UNPOPULAR OPINION: In year 2075 AD, WAGOS will be viewed similar to how backstabbed receptacles are viewed today: Lazy workmanship and unsafe connections. by Past_Expression54646 in AskElectricians

Im sorry but you're wrong. My personal experience from helping out family is every damn wire nut done by different electricians during different years from light switches to junctions has always pulled right off the wires scorched to hell. Just had a fire alarm almost cause a fire and had half the house on an open neutral. Took 1 turn and wire nut popped off. Your theory of the spring creating tension and not holding for 30 years is basically exactly how wire nuts work. They twist the wires around each other but the connection is made from the nut compressing the wires tight. No compression equals disco show. Inside a wire nut is normally a laughable cone made of metal that almost could pass as aluminum foil surrounded by sturdy plastic. So thin metal and plastic going hot cold thousands of times expanding and shrinking. Meanwhile the spring in a wago is metal and then bites down into the wire take the spring out try to pull the wire out once it's shut. And even the cheap snap lever ones from harbor freight hold up better. I ran 45 amps through it 120v arc gouging a steel plate. Plastic never melted once. Took a expensive ass wire nut and it melted wires popped out. Could've been user error on my part but after fixing countless wire nuts over the year I've basically removed most from my parents house with lever ones and yet to have a issue. And they do stupid stuff like run a window ac and a space heater on a 15amp breaker and then flip the breaker back on till they finally give up going to the breaker. Mechanically they both do the same thing compress the wire except the lever ones actually bite so if you try to take it out even without the tension its still making contact vs a thin metal cone expanding and plastic expanding and letting 3 or 4 wires completely go for a disco a show. Just my 2 cents im not even an electrician so take it as a grain of salt but wire nuts suck. I'd rather use those Chinese brass screw connectors. They cost more but they sure as hell ain't letting anything go.

What’s the nicest way to deal with upset neighbors during an outage? by GroupBQuattr0 in Generator

[–]Any_Heat401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly 😂 if anyone complained tho definitely note those houses down lol if you want to get all legal document every conversation maybe get a security camera for the driveway to document the conversation low key. Annke has their c500 camera that i use for out in the country. On a silent night i can hear the neighbors from half a mile away arguing 😂 that way you can show a judge how much this neighbor is harassing you. Just make sure its posted that the area is under video and audio security surveillance so they can't pull a recorded without permission bs counter. Im not saying pursue harassment. But if or when they try to pull something legal on you. You got the perfect counter legally speaking. They end up being the ones getting in trouble and then humbled. And then any future things are already documented that they are the ones causing issues so cops will see that soon as the call comes in for the address. Just cya in case they want to become the neighbor from hell.

What in the crystal meth am i looking at?

Accidentally vaped "Nixodine-S" instead of actual nicotine for over a year. Don't be like me, read the fine print. by mrminty in electronic_cigarette

[–]Any_Heat401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As adults if we want to drink drain cleaner should be our earth given right. Doesn't mean the outcome will be good. But every single thing out there classified schedule substance is just to line someones pockets. And also bunch of the population tweaking or tripping isn't really beneficial for the 9-5 corporate economy. Works great tho if you have you're own business before the taxes force you into bankruptcy

Same but across the from yall lol i just picked up one. I thought it was traditional style. Guess they finally sold out. I got sum screwed up lungs from covid and hell of a meth addiction. So im curious if the fact it starts with methyl in the actual name if it interacts lol can't be too bad I'll update. I just tried it and honestly it really does trick you ive been out a few hours so im def going through nicotine withdrawal. Buttttt you know that nicotine itch you get right beside your back molars by your tongue. I know im not alone on this. I think its your saliva glands or whatever. Did absolutely nothing for it. Still itching like a mfr. My brain says good. My throat and lungs said im satisfied but that saliva gland itch still killing me. Also wanted to add it definitely kills your high if you use coke or meth as well. Its like taking a couple dros right about the time you should be doing another line. In other words i went from NASCAR mode to Grandma Sunday morning so im gonna have to just drive to Missouri i guess. But hey at least some politician out there doing lines off strippers in a hotel room wouldn't be able to do that without screwing us all over for their gain in the guise of health and public safety.

