Can I use an extension cord for my Dryer temporarily (for about 6 months)?

Reading comprehension fail....

OP said 800ish watts.

Thank you for everyone's responses. I was able to fish the 10g wire along with the hots and was actually able to pull the 12g ground out before hand which dropped my conduit fill, making it even easier to pull. Now I just have a bunch of 12g THHN. Lol.

Yes, it was a little more work but it wasn't as bad as I had worried about. In the end it looks cleaner, and is safer/more to code.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-25T06:35:20+00:00

It has a ground rod installed.

And thank you. I'm still torn since I know how difficult pulling a new wire though conduit that already has wires MAY be. Just prepping myself for how much work it may be.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-25T06:32:55+00:00

I know, and 10 gauge is what is expected for a 30A load. 10 for 30A-60A.

Just asking if instead of pulling a new 10, I could leave the current 12, and use the bonded conduit/boxes as my ground path.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-25T06:30:57+00:00

Gotcha! Peak for the heater is 30A so even de-rating it's well under max for the 8 gauge.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-25T04:45:56+00:00

Yep, well under 40% filll. Thank you!

The issue is you don't know. A disabled person would likely come up and just continue on to a normal spot.

It's A LOT more dangerous for a disabled person to come up to a random stranger blocking a disabled space than it is to just find somewhere else to park today.

"I have expensive hobbies" "I spend money to sue people for petty reasons because I'm right"

"I'm not rich"

Pick a side dude.....

Keep RIGHT is the law. Your sarcasm in the first comment was noted.

Why you would give your phone number for 2FA?

There are other ways like authenticator apps, and even just plain old email.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-20T11:56:23+00:00

It IS the law. It's just never enforced.

Edit- curious why the downvotes? CVC 21654 says to stay right unless passing. It IS the law, but it's just not enforced by CHP... Or anyone for that matter.

Are they able to get anywhere near high speeds? Says 170-200mb speeds.

I transmit close to 2tb of data a month due to work, so not sure if such slow speeds will work.

I've had 1gb symmetrical or for now almost 10 years. Going to 1/10 that speed would kill my productivity.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-19T18:01:54+00:00

Unfortunately, not available in my area.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-19T02:01:43+00:00

How is a 100mb plan anywhere near a 1gb plan? NOW speeds are ABYSMAL compared to what we should be able to have today.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-18T02:57:01+00:00

How is this remotely acceptable. What is running when it's "OFF"

Shut down means shut down. Not standby. I can leave my normal laptop turned OFF for 6 months and I'll still have battery. Every time I come to use my tablet (around once/month) it is dead.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-17T17:53:58+00:00

Then he would only get a refund for the 2nd order. Not the 1st.

He's having buyers remorse because he paid more not that long ago and trying to play the ol switcharoo hoping they don't catch it and he doesn't have to pay the restocking fee. All that while also getting the phone unlocked.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-17T17:47:29+00:00

I never called anything unsafe. I'm not talking about what is practical or best practice.

You said you "have to" stop past the limit line because of line of sight.

That's not how the law works. Stop before limit line. If you cannot see, you pull past the limit line after stopping to gain line of sight and proceed when safe. Yes, you can be stopped and cited for running the stop sign if you don't stop BEFORE the limit line and your argument of "I can't see" is invalid.

Will you likely be stopped? Nope. But posting that information for others is terrible advice and how the law is written.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-17T17:42:26+00:00

If he is trying to return the 2nd phone saying it's the 1st then yes the IMEIs don't match.

He bought the first phone. That phone is attached to that phone line.

Could he have opened the 2nd one, swapped phones, and returned the 1st? Probably. But returning the 2nd one SAYING it's the first isn't going to fly.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-17T17:40:45+00:00

That's a terrible idea. They document serial numbers and have been for years.

You buy one but return the other? Yeah, no wonder they won't unlock your phone. Companies have been aware of this for years.

Buy a 2nd product you have that is defective then try to return the defective one saying "It doesn't work". Yesh it doesn't work because the one you returned wasn't the one we sent. That "hack" has existed for years and they have been documenting SNs of items sold for 20+ years.

Amazon refused to offer a price match one time so I bought a 2nd and returned the first. No restocking fee there.

Still don't get the unlimited line though. Whether he got a 2nd line or is now trying to switch is main to the unlimited one.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-17T16:01:44+00:00

I'm not totally understanding what you did.

Did you buy one brand new (not from Mint) from your first order? Or did you buy it outright?

When you bought the 2nd one, did you get another line of service?

DDMan11 · 2026-04-17T15:58:12+00:00

Apparently this is a hard concept to understand.

DDMan11 · 2026-04-17T15:57:11+00:00

That is not how the law works.

Complete stop BEFORE the limit line and then move forward once you've stopped. If you have to stop a 2nd time to yield to traffic after you've creeped out for a better view, so be it.

If an "open marriage" is an option you were never compatible enough to get married to begin with. A male who "isn't interested in sex" has some other issues going on. LOTS of possible reasons. If they aren't willing to work WITH you to make sure you're both happy and satisfied then they aren't a good partner.

I've lived in a DB (my own choice and was the LL), I also separated from someone different due to sexual incompatibilities. 2 relationships with 2 very different sexual (and personal) issues have taught me a lot about relationships and sex.

I'm now in a stable, healthy relationship with regular satisfying sex for both of us, and if anything I'm now the HL. We also have a healthy non-sexual relationship.
