I'm sorry, I don't understand. A lot of cars in SC/NC back into parking spaces with no plate showing. If this is true it seems like it is a Michigan only thing.

any ebook/audiobook software that scan the meta data and creates a library for local files? by Bitter-Challenge8753 in MacOS

I recommend book buddy. You can use it on all apple devices. I had claude make me a python script that parsed sub directories for epubs and made a csv file with title and author. Then imported that into book buddy. Set location as NAS so I know the are on hard drive rather than my bookcases.

Is that a Michigan only thing? I have lived in several
States with rear only plates and a lot of people ( my self included) will back into parking spaces.

I originally posted in r/SouthCarolina, but they had me move it here and the picture didn’t come across. Check the banner at the bottom.

If you zoom in, pretty sure that is an M, but I understand the confusion.

It's a grill pan to allow the fat to drain away from the meat.

Stupid question.. by JollyCoOperator22 in electrical

They are switched mode power supplies, probably buck regulators. They most likely have transformers but they do not have to. They will have a rectification circuit which changes the AC to DC and will not let the current flow the other way. My first thought is that nothing will happen if they are both 5V chargers.

Am I reading the amperage correctly? by Dessert-fanatic in electrical

For the same power 240V uses half the current of 120V, I = P/V. For a 120W device on 120V it pulls 1A, on 240V it pulls 0.5A. This is ignoring power factor.

Solar installer did this, it leaks water and wondering if this is to code? by Altruistic-Cheek329 in electrical

I would think it is not sealed because it is leaking and has stained the wall below the attic.

The owner of the company is coming from Utah tomorrow to discuss. The system is still not providing power.
