I MPI test all my bolts and barrels myself. Have been for years. Even ran my BCG's and barrels through a cryogenic process for the hell of it.

Heyyyyo
Didn't see the SpaceX launch today because it was foggy as heck, but I could hear it from almost 30 miles away. That was neat.
Also, they were this close -> | | to successfully landing on the barge under really bad conditions!
So abort/crash?Quote:

Read the comments on the right and understand how incredibly difficult this objective is.
Not quite! No abort. Not exactly a crash... :)Quote:

HoneyBadger, how did you feel about The Martian? Just watched it today.
SCOTT! What is your take on tankless water heaters? I'm not serious enough to start a thread about it, just want to know your opinion on them. Could I realistically replace my 50 gallon water heater with a tankless? In a ranch with no basement and no utility room, it'd really save a lot of space and clean up the laundry room. Do they tend to have catastrophic failures like regular water heaters?
Yes, absolutely. I wish I were smart enough to do space stuff, but I realized early on that I wasn't so never even looked to pursue.Quote:

I do have a tankless water heater though. It functions just fine. I kind of miss having a 50gal tank of water in my basement though.
I will say, the insulation standards in CA are total sh*t. The water lines are not insulated and the attic is so terribly insulated that the cold water is always lukewarm and the hot water is too due to the amount of time it takes for the water to get from the heater to the faucet.

You told me. A S/Steel bbl was not something you were interested in. I've been running CL, CM, and S/Steel for decades. Neither of them have any less reliability than the other. If you buy a seconds or some no name unit, sure there's a chance. Name brand, OK.Quote:

I was going with the Nickel Boron BCG and SS barrel for a little more rigidity/wear and tear. The info about how high the pressures are, and knowing what I was going to do with the rifle, I figured I should get a better barrel and good bcg.

Well, friday evening my wife picks me up from work, we are on the way home and while stopped at an intersection we were rear ended. Slam! I pull over to right out of traffic and the guy that hit us gets out of his utility van and say "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, its all my fault. Is anybody hurt?" He too is on his way home and driving his ChemTech company truck. We exchange info and since it seems no one is injured we go home and I call my insurance company and report the accident and by then my wife is in pain and my neck and shoulder are starting to hurt, the insurance lady tells us to go to the ER and get checked out.
Three hours later and x rays and examination we are told that there are no fractures but we have suffered strained muscles and we may have some pain for a couple of days. As of today my neck and shoulder are still tender but my wife is still in pretty bad shape. I will call the other driver's work place and get their insurance info (I have the name of their insurance but not the number) and see what they will do in this instance.
Anyone have any other advice on how to proceed so as to protect myself and make sure vehicle repairs and medical are taken care of? Any personal injury lawyers here that can offer advice?
I've been asking lots of that type of question about this place... Most of the answers have been CA law or local code related. The water line answer is actually easily understandable, once you put on your CA licensed thinking cap: there isn't a basement.Quote:

Irving - I like tankless water heaters. Our water temperature is cold here in Colorado, so I would not recommend anything less than 199,xxx btu. If you go smaller than that the rate of flow to the faucets and etc could be limited. They are very expensive when done correctly(proper gas line size, venting, isolation valves etc) and require yearly maintenance. The flushing of the heat exchanger is easy if the tank was properly installed and can be done by the home owner. The last tankless I sold I charged $4200. This made sense to him because his house was built with high efficiency equipment and couldn't go with a minimum efficiency tank(he had plastic pvc venting not metal). So the high efficiency ranked water heater was around $2600 and would last probably 8-10 years, the tankless was $4200 and should last 20.
As far as catastrophic failure, I've never seen one do any damage like a tank water heater when they go.
What's the average monthly cost per Kw hr? versus a standard electric hot water heater? We've compared initial price to buy versus cost to operate over our gas hot water heater. The initial investment didn't save us over the long run.
I'm not sure. But electric is more expensive to operate than gas.
Remember they burn gas to make electricity...
What are the venting requirements? I've been told you need a 6" vent and it needs to be run at a 45 degree angle. Is this correct?
For Rheem tankless I use a two pipe system, 3"centratherm. Centratherm is a much safer venting material than pvc. Centratherm will not break down over time, won't leak, and is much more dependable than pvc. Polypropylene pipe.
OldFogey, minimum 3" and max pipe length limited to a number specified by vendor. Bends count against length. Stepping up to 4" pipe increases length.
Just went through this and would need 4" piprs based on where my heater is. Went conventional at that point.
4" for a high efficiency or tankless water heater, or a standard efficiency tank?Quote:

Trinidad... lol. I need to update my location. I'm in Mormon land now. I didn't like getting frowned at in Trinidad for saying "see you later dude" and the chick looks at me funny, or "thank you miss" and the guy gives me a bad look. I had to move. It was too much. lolQuote:
