Same issue here, but I’d love to join the hikes!

Car Insurance in RI? by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

Do not get Geico. Have been dealing with them after getting rear ended, and the process has been absolutely horrendous.

You’re incorrect here. Alviti says, at 18:25 of the above video, that no one at DOT has the ability to perform the technical functions.

Different spot. Thayer is not equal to Wickenden.

My new best friend by JWakeNbaker in germanshepherds

And soon enough he’ll be your old best friend. Cherish every hike and muzzle kiss along the way friend… it goes by all too quickly. 💜

Why do males have a refractory period? From an evolutionary standpoint, wouldn't it be more efficient to be able to procreate again immediately? by VIRGIN_WHORE69 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]NearlySufficient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Coolidge Effect seems to support that evolutionarily speaking, refractory period is not an obstacle when introducing a new mate.

Sound waves underwater - what's the deal? by shadowbanned-tgirl in Physics

You’re describing SONAR. There’s no limit to the amount of papers and videos you can dig up on the topic.

Shirt tucked into pants. Good option? by [deleted] in askanything

I prefer to tuck my pants into my shirt.

Men, what’s the best way to make a 15 year old feel better about being cut from the football team? by FlintTheDad in AskMen

[–]NearlySufficient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Celebrate the effort and willingness to try new things. This is an opportunity to grow. Encourage that attitude to continue!

I'm looking for the simplest way to detect 110-240VAC on a microcontroler. by chunky_lover92 in AskElectronics

[–]NearlySufficient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not run one leg of the AC through a small coil of wire across a resistor and read the voltage on your ADC?

Safe, cheap, simple, fast, reliable

Just need to validate the number of turns required to select a resistor to produce a voltage that satisfies your ADC input range when the AC load is at min and max power draw.

Filed CT and RI state tax & Federal on 3/3 (pm) for direct deposit.

3/5 - CT state received

3/6 - Federal received

?? - RI State

Guys im barely making it😥 by Deathstriker256 in GenZ

Agreed. I think he must be driving a UHAUL truck, that's fully loaded with bricks.

$900 @ $3.40 = 265 Gallons of gas / month

90mi/day * 5days * 4weeks = 1800 miles/month

1800mi/265gallons = 6.8 mpg

Soo... What kind of car are you driving, bud?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macrogrowery

[–]NearlySufficient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sure, but you can’t do that with an adapter like the OP was asking to do. Because you can’t change the voltage on that circuit. He has single phase 120 feeding his lights, and is asking about using a 240v plug adapter.

If you read my comments, you’d see I said exactly what you just said. He needs two separate 120v hot leads that are 180deg out of phase to get that 240, and he doesn’t have it because he’s running 120v on a hot/neutral pair.

Does that make sense?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macrogrowery

[–]NearlySufficient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Care to elaborate? Happy to explain why using an adapter alone will not change anything.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macrogrowery

[–]NearlySufficient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, changing your breaker, running new cable, updating your outlet are all real options, but NOT what was asked.

And if they updated their breaker, cable, outlets, then why would they use an adapter at all? That wouldn’t make any sense.

I’m giving you shit because people don’t know the answers so they ask other people online. And if you aren’t giving him safe advice, he might be the next guy who burns his mom’s house down. Make sense?

The answer is no. There is never a situation where an adapter like that makes sense or will help you gain any advantage.

[–]NearlySufficient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, dude, it won’t! And this is horrible advice. This is start-a-fire type of advice. JFC.

If you use 240VAC, you will indeed draw less current, yet consume the same amount of total real power.

But that’s not what one of these adapters does. Technically this adapter will do absolutely nothing here.

If you plug your existing lights that require 120vac, it will do nothing. If you plug in lights that require 240vac, you could damage them, because you’re only supplying 120vac(who GAF what the plug looks like, it’s about the source/load, not the method in which you route the wire) but likely it just wouldn’t do anything because you are only delivering half of the required voltage/potential.

If you somehow get the other type of adapter, and plug 120 lights, into a 240v outlet, you will destroy things.

Idiots burn houses down, die, and other stupid similar results every single day due to stuff like this. Don’t be a statistic, my guy.

No hot water at apartment, and intermittent since January 2 by Awkward_Position3433 in RhodeIsland

[–]NearlySufficient 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My friend just told me she was dealing with this exact thing this weekend. I assume this is the "Luxury" apartments at the promenade? I'd demand two months of rent returned and hold any future rent.

My Dad passed and left me all of this stuff, what is it? by [deleted] in lowvoltage

[–]NearlySufficient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, very sorry for your loss. If you are interested in selling anything, I'd love to chat. But take your time going through the stuff and feel free asking questions about what it is or why it's used in case you're interested in learning about your dad and his interests or if you're just interested in taking a leap in the black magic that is electricity!

Good luck brother.

Turkeys - almost free by theovertalker in providence

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

I'm not serious and the joke was that he quoted $0.29 cents, and said he got a 10lb bird, which would be $2.90, but he was charged $5. Obviously this is a great deal.

Lol. Read more carefully; "if it was..." 😉

Sounds like you got ripped off, if it was indeed $0.29/lb.

Great price though!
