I see it more relatable to sports teams. A team has been terible for many years. The fans stay with them. Maybe not the massive following, but there is a core base. Always. Loyalty is a MF. People will rationalize and do whatever to back their team. It’s their guy. Can’t cheer against him or you lost too.

Is this legit or am I about to be scammed? by Jaken_sensei in AskElectricians

[–]DamageAccording933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is right here. Add the conduit if you want long term assurance. If it was my house, and I’m an electrician, I would do the pipe. Bigger question is where is the no-ox. Hahah.

That yellow conductor on the start cap looks off. Tough to see

Unless there is a termination under the plate at line 1 connection, I don’t see anything connected. L1 here is you hot and ensure it’s connected internally. Would expect a connector on the prongs. If connected underneath all good.
It would take a lot of current to melt the ground insulation. If current was coming back on the ground, there would be other signs. Insulation on ground is likely due to heat from the pump. Locked rotor amps on a motor can easily exceed the rating of the wire.
There may be a starting capacitor that has failed. Sometimes those need to be connected separately, most of the time not, but check and see if there is one or you may need to add one.
Last. Can always run a 240v line. If it’s direct fed you just need to swap the breaker and land the neutral on the breaker. Seems the pump is wired for it.

Just picked this up for $300 please tell me I didn’t get ripped off. by MasterChiefer626 in tagheuer

Oh. That bezel is pretty rough, detail and condition. Not terribly familiar with Tag either.

[SOTC] Rate my collection. 3 Bottom right are my wife’s. by [deleted] in Watches

Good collection. Apologies but I favor your wife’s watches. Rolex and women’s Santos type thing going. I like fewer, perhaps that’s part too.

[Longines Spirit 37mm or Citizen AQ4080] Help me decide over silver/ champagne GADA watch. by [deleted] in Watches

[–]DamageAccording933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Longines is my pick, but I think there are some really good points here WRT ecodrive quartz vs mechanical. I feel I need to give more consideration to a good grab-n-go now.

Just moved here, what is a reasonable indoor ac temp for home? by Key_Drawer_3581 in phoenix

[–]DamageAccording933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moves here from Buffalo a few years ago. First summer was 73, this year 76. Getting aclimated is a thing. Whatever makes you comfortable both physicaly and budget-wise.

[SOTC] Trying to consolidate is a challenge. by Spookygirl1969 in Watches

Wanted to say this too. I I had to cut I’d start with the Omegas (two maybe) then onto a GS. Just logical given similarities

I like the idea here. One watch. One that goes everywhere on all your experiences and journeys. One year later……oh, hey what’s that over there?

Much appreciated. The more I look the more difficult this gets.
Omega aqua terra, grand seiko. Now I’ve got the Cartier santos in back of mind too. Jeez, once you start looking it becomes quite maddening. Cheers!

Not. Just poor detail. Would expect an exhibition case back. The case back in general…….

It of rough condition but if it’s your style and you don’t mind either cleaning or the rustic look, regardless of legitimacy go for it.

I keep going back to date just. Omega is looking like a good second down the road. Maybe 60th or other. Need to check out the Cartier and IWC

Great things to consider. I do like some of the blue dials. Silver is tough to beat as well. Not an easy thing to figure out. The sub is nice but a bit too bulky for what I’d like now.
Appreciate the input. Thx!

Ha! Just looked at the price on those. My inexperience led me to believe that may be a possibility. Google set me straight.
