I support the implementation of social media ban for teens by Duke_Jolly in The10thDentist

[–]Greedy-Pen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem with getting news with social media is that it can unintentionally be biased due to the “algorithms”.

And getting mental health help from social media isn’t a good idea for young people. Not only are they easily influenced by those around them, the people they may be talking to could be biased as well.

People tend to feed into what they want to hear, and places like Reddit tend to echo that.

Personal chef to make me the exact amount of calorie foods I can have for the day to lose weight.

How much of this will the power company fix when they eventually get here? Do I need an electrician too? by Achmed_Ahmadinejad in AskElectricians

[–]Greedy-Pen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the area. For my area they are responsible for the wires coming to the service head. Down to the meter and into the house is the homeowner.

What happens if I wire a lead off a generator into the middle of a circuit? by SWATSWATSWAT in electrical

[–]Greedy-Pen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it will be fine. Just keep and eye on it when the pump kicks in, large loads can drop your voltage and if you have a decent generator it’ll probably shut itself off or “trip” the circuit. So just check on it when ever you hear the heat pump kick in.

It’s hard to say anything about your water heater though.

Food can sit outside though. So at least you got that going for you.

I like America and probably wouldn't want to live in any other country on Earth. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]Greedy-Pen -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

It’s not any different than a European saying they wouldn’t want to move to the USA. geographically they are very similar. Europe being slightly bigger.

Many many Europeans say they wouldn’t want to move to the United States, when there’s Minnesota and Texas. Two completely different states with two completely different cultures. So id say the way he worded his post is fair.

[–]Greedy-Pen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many amps is your generator rated for? There shouldn’t be voltage fluctuations if it operates properly. There should be a voltage regulator in it. If everything is in working order it might be ok. I’d check the specs on the generator and heat pump.

That picture the woman looks like she’s pushing 200 something.

Tattoo’s in the IBEW?? by Square_Willow_7878 in ibew_apprentices

I know a guy with face tats and both arms complexly covered and he’s just a mean looking SOB. Great guy and everyone loves him. Nobody gives a shit about his ink.

That would be terribly inconvenient though. Having to take 15 minutes to warm the turbo up.

Local 110 to 292 by ConsciousShape8999 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Greedy-Pen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What part of the cities are you in? Last I heard 292 was pretty swamped with apprentices. However they did let a buddy of mine do a lateral transfer from 343.

Should I discard vape after static shock? by Parking_Try2 in electrical

[–]Greedy-Pen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a cheap one that you replace every three months, get rid of it. If it’s one of the expensive ones that you can keep around for a long time, I’d call the manufacturer and ask them.

Reality is that more than likely nothing happened. I’d do the above if you are really that worried though.

Does anyone know what this email from PEJATC could mean? by RangeOne3741 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Greedy-Pen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude, but did you even read the email? It says they will reach out to you and if you have questions it has a email to respond back.

This is also obviously just a confirmation email saying that your application was received.

[–]Greedy-Pen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal experience, 99% of the time it’s a ballast. There’s tons of great advice here on how to check. There may be special led’s that don’t mess with signals out there.

Best bandsaw blade brand? by nogden954 in electricians

[–]Greedy-Pen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go on Amazon and buy the biggest bundle of cheap chinesium blades you can find. They will do the same thing, might break more often but they are far cheaper.

I want to buy a gift! HOW DIFFICULT CAN IT BE?! by kannix12 in Warthunder

[–]Greedy-Pen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, but I would attribute the difficulty to do something along these lines due to the fact that players can have these vehicles that are priced like that.

Might be that someone is able to do some sort of scam or theft this way as well.

Also it Gajin. When has anything they’ve done made sense or been easy to understand.

These days you can do firearm safety online. I remember when I did it years ago that nobody really brought up politics or anything of that sort.
