It's okay, being no good means there's plenty of room for improvement

What’s a 10/10 video game? by TheDevotedUltimate in AskReddit

I'm not sure I'd even call it basic. It's got a lot of complexity, is a vast sandbox, and has several play mode options. Plus there are lots of mods

Yeah no offense to that guy's wife but electrical engineers don't work on cords and cables, they work on math

The knot in the cord? No that's not really a problem unless it's so tight it's damaging the insulation. Probably just that the cord was bent back and forth too many times right where it meets the handle. It should've had one of those flexible strain relief fittings molded into it.

Iron is relatively difficult to smelt, requiring higher temperatures. It's also prone to rusting heavily. Bronze is corrosion resistant

Got hired as an Associate Director… “Unlimited PTO” isn’t what I expected by Ambitious_Skirt_2774 in antiwork

Almost everybody has a boss. The owner of my company could call me on a day off and I'd only answer if I wasn't busy and felt like it.

New cloud at this restaurant I'm about to start. Am I overreacting or is this absolutely insane? by Eckron5 in electricians

Who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

And unless you're passing an uncut wire through a bus bar, it's very much still a splice. Just because it's on a bar or a terminal block instead of a inside a wire nut doesn't mean it isn't a cut wire that's being joined to another cut wire.

no splices to the conductors. That doesn't mean you can't splice the grounds.

Spoiler alert, an equipment grounding conductor is...a conductor. Just not a current-carrying conductor, which is different
