AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around ideas for a TV program focused on explosive demonstrations, particularly related to the oil and gas industry. Suggestions include blowing up a Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) tanker at sea to study the effects of the blast, which could influence future safety regulations for LNG transport. There is also interest in the possibility of conducting simulations rather than actual explosions, with one participant proposing an implosion of the Eiffel Tower as a hypothetical scenario. The conversation emphasizes the potential impact of such demonstrations on public perception and safety protocols. Overall, the thread explores creative and dramatic ideas for showcasing explosive events in a controlled manner.

How about a Liquified Natural Gas Tanker? Do it out at sea, of course, but with plenty of monitoring to establish the blast radius, force of the shockwave, extent of the fireball, etc. I'll bet once people see that, all LNG will have to be off-loaded at sea or in very remote locations, and none of the tankers would be allowed near populated areas until they are emptied and their tanks are purged.
 
Are you talking about actually physically blowing things up, or are simulations allowed? For instance, I'd be interested in seeing an implosion demolition of the Eiffel Tower, but you obviously can't do it for real.

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
