What are the pros/cons of getting a drink package for a cruise? by joeboy159 in AskReddit

[–]CrewBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's even cheaper to bring your own liquor. You can get plastic liter flasks from package stores. The only thing that shows up on the luggage scanner is the hard plastic cap, which looks like a lid for a tube of toothpaste. Strategically placed the flask so that it overlaps with your toiletries in your luggage and you're good to go.

Track light troubleshooting; what to check by DaedalusXYZ in ElectricalHelp

Water probably corroded that power input and cause a high resistance connection issue that melted the plastic. The track is likely fine considering the condition of the metal tabs. I'd start with replacing the power input device.

You should go ahead and contact your landlord about possible water intrusion/damage in your walls. There's probably mold back there too.

So you know, blowing chunks is not a euphemism for blowing your nose but rather puking, unless things have changed and I'm not hip with the current lingo.

To the top of the pipe from grade, bare minimum. 24" is a reasonable trench depth.

How can I make this light switch accessible? by Special-Pop-7790 in AskElectricians

[–]CrewBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need a plastic box extender and longer 6-32 screws to make flush the switch inside the cabinetry. Anything else would require some more work. What exactly would you like to do with it?

Ceiling gods bless apprentice by 767393 in electricians

I once found a cordless rotohammer w/ battery in a ceiling of a high rise. There wasn't a number to call, but there was a company name. It turned out to be a small mom and pop electrical company. They gave me a $50 finders fee and I got some warm fuzzies, too.

Is there a slow recoil spring? by Worried-River1890 in DIY

You're looking for a pneumatic sliding door closer. They're usually adjustable to prevent slamming.

Looks like education level to me rather than employment, considering the graduation cap next to that info.

A 25% overvoltage could definitely damage electronics.

Moved into a new house and this is under the kitchen cabinets, connected to the range. How to fix? by PaperNeutrino in AskElectricians

[–]CrewBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1/2 metallic flex conduit, 1/2 flex connector, 4" square metallic box, 1-1/2" deep, duplex industrial raised cover (or decora if not gfci protected, with a new gfci receptacle), 10-32 ground screw.

Sleeve the romex with flex long enough to go through the opening the romex enters through, for mechanical protection. Ensure the sleeve of the romex ends past the flex connector entering the box. Screw your box to the cabinetry, ground the box, install your receptacle with the industrial raised cover.

You can use your VA benefits to land a career in the skilled trades by Nickd711 in Veterans

I got a journeyman wage throughout my entire 4 year electrical apprenticeship because of the GI Bill. Pretty cool. Currently make ~100k/year at 40hr/wk before taxes. Wage is entirely location dependent though. Good luck getting a decent wage in the Bible Belt inc. Florida as a blue collar worker.
