True and I forgot about the fact that the new sim uses satellite data (a couple of years old, I think), so KCGX wouldn't be there. Hopefully, ORBX will do it justice as they have for existing sims. I have the X-Plane and Aerofly FS2 versions. They did a spectacular job! The only thing missing...

Like others, I had several failed download attempts before finally getting it installed. I pre-ordered the Premium-Deluxe version from the MS store and the download nightmare was one of the worse experiences I've ever had! That said, the sim is highly impressive! Visually, aircraft sounds as...

Thanks. He made it and is home recovering. Unfortunately two other guys I know from the NYC metro area (both in their 50's) did not. Yeah I agree, wearing a mask depends on the circumstances. When I go for walks or ride my bike early in the morning or late at night, when the sidewalks are...

Poor fella. I hate to hear that kind of ****! I'm glad we never relied solely on a supervisor's "assurance". :rolleyes: I'm not sure why he didn't hotstick the line before working on it or if he had proper PPE. At the very least.... I realize that's not practical in a situation like this...

When I started my career at EWR, over thirty years ago, the old-timers told me a horror story of an electrician who was working in a manhole, repairing an airfield lighting circuit and was electrocuted! If I remember correctly, they said it happened in the 60's or 70's. There was a mix up...

Treat it like it's hot! Don't know why that reminded me of a song I heard... "drop it like it's hot" LOL 7200V :eek:

Before we did maintenance or cleaning on transformers and other switchgear, we used to make our high-tension switcher (our supervisor) touch the equipment that he grounded, just to be sure. :D I don't have any experience with home emergency generators (basic principal is the same), but the...

Ok, got it.

Ok, but I thought the "news worthy" item was the pandemic itself and all of the unknowns about this virus, how easily it spreads and the high death toll (globally) as a result of Covid-19. Not necessarily the ventilator usage stats. If I'm reading you correctly, it appears that your post was an...

Interesting article, I'm just not sure what your point is and how it relates to this "Global pandemic". and..Yes I know the difference between epidemic and pandemic. I added "global" for effect;)

Can't pull the wool over your wife's eyes when it comes to this stuff, LOL:D On another note.. My former coworker (I mentioned him a few weeks ago) came off of the ventilator and is home now! I checked on him yesterday and he said he's glad to be home. He told me that he thought he was a goner.

Freakin idiots on both sides of the crosswalk:rolleyes:

I read through the forum posts a couple of times. Very interesting details about the project. Although not a project I'd likely ever undertake, I am curious about what the approximate cost was. Any idea? I Could't find anything.

.....LOL

A few months ago, a friend of mine texted me (including pics) that she was just in a car accident and she was ok. I asked her what happened and she said.. "I couldn't stop in time and slammed into the back of another car". After a few more text exchanges, it came out that she was driving in...

Haha you brought back memories of my mom. She got her driver's license when I was around 10 years old (dad couldn't drive). She would take her shoes off while driving. I thought that was the weirdest thing, because I'd never seen anyone do that before and to this day, still don't.

LOL

and each line or phase leg is a half cycle (time) apart on the sine wave. Reaching peak voltage at a different time in each cycle, at 60hz (in the US). I've seen this confuse people into thinking that makes it a two-phase circuit. However, It's still single phase as we all know.

One of them actually called it "herd mentality" a couple of weeks ago. I HERD it with my own two ears LOL:D I think that was the same day he was up there touting his... "natural ability to understand these medical terms", or something along those lines. "People are really surprised I understand...

Wow! That's cool. Makes it even more special. Funny how I hadn't noticed your avatar until now. Congrats. That's me in the lead Mustang....in my past life :D
