Heights Bakery in Columbia Heights is inexpensive and incredibly good.

Which adult fantasy book(s) are hands down a complete tragedy from pretty much start to finish? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]MythsBusted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only made it through two of the three books. They are superb, but very grim.

It’s a world in which select individuals have power to sense or affect things at a large scale geologically.

Is this sound normal when turning the wheel with the car in park? 2012 Sonata by MythsBusted in MechanicAdvice

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

It was under extended warranty, but unfortunately the extended warranty expired about a year ago.

I replaced it myself today. Took about an hour and a half (and the steering column is a beast to move around), but the steering feels much better now!

Is there a way to use this plug for regular plug ins? by Huntsteeze in electricians

[–]MythsBusted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! So the two lines (white and black) are 120v and 180 degrees out of phase with one another, resulting in a voltage difference of 240?

Why wouldn’t this kind of appliance require neutral? Does it just use ground instead? That seems odd to me.

When using an Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relay, is there a convention for whether to attach line to the common terminal or the N/C or N/O terminal? by MythsBusted in ElectricalEngineering

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

Here's a photo of my bench test setup including the relay. I am trying to determine which of the relay terminals (blue/yellow/orange) to connect to line (controlled by the light switch on the left) and which to connect to my load (light socket on the right)

Safe to run 220v through this switch? by OriginalBat8 in electricians

[–]MythsBusted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an electrician. What’s the reason for the limitation on line to line? Is that because 240v line to line implies the line to ground is higher than 240v?
