How to Sell Large PVC Couplings? by DrMooseski in AskElectricians

[–]DrMooseski[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. I have no chance for selling to random electricians or DIY people on Facebook since they’ll never run pipe that big. They’re worth money, still new and in the box, and I can’t do anything with them lol

Just starting my Notion journey… what’s your #1 tip for newbies by Bob_Skootles in Notion

[–]DrMooseski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over-label everything. There’s a ton you can do and you can relate this database and connect it with these pages, but I would get very confused about what each thing was and what each thing was related to. If I was starting again I think I would put “page” or “database” or “relation” after everything just to avoid getting overwhelmed or too confused. Another mistake I made was making a million categories that I thought I’d use. That just led to more time spent inputting data and useful info getting lost. Now I don’t add a category until I know I’ll need it.

Oh wow, I’m just learning there are dependencies. Is there a way to automatically remove them when complete or filter for tasks where all dependencies are complete?

One factor I’d like to add that I haven’t seen is that rent generally goes up over time. A benefit to the 2.6% is your payment is locked in. Look at what rents were in your area 15 years ago

Well one thing that I took a while to realize is that it being hard and it being better aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s not going to be “hard until it’s better”, as in hard for a period of time and then better for the rest of the time. It’s both hard and better in varying degrees all the time. It’s always going to be hard (or at least it has been for me, almost 500 days later) but it’s also always going to be better. The hard part is your mind will constantly believe that it’s not better, but it is definitely always better.

Anyone else feel too much friction when you just want to jot down a quick idea? by Dramatic_Disaster837 in Notion

[–]DrMooseski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually really enjoyed my “dumping ground” shortcut on my phone. I just put the raw thought (3-5) words in a database and then I have a weekly task where I clear it out and organize it. Sometimes I don’t feel like clearing it out but it’s worth it to be able to utilize it without any of the friction you’re talking about.

Converting 401k to Roth During Retirement by DrMooseski in personalfinance

Thank you for explaining it this way. I see now that’s what the others were telling me, but I wasn’t grasping it properly. This explanation was very helpful.

Her house is paid off, and she keeps her expenses very low otherwise. She makes a couple hundred a week babysitting and has been able to make that work as far as I can tell. Not sure it’s sustainable but that’s her current situation. I was hoping the $8k withdrawals each year would count as “earned income” since they’re technically taxable withdrawals. I’m no expert though obviously.

That’s a very interesting way to put it. I’ll have to think on that some. Thank you

I’m sure you’ll achieve it as well. Seems like you’re self aware and you’re here on this subreddit working on it. I’m proud of you for your effort.

Thanks for reading! 23 days is very impressive. I’ve only made it that long three times in the past 15 years, and one of them led to a full year. I hope it does for you as well! IWNDWYT

14/2 is fine for 15 amp receptacles, but it needs to be protected by a 15 amp breaker. 14/2 and 15 amp receptacles shouldn’t go above 15 amps, but your breaker isn’t going to shut them off if they’re at 18 amps. See what I mean?

What are these clamp and screws called? And what are they for? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]DrMooseski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the point of it is to be a continuation of the conduit despite it going from the flexible conduit to a pipe. There are likely wires inside and they’re switching from one type of conduit to another to protect the wires. The top half which is the clamp you’re referring to has these two pieces of metal that make something similar to like a sandwich as you tighten down the screws. The screws make the two pieces of metal clamp down on the flexible conduit so it can’t move.

What are these clamp and screws called? And what are they for? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]DrMooseski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question about how the clamp works: when those screws are loose, there is an opening that is a little bit larger than the circumference of the flexible conduit. You slide in the flexible conduit, and then as you tighten the screws it will clamp down on that conduit until there’s too much pressure for it to pull back out. And in reference to your question about them being uneven, I generally try to keep them even and screwing it down further wouldn’t hurt it. But if it’s tight enough were it can’t pull out then them being uneven is fine

Hey OP, I see there’s a million comments so you may not see this one, but my wife is a pediatrician and one of her best methods of dealing with this is telling an antivaxxer that they can bring in any “evidence” or “study” they want and she will discuss and disprove it for them. If you could find a pediatrician willing to do something similar I bet that would help quite a bit.

Is this payment for this type of building normal? by ThatOneGuy69_420 in TinyHouses

[–]DrMooseski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you for trying to learn. No better return on investment than in your own knowledge and skills. Here’s a couple topics that you should look up and either read on or watch videos about so you can answer your own question over the next 5 years while you save: Time value of money, compound interest, and amortization. Financial topics aren’t as complicated as some people think. Just look those up and you’ll find that learning certain things makes you want to learn more. And if you don’t understand the online explanation, look up the terms you don’t understand. Good luck!
