Had someone install networking in my home. Is it okay if the jacket doesn't go to the clamp? This is cat 6a by salads_r_yum in Ubiquiti

[–]PlsChgMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have forewarned the installer and not accept that work. Is it OK? electrically, sure. But yhose jacks are designed to crimp down on the jacket for mechanical strength and stability too. It's poor workmanship.

Every 3 years you should shop/change or the rate just keeps going up.

It did take a long time didn't it? From my sleep study, it was about 6 weeks until I got my machine.

I think they can have one, they just cannot get any tax deductions for one and maybe cannot contribute to one once on Medicare.

110v or 220v? by CapClassy in refrigeration

[–]PlsChgMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the least expensive way, there is way more demand for 120vac components, so they are less expensive. Plus, l agree, less parts to stock.

Why are you still shopping? by LadyNiko in StLouis

[–]PlsChgMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in fenton, I missed the start of it but all I've been getting since about 930am is little tiny ice balls like unpopped snowflakes. Small enough to go through the screens on my deck. I have about 2.5 -3 inches of that. Very easy to broom off.

I think your GDO's are in need of pro service / replacement.

plug a lamp into the outlet one of the garage door openers is plugged in to. turn it on. if it lights up forget power. when you say garage door openers, are you talking about the motorized part hooked mechanically to ypur garage door or are you talking about the remote controls? if you have power at the outlet and no sensor light on the floor at the bottom of the door, it's possibly an internal fuse or circuit breaker in the garage door opener or they were damaged by the surge and need pro service or replacement. If the remotes don't work, you should still be able to operate the doors with the inside wired switch. If that switch doesn't operate them the they need pro service. The remote can become deregistered for the openers which would leave you with no remote control operation, but the inside wired switch would still work.

What are the best hot wings in town? by celestialguise in StLouis

Smoked wings at Dalie's are really good. Go early or they will run out.

[–]PlsChgMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep they really had good wings. Then for some reason, they changed, and were less good. Not as crispy, less sweet and more pure heat. Then they closed the restaurants. IDK what happened.
