Catastrophic Valve Failure

Thank Goodness a Plumber was Around

This is a placeholder (it has been replaced now), but several pictures have already been taken. When a catastrophic valve failure occurs it means the valve can not be turned off, cause a failure that stops the flow is “not catastrophic”, but one that lets it keep flowing is being flow undesired is energy lost. That is why safety systems typically fail closed - in order to keep the energy contained and to prevent unwanted flow when something amiss occurs. Sometimes there are also valves referred to as “check valves” or “backflow preventers” that are intended to make sure flow goes in the direction desired.

Either way, if the catastrophic failure of a valve occurs, I sure hope there is another valve upstream that can be closed so the leak is short lived.

I’m thinking story #3 is going to be one right up my alley, and it is going to be something I am so trained to perform and conduct that it is going to be fair and open and transparent. It is going to be a root cause analysis of the NordStream pipeline mishap.

When catastrophic things occur it typically means there are lessons that need to be learned.

* Pictures will be forthcoming on this article or story maybe just beginning…you wouldn’t believe all the evidence I already have - more than you might appreciate, but the facts are the facts and just the effing facts please jack upon this table of transparency where when the chips are played they are played for all to sense.

OK, you wouldn’t believe the new salsa recipe I’ve come up with - the peppers are special in this dish - see for yourself:

Now here is a nice image of the sunset this evening as I type this:

Here is what it looked like last night:

Both evenings we were “graced” (I reckon) with some sort of satellite flying overhead most evident in the clear evening sky and the satellite was a bunch of little balls on an effing string….and it was evidently man made and flying a low circling sort of motion around the planet I suppose - wonder who has the rights for that?

Anyhow, my daughter told me it was going to come by for another display tonight and I told her I bet against that, but turns out my daughter was correct. Funny - huh?

Other times she, my daughter, has been quick to judgement and I hope she works her way out of that - either way, I told her as she departed the deck we watched the effing Elon Musk satellite I reckon fly around…..I said to her - if not for you my sweet daughter born from me an your mother, we all wouldn’t be here now watching this unfold and that my daughter so pure is love burning strong like you a lion out of February do!

I love you!

Dad

Chapter 1 - Some Background Info

This is the new placeholder in this story.

When I come back, I will simply post numerous links with information regarding the destruction of the pipeline that runs in the Baltic Sea I think it is……the links I provide will show exactly the area where the destruction occurred, but let me ask you this….did you know supposedly one line of the NordStream 2 (it had 2 lines) is possibly still functional? Did you know that? If not, I suspect there is much else you will learn on this story after I post the links one at a time below for the sake of commencing the root cause analysis.

This comes from this link which I will do proper: Tis the bell

Perhaps nowhere is the control exerted by the mill more clearly seen than in the bell. This bell, situated on the roof of the Washington Mill itself, was a constant reminder of the mechanized life found in an industrial town. On the weekends and holidays, when the mill was closed, the bell was used to toll time. It was also used to warn of floods and fires. However, its primary purpose was to regulate the lives of the town residents. When the mill was first built, it employed a single ten hour shift, meaning that virtually every resident of the town would report for work and leave work simultaneously. To manage this incredible tide of workers coming and going, and to ensure productivity and efficiency, the bell was sounded as a way of organizing the worker’s hectic morning routines. At 5:00 a.m., on Mondays through Fridays, the wakeup bell echoed through the town. For anyone who tried to sleep in, another reminder bell was rung at 5:30. The toll at 6:00 a.m. was used as an indicator that all employees should be fully awake and dressed. Beginning at six o’clock, the bell began tolling every fifteen minutes, each toll designed to pair with an employee’s morning routine. Eat breakfast by 6:15, be out the door by 6:30. To accelerate the process, at 6:30 the bell began tolling every ten minutes. 6:40 was the warning bell, only twenty minutes to get to your station. By the 6:50 toll, responsible employees would be at their stations, while the less reliable would be running to catch up. Anyone arriving after the final bell, which tolled precisely at 7:00, would be considered late.

Stay tuned…

Chapter 1a - The Links Commence

Here is the beginning of the “link list” starting out of appreciation for the comment of a reader and so here is the list of links:

#1: Link 1 https://rumble.com/v3ekpvd-professor-hans-benjamin-braun.html

#2 Link 2 A bit of talking from sott.net at the time of the incident.

#3 - more links will be provided in the future

Here is some porter soon to be brewed:

I just ordered it - and I’ll make it later in 2025 - the Year of Turning.
