a gal who sells BMWs and Mercedes and she says half the people who buy one really can't afford it.
I clean up train wrecks daily.
I valet parked cars one summer in OC, MD. At least 75% of the crew was high on something while at work in the evenings and trying to locate the cars they parked in the five-story garage was always an adventure. You lost your job if you wrecked a customer’s car......at the end of the summer, I was the only one left of the original crew.
I’ve never valeted anything I’ve ever owned.

RTT Reapers?
Their money, their problem. Make yours and carry on. If they’re happy then I wouldn’t give it a second thought
I’m a Firefighter Paramedic in Tampa. The amount of shit I have seen/experienced on calls is absolutely mind blowing. I don’t even know where to start.

I started out as a brick layer. Then I worked on copiers from tabletop to production printers. Then x-ray film processors. Then medical xray machines, and now robotic medical xray machines.
Medical xray machines: the last bit of modern electrical/electronics that utilizes a vacuum tube. Horrible efficiency: only about 1% of the 100K Watts pumped into an xray tube actually is converted into medically-useful image-producing xray. The rest is soft xray filtered out before it can even leave the tube, and heat. Truckloads of heat.

May have something to do with Florida. Id bet you could write several books, I know i'd read them
Don't work any more, just golf. Hope golf stories are okay.
About half the guys in the course I play invested in Bre-X, a fraudulent mining company that went to zero. Most made over a million dollars with one guy making over 100 million.
Sounds like a lot, but remember these are Canadian dollars.

I spent years in college learning calculus/differentials and all that fun stuff for a program to do 95% of the calculations in my field of Land Development (Civil Engineer)
Of course you need to make sure the inputs/values are correct.
And do some calculations yourself to verify that the program took the data correctly (stormwater runoff or retaining walls for example).
The most hand calculations I've done since I've graduated was when I was studying/took the P.E.
It's more about making sound judgments and ethics than math and equations now. Especially with how far along certain programs have come along over the years.

When I was younger I would really question it...but then the people that I didn't think should buy a car, went and bought elsewhere. So they ended up with what they wanted and I didn't make any money.
Now I try my best to give some advice, but if they don't want it, no big deal.
I remember bre x. I know one guy basically list his pension in that.
Didn't the founder "fall" out of a helicopter?
When I was younger I worked at a seafood restaurant. The restaurant served customers perch, a cheaper fish, when the customer ordered grouper or snapper. At that same restaurant I saw a cook spit in a customer’s food that was brought back.

If someone wants to really walk off a cliff, they'll do it. You can talk them out of that cliff, but they'll just find another. Happens in everything
