The idea is they prevent contaminants from flowing from your sprinkler heads or just water in the lines of the system back into the main which could in theory happen if the main depressures. On a pool if a pump could be lined up to put pressure (shouldn't be built that way these days but I've seen it on some older designs) on your water supply it could actually be needed.

Shouldn't have to be done.

If it is than management at the site level isn't doing their job OR corporate isn't making funds available for site management to do their job. Operators should never have to own risk or be a hero.
So with 10% OT on top of the 112K that would bring an operator up to roughly 127,500. At 30% OT that op would be at 160k. At 50% OT (or 3,000 hours / yr) that op would be approaching 188k/yr.

That's a long, long ways from 250k+ some are throwing out in this thread.

For 1 to 3 year engineers that's correct for a fully certified operator. After 5 years that is incorrect. Past 5 years the engineers $/hr actually worked takes off.

If the operator wants to brag about he made as much as a 10 year engineer, but he worked 2400 to 2600 hours on the year and the engineer worked 2000 to 2200 hours congrats I guess?
Monroe doctrine being reinforced. Get to cozy with China and other US adversaries and get unpleasant visits from the US navy.
Because it’s being a petty little biatch.

Russia will never agree to a treaty short of fully controlling Ukraine. Historically the Russians dont fill safe until they control all the way to Moldova/Romania.

The O-Line situation is a travesty. The lack of physicality is an embarrassment.

Obviously go to the American cemetery. I was there at noon, and they played "How Great Thou Art" with church bells. Everyone stopped and soaked in the moment. The Utah Beach Museum is good, as is the museum at the American cemetery. The Caen Memorial is worth seeing. Pointe du Hoc is right on Omaha Beach, and you can see the German positions. The Airborne Museum is another good one but not near the beach. Lots to see.


All of this is great. Also see the harbor at arromanches.

They throw the ball past the 3rd down marker.
