re: OT Engineers — Paint Thinner Spill — Best Cleanup Method
Posted by beerandt on 5/8/24 at 10:02 am
If it's soaking in spread it out so the stain ends up even.
Then I'd probably just let it evaporate. Unless there's something mixed in it that won't.

re: Anybody know anything about the Blue Mesa Reservoir bridge closure in colorado?

[quote]Mineral creek? Yeah, I've read Id want to avoid that. But there are two easier ways down.[/quote]
Can't speak to the other 2 ways, but I assume Silverton was easiest for 'normal' cars. Since it was a consistent choice based on the vehicle we had.

The worst stretch of the trail between lake city and and Ouray is where it approaches the highway on the Ouray side, fwiw.
Also probably easier to ascend that stretch rather than descend.
I've done different parts of the loop, but not recently. I do remember going Lake City to Silverton instea...
re: Why are there so many inoperable street lights along Louisiana's highways?
Posted by beerandt on 5/6/24 at 6:36 pm
[quote]They are very bright[/quote]
Brightness isn't everything.
The led light is no longer similar to blackbody radiation, meaning it's a set of discrete wavelengths, not a continuous spectrum.
Similarly, It's also often polarized in weird ways instead of a random distribution.

Among other reasons they're often intentionally disconnected at construction sites. Which is basically half the state at any given time.
Also led streetlights suck almost as bad as led headlights....

Talked to one of the crews that worked it- had just left at 230p after being there all day. Said it was about 2/3 burned.
But also said [b]there was a call at the same house last week-[/b] one of the bedrooms (I think) had a fire.
There was a mom and daughter renting it, mom was gone for the ...

I think anyone in that building would call it getting off launch and past the tower a massive success [/quote]
Agreed- I meant to use 'failure' in the technical sense of 'did not separate', not as a subjuctive degree of the test's success. :cheers:...

That makes more sense. It also means "letting it ride" probably did return a good bit of additional/ useful stress/strain readings.