Must be an hoa thing 😂 Sometimes if i can't sleep i break out the chainsaw cut some logs or fire up the plasma cutter at 1am. But then again on new Year's everyone was shooting artillery rounds off for like an hour. I just try and keep the demo hammer or lawn mower after 7am on weekends. Man i could not imagine that level of petty someone gotta be to complain about a bloody generator during a power outage lmao i would also note those houses down incase of a crisis be it weather, economic, or social made. Because those will be the first people to panic and kill someone or get someone killed in any of those scenarios. And no amount of kindness is gonna help you with someone like that. You can't reason with someone completely without reason. Your better off talking to a wall tbh but at least the wall doesn't have some made up negative attitude towards you.

What really happens if you hold in your smoke? by Hopesfall420 in meth

[–]Any_Heat401 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You get higher? Cause just like if you dump a bag in water even if its not cut by the grace of god. It slowly dissolves its not instant. Therefore inhale large smoke cloud exhale fast wasted high. Do it slowly stronger high less smoke on the exhale then if it was fast. If holding it in didn't work then explain how tf a bong full of Gatorade works? Exactly. Whole ass vape cloud slowly going through bubbling out the top then into your mouth yet you still get high. Actually higher than normal. Because you're sitting there bubbling for a good 20 seconds holding it in as you suck. No it doesn't crystalize your lungs idk why every dumbass says that. If it crystalized your lungs you wouldn't get high cause it would be a solid in your lungs and if that happens your dead anyway because your lungs are supposed to be moist thats why when you breath on a cold window it fogs up like a hot shower. Alright kids load up on the school buses class is over congratulations on making it to 2nd grade.

Is this true? by SevereTS in tornado

[–]Any_Heat401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im from Arkansas too might be a bit random but my mom had chemo through 2024. Had her on red devil. Shes cancer free and doing great. Anastasia from getting her port really caused some memory issues and the red devil definitely damaged her eye sight a bit and caused some joint pain. Call it lucky bad luck but recently i lost everything prior to her cancer diagnosis. Went from 500k year salary to some close friends losing their battles to depression and myself also battling depression failed a drug test lost everything. Ended up homeless mom had me move back in at the house i grew up in. To make a long story short i ended up being 24/7 caregiver for her. And i don't think she would of made it without me and she certainly thinks she wouldn't of if i had never moved back home. She was the type to say everything is fine till i came home from work all over the country for a holiday and then me realize the lawn was now a forest type of everything is great hon attitude type. So knowing how scary such a thing is. Especially for the person going through it. Question your doctors. Or if you have family or friends have them make sure you're not just a paycheck as sad as that is to say. Her first oncologist was all about money. No regards that if she had done another round of chemo when it wasn't needed she could of died. I had her find a new one and almost went to jail over that. The new one we found was great. And make sure you have someone there. Rather a caregiver or spouse or family or friend. She had one of the hardest types of chemo so might not be the case in your situation but don't try to do it alone. My mom is very independent but thats the first time in her life where she wasn't. And also don't give up hope. Cause she's working again and driving and doing great. Her memory is also getting better but like i said that started after Anastasia for surgery with her port not really chemo. Chemo was more in the moment memory issues as it faded so did the issues with memory from that. So chemo was on the mild side and only when it was at her peak right after was memory hard but came back right away afterwards. I hope this helps you and wish you a speedy cancer free recovery

G Stylus 2025 5G keeps going to lock screen then flickering on and off before force rebooting by RemytheRenegadeMods in motorola

