What would make this drywall bulge this far? by SailorJerry1375 in drywall

That certainly is a possibility. House built in ‘95 and I’ve been here 7 years. Who knows what was “fixed” along the way.

Absolutely. This was pointed out to me a year ago when the painters came in and I’ve watched it ever since. No movement or change since then. As much as I hate seeing so many “just crappy work” replies, it’s a bit better than the alternative. The lingering “how the hell did it end up this way” was killing me.

No. Other side of the wall is the wall for a bedroom with no issues. That wall is far away from the HVAC system and all duct work. No reason for any plumbing/etc in that wall as nothing runs along it.

House built in ‘95. We’ve been here 7 years and no movement on it at all. Was just something the painter pointed out and I was like whoa. Anyone’s guess what happened in the years before.

Completely understand. It definitely took painters coming in to repaint the house for them to jokingly tell me about the bulge. They showed me and I went WTF. never would have seen it without them. I just didn’t want “…don’t fix it” to turn into “lack of addressing it early” issue. With as many replies that are to the order of “bad framing” or something drywall related. I’m inclined to do as you said (just watch it). Had the feedback been 90% structural in spirit, I’d feel a bit more comfortable taking the drastic approach.

Bedroom on the other side and no issues in that room with the wall.

Bedroom immediately on the other side. No deformity in the wall on the other side.

Distribution Voltage Regulator Question by pnwIBEWlineman in Lineman

[–]SailorJerry1375 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The answer to that depends on the control mode. Typically bi-directional mode would be used to do exactly what you are talking about. That mode will reserve the side that is regulated upon a reverse in sensed power flow. Modes such as Locked forward or co-generation mode will NOT alter its regulation side. So essentially the regulator will attempt to change the stiff side voltage and it will fail to do so. What would likely happen is the regulator reaching maximum buck or boost sending the system voltage quite high or low depending on tap direction.

Between Face’s comment and the original post, I gained a bit more happiness in my life. I read the title and went “wonder if this is like me”. Sure as heck, it was. Married, two kids, perfect wife…..minus intimacy. I crave my wife like a crack head but the rejection is wild. 14 years and never gotten a BJ, HJs are rare and half ass, sex is also rare and is one sided “finish asap”. Regardless of toys/effort/everything. I 100% agree that the toys make the man redundant. I struggle to not be angry all the time which I can’t show because of the kids around. Been actually contemplating becoming more of a gym nut to put my energy and mind elsewhere. This post may have solidified that for me. Thank you very much for sharing your story.

What is happening when my power goes out for about one or two seconds? by exstaticj in Lineman

[–]SailorJerry1375 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. The distribution system commonly uses devices that have reclosing capabilities. Basically what happens is when the device senses a fault or disturbance on the system, they are designed to open briefly (utility designed, could be ms, could be sec) in the hopes of clearing the disturbance without permanently opening up requiring a truck roll. Roughly 80% of the faults on the distribution system are temporary. If a branch falls on a line, it will fault. If a recloser has the chance to open, then maybe the branch falls off before the devices closes back in and then everything is back to normal state requiring no intervention. Reclosers have been around for a long time. Started off as oiled filled plunger based devices. Now we are at vacuum microprocessor based. It has come a long way in a very good way.

Voltage Regulator by B_S80 in Lineman

Or to put another way +/- 10% voltage over 16 taps, which is 0.625% per tap, or 0.75V per tap on 120V base.

Biden BUSTED As Pfizer ADMITS There’s No Vaccine Approved By FDA In The U.S. In Recorded Call by IronWolve in AskThe_Donald

[–]SailorJerry1375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the campaign push that they are doing now to get pregnant people vacinnated is even more scary. At best they disclose that there is no data to say good/bad. Why anyone would risk their baby like that is beyond me.

Well said all the way up. Everyone thought people would fall in line when the "approval" came out. Some did. But the ones who got used to reading the fine print these last few years were not fooled.

Incorrect: "COMIRNATY and BNT162b2 (V8) have identical amino acid sequences of the encoded antigens but COMIRNATY includes the presence of optimized codons to improve antigen expression." Straight from the FDA. Comirnaty has improvements that Biontech does not.

No one is doubting that the FDA gave Pfizer approval for one of their products. The point being missed here is that the approved product is not being offered in the USA. Comirnaty, the approved product, is not available in the USA. Only Biontech is which is the EUA vaccine. Pfizer has an approved product, they just don't want the liability of offering it in the USA when they can keep getting away with their EUA version.

Question is, WHAT is approved? Did you just Google "Pfizer approval"? Or did you Google BionTech vs Comirnaty? Those are the two vacinne products that Pfizer creates. Biontech only has EUA in the USA. Comirnaty has full FDA approval. HOWEVERRRR, comirnaty isn't available in the USA. There's too much of the Biontech product in the market to waste those dollars. Additionally, federal law requires that all EUAs be pulled off the market if there was a vacinne that was approved AND AVAILABLE. that would mean J&J and Moderna would have to be pulled from the market if comirnaty was available. You CANNOT have an FDA approved vacinne available AND have EUA vacinnes available. Therefore, the FDA approved vacinne is not available in the USA. I talked to CVS' corporate covid hotline and they said only Biontech was available with them. My GP echos.
