You think it's a problem when "Atlas Shrugged"? Wait until you see what happens when Einstein does.
P.S: You know that little machine in your hand that lets you punch out all those 140-character embarrassments all the time? Yeah, we made that.
It's a UK site. Haven't checked recently, but the exchange rate post Brexit was pretty favorable.
May we remind our fellow organisms that science isn't pick and choose a la carte, the whole thing is connected. It's also continually revised and tested, unlike some other things we could mention…
Fucking physics screwed ol' Biff again, in the form of a frozen/burst pipe. I got to the desert compound yesterday afternoon, and all was well. About a half hour later, I heard my well pump kick on, which, unless there's an open spigot or broken pipe, doesn't happen. It was, of course, the worst option. Of course. Lucky for me, this time it was all above ground. Ironic, since I spent two days a couple of months ago repairing the main that feeds this stand pipe, which supplies water to my RV.
Not bad, really. I invested in about $11 worth of bits and pieces. Once it thawed out this morning, I fixed it. Giving the glue a few more minutes to set before testing it, should be good as new.
| PEX rocks. | It can freeze solid – full of ice – thaw, and not break a pinhole and install is a dream. The brass snap in fittings are real pricy, though and I'm not sure they're not the Weak Link.
I plumbed the house with PEX, even the gas line. The guy running the compactor ran over the gas line. I was a bit worried, since it was a 4 ton piece of iron, but it was unfazed. I heartily recommend it. This is a standpipe and it needs to be kinda rigid, so PVC it shall remain. And it only has to survive until I sell the place. I'm on my way to get a bunch of insulation, then I can get back to other repairs necessary for the sale…
Is it true that most desert compounds are made up of desert elements?
All of them, I think, necessarily.
Also, after today, I think I have run completely out of fucks for this place. Gonna talk to a realtor next week about selling as-is.
Anyone who has worked with macroscopic quantities of liquid |sulfur trioxide| in the lab will take those memories to their grave(some sooner than others). It won't react with bone-dry stainless steel, but it will turn virgin teflon black, among other insane reactions. SO3 also has a phase diagram you would think was created by one sick fuck. Be sure to check the wiki page for the phrase "alpha explosion".

Fuck science.

Sulfur trioxide and gallium will also expand on freezing, but you don't see pipes with those in them very often.
That's just what those Aliens in Area 51 want you to think.
