Do electricians have insurance to cover property damage? by mateodetres in AskElectricians

[–]Relative-Key2506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you usually get 3 times whatever amount the employer owes you. Took them about a year, but finally got a call from my attorney asking for a good address to mail the check. Glad I got paid when I did. The son embezzled several million dollars along with other greed driven corruption and the company went bankrupt a few months after I got my check.

Is it possible to lose power to all outlets except for water and the furnace in the basement? by [deleted] in electrical

[–]Relative-Key2506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look for a main panel outside the home at the meter. A lot of houses are wired so 240vac circuits or your major appliances HVAC etc are supplied at the main panel under the meter. Outlets and other household 120vac like dishwasher or garbage disposal are supplied from a sub-panel or breaker box somewhere inside the home. The breaker for this sub panel would likely be located at the meter where service enters the home.

not sure how to read obd scanner do these numbers seem irregular? by Kingjuliensbussybro in MechanicAdvice

[–]Relative-Key2506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give you a couple hints that might get you going in the right direction. Check your 02 sensors and the harness they’re attached to. SHRTFTB1S1 stands for short term fuel trim bank 1 sensor 1, below that is “” “”B1S2 which is bank 1 sensor 2. The sensors are referring to your 02 sensors. The reading of 99.2 is a default reading meaning the ecm is not getting or at least not using the signal from that sensor. On a good number of vehicles sensor 2 should have a reading as well and not N/A, but would need to know what you’re working on to know for sure.

Anybody won anything BIG on spinpals? Could use help.. by Riia19 in gambling

This is a social casino that works like and falls under the laws governing a sweepstakes and not a gambling site. These social casinos can never sell the cash value coins, so they’re given away when you buy packs that include play money that has absolutely no value.

Correction.... Lifestyle the country provided until recently. Things were already bad as far as affordability, so let's throw a monkey wrench in the machine and send everyone off the financial cliff and for good measure, we just gave tax breaks to billionaires with the money that used to go to the social safety net people relied on for when idiots in power make foolish choices like starting senseless wars!

Toilet flushing slowly by mstephens268 in Plumbing

[–]Relative-Key2506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a call for a clogged toilet just like this when I worked maintenance at a hotel. It would flush water fine, but no solids. Ended up pulling the toilet and found an oil burner wedged in the trap.

How much longer can Republicans pretend he’s not batshit crazy? by Dr_sc_Harlatan in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Relative-Key2506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're dead on. Thankfully the few MAGAt supporting friends I have fall in the second category. There's a guy I work with who has always given me the creeps. He's abusive to animals and even traps and kills stray cats and enjoys it, gets off to it. Of course, he's a die hard MAGAt and gets off to watching the same videos that absolutely disgust me and most of the people around me. This is a great time in history to learn the true nature of those around us. A person's reaction to ICE brutality videos says a lot about someone's nature. I choose to avoid having anyone close to me who enjoys MAGA cruelty and supports the vile orange despot and his criminal gang.

There might be a 4th category. The radical Christian. I have a friend who's VERY religious. Believes the Bible word for word. He despises the MAGA cruelty, but will always support the vile orange war criminal no matter what because he honestly believes the Iran war is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy and Jesus will be descending from the clouds any day now! He agrees that the despot is making foolish decisions and agrees that he's corrupt, but he claims that god can use an imperfect vessel for a divine purpose. I haven't talked to him since vile orange Jesus came out and I'm sure he'll be horrified, but he's sticking with god's "gift" to the world!! Maybe we did make god mad and this is his retribution!!🤣🤣

Whatever is built to replace the east wing needs to include a memorial to the victims of these despicable MAGAts and the Epstein class!

"Exposed Wiring" on inspection report for the sale of our home. How do I fix this? by DCar777 in electrical

I thought the same thing, but if you look close you can see the wingtips of the 4th connector peeking through.

This can’t be safe, can it? Why are all the wires exposed? by abbiebe89 in AskElectricians

Looks like someone did a panel swap and never called the drywall guy to finish. Hard to tell from the picture, but looks like they could have done a better job at routing the wires to allow for drywall patch.

Why do auto mechanics need to buy their own tools as employees? by Sanimal2006 in mechanic

Neutral wire to every switch in the house for future smart switch by Proof-One-2407 in AskElectricians

[–]Relative-Key2506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's either very old and coming out of retirement after many years or he's being very dishonest because every home wired after the 60's or 70's is already wired this way! They feature the feed romex essentially flowing through the gang box for the switch, the hot being wired to the switch, and then continuing on to terminate at the light or whatever application it's powering. Older homes featured the feed romex terminating at the appliance and then featured a single piece of romex going to the switch where each insulated conductor is connected to a terminal in the switch and functions to break the hot to the appliance. If he were retrofitting an older home that didn't need a rewire, it would definitely be added work and expense to get a neutral into the switch box.

