  1. But were they cables or conduits? Edit. The pipes appear to have stripes down them which means they are HDPE conduits/pipes. The colour of the stripe denotes the use. IMPORTANCE OF COLOUR CODING FOR HDPE PIPES Since HDPE pipes are suitable to such a wide range of applications, a colour coding scheme has been implemented to make it easy for professionals and technicians to accurately identify the purpose and contents of pipes. This coding system simplifies the process of handling and installing HDPE pipes, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring the overall safety and efficiency of the systems they are integrated into. Let’s explore the HDPE colour coding system and what each colour signifies: EXPLANATION OF AUSTRALIAN (IPLEX) & AMERICAN (ATKORE) HDPE PIPE COLOUR CODING The colour coding system for HDPE pipes typically involves coloured stripes or bands on the exterior of the pipes. These stripes indicate the type of fluid or gas the pipe is designed to carry, the pressure rating, and other essential information. Understanding this system is crucial for anyone working with HDPE pipes to ensure they are used correctly. COMMON COLOURS USED HDPE pipes in Australia can come with various coloured stripes, each serving a specific purpose. Below, we’ll discuss the most common colours used and their meanings, along with some typical applications: RED STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Red stripes on an HDPE pipe usually indicate that pipes are dedicated fire-extinguishing supply mains. Common Applications: Firefighting systems, fire-extinguishing supply mains, emergency water supply. BLUE STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Blue stripes typically signify that the HDPE pipe is intended for potable (drinkable) water. They are designed to meet strict quality standards for water distribution, which can be consumed. Common Applications: Municipal water supply, residential water distribution. YELLOW STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Yellow stripes indicate that the HDPE pipe is meant for gas, fuel gas or coal seam gas. These pipes have the necessary pressure ratings and safety features for carrying natural gas. Common Applications: Natural gas distribution, industrial gas lines. GREEN STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Green stripes on an HDPE pipe are often associated with Imperial Rural/Raw Water also known as rain water. These pipes usually run in rural areas, where rain water collection is critical. Common Applications: Rainwater harvesting. ORANGE STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Orange-striped HDPE pipes are typically used for electrical conduit applications. Common Applications: Underground electrical and communication lines. PURPLE STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Purple stripes can indicate reclaimed or recycled water pipes. These pipes are used to transport treated wastewater for non-potable purposes, such as irrigation as well as slurry lines. Common Applications: Reclaimed water systems. GREY STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Grey-striped HDPE pipes are often used to signify gravity sewers. These systems use a network of pipes, which rely on gravity to transport raw waste to treatment plants. Common Applications: Gravity sewage systems. CREAM STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Cream stripes may be used for Sewer Rising Main. Rising mains are pipes carrying sewage from a pumping station to another discharge point, like a sewer or a sewage treatment facility. Common Applications: Pressurised sewer applications. WHITE STRIPES Meaning and Significance: White stripes are used for communication conduits and/or mine sites in order to reduce the heat load on above-ground transfer. Common Applications: Used to identify communication conduits and in mining to lower the heat load on transfer lines above ground. https://worldpoly.com/hdpe-pipe-coloured-stripes-meaning/ On the other hand the color coding doesn't appear to be universal. Another color scheme. HDPE Color Code mean Solid red or red stripes: electric power lines, cable, conduit and lighting cables Solid orange or orange stripes: telecommunications, alarm or signal lines, cables or conduit Solid yellow or yellow stripes: methane or propane fuel gas, petroleum, steam or gaseous materials Solid green or green stripes: sewers or drain lines Solid blue or blue stripes: potable water Solid purple/lavender or purple/lavender stripes: reclaimed water, irrigation and slurry lines Solid black: any application where the pipe is exposed to sunlight for a long period of time
  2. The Health Ministry said 107 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours. That brings the total number of fatalities to 29,092 since the start of the war. The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its records, but says around two-thirds of those killed were women and children. More than 69,000 Palestinians have been wounded, overwhelming the territory’s hospitals, less than half of which are even partially functioning. The Health Ministry is part of the Hamas-run government in Gaza but maintains detailed records of casualties. Its figures from previous wars in Gaza have largely matched those of U.N. agencies, independent experts and even Israel’s own tallies. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/more-than-29000-palestinians-have-been-killed-in-gaza-since-wars-start-health-ministry-says
  3. There's coconut milk and then there's coconut milk... Just add water.
  4. You don't think the Irgun or Stern Gang had a hand in starting things?
  5. I'd put up with fluffy hairdos and pointy tits again if it would knock 50 years off my age.

  7. ^^^ Or 1.587 Petabytes and nobody knows what you're talking about.
  8. Suck it and see. Try this https://www.iplocation.net/ip-lookup (there are other geolocation websites) Also has some articles on the accuracy of geolocation based on IP address. Any website or organization enforcing location rules will probably know if you are using a VPN which may beg the question "why". Using Nord VPN set to a server in Montreal it says
  9. I don't know the reason why. When I had the Shingrix shot the other day the person administering the shot warned me that my arm would hurt more than with other vaccines. It did.
  10. Years ago while working in IT, one particular client had a strict reset passwords monthly policy. The result, many desks with Post-it notes with the current password of the desk occupier.

  12. Pick your vaccine carefully (if you have the choice). Zostavax - single shot - 41% effective in 70-79yo, 18% effective in those over 80. Shingrix - two shots 2-6 months apart 97.9% effective in those over 70 years. Had my first Shingrix shot a couple of weeks ago. Had Zostavax years ago.
