Unless I cool WAY the fuck down between now and getting to my keyboard at home, you lounge folks are going to get an EPIC rant.

Oh, I seem to have misread what @Weng said. I thought he was going to be ranting about lounge folks and was close to quitting this bitch of a forum.

Is this another one of those cases where you pretend make up your own meaning for words to troll people again?
Because what was described wasn't fraud. But I would expect such chicanery from the kind of person who can't pronounce "dagger" correctly.

I have a beef with posts consisting primarily of animal sounds. Like the one quoted above.
Got it? Good.
I'm curious under what metric you think that post consisted "primarily" of animal sounds.

They may be the bee's knees for companies for all I care - but deliveries to private persons by UPS are useless. You can't even tell them: "Just leave it at the old lady downstairs!"
One nice thing about apartment living is that they will leave packages at the office, except under certain circumstances.

So you were lying over the weekend[1] when you ranted about how you wished you'd get laid off because you hated your job so much?
Quelle surprise.
[1] or last week, or the weekend, whatever, I CBA to look it up.

Since she's been dead almost since before you were born, bridge troll, that has long since ceased to offend me. Maybe you can borrow Raymond Chen's time machine and go back to when I was ten, and insult a little kid. That seems like it might be in your wheelhouse.
-

But there was absolutely nothing whatsoever from preventing fraud from occurring in that situation. So, assuming Polygeekery is telling the truth, it's not fraud.

how does he pronounce it?

how does he pronounce it?
I don't have the symbols necessary (E_ENCODING_NOT_FOUND), but I imagine it should be pronounced "day-gir"

Got it, you're crazy

I've detoured to the communal picobrewery to get obliterated from the source.

It should be a short a, but he pronounces it with a long one, like @Tsaukpaetra says. I've noticed a few other words like that none of which I CBA to try to remember.

You don't have an expansion tank on that water heater.

Ah, ok. I actually did not get that from that post, which is why I wondered today when you said you loved the job.

I'm trying to decode what this actually is. The footage is obviously stolen from all over, including some sources after the 1980 supposed date of this. The music's stolen form the action bits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Probably just some amateur video editor trying to go for a "Turkish Star Wars" vibe?
-
Huh. So it doesn't.
Never noticed because I don't have one at home (I'm on a well and therefore have a friggin' huge well head pressure tank anyway - too much pressure is the LEAST of my worries). I'll have to point it out next time I'm pointing out all the shit he needs to fix.
And that's the part of that room you comment on? Not the obscene quantities of beer, server cabinet, telecom rack hanging out on the floor, bizarre mix of sitting room/laundry room/quasi-industrial furnishings, sex swing/keg hoist or headcrab? Do you watch HGTV for funsies?

This is embarrassing, I only know what two of the things in this list are.
WTF is an expansion tank, and should I be concerned @blakeyrat considers it important that it's missing?
-
-
a tank something expands in.
Oh good, I was worried it was going to be something wildly different than the name implied, possibly relating to various carnal acts or something. Engine is getting pretty desperate I guess...
-
Piece of plumbing that keeps the expansion and contraction of water caused by the hot water heater from fatiguing the rest of your plumbing. It's not essential for functionality, just longevity so it's usually skipped in modern high volume development construction like the house pictured.
-

I wager you're still in violation of code.
And that's the part of that room you comment on?
You may recall I recently had a water heater replaced, and during that process I made an argument that it didn't need an expansion tank because the radiant heating boiler already had one, and he pointed out that the radiant heating system is a completely isolated "water circuit" which is true and so I ended up having to pay for another expansion tank and it made me sad.

No.
It's kind of a running joke around here that whenever someone posts a picture of X, I always comment on something else. Maybe you've noticed it.

I don't watch TV at all.

WTF is an expansion tank,
It's basically a metal tank with a rubber bladder in it. The theory is that as water is heated, it expands (ok, that's not theory, but anyway) and when it expands it puts pressure on your pipe-work and could maybe possibly slightly possible in some alternative universe cause a leak or damage?
The reality is: it's a code thing. So if you ever have a professional do plumbing, they have to add one. And charge you $$$ for it.

I don't know where the fuck you live, but here it's code.
-

Negative. The construction of a well pressure tank is identical to a water heater expansion tank, just bigger. Pressurized air bladder in a tank of water.
-
I don't know where the fuck you live, but here it's code.
That shit is in bumfuck pennsyltucky, I'm not sure they have code.
-
Well ok but is it hooked up before or after the water heater joins the circuit?
The expansion tank is for heated water. Well water is cold. You have to install the expansion tank on the hot side.
-
[Quote]It is most commonly installed using a “T” at the cold inlet to the water heater. But, functionally, it can be installed anywhere on the cold inlet line.[/quote]

Fuck it I removed too much. Fuck you mobile discourse

You are probably a bad person for using that many &&, among other reasons.
-
It saves a filesystem snapshot after each step, so I benefit from making each step as long as possible.
-
Nonsense. You'd get more snapshots if you did less work in each step. HOW COULD YOU NOT WANT MOAR SNAPSHOTS?
-
Well shit. But it's also installed past the 1-way flow valve, so he was also still right about me needing two of them.

The theory is that as water is heated, it expands (ok, that's not theory, but anyway) and when it expands it puts pressure on your pipe-work and could maybe possibly slightly possible in some alternative universe cause a leak or damage?
That's about it. You do not want a water leak in some hard-to-reach place triggered by the heater pressurising a water circuit excessively, especially if it resupplies automatically from the cold water supply. I've seen that happen to a family friend (though in his case it was a slightly different cause) and it damaged almost his entire house with all the water seepage; it didn't help that he was away on vacation at the time it broke.

Is that why the english keep the plumbing on the outside of their houses where they are easier to repair?

Usually that's just waste water or stuff off the roof.
