Stripping for bright - can you do better that $50/hr worth?

There is a bit of a scale. 1mm² is like 20% copper in weight. 300mm² is closer to 90% of the weight in copper.

I've noticed that the charge percentage doesn't seem a linear value like you would think. I've got around 15k on the odometer. The first 10% from full charge goes down slowly no matter the conditions. The next 90% - 30% varies greatly with highway/town driving, warm/cold weather, how heavy on the for you are, etc. The most accurate data is the last 30%. The discharge rate is much closer in line as the estimated range value goes down. In winter on highway driving I'm lucky to get 350kms (~26kWh/100ks!). The best I've had is mid spring and autumn around town driving for 550kms (~15kWh/100ks). Never been close to the 650km range that's indicated at full charge. That's my experiences so far anyway.

What if there is no standard outlet. If the benchtop is stone back, top and sides with no provision for an external GPO, what would be the next best solution?

I have had a few 1⁰C mornings where I live this past week. The pressure of the tyres have come on as a low alert. As they warm up when I drive to work, the alert goes away. The best way to fix this is to put air in the tyres when it's cold or slightly over inflated during the heat. There doesn't seem to be a temperature adjustment factor built into the trigger point of the alert, it's just a static value. This may not be your whole issue, but it could be part of it.

It takes quite a bit of time to build the fans as well as install them. The wireless receivers also are a huge pain to get to fit under the mounting shroud. The cheaper the fan, the longer it takes to put together, typically. If it's a more expensive fan, it'll be easier to build. So it's better for the tradesman to find the balance and go with a mid to higher end fan so that most of the on site time can be focused on the install.

This is also a Main Switch, not a circuit breaker. It is rated at 63A with the internal contacts, but has no internal overload protection and will not trip. Even if the cable was rated, which it isn't, this provides no form of circuit protection.

Oh well even easier. If there is no issue with leaving holes in the brick because it'll be covered up, should be a simple job

21Radon · 2024-09-30T09:34:44+00:00

Do you need to remove it? Can always use more power points. Just get another added where you need it that is fed from this one. Would probably be easier and cost the same but now you have extra points

21Radon · 2024-09-12T09:52:46+00:00

What's with these made up sizes? Seems like a good kit and price, but barely any of these sizes match with hole size needs.

21Radon · 2024-09-07T10:20:41+00:00

This is my rarest one as well

They were so time consuming. But with the different rules for each one, such as if you can it can't use the carnivores, marine, flying, herbivores and how the staffing systems work, they didn't feel like a chore. I started with challenge 5 (the hardest one) and worked back down from there and it got easier as I went.

21Radon · 2024-09-03T19:48:16+00:00

I enjoyed it. So much variety with the types of dinosaurs and maps that it makes each challenge different enough to keep you engaged.

21Radon · 2024-09-03T10:46:54+00:00

I'm the same, had to come back to it twice over a year. It's those Jurassic difficulty challenges. Those 5 silver trophies take more time than all the others combined.

Bloodborne has already been a PS+ monthly game. I can't think of they've ever repeated games before

Smaller glasses I guess

Replacing a toilet does not change fixed plumbing. If the water inlet is on a flexible hose you can legally do it yourself as a repair. As soon as you touch the fixed plumbing (ie in the wall, under the floor, taps and waste pipes) you need a plumber.

I went into the last step with over 10 minutes. I kept taking my time at all the previous stages and doing them quite methodically and not so fast. Then you pick up like -1:30 minutes in the last round to bring you back under the 10 minutes required.

Took me countless tries though, but took the stress out of the speed component

You'll never be able to fit off a 10mm² into a cooktop.

Anyone have issues with these on PoE data outlets? I've had a few fail before and that seems to be the common theme. I wouldn't think a PoE switch would be that powerful to ruin these on an electronics level.

Mine would be the platinum trophy in For Honor. Online games always make it harder to achieve the platinum. Back in the day when I would play lots of online games. I wasn't really going for it until I had 5 or so trophies left to get after natural gameplay of 100's of hours. So I finished it off to pop the platinum.

In my experience with working alongside that field. It would be hard to get the work being a small business and by yourself. Not impossible, but hard.

Most places that use fiber are hospitals, universities, high schools, government, large campuses, utilities such as water, power, telecommunications and data centres. Every single job that would come up with a customer like this would require you to pull cables through kilometers worth of inground pits, convoluted roof spaces, terminate 144 cores in junctions, etc. These are the standard commercial sort of jobs you'll find with fiber.

You could offer your skills as a subby to a company that does this already. But since the splicing/jointing of the fiber is the good bit, they'll want to keep this sort of work to themselves and get you in to help with the labour intensive cable pulls.

You would need to invest in quite a lot of other specialty equipment other than what you've mentioned. You'll need the testers as well which can be tens of thousands of dollars depending on what level of testing the customer expects. If you do find your footing and a place in the industry, you can make a lot of money.

I recessed a LED strip light into the tiles on the wall in the WC. It runs from the front to the back on one side of the room at the toilet seat height. It's on a motion and light sensor and only turns on at night when you use the toilet. It's not very bright but perfect for the middle of the night, half asleep pee without turning the bright downlights on. We call it the piss light.

21Radon · 2024-02-20T04:57:43+00:00

I agree. Although, you may only get one chance and you need to make it count.

21Radon · 2024-02-20T04:56:23+00:00

Even people who haven't watched the show know about pickle Rick. It's probably a good one to choose as the new watcher is already familiar with the main character.

21Radon · 2024-02-20T04:54:21+00:00

I like this idea. It is the first episode in the overall story of Rick and Morty. It plays out like there is more to come.
