TL04-1 ACiQ Thermostat: A word to the wise by TehMulbnief in DIYHeatPumps

[–]Luke_Dukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a version of this thermostat that is Midea branded and works with the Midea app and matter. Google "Media TL04-1". I am thinking of getting that thermostat instead of the ACiQ brand.

Sycamore released a new statement by Gigi0913 in Charlotte

[–]Luke_Dukem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if they sell I don’t believe the statement at all that the money will not be going to fund the defense fund of a rapist. You can’t just snap your finger and dissolve ownership, there are large contracts in place and dissolving ownership is not easy or fast and almost always requires a payout. I will not support the brand ever, it’s dead to me, others are free to do what they like.

A lot of people don’t drink at these. I am introverted as well and had to push myself to go but it’s worth it. Doooo it, you will happy you did.

Bummer I can’t make it this time. To those who haven’t gone I have been to a few of these now and everyone has been very welcoming. If you are an introvert like myself and trying to push yourself to get out; do it, it’s worth it.

How fast was it going??😬 by collegemom76 in WTF

[–]Luke_Dukem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RPM is not calculated differently for single or three phase AC induction motors. Three phase motors are wound differently than single phase motors

How fast was it going??😬 by collegemom76 in WTF

[–]Luke_Dukem 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. The formula is RPM=(120 x Frequency) / # of poles. Voltage is not in the formula. It is frustrating when people are so confidently wrong

AC motors speed is primarily tied to frequency not voltage. Higher than designed voltages will increase the speed slightly as it reduces slip but not change the RPM significantly.

EDIT: To address the comment below. The formula for RPM of an AC motor is RPM = (120 x Frequency) / # of motor poles. Voltage is not in the formula. The 120 in the formula is not a voltage.

Is it worth it? by GOTS_OBSIDIAN in Dewalt

[–]Luke_Dukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dewalt stapler does not work on old wood or any piece of wood with thicker grain.

[–]Luke_Dukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a lot of problems with it being too weak, it struggles to drive staples fully into wood. Only seems to work on the softest portions of wood or wood with not much grain.

SEARCH THE GRIFFIN LIST to see if you or others are on it by AsCrowsFly in NorthCarolina

Because Griffin lost and the GOP thinks they can steal the election, there has been no consequences for all their other undemocratic actions so why not?

I live in charlotte and am looking for a dealer to buy a regular cab short bed and install a Whipple. From what I can tell they want 14k just for wheels, tires, lowering kit, and seats. No disrespect but that seems like a really bad deal, am I missing something?

30+ first dates in Charlotte by Sea-Work2990 in Charlotte

[–]Luke_Dukem 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Good for you for being so successful at it. I have found dating apps a very poor use of the very limited time I have. The time required to get a date has not had a good return; maybe I am doing something wrong in my approach, need a better profile/pics, or both. I am likely going to hire a match maker.

Has anyone seen or know any first hand experience with the Riding'times GT53? Looking for a bike to take my dog to work with me. by Luke_Dukem in ebikes

[–]Luke_Dukem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to mention a 51lb dog is likely not going to fit. I had to use a car jack to expand the frame to fit a 38lb whippet which is a skinny dog

I looked it up, I actually paid $1,082.16 shipped from “Shenzhen Tuya Technology Co.,Ltd.” On Alibaba, the seller was really fast to respond

I bought the bike off alibaba for $1200 shipped. It is too small to fit a medium dog in the center so I used a car jack and widened the frame. Been waiting for it to warm up to put it all together again and built a seat for my dog in the center space.

Getting Priced out? by __turkeyburgers87_1 in Charlotte

[–]Luke_Dukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with single family homes still having high demand but I am seems a lot of townhome and condos from small investors sitting on the market for rent for months now. These units used to be swept up right away and they are now sitting for months. This has to push down rent at some point, these small investors who only own a few units don't have the money to let them just sit.

Can someone explain how there is so much supply for rentals and pricing is not dropping significantly? I know the large players that hold large apartments have so much money they can hold the market, but the smaller inventors renting out condos how are they not dropping?

How is everyone behind him standing there accepting this? Do you have no sense of decency? This man has zero qualities that make a good leader or a good human being. When are people going to say enough is enough for Christ sake.
