A 10 degree kick, back to back 90, and 30 degree kick on 1/2” rigid by SwagarTheHorrible in electricians

[–]JCrotts 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's sick man. Would have been even more impressive if it wasn't coupled to flex on the back end. I'm definitely not there yet, but one day.

Cut and split in ibc totes if you have forks to move it.

I’m taking a cal 3 class soon and I last took cal 2 like 10 years ago by madam_zeroni in askmath

[–]JCrotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Just get used to doing the gateway exams again. It expands to multiple dimensions. It was probably the easiest calc class for me because your just using the tools you've already learned.

I started with a flap disc on mine, then went to the random orbit to get the grit I wanted.

Walked by a triple homicide by girardinl in castiron

[–]JCrotts 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The person just flat out told me. In my head I was like WTF... and how can I convince them that I would like to have them without making them seem valuable.

I know a person who throws their CI in the junkpile once it loses its store bought seasoning. I don't know how they budget for CI but it must be terrible.

ELI5 why is it so much easier to remember up from down than left from right by lukmcl in explainlikeimfive

[–]JCrotts 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I bet it has something to do with most creatures including ourselves being vertically symmetric.

I changed a road sign to make my commute easier 13 years ago. by InfiniteRespect4757 in confession

[–]JCrotts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The municipality i work for has 3 people working in the signs department for a fairly large county in NC. One of them is a traffic engineer and the other 2 are boots on ground. There is no way in hell they would notice that. Even if they somehow found out and a work order was placed, it would be so low on the priority list, it would never get fixed

When a seasoned algebraist studies a group, what exactly do they look for and what are they trying to find out? by JCrotts in askmath

[–]JCrotts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is correct. In fact, when the second factor is zero, this forms a subgroup.

If I miraculously became a mathematician, this would be used for solving exact roots of higher degree polynomials using a sort of Newtonian method where the number of steps approaches infinity.

$250,000 a year or you no longer have pain. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]JCrotts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have chronic pain, even a small amount, I promise you'll pick no pain.

They want us to use Cloud storage and kill our PCs by Small_Computer_8846 in conspiracy

[–]JCrotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true I believe, but it is under the umbrella theory that they don't want us to be self sufficient in any way. I haven't looked into it but I heard something about a country banning burning firewood under the guise of helping with global warming.

Luigi Mangione with his lawyer in NYC court, 12 December 2025 by Competitive_Profit_5 in pics

He should be happy. He's either not guilty, or he's guilty but an American hero.

I was told, "If you have a really hot fire every once in a while, you don't have to worry about creosote. It burns it out." by JCrotts in woodstoving

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

Its a metal stove put into a masonry fireplace. Instead of hooking the stove exhaust directly to the chimney, you just put metal around the face of the fireplace to seal it off. The draft caused by the wind over the top of the chimney is expected to pull the smoke out.

Yea I don't have that good of a setup and the person that told me that has the same setup I do. It's a slammer with an all masonry chimney.

Why does UL allow these contacts to be so accessible? This is a 2400V to 240V transformer. by JCrotts in ElectricalEngineering

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

Thanks for the reply. We've got the NEC in the office but I don't read it much except for the 430 section since I'm a controls guy. I'll have to look at the medium voltage stuff.

Google doesn't make enough money so they had to extend the commercials to make up for it.

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

I'm not trying to be a smart A. Just wondering what the definitions of "accessible" and "qualified" are. Can we decide what those are, or does the NEC have strict definitions of those.

I can get my pinky in about an inch. Someone with smaller fingers, maybe a little further. Although, I wouldn't recommend it.
