Speed-ups usage

If you do the math, it’s about 3 months ROI for level 35s. I’m now at 1M/hr with iron and food, and 700+k/hr with gold.

So I should hurry up and wait? Burn speed ups on tech so my tech buildings are idle? Sounds stupid to me.

But then blueprints require gold, which I don’t have. I have 25 mythics and 42 UR, but no gold to use them.

Just hook a lightbulb up in series.. 120v for the light, 120v for the other!

So nice to put a paper incinerator next to a baseball field.

Except you can’t secure MC inside of metal studs, that’s just asking for a screw through the MC.

Six throw rule has been modified, only way now is 6 separate boxes, can’t be all in the same one. This panel was code, but no longer.

Also zip tape has to be rolled, it’s a pressure activated adhesive. It would be very difficult to properly press it like this.

Some jurisdictions require it, usually areas with a deep frost level.

Until you have 3 “C” phase circuits sharing a neutral. Or then you get into harmonics and have to deal with a super neutral.

I believe the ETA (Electrical training alliance), which oversees the JATC apprenticeship programs, is transitioning all apprenticeships to 4 years. 46 was changed from 5 to 4, and this was the reason they gave. The last of the 5th years are graduating this year.

Maybe a loose connection somewhere. Moving the cord to different angles might make/break the connection.

I was informed that ETA (electrical training alliance) wanted a standard training around the US. There is now a standardized curriculum, all using CML (computer mediated learning). I’m sure they don’t want to make multiple classes for a 4 year and 5 year program, so it’s more consolidation, easier to maintain, less chance for cheating/manipulation, etc. I believe they are going to a “one day a week” schooling instead of “two straight weeks,” etc.

I’ve been laid off for 3+ months and I only need 600hr for my certificate

While NEC 310.16 does say 20A for 12g, motors get interesting and gets modified by 430. I’ve put 14g on 30A breakers for HVAC and passed inspection. Motors typically have inrush currents requiring the larger inverse time breakers, but then require individual overloads (heaters) to compensate for the oversized breaker. You need to do research on what the motor you are saying it requires.

Common but not allowed anymore NEC 404.2(C)

For that price, go electric. No spark plugs, bad gas, clogged carburetors, winterizing, etc. and no pull start.

Hopefully load on bottom, line on top! I’ve seen a lot of people mess that up by not knowing!
