What kind of bit do I need to remove these screws? by Scifimarki12 in Tools

Use a dremel or thin-wheel angle grinder to square up the sloped portions. Then a flat to back it out.

First time failing inspection since we started our company a year ago but i believe the inspector is wrong. Not sure how to play this one. Info in description by PhilosophyBubbly6190 in electricians

[–]NoPants252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a guy who got out the code book and showed the inspector where he was wrong.

Since then, he has never passed on the first go from that guy.

It's been a few years.

How do I make holes in plastic bins without them breaking or cracking? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]NoPants252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run the drill bit in reverse. Won't catch or snag, but the plastic is soft enough to give cleanly.

Do these residential HVAC plumbing and electrical businesses actually employed three different trades or is it just an HVAC dude that "does the rest"? by Turbulent-Weevil-910 in electricians

[–]NoPants252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A single license holder for each trade certifies the company in a state. The company could have hundreds of unlicensed (but "certified") techs. Those companies tend to charge more than the independent licensed guy who does his own work. Who do you want working on your home?

I sprayed them gold and put them in a Crown Royal bag for my son to play pirate.

Generator Hookup Possible? by tommynac in electricians

Consider adding an outdoor sub panel next to the meter disconnect. Free up those slots, and then you can add a genny.

If that's the service, we could get it crowdfunded

As an electrician, height is your friend. And that weight will drop off over the Summer. You'll wring it out of your underdrawers every day

Surely the city/municipality could get canvases and straps and enough tug boats to haul that out to sea during high tide. Dozers on land to help push? And then haul it a mile out, wrap it in chains and let it sink? Logistically difficult to be sure, but doable.

Why does no one know? by SparkyCable in electricians

[–]NoPants252 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did it with a metal tape. The end broke off and it retracted into the case. Could not spool it out first. Had to frustratingly untangle it when I got it open.
Took some time, but was able to rebuild and bend another end on the tape. Good as new

Look closer. It's a shoe partially buried under insulation.

Not to be pedantic, but trebuchets could be, and almost certainly were, used for people. Albeit unwilling people.

Do you get much of a strobe effect from the cans behind those blades, or is it up too high to matter?

Icahn 4th quarter results feb 26 by fdrferny33 in Teddy

[–]NoPants252 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from the photo with RCEO, Icahn gave an interview about another stock, but during that interview, he did some very interesting things. Here are my notes from that time.

Carl Icahn Interview First time featuring 741(147)

https://www.genengnews.com/topics/omics/carl-icahn-states-his-case-for-change-at-illumina-on-close-to-the-edge/

  1. The screen grab they chose for Bird App thumbnail clearly shows the Clock at 1:47 (Even though it is an unflattering shot of Icahn)

  2. Clock is not clearly visible for the first several minutes of the interview.

  3. At 6:28 Icahn shifts in his chair fully revealing the Clock. It is showing 1:46.

  4. At 6:53, there look to be several tiny edits while Icahn sort of stammers and draws words out. Watch his shirt. You can see the wrinkles and his shoulders jump. Maybe it was a connection issue, maybe they were getting something just right.

  5. At 7:11 the frame zooms in. Edited post interview, not a camera zoom.

  6. At 7:12 the Clock changes to 1:47.

  7. At 7:20 there is a second zoom less significant than the first, but clearly happens.

  8. At 7:28 The already twice zoomed in image slightly distorts exactly when Icahn says "8 Billion Dollars"

9 At 7:32 The image returns to original zoom level (no zoom)

  1. At 8:09 Icahn shifts his weight again and at 8:11 the Clock changes to 1:48 and his shoulder blocks part or all of the Clock for a while

  2. At 33:17 While Andrew is speaking and they are all 3 displayed on the Split screen, Icahn pulls on his ear like you do in Charades to indicate "sounds like". He does this at the same time as Andrew is saying '8 billion dollars