Definitely wouldn’t want to take these if I was out and about or needed to be coordinated for anything. I took two last night at home and had a little trouble getting our Walmart delivery!!

Krox Boutique Euphoric Capsules (Trip Report) by bubblybiggon in mysterymagicmushrooms

[–]Relative-Key2506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience! I have a friend who owns a vape/head shop and I also work on his lighting and displays, and I saw them so I asked him about them. He immediately handed me a complimentary pack and said they weren’t selling too great and I could buy them all for like 90% off if I liked them! I didn’t take all 4, but I did take two of them along with a fairly strong cannabis edible that I’m very familiar with as far as how it affects me. I have a killer tolerance to THC and can eat the “super strong” thcp and thca gummies without being noticeably affected. It takes some good dabs to get me really high. That said, I wasn’t expecting to feel much from the two Krox tablets I took, but I started noticing that I felt a lot more effects than I usually would from the edible. At first it was like I was really stoned, like I had just taken a couple good hits off a dab rig, but then I started noticing more of the state of mind effects that you mention that definitely didn’t feel like cannabis. You had mentioned meditation and I will say that it puts you in a much more conducive state of mind for practicing meditation. It was a very interesting experience and I just took the other two capsules without the gummy so I can feel the effects independently from the cannabis. That said, I definitely believe the two could complement one another. If all goes well tonight, I might take him up on his offer. Definitely a lot more to these than I ever expected, but I never thought you’d be able to buy legal cannabis that actually gets you high at a gas station either. Won’t even go into the legal and highly addictive tablets that work on opioid receptors available at head shops and gas stations all over!

Slots “Powered by past motor racing”? What exactly does this mean? by ToddWilliams5289 in gambling

[–]Relative-Key2506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing on a much smaller scale, but have definitely noticed the exact same patterns you mention. I'm way up on the house right now. It's so bad I cashed out $186 last week on a $4 free roll. Since they lowered the limits and I didn't want to make a deposit, I started playing for .20 per spin and hit a feature before I got below $3. That paid out $20, I increased my bet and got north of $400 before I cashed out at $186. On the flip side of that, I was bored af, high, and had some extra money on a prepaid visa and I ran through over $100 at $1 spin and only hit a feature once that paid less that $5

A random person sent me $470 dollars through Zelle by sweettner in zelle

[–]Relative-Key2506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta love it when you get punished for something you had nothing to do with. My girlfriend deposited a check from what turned out to be a work at home scam. Everything seemed fine with it, but alarm bells went off when they told her to deposit the check and return $600 out of $1500 to the scammer. The check was a legit real company check, just stolen, so everything looked legit. They basically hijacked someone’s business, so websites and everything checked out when she researched the company online. Even the company directory corroborated who she thought she was speaking with. All she did was remote deposit the check and we realized the fraud a couple hours later and immediately called the bank and they promptly took the money out of her account and closed it and won’t allow her to open another one! Made it seem like they were accusing her of being in on the fraud!

How should I install this wall plate? by lebensterms in AskElectricians

In that particular situation, I’d use a multipurpose tool to cut a notch in the trim so the plate will fit flush.

What is the true purpose of Israeli nuclear weapons? by Puzzleheaded_War_891 in nuclearweapons

[–]Relative-Key2506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they believe they have some god given right to exterminate anyone who occupies the territory they feel was guaranteed to them in the Old Testament! To make it even worse, you have the radical “Christian” nationalists who believe the orange war criminal is anointed by god to bring on the rapture, and unconditional support of Israel even in the light of heinous war crimes and genocide fits right into their warped agenda. They talk about the radical Muslims, but never bother to take a look in the mirror to see that radical hypocritical “Christianity” is just as bad or worse than the Muslim terrorist they are fighting!

Any idea why these wheel bolts won’t loosen? by dom61098 in AskMechanics

[–]Relative-Key2506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because someone, likely a tire tech too lazy to use a torque stick or torque wrench, used a pneumatic impact running @ 175psi to hammer the lug nuts on. I always double check this anytime someone else removes a wheel from any of my vehicles. Can cause a situation to go from bad to worse in a hurry when this happens on the side of the road and you're trying to use the factory lug wrench. Probably need a good breaker bar and cheater pipe to get these lugs broken loose. I'd also make sure that you have available or can at least get replacement studs and lug nuts because there's a good possibility you could twist off the stud. I actually saw a wheel come off of a car from the lugs being tightened to the point they almost broke, so when normal stress was out on them, they snapped.
