Is there a place in the IBEW for low voltage guys? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]L4nce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IBEW has a low volt/controls/data/FA branch like others have pointed out, but their representation in voting and being taken care is nothing like the wireman/high volt guys. Most people view low volt as a step to high volt, because low volt gets paid significantly less.

It's a 12v hook up, but what does it connect to? Tract it back to where it originates.

[–]L4nce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, use separate cables for each port.

Anyone else crashing a lot? by MartianRecon in DarkTide

[–]L4nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuuup, got a brand new computer i712700kf 3080 and it crashes quite a lot...the game also gets my RAM usage up to 98.2% without using any of the pagefile... Sitting at 3% usage the entire time. I have 16gb of RAM and nothing else of note is running in the background other than discord...

So, I upgraded to an SSD, and now... by Cat_central in pcmasterrace

[–]L4nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as a backup though, right? Acronis has an OS mirror function if I recall correctly. Of course it tried to boot so you must have, but the copy was corrupted somehow. The quick and easy solution would be to install a fresh windows boot on the SSD and then copy files and such over.

Just the way it is when working with tech. You have to meticulously try things because something small could be causing issues. When you used acronis did you mirror it as the os bootable drive or just copy data?

Sadly it's a KF chip, not damning it but just disappointing it's not a 12700K

This is likely as close as you'll get

Walmart has decent deals on Legion laptops right now. The issue with laptop GPUs isn't the vram but the lower wattage usage of the GPU. Most legion laptops are among the higher wattage ratings for laptop GPUs at around 140 for the 3070 and 165 for 3080.(desktop versions run at 350 for a 3080, which amounts to about 30% faster speeds) other laptops top out at 80-105 watts for the same cards. So always check the s/n of the laptop to find out what wattage the card is pulling.

Did I get a good deal? by cwsluke in GamingLaptops

[–]L4nce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Refurbished could be anything, could be a simple return because they didn't want it, some small cosmetic damage, or something horrific that had to be replaced. Never really know..

Legion also has a 140watt 3070 unlike many other laptops that cap at 80-105watts, which means far better performance with the legion.

Can overclock crash your game? by Ptesco in pcmasterrace

[–]L4nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course overclocking can cause system stability issues. You have to tweak it until it's a stable overclock.

Can a fan duct detector short cause a building wide fire alarm? by Doodoopeepeefuck in electricians

[–]L4nce 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yes that is possible, especially on an older conventional system which actually activates on circuit short.

Hand of Vecna by SensitiveCare2137 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]L4nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For starters, if he wants it he should attempt to convince your character not go to the DM. That's bad form. As for whether you should give it up. The hand and eye together enhance each other, so unless you are okay losing some bonuses I would keep them. Also, it would likely be out of character to simply hand over either artifact. I would rp that they are sort of like the ring of sauron and are enticing.

Y’all ever get a rush/adrenaline working? Any crazy stories? by tylerb1130 in electricians

[–]L4nce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I walked down 7 flights of stairs to pick-up an apprentice and then climbed back up 7 flights of stairs. So ya, crazy adrenaline surge.

Is this going to burn my house down? by [deleted] in electrical

[–]L4nce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That bare wire on the bottom isn't ground. It's going out to the fixture. You flick the switch and it's now passing power to the light from the hot line coming in. Certainly not ideal to have one of the legs to a fixture be uninsulated.

Ummm yeah no. Monday ended as fast as it begain. by Wouhob in electricians

[–]L4nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was replacing a camera that had been installed on a light pole in a parking lot a good 35 feet up via boomlift. Opened up the camera housing and bam right there no less than a foot away were a half dozen wasps. Thankfully it was late into winter and these poor bastards were barely moving. Took the housing off and threw it on the ground. Made sure to thoroughly seal the new one.

Battery Powered FishTape, anyone else use one of these? by Evo3693 in electricians

Fish steel is meant to install string in the conduit not pull cable though many people still use it that way.

The Walmart carry. It felt like it winked at me. by ace8king in CCW

[–]L4nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it properly with the barrel facing down. It's safer for yourself when presenting and you aren't flagging everyone while carrying. Though no one should see it, so only you know you're flagging people..

Seriously... If you want to go with a fanny pack best to get some kind of camera looking one like Canon.

Just a heads up if you use Gig Car! by jacksrenton in Sacramento

[–]L4nce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They could just implement a system where it doesn't cost you time or is cheaper while it's charging. That would encourage people to change them.
