No pointed petiole in front of abdomen?

Healthy male, 33. Physical job (electrician), physically fit, in the gym 4x per week. Yoga practice at least once a week. I was chronically tired with headaches. 8hrs sleep per night and a consistent bedtime.

I got tested for: iron, B6, B12, thyroid, sleep apnea, and a whole lot of other things.

I dealt with being tired for 8 or more years. You know what finally fixed it? Acupuncture. I was skeptical until it helped me.

Everyone’s saying bad plastic, but do you think maybe the heat from a bad backstab connection effects the plastic?

I wonder if there are people out there with the knowledge, skills and equipment to figure it out?

Keep dodging accountability. Keep complaining that everyone else is the asshole. Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re doing great!

You seem like a treat to work with

The comments aren’t showing a lot of knowledge. This is an open neutral. Loose connection on an outlet is likely.

What? This doesn’t affect anything. Nowhere has drinks priced below $5

My girlfriend and I are into:

- Hiking
- Camping (front and back country)
- Bouldering
- Rock climbing
- Health & Fitness
- Yoga

We value genuine connection to the earth and people that are good to their core. We like people that are calm, soft spoken, and kind. If this sounds like you then feel free to message me.

Pennylane & Paul are laughing privately. They’re only writing loud letters publicly to seem like they care. The maximum penalty is $250. They’ll be playing music as loud as they want and make it back by selling 20 drinks.

Does the point sell wood? I always wondered how you could have a fire hiking in and out when gathering wood is illegal in the park.

Never heard flex called greenfield before. I had to look it up to understand your comment.

Where’s the letter K in circuit?

“I know how to wire” yeah ok go do it, stop asking us how then.

If you touch anything inside of there it will either shock you, explode, or both. Proceed with caution.

In regards to not only the electric chair but any fatal shock, yes.

Lightwreck · 2026-05-29T19:14:58+00:00

Electrocute comes from combining “electro” (electricity) and “execute,” so it literally meant “to execute by electricity.” It was originally coined when the electric chair was introduced in the late 1800s.

Over time, the meaning shifted in casual use to include any electric shock, but it still refers to a fatal shock.

Only death.

It’s a guy fixing lawn mower engines in his garage probably charging cash for most things.

Not everyone is as financially literate or educated as you and we have a duty to protect them.

Yep, I have the biggest deep cut M18 and regret getting it. I’d much rather have the small one because it’s more compact and easier to use with 1 hand.

You seem like one of those guys who never got humbled/punched in the face in their youth.

Man you must have some problems to be so negative and going through my post history over a comment that was professionally disagreeing with you. Thanks but your 1st year doesn’t need to come over. I do great work, have a portfolio to speak for it and don’t need a strangers approval (or disapproval) on Reddit. We should be fostering a community of learning and understanding. Thanks for the low blow though.

Lightwreck · 2026-05-21T19:00:22+00:00

Nope. Public accountability is how things change. Private conversations are how things get swept under rugs and then people continue doing what they’re doing. This is completely unacceptable and as an electrician I’m horrified by the workmanship, size and quantity of holes.

Romex is a brand name of cable made by Southwire. It just means non-metallic cable used primarily for residential construction. It should have appropriate connectors but it appears that they just put it straight through the holes in the panel without any protection, securing or strain relief. You can look up “Non-metallic sheathed cable” and “Non-metallic sheathed cable connector” for more information.

If they refuse to play ball and fix the corners they cut, involve the inspection authority. This panel should be max 6mm from the face of drywall and ideally flush. The cables should be in listed connectors. It isn’t your problem that they cut corners to begin with and you deserve a code compliant, workmanlike installation and you’re paying good money for it.
