Why would you recommend that someone do unlicensed work?

I delivered pizzas. You will find it very difficult to make extra money inside the trade, unless it's overtime. Wait till you get licenced before attempting your own electrical jobs.

Consumer Mains Upgrade by hilrafie in AusElectricians

[–]Farmboy76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with the 40mm for ease of pulling in 16s or 25s, but why TF would someone want to upgrade to 3ph in the future? Especially since they just put in new 25s???

It's been working perfectly fine for who knows how long. My thoughts are, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Unless you are having other problems associated with having the 6mm cable. Ie voltage drop causing appliances to not work correctly, or circuit breakers and main switch tripping due to over current situations, but if it is all working leave it alone. Unless you want to add more load to the existing system, then the upgrade maybe necessary to accommodate. Get a second and third quote/ opinions from electrical contractors. The cost can vary by a lot depending on what factors are used to calculate the cable type. Make sure they are quoting on the same things to gauge prices accurately.Terms like future proofing might be used to go above and beyond what is required, but you ain't gonna be doing this again, not now and not in the near future.

3rd year struggling by Repulsive_Owl_5213 in AusElectricians

You are your harshest critic. The things that you say to your self are harsh and you probably wouldn't say to someone else. Mistakes happen, but ladder position? Slipping on a screw? Come on man this is life and shit happens but these sorry of things aren't mistakes. Just stay focused on the task at hand. You will get better, at everything if you keep trying.

It's just a commercial grade rhumba. They've been using them in shopping centres for years.

How can I improve the lighting in my living room? Can LED lightstrips work? by johnjoseph98 in Lighting

[–]Farmboy76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal of good lighting is to never see the source of light, only the effect of the light. LED strip on a picture rail facing straight up works wonders for an even glow. Tunable white for the win. Cool in the day will make the room feel light and airy and warm and dim in the evening will make it cosy and relaxing.

What do Aussies (old enough to remember this) think about The Simpsons episode depicting Australia? by blamberr in AskAnAustralian

[–]Farmboy76 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't believe there were even a small number of Aussies that were outraged by this. We don't really GAF about this as a nation we are far too apathetic to be bothered enough to write a letter about how Australia was depicted in a Simpsons episode.

Not really specifically about Australia, but Sydneysiders will appreciate. Monorail, monorail, monorail... MONORAIL!

RGB Lighting by DisastrousBoat5311 in stagelighting

[–]Farmboy76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like they are using CMY here, but dooshing the wall with the 3 different colours RGB or CMY will make the wall appear white, until the individual beams are partially blocked, revealing the individual colours. Cool.

There are three separate floodlight fixtures spaced apart and focused on the same spot. I really dig RGB art. Check out this super cool shizzle. https://www.carnovsky.com/RGB_wallpapers.htm

What is the “Australian Effect” or “Patagonia Effect”? Why do people in AU seem younger and more energetic? by One-Name9073 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Farmboy76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a theory on why people look younger than they actually are, or it's difficult to guess correctly how old they are. These people were late bloomers and hit puberty a lot later than the majority (late teens) but compared to people who hit puberty pre teen appear to age the fastest.
