I am starting to replace our copper hot/cold water supply lines with PEX . (every few months we seem to be getting pinhole leaks in the copper pipe original to the house 40 to 50 years old).what would be better for durability the plastic or brass? I am leaning more towards brass fittings in case of freeze up near the walls in the basement.
STOP OPERATING THEM OUTSIDE THE ENCLOSURE!!! You know how egg whites start out clear and get white when cooked well the same thing happens to the clear cornea of your eyes! If the cornea is heated, it will get cloudy. These are called cataracts. They may ruin your eyesight a little or a lot and require surgery to remove. Also, think about your family or anyone nearby. The enclosure does trap the waves so they bounce around inside to hit the water from all sides. There is usually some sort of fan which also scatters the waves at all angles. Maybe the main beam is not hitting your water or the cage is not the right size. Edit for additional info- I'm sure it is setting off the smoke detector from the high intensity microwaves inducing currents in the detector circuitry (and your eyes! why are you still operating this?)
I think he has a shot if he can make it a wrestling match and keep the fight on the mat and dominate GSP that way and I think that is what he is going to try and do. While he has added some power and muscle to his frame and hits and kicks with more authority GSP still has a huge edge in that department. Shield's ability to take a punch I would call only average and so standing up with GSP is probably not the way to go.
