Ish Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 The other nautical oddity that fascinates me is “Point Nemo,” which lies in the South Pacific Ocean at 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W, approximately 1,451 nautical miles from land of any kind, making it the most geographically inaccessible place on earth... So, if you ever need to build your James Bond Villain style undersea lair, that’s the spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I've started "the grand chessboard," and there is a lot that feels quite dated. I'm wondering if Z addrssed that prior to his passing. Rather, I'm really interested in reading his more recent writings to see how he viewed the changes happening in Russia in the past 20 years.

InfestedKerrigan Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 My mom's Tuxedo likes being played with rough, preferring males over females. A friend showed me "cat-apulting" one time. Kneeled in the hallway with a pillow on his lap. Slapped the pillow, and a cat came running from the livingroom, jumping onto the pillow. Friend folds pillow, like a cat taco, and snaps the pillow open, sending the cat flying down the hallway. It lands, twitches it's tail. Buddy slaps the pillow, and the cat comes running back. So, I tried similar with mom's tux. I toss her 10 or so feet onto couch, or bed, something soft (she's not good at being a cat). Then tap my side, and she runs back. She enjoys 2-4 tosses, before she says no more (pins herself to ground with claws, while purring). She's getting old. She'll be passing on before too many more years come along. Makes me cry, when I think about it too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Working on a sub-zero room for a client. Originally, we were discussing -30°, they wanted to go colder. I have learned how to go to -155°. Color me impressed, and excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 On a basic level, the same parts are used in a central air conditioning unit, as a walk in fridge at mcds, as the cold room at costco, as the beer cave at shell, as the drive in freezer at safeways auburn DC, as the plasma freezer, as the cryogenic freezers. It's just how you are using the parts, and what the capabilities of the refrigerant and other components are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I’d imagine that, with proper insulation and people being good about keeping the door closed, the power needed to keep it cold isn’t nearly as bad as the power used to get it cold in the first place... and if you bring the temperature down gradually enough, it’s that probably not so bad either. This is just speculation on my part, I have no actual idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only possible to go in during the twice-daily defrost cycle, when it came up to something like -20 ambient. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Absolutely, ish. Entropy, and similar come into play, but how much heat is being re-introduced into the room (by "heat loss" through the walls, heat gain from product being loaded, or air exchange from the door being open) effects how often the condenser has to cycle on, and for how long. Same with the pull down, that is, how long is it okay to take to get BACK to holding temp. The more it cycles on, the higher the operating cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
