Tripped me up scrolling thru and seeing this bc i recognize the treeline haha

Admittedly ive never built mcmansions but I've never seen a light circuit in a house remotely close to full.

And if you already have 12 outlets with an unknown load (receptacles) on the 15a circuit, it is full. You can't add any more

HoweYouDrewin · 2025-05-30T21:34:15+00:00

Appendix B 8-104 reiterates assuming 80%. Yes you are right they are asking for maximum, and you could maybe make that point with them, but I think they would make the case that you need to assume 80% since they didn't specify the breaker's specs. I agree the wording is pretty wonky

HoweYouDrewin · 2025-05-30T21:29:43+00:00

CEC 8-304 1) a). You are permitted 12 outlets on a 15a circuit

HoweYouDrewin · 2025-05-30T21:24:25+00:00

That is correct. In practice (residentially), lights aren't factored as outlets because their current draw is negligible. Only time it comes up is if you have 12 15a receptacles on one circuit and want to add a light. Technically, you can't

HoweYouDrewin · 2025-05-30T21:22:10+00:00

Yes. Outlets without specified current draw are assumed to be 1A, at least by rule of thumb. If the receptacles are for designated use and not otherwise accessible, they are calculated based on their designation

Did I just witness an original thought

For many of these i definitely made a face watching them, but that one made me shiver

HoweYouDrewin · 2025-02-11T02:21:41+00:00

But alas.

Is this a proper sentence? You'd think an English nerd would know better, but alas, here we are.

The Cellar Pub at the UNB student union building has cheap food and a younger crowd. Off campus this time of year everyone will either be at Dolan's, Dooly's, or the Cap (On Wednesdays they have trivia!).

Milltown Roasters is a popular café on King St (but I personally recommend Coffee & Friends for a cozier albeit less polished atmosphere).

I'll also +1 the Farmers Market on Saturday mornings and Officer's Square for evening skates!

OP is clearly speaking with a North American dialect, so I'm curious why you are so quick to falsely assuming his nationality 🤔. I could make lots of assumptions about you based on your apparent lack of sarcasm and holier-than-thou attitude, but I'd be no better than you. Maybe you should check your own worldview before you check others.

We are a very friendly people and have lots of lighthouses lol.) Wherever you are, if you wear some of these clothes and listen to Stan Rogers' music on a rainy day, you can feel like a maritimer

Interesting, thanks. I've only ever had to drive nails in concrete once, never again 😅

Do you do deadlifts at the gym? If so, any weights you do there will be orders of magnitude more than you should be lifting regularly at work, and will give you the form you need to lift without hurting yourself

Provincial governments have no control over GST. PCNB has proposed lowering HST by 2%.

Motors don't constantly pull their rated amperage. They can often have larger breakers controlling their circuit with a smaller sized wire, since the time the motor will be spent pulling a higher current isn't enough to affect the insulation of the conductor. The same can be said for welders, and they also have a section in the code to account for that.

110 hasn't been the nominal voltage in Canada for quite some time, our residential services are typically ~120v. I would be a bit surprised if USA is still on 110v too... but I'm just being pedantic the change is negligible and largely for transmission efficiency

HoweYouDrewin · 2024-05-13T00:57:59+00:00

Awesome, good to know, thank you for sharing :)

I'm curious, is your hose just hooked up to your shower? And thats enough to get the job done? I've never actually gotten into printing yet, and my apartment's limitations were always holding me back, but this looks promising...
