You pay a consultant to take liability. Sure, you could do this in house, but wouldn’t you rather have someone outside of the organization use their liability insurance?

I think the former, based on my limited knowledge of the water treatment industry. There aren’t many manufacturers of low margin commodity chemicals, most people are in specialty chemicals with higher margins.

I prefer moon rocks, they’re a little meatier

Then Timmy fucking died

Maybe too reddit-ish?

There are some applications that require normalizing an axis by the measured variable, usually just to make something linear. Not sure what the reason here would be.

Yes. Without hemoglobin or myoglobin, flesh looks very dull. That’s why packaged meat is treated with carbon monoxide, keeps it looking red.

I’m a chemical engineer who landed in environmental remediation. I’m trying to get into design engineering, but it’s been slow.

Feels like something Pratchett’s DEATH would do, just to piss off the auditors

First or second from the left. Both would be more fun.

Armok is pleased when it chaffes and draws blood.

One of my colleagues has something along the lines of superior autobiographical recall. He remembers in great detail major and minor events from childhood to today. It’s difficult for him to forget.

I myself have forgotten long stretches of my life, and even looking at pictures of myself from those times it feels unfamiliar.

There are some things that I wish I could remember better, but overall I prefer my forgetful brain to his never forget brain.

I haven’t used telescoping fiberglass, but I’m planning to build a PVC mast with schedule 80. 1/2" fits inside 1" fits inside 1 1/2" fits inside 2". Couplers and reduces to assemble it into a pole, guy wires and a base with sand bags to keep it vertical. Using two sets of 10’ sticks would give you 80’ height.

You could also look at the Buddipole which claims to work 40 m - 2 m with different coils.

One $15 hooker bot, or fifteen $1 hooker bots?

I don’t have any frame of reference for how much acid costs

I think it’s a tongue in cheek comment

How the turn tables…

The only laws I respect are gravity and conservation of momentum, and even those are debatable

Reminds me a bit of the Wee Free Men from Pratchett.
