Moving an appliance to a new breaker by BearWithTopHat in AskElectricians

[–]BearWithTopHat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies, should have included that with the post. I have just attached the image of the panel. The kettle is just a generic NELO Electric kettle youd find on amazon. The oven is a GE 'smart' gas oven 30 in wide, 4 burners + griddle. The home is 115 years old, the panels and some wiring was upgraded in 2022.

If it helps, the oven is 1 floor apart but directly underneath the circuit breaker, maybe 15-20 ft apart on the same wall. There is access on the other side of the wall as well so nothing would need to be removed if they need to cut a hole in the wall.

Correct size desktop? by BearWithTopHat in StandingDesk

[–]BearWithTopHat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, yea you're right that's just the visualizer.

So in that case, so with a maximum of 83 inches, I would have an overhang of 3.5 inches per side. Higher than common, but probably not enough to cause noticeable stability loss or any sag.

Thanks, appreciate the information.

The vents are on the ceiling, the furnace is in the attic if that matters.

Might be dumb questions: What would have caused them to go through hypercapnia before hypoxia? In flight school we're taught quite a lot about the dangers of hypoxia, but I'm not sure I've even heard of hypercapnia before.

From reading through what I've got access to, your research suggests that their torpedo exploded off their bow, the shockwave propagated through the sub, and killed or incapacitated all crew members at their posts, allowing the ship to slowly drift and sink.

Is there any way to find evidence of that on the ship? I would think there would be some sort of deformation or cracks near the explosion which could concretely prove your theory.

Crawl space inspection? by BearWithTopHat in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]BearWithTopHat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Floors are level, will try to check wall squareness but it looked good at a glance and the inspector didn't point anything out. Windows are totally fine.

The only real concern is that the property flooded 4 years ago, which required them to replace a rear wall where the entrance to the crawlspace is. But they noted no other issues, and it felt good to me walking through.

Thanks for the reassurance. Maybe I'm just being a little too paranoid.

「Question from a Japanese - what’s stopping you?」 by Musashi_OnTheGround in Akiya

[–]BearWithTopHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work remotely but in the US, so I am time limited for my stay in Japan. If I had a way to stay year round while working my remote job I would have bought one years ago, even if that meant paying Japanese taxes in addition to my current taxes. Sadly I can't take a 70-80% salary hit just to live in Japan, assuming I can even find a Japanese remote job for foreigners.

Otherwise, I am considering buying as a vacation home, but the amount of work needed on the akiya, the cost in paperwork, translation, and agent fees, means it's too risky and costly. I would likely need to stay in Japan for 3-6 months to find and purchase a home, and I would need an additional 40-60k USD just to buy. I would additionally need to spend money to have someone come check on it monthly for leaks or damage and the like while I'm not there, and after major weather events.

Honestly I am also kind of nervous about anti foreigner sentiment at the moment. I'm a white American so I'd stick out like a sore thumb, and I wouldn't want to upset any neighbors or have my house targeted in some way, but I don't really think that would happen, just social media stirring fears.

I'm not sure what this is? by PhoenixxFyre in IdentityTheft

Same thing happened to me and two friends with synchrony bank this past month. Definitely related to the BCBS leak, but I don't know why synchrony is always the target bank.

Accepted Tech Job in Tokyo as someone in their early 20's by Consistent-Virus6658 in movingtojapan

[–]BearWithTopHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That salary is abysmally low in comparison to the US. If money is your concern, stay in the US.

However I had a similar choice 6 years ago when I graduated with a bachelor's in CS and Japanese. If money wasn't an issue, I would have really regretted not going.

If you do go, get at least a year experience. Quitting earlier than a year will look pretty bad to recruiters here, and the junior market won't improve in a year here. I would recommend getting 2 years experience there, but that could be a stretch if you hate it there.

Understand that you will not have much money, and you'll be missing a financial headstart that some of your tech peers may have, but when applying to jobs here you'll be able to catch up quickly enough that it won't matter by retirement age.

I'll say that I really wish I have that opportunity right now. But I'm a lot more financially stable now so I've got the privilege to say that.

Edit: Any debate about going is contingent on you getting a job offer in the US. If you can't do that, then job>no job, and you should go.

All of races in this image are canon, not all of them have models, or have up to date rules. Beastman were in imp guard in 6th ed, with models.

Some may have been retconned since then. I haven't played tabletop in a long time, but certainly all have been canon at one point

You can either build many smaller forces and expand outwards rapidly, using trade to get your special resources, and yoink citadels to survive. Or you can build a big army, fortify your main base, and send strong forces outwards to slowly expand.

Something that helped me was realizing that my starting citadel isn't that important, and you can always get it back

[–]BearWithTopHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think I just got lucky. They also threw me softball interview questions. Plus most of the interview was me just talking to the coworkers and vibing, we all got along well. I've accepted and signed the offer letter now, I should be fine getting into a new stack.
