how many amps?  that's the real question.  


generally speaking, I create and survive my own arc-flash at least once a week.  typically around 140amps or so.  Depending on what I'm welding



I've been around a 600amp blast.  put the guy in the hospital with 3rd degree burns.  That was the final straw for that company on allowing us to do hot work.  Although many of us still did it

New injector seals installed. Supercharger and intercooler removed (what a PITA that was). Wife's car washed and cleaned inside. Dumped some hot water and Oil Eater in the intercooler to soak for a bit. Now it's off to Ace for some water pipe brackets to keep the one to the front faucet from jumping around and making noise. Also need to find a nut to use behind the supercharger bracket to back up the bolt that keeps getting loose.

That's easy to do in NJ.  You're not far from Edgeboro landfill, too.  Just south of Rt1 on Rt18, near the big-ass-jughandle.

Parrots, tortoises, a raven, chinchillas and sugar gliders, a binturong, possibly a caracal or a cheetah. A de-stunk skunk might be cool.

Duckski wants a gaboon viper someday, but I’m not ready for hots.

The thing I’m pretty much over (at least until I have a lot more money and/or time) are things that require constant environmental management. I loved my aquariums, but worrying about water chemistry and oxygenation and flow and algae and beneficial bacteria and lighting and all the equipment that came along with it was time consuming, expensive, and exhausting. They’re pretty, but at this point in my life and finances, I don’t need a high maintenance girlfriend. Same goes for any other creature requiring intense environmental management.

An octopus is just a non-verbal water parrot. Smart enough to make a lot of mischief and trouble, intense environmental management, cannot be reasoned with.

Absolutely not.
