I remember seeing a documentary once about building in the arctic, they needed special steel for the buildings to take the cold. The narrator claimed the steel used down here would be too brittle at -50 and the buildings would collapse.

Interesting, most hydraulic systems run anytime the engine is running and create heat. Idling must not create enough heat in the units you are working with. There are heat exchangers designed for just such a purpose however space is likely an issue. The coolant lines through the reservoir is a...

Then you just don't shut it off. Ever. if you do then tow it into a shop. That's why a lot of Caterpillar engines are designed to check the oil while the engine is running.

I think this is a little dated because Lee Jae-myung is SK's president and by everything I have seen he is very pro-China. It does not take long to find allegations of Chinese election interference on his behalf. A post from December by Lei's Real Talk outlining China's influence in South...

"If it looks, sounds and tastes too good to be true - It is!" With Chinese influence in SK growing and a pro-China president recently elected SK subs are highly likely to be a Trojan horse for China into NATO. SK is offering so much to get this deal it looks suspicious.

Personally I throw those Allen keys out and use my own. Most often they are soft steel and strip easily. I don't want them to accidently get into my regular stock.

I am a Heavy truck mechanic and I have considered joining the reserves because I like military equipment and I would enjoy working on it. Then I looked at the reserve pay scale and its a long way down until I see daily pay that comes close to what I could make at a shop around here. I am a...

Is there any chance we will get sealift capacity out of this new spending plan? Would it count toward NATO spending to partner with a cargo operator to fund a couple ships to be called up on short notice to provide sealift? I know the Oilers are supposed to handle some of the sealift but...

At the time I was working with a welding inspector who was teaching classes at Holland College. He claimed there was a lot of buzz around it. Holland college was planning more welding courses and there was hope the East Isle shipyard would get module work like it did before. Irving still owned...

When the NSS was first announced there was talk of Irving using the Georgetown PEI yard to make subassemblies. Apparently the province bought the yard, I'm not sure if they did anything with it.

If you attack a sub or ship in a choke point do you not then make that point unnavigable?

All I can picture when I see GM LUV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_LUV

I was worried about that when i saw they had emissions on them. The load handling systems should be programmable at any dealer for that system. If I remember right they are Palfinger's. We used FRF hydraulics in Cambridge for anything Palfinger related. They were great to deal with. Whoever has...

I switched to Moosehead because Keith's sold out to Anheuser-Busch. They came out with a case to get you through Trump's whole 4 year term https://mooseheadbeershop.ca/products/the-presidential-pack

I have been Listening to "The Frontiersman" by Allan W. Eckert. It Follows a frontiersman as he moves west from Virginia into the wild and untamed Ohio and Kentucky area. Warning, it has a lot of graphic violence in it.

We should not judge others till we have walked a mile in their shoes. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think anyone here has walked an inch in their shoes. Many of you have seen combat, and awful shit. However you did so as part of a country that is relatively safe. Backed up by the U.S. and...

Keeping the language ambiguous so they can charge anyone they feel like?

I guess with all the talk of Canada being in hot water at NATO I thought I had heard we were at risk of being kicked out. My Apologies.

Do you think maybe Trudeau wants Canada out of NATO so Canada doesn't get drug into a seemingly inevitable WW3 with Russia? He seems so focused on Climate that a world war would just get in the way of his saving the world by carbon taxing us to death. I don't have any clue what's involved in...
