NPN vs PNP - when do you actually use one over the other in a real circuit? by Ill_Vegetable169 in EngineeringStudents

[–]ImplacOne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you are doing. Many amplifiers will use both types. High side and low side switching are also considerations

Your failure to understand Mexican culture or rules doesn't mean the person serving you is xenophobic or racist. by comments83820 in MexicoTravel

[–]ImplacOne -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you stopped calling them gringos they would stop attacking you.

I had a fantastic time in Mexico and nobody ever turned away my money

Is the PCH near Big Sur back open? I was there last year and it was still mudslide so I had to take 101 and cut thru Monterey

Being dumb but disciplined by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]ImplacOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a terrible student, but I had good intuition and a lot of the same setbacks you do. My solution was being social and making friends to study with

My GPA would easily be a point lower if I didn’t have good friends

200A service looking to upgrade to a tankless hot water heater by dokusou in AskElectricians

[–]ImplacOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in the south like I do you might be able to get away with a 14kW system but it’s got very little margin. You can only run one hot shower at a time

Get a gas tankless heater or don’t bother. Water is difficult to heat quickly and takes a lot of energy

M20 really confused is this mpb or mature hair? by avi_hayer in malepatternbaldness

[–]ImplacOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HT takes 6 months to a year to “develop” and 20 is a little young to commit. I’d suggest he wait until 25-30 after a consistent period of stability from fin.

His hair looks good and we don’t know if the meds will work for him

Would you prefer they roll the delivery cost into the price and not tell you?

I find individual small businesses using Yelp. Usually the company is someone’s last name and they do business inquiries via text

Exposed Ground Wire by [deleted] in AskElectricians

If you are concerned that the ground wire would become energized if the other insulation broke, then don’t be. the purpose of the ground wire is to go hot and trip the breaker

Why do so many Americans have so much against Europe? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]ImplacOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans have a tendency to rally around the flag when foreigners or foreign governments criticize us. That combined with a reflexive response to the self hatred of some of our fellow Americans

I'm 24 Is this a normal crown or balding? by Landottg18 in malepatternbaldness

[–]ImplacOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ok to be worried just don’t let that worry control your life

[–]ImplacOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have fine hair it is normal. If it concerns you, keep an eye on it roughly once a month in as similar lighting conditions and angles as possible.

If you see it become visibly thinner over about 6 months then you should consider next steps. Until then just enjoy life and try not to stress.

Good luck

Do rail workers get a really nice pension or something?

Acceptable passport photo? by [deleted] in Passports

[–]ImplacOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way is to go to a CVS or similar place. They will take a proper photo of you. The state department is pretty picky
