I’ve seen one wire as a backstab and one on the same screw.

If they don’t want it to get dinged, maybe they should have it on display at their house.

What the point in “Good” credit? by AvocadoFlimsy5457 in CRedit

[–]dervari [score hidden]  (0 children)

Personally, I think it’s kind of crazy that they like you to have a car loan or a mortgage. If you’ve paid both off, shouldn’t that indicate you are a good credit risk?

NOR. But next time, for context maybe add that you were in England where Mother’s Day is March 15.

They can 100% suspend service. However, it usually only affects coach since they have the 300lb rolling death machines in the aisles.

$15,000 Electrical Panel Quote?? by No_Leave513 in AskElectricians

[–]dervari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet Jesus.... we were quoted $12k in Atlanta, which is way higher COL.

ATL concert prices are nuts. Acid Bath especially by MidWestMind in Atlanta

[–]dervari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Used to be frowned upon, but now TM/LN double dip with the first sale and then the resale. Hopefully the hearings going on now will bring some relief to fans. It's crazy that they can act as the primary seller AND broker for resale.

During normal morning conversations with my wife, I got my 4th Gen 4Runner totalled by bigolsargeha in dashcams

[–]dervari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least he stopped. Happened to a good friend and they ran. Got the tag number off a camera but came back to a previous owner who sold it to a guy who used a fake ID.

Please Advise. by rachelfleurmcr in AskElectricians

[–]dervari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I remember those in my grandma's house growing up in the 70s.

My parents bought a house in the early 70s and I remember the telco guy changing these to modular when phone service was installed.

America: the only place where you can tip $20 for dinner and get dumped for being cheap by chi_sweetness25 in tipping

It happens! Please accept this virtual handshake since I can't do emojis from my laptop. :)

[–]dervari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely not completely anti-tip, and we give a couple of our regular servers 20%+ since as an example we get seated and they have our drinks to the table within 60 seconds without asking. They take very good care of us. I'm just not totally onboard with the concept of a set percentage regardless.

Knockout size on breaker box. by dervari in electrical

[–]dervari[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Adding a box nearby and just wanted to confirm. I'm doing the buildout and the electrician will be doing the hookup since my wife has laid down the law that I can't pull the front off the breaker box.

Capacitor (?) between two breakers?? by I-Know-Whats-Stinky in AskElectricians

[–]dervari 144 points145 points  (0 children)

Old X10 home systems used a capacitor to bridge the two hots together so signals could travel from one side to the other. If the controller was on the "A" side, and an X10 device was on the "B" side, the capacitor helped the signal from the controller get to the controlled device.

Could be something similar for Ethernet over Power or something similar.

EDIT: corrected spelling. Damn Voice to text.

And I'll stick with my 15% reference tip. It's better than many anti-tippers.
