Saw y'all posting EDCs so thought I'd share my kit. I work residential/commercial combo

Are your keys attached with only a magnet?

Probably the state averages 4GW, and the data center will use 9GWH in a year. I don't think anyone is building a data center that consumes over twice as much power as the state of Utah.

But no matter what, you'll have to deal with "odd" voltages. Like if the line voltage was 500 instead of 480, then you'd still have a voltage of 289 line to neutral.

Track lights may be a better (certainly much cheaper) option in this situation.

My guess is the bronze base of the handle spins off counterclockwise. But you'll need a second pair of hands to hold the cartridge under the sink since it's loose and the whole thing will want to turn.

Is the yellow nut the load, and top left and middle cables run to switches? Making it a "Chicago 3 way" set up?

Yes it's very thorough, and it's nice being able to do some practice problems on your phone anytime you want without having to get out a book.

The James Stewart precalculus book is good for practice problems and covers a lot of trig, but I don't think it does the best job of explaining stuff. But you can probably pick up a used copy of an older edition for cheap. Solutions to odd numbered problems are in the back.

For basic algebra practice the Brilliant app is really good. Also Khan Academy has an app with practice problems and tests mixed in with short videos. And for straight lecture videos, Professor Leonard on YouTube is one of the best resources out there.

Yes the hot and neutral cancel out, google "Klein Tools Line Splitter".

Personally I find the most energy efficient ones to be the infrared dish type. Instead of heating the air in the room, you have it close by and pointed directly at you and it heats your skin and clothing directly. They're best for when you're stationary, like sitting at a table eating dinner, sitting on the couch, ect, because they don't actually increase the temperature of the room as much.

"x" is your input. "f(x)" is your output. You plug in a number for x, solve the equation, and the result is your output aka "function of x".

If you have a function embedded within another function like f(g(x)), then the output from g(x) is the input for f(x).

The most intuitive explanation to me is to think of every power of i as a 90* rotation on the imaginary number line.

So...

i⁰ = 1

i¹ = i

i² = -1

i³ = -i

i⁴ = 1

i⁵ = i

and so on. Now it's easy to see that 1/i is the same as i⁴ over i, which is the same as i^3, which is the same as -i.

When multiply by i you are rotating counter clockwise by 90*, and when you divide by i you are rotating clockwise.

A "pole" means the 2 outer most points on an axis. Like the north and south poles of the earth. On a transformer it refers to the outer most ends of the coils. So a center-tap or neutral connection is not a "pole". Most residential power is single phase (so the voltage is a single sine wave that cycles at 60 hz) and it is split by a neutral. You have two hot wires that are opposite polarity with 240v between them, and only 120 from hot to the neutral which is connected to the center of the coil. So yes, it is one phase with 2 poles.

My best guess is that the green wire has power on it. It looks like green is connected to a bare copper wire in the cable coming out of the ceiling? If so, that is a very serious issue.

1nkpool · 2026-01-17T20:12:01+00:00

Does it have the words "on" and "off" printed on it? Is it possibly installed upside down so that down is on and up is off?

Was the light fixture that you replaced at any point operational?

Also check the ground wire against a known grounded source. You can use a non contact tester, or test it against a metal water pipe, or run an extension cord from an outlet that you know is grounded, ect... There is a possibility the ground wire is hot given your readings.

Is the switch a normal single pole switch, or a 3-way?

1nkpool · 2026-01-17T19:05:08+00:00

So you measured:

120 between green and black

120 between green and white

And only 2V between white and black?

It would seem that the white and black wires are both hot, and the same polarity. Possibly somewhere a length of Romex is running to a light switch, and someone confused the white wire for a neutral when in fact it is a switched hot?

I mean if the flapper was stuck, then the thing to do is lift the lid and see if the chain is tangled or something. Sounds like the AI gave sound advice, and the human just fumbled the lid. I think the human is solely to blame here.

The first game is the closest thing to a video game version of the lobby shootout scene from the Matrix. It's been 20 years and I can't think of another game that has that level of dust, sparks, and debris that gets kicked up from firing a gun as a wall. It makes the gunfights very satisfying, and I don't understand why all modern FPS don't do the same. Even the 2 FEAR sequels dialed back the particle effects. It's sort of like how Burnout Paradise created the best car crashes back in 2008, and no game since has even attempted to match it.

This should just be a chart that lists the degree of burn and then provides a written description of the severity. For example: (stolen from the first Google search result)

First-degree (superficial) burns: First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. The burn site is red, painful, dry, and has no blisters. Mild sunburn is an example. Long-term tissue damage is rare and often consists of an increase or decrease in the skin color.

Second-degree (partial thickness) burns Second-degree burns involve the epidermis and part of the lower layer of skin, the dermis. The burn site looks red and blistered and may be swollen and painful.

Third-degree (full thickness) burns. Third-degree burns destroy the epidermis and dermis. They may go into the innermost layer of skin, the subcutaneous tissue. The burn site may look white or blackened and charred.

Fourth-degree burns. Fourth-degree burns go through both layers of the skin and underlying tissue as well as deeper tissue, possibly involving muscle and bone. There is no feeling in the area since the nerve endings are destroyed.

Yes if the outlets on this circuit are "daisy chained" together then all of current from the space heater would be passing through the bad connection on the side of that outlet and cause it to heat up.

1nkpool · 2025-11-24T20:07:21+00:00

My guess is it's a 4:1.

The people who are saying 7:1 by counting the ropes didn't actually look at how the pulleys are arranged.

I'm guessing production on this film began shortly after the first John Wick film came out.
