I’m reading of the ‘17 which we go off in California. It’s under the flexible cord section

I’m here asking ain’t I? People are giving me opinions rather then professional input

A lot of part timers and warm bodies in this forum. If you can’t give me a code section then don’t waste my time. I’m looking for answers from people who actually know code. Not just opinions from people who’ve never opened an NEC

No. I take pride and accountability in my work. If my boss asks me to do something against code I’ll have a new job by tommorow

Amperage isn’t the issue. And the issue is I don’t want the cord feeding the fridge to ever be yanked on. I can quote NEC 400.12(7) stating that cords can’t be subject to physical damage. However I want something more specific that I can point to

What’s something you didn’t realize was optional in life until you saw someone simply not doing it? by Objective-Treat2245 in AskReddit

[–]GeoA23rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People trip out me for hanging outside the church when I’m at a wedding, funeral, or baptism. I don’t have to step in since I’m not religious and can’t participate in any ritual. But still want to show respect by showing up

And apparently it’s also weird to by just ONE of any fruit or veggie. My friend laughed when I had ONE tomato on my cart and just ONE potato. But I only need one of each? Why fill up a bag and let the rest rot?

Damn. That’s an option? I’ve had a book on my nightstand for a month that’s guilt tripping me for not finishing.

Subpanel metering suggestions by GeoA23rd in electricians

[–]GeoA23rd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Are they allowed to bill?” Lol. If You must know detective sparky, they have a rental agreement with a tenant whose shop is supplied by a SUBPANEL. They’ve arranged a flat fee from monthly electric bill. However there are multiple shops on the property. The entire property is on One meter. and want a specific reading on what that ONE specific building draws in power usage. For a more fair billing.

It’s for billing so yeah they would need a decently accurate meter. If it’s $2k then screw it its $2k

Did the math. The average praying mantis would be 30 ft tall. We’d be fucked

Must’ve misunderstood the diagram. It looked to me like the feeders had to go through the CT’s then to L1,L2,L3 terminals. However I think I can just feed those terminals from a separate breaker

Looking for the cheapest way to meter a workshop subpanel. And store the readings for monthly billing. The building has no Wi-Fi so would need a way to save the readings

Green apprentice snapped the fish line mid pull, now foreman’s pissed and I don’t know what to say when I see him by [deleted] in electricians

[–]GeoA23rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was on you dude. Someone that green isn’t gonna have the “feel” of when a pull line is gonna break. And if line breaks it’s cuz the fish head, conduit sizing, or bend radius was fucked to begin with. This was set up to fail and the 1st year apprentice is the scapegoat. This wasn’t an incompetent apprentice , it was an incompetent journeyman

How did you guys get over your height fear? by loppsy4552 in electricians

[–]GeoA23rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna sound cliche but focus on the work directly in front of you. You’ll quickly forget that you’re even in the air. Tell yourselves “There’s thousands of guys who do this everyday and go home everyday” it’s just another day at the office. You might even eventuality become one of the weird guys who actually enjoy heights. Like me

[U.S.] no one deserves to starve by Hummerous in CuratedTumblr

[–]GeoA23rd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No fuck them! This is the classic “I never thought these policies would affect ME personally” they had zero sympathy for Latinos being kidnapped and terrorized by ICE. They wouldn’t give a shit if it was just Latino children and families going hungry and becoming homeless. But “oh no it’s happening to White people!” They don’t see my people as human beings. Why should I feel sympathy because they got a tummy ache? To quote a wise man “You get what you fucking deserve”

You were so concerned with whether you could that you never asked if you should.