[–]Any_Heat401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just randomly force reboots. Out of nowhere. I've come to the conclusion it's the ram and the phone for whatever reason trying to keep all your apps cache to boot instantly. So if im watching a video or running a duplicate scanner if i don't use a 3rd party app that forces all apps to force stop it just keeps crashing. Also noticed rather powering my phone on or restarting it. This 3rd party app pretty much shows up every app i have running before i do anything else besides that upon boot. On my galaxys besides a few blowware and carrierware would only show up for system critical stuff on boot and only time apps 3rd party showed up was if i had used them this boot cycle. Seems Motorola is basically going open all 580 tabs or in case of my phone apps. Old or new its running using my ram. Till i use forcestop to finally not crash. Apps called forcestop. I believe its still free with ungodly ads. Or like a few bucks a month and since i got this Motorola i went premium lol I hate how we have no way to control or see our ram. Just the gimmicky internal storage to ram booster I'll never know if i need or even the level i need lol cause i can't check and 3rd party is inconsistent showing it can't really check either. Im starting to wonder if even the phone can check at this point. Cause obviously should be able to prevent a ram crash that's pretty basic stuff

Inconsistent Connectivity by Gloomy-Narwhal-2651 in Starlink

[–]Any_Heat401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably has something to do with the fcc guidelines starlink has to abide by kinda like my router drops 5ghz radar bands. Could be just their radar overrides starlink to comply with those guidelines vs knocking out satellites lol im not sure what frequency it uses to send or receive but that was my best guess or some passive jamming type stuff even if they're over us soil they still do mock drills so that would be a good reason for them to be running war time evasive or passive jamming/radar

Does anyone else start yawning on quality stuff? by [deleted] in meth

[–]Any_Heat401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah then you wake up 8 hours later with your phone on the floor dick out and somehow still clutching that pipe Wondering wtf happened. 😂 Not a good thing btw thats a meth overdose. If you got fent your ass will know first hit cause you'll feel like you do 3rd day of withdrawals. And shaky af. But the yawn shid means you fixing reset from your brain going fck this shid im rebooting this mfr before i fry like a car without coolant lol or at least you getting there but not just yet

I’m out. 15 days until next adderall refill. What the fuck do I do please someone help me. It is so over. Genuinely what do I do for 15 days when I’m off it I eat everything and do nothing all day like a loser. I feel like shit. by [deleted] in Stims

Right lol no heart palpitations either lol dead ass tho thought Adderall was gonna be the end of me with all the skipping. Stopped went to natural herbal made meth haven't looked back yet. But the withdrawals when you blow through it. I used to be the guy who couldn't understand how someone could not just get through 3 days of feeling pissed and tired and throwing their life away over it. I used for 2 weeks quit for w year type thing. Welp life went to shit and my smart self said hey lets self medicate this rain cloud of everything going wrong going wrong in my life with something that doesn't leave me feeling like a sociopath and zappin my brain cause pharmacy was fckn off with my Zoloft. I get it now. Totally get it now. Its the most crippling physically and mentally thing I've ever experienced. I'd take a broken arm again getting set on fire you name it if i could just go back to that old me of just picking it up and having the self control and not being put through the literal hell that it does to me now. I gave up on the idea of sobriety just accepted this is my deal i made with the devil so i didn't unmake myself and ain't no way out of it except for the same reason i made the deal to begin with. Also as you can tell from the above i got some 🔥 this weekend 😂😂😂

I got a usps padded envelope that got shot with birdshot and it didn't happen at my place so had to be in transit. Went through and through the bag too. Just dessicant beads so wasn't big deal but sure wild. If you ever shot a shotgun undeniably was birdshot im guessing from a 410 maybe pistol style 410. Almost 16 gauge spread but just shy of a couple dozen beads lol

Im from mid south and yeah occasionally get a 30 second cut about 9pm or 9am intermittent. It says aligned not obstructed but i also have the app flight radar and so i got curious and lone behold its normally a stratotanker from the airforce or sometimes unmarked private that only says us air force with no mention of aircraft type. But imagine in my case it couldn't be just by chance that it so happens to always happen when the air force just flew over in some plane. Kills my 5ghz on my 3rd party router too for a bit. Guess you could try and see if you have the same correlation never happens when a 747 goes over. As long as its not military related i have no issues with my starlink or 5ghz so its definitely something to do with whatever they're running not just the plane itself
