redmanfixit Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Navy Corpsman Corpsman of Marines Entropy Remediation Technician (I fix things, buildings, broken stuff, Things out of whack put right!) Optician Yoga Teacher Electrician (Sparky) Own my own business and also have an online store. All of this largely a consequence of both a singular inability to concentrate and an indefensible compulsion to know how things work! Someday, if I can purge myself of an unfortunate appreciation of plastic handguns, I hope to be a supplicant for admission to the Single Stack Elitist Snobs! (If the Deity shoots a handgun it's a 1911 A1!) Single Stack is the ONE TRUE PATH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Miles Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I don't do jack$hit! I retired in 2005 at 57 years of age from Mountain Bell or US West or Qwest Communications or whatever the name of the company was. 32 years! Got tired of the new style managers running the company through fear and intimidation. Now I shoot, watch the grandkids (3 & 1), ride my scooter, flyfish, work in my shop, read or nap. Life is GOOD! Adios, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic_jon Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I work for a internet bill *payment* company and am the resident Geek/translator for Programmers/IT Manager/Trainer. I was a partner in a small PC company for a while but was offered a "nice job" by one of my customers to manage their IT department and took it. When I win the lottery I am going to start a shop that has Guns on one side and PC's on the other... That way when the PC is really ticking you off you can just take it to the range and shoot it!....for a small fee of course... LOL!!! I will make MILLIONS I tell you!

GrumpyOne Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 GrumpyOne> 7 Million amps!!!! Holly COW!!!..... What gauge wire supports these levels of amperage? Why so much amperage? Because it is DC going over long distances? Generally, a 750,000KCMIL cable will carry about 485 amps, so we put alot of them together to carry the current and make up for the voltage drop (DC current has a voltage drop the further you get from the source). A 750,000KCMIL cable is about the same size as a 1 1/4" PVC pie, and weighs in the neighborhood of 3 1/2 lbs per foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
