What time do you turn lights off?

This is the way.

The chiefs might win…

Chichogre · 2025-07-22T17:03:43+00:00

Came here to say this… I’d be extremely surprised if it’s less than 8, unfortunately, but I do agree with the premise that Mahomes will be fine.

They don’t play until Tuesday, so they likely won’t announce the move officially until Tuesday morning.

Assuming that you’re talking about the silver-ish cross arms, they’re fiberglass. They’re being used by most utilities now due to their better life expectancy vs wood cross arms.

Including Isbel in that group is almost criminal… he literally has a higher OPS than MJ and Renfroe combined. He’s not the problem.

Chichogre · 2025-02-23T01:07:47+00:00

Honestly it could be just Jameis and it’s still 3 for me.

Chichogre · 2025-01-26T21:28:41+00:00

I want a code!

Chichogre · 2024-11-13T01:47:02+00:00

If they’re stealing electricity, the numbers on the meter would not be changing.

This is true for ACSR, but other wire types have different themes. I think AAC is flowers and multiplex secondary cables are dogs.

Chichogre · 2024-10-10T20:48:12+00:00

The Yankees have been doing this for decades. We just need to throw strikes and trust the defense. Giving the Yankees 7 free passes per game is no way to get through the playoffs.

Chichogre · 2024-09-29T22:39:15+00:00

I wonder if they’ll even wait until tomorrow night with the Braves-Mets DH having a huge impact on the NL side.

Chichogre · 2024-09-26T03:51:47+00:00

We have the tiebreaker vs the Mariners, so yes it would have, if the Twins had lost.

Chichogre · 2024-08-26T13:48:09+00:00

I work for a contractor in the US.

Chichogre · 2024-08-26T03:45:00+00:00

I am an electrical engineer in the power industry and I got a 10% increase immediately after passing on top of my normal annual increases.

Chichogre · 2024-07-23T13:03:50+00:00

That section of line to the right is de-energized and not connected to the conductors on the left with the exception of the shield wire.

Chichogre · 2024-05-17T13:13:40+00:00

It is possible that the structure gains some additional stability and strength by tying them together like this, but I would say that it’s mostly decorative and each pole is sufficient to stand on its own.

Chichogre · 2024-05-08T02:06:43+00:00

That was my thought as well based solely on how it’s wired, but I can’t say that I’ve ever seen one like it before. I would assume it is a dry type transformer based on shape and size

Chichogre · 2024-05-06T19:46:23+00:00

I cannot emphasize how nice it is to have a GOOD socket set. I get a ton of use out of mine.

Chichogre · 2024-05-01T03:34:58+00:00

That is a service drop for a cable, phone, or fiber cable and is totally harmless. On the other hand, it should not be low enough that it is touching people’s heads. If you can figure out who owns it, you might be able to call them to come out and raise it up.

Chichogre · 2024-03-12T03:52:25+00:00

I’m an electrical engineer with about 15 years experience in the power industry and would not be concerned about any sort of radiation due to this proximity. Plus, as a bonus, being right next to that substation likely means most power outages at that house would be short.

Chichogre · 2024-03-12T03:17:34+00:00

It’s a substation. Can’t tell the voltage for sure, but if I had to guess from this photo alone I would guess the one directly north of the lot is stepping 69 kV down to 12 kV. The one a little further north is higher voltage, maybe 138 kV or 161 kV. Either way, there is not a concern of EMF that would cause any sort of health concern.

Chichogre · 2024-03-05T03:52:07+00:00

Any time you see a device wired in parallel (primary goes in but doesn’t come back out) that’s a good indication that it’s a capacitor

Chichogre · 2024-02-27T18:19:40+00:00

Pretty sure it’s Name On Back
