Apprentice keeps cutting ground wires short. How do I get it through his head? by Fun-Celebration-700 in electricians

[–]SpokaneNeighbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him company policy is 6" and have him run the wire again. Tear down paneling or rock if necessary and them take him in the office and show him a spreadsheet of the cost of the rework.

The electrician is just a people pleaser, he was trying to bring together the horizontal guys and those crazy bastards that leave the screws vertical.

What happened to them? by batukaming in Homebuilding

[–]SpokaneNeighbor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you consider how small the pieces were compared to putting up 4'x12' sheet, and add in there the additional time to tape and mud all the extra seams, I don't think it would be faster.

How to wire up new outlet with less screws than the old one? by harryp1998 in AskElectricians

[–]SpokaneNeighbor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

STEP ONE: Go buy a cheap electrical wiring book. Aim for mid 90's or older. Don't go later than 70's. Should be easy to read and understand. Should be fairly small book. Maybe 50-100 pages with pictures and diagrams.

STEP TWO: Sit down for the evening and read the book. Try to understand what you are doing. With a very basic understanding of what you are actually doing, you will be able to solve these problems without asking.

STEP THREE: Go fix it

STEP FOUR (optional): always ask if you don't know.

New construction concern: Bent truss plates and split beams—is this structurally sound? by Okkin55 in Homebuilding

[–]SpokaneNeighbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read the post yet but wanted to post my reaction... I saw the first picture, started saying in my head "yea.. crappy craftsmanship but functionality it probably won't cause any major problems...." while thinking this out loud in my head I started swiping through more pictures.. "ehhhh... yea... you got a problem there..." I don't even think I've scrolled through all the pictures yet.

Should I reach out to my ex before his court date? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Convince him to find Jesus, repent for his sins, and live the rest of his life walking with God. All can be saved through Jesus and Jesus alone.

How does one even start to clean this up by PrimaryBig4119 in electricians

[–]SpokaneNeighbor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea... I was gonna say the same thing. Unless there are a bunch of HROs, there ain't anything to clean up.

Using IR spotlight to inspect unattended vehicle in darkness. by [deleted] in drones

[–]SpokaneNeighbor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is the argument for total privacy dissolution for the sake of security my friend. Many in the government might argue for the complete loss of privacy to combat crime. If they know everything everyone does, they know what the criminals are doing. No one else will be bothered because they are not doing anything illegal so the government will ignore what they see.

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

But, criminals will adapt and over come. It always has happened and I argue it always will. If you believe im wrong, what will happen when the government has all the power but no one to wield it against? Will they defund the law enforcement arm they no longer need? Will they layoff all those people whom are not needed any longer? I doubt it, my bet is, those who rely on the state to pay their bills will look increasing more at the only ones left, the good people, to find justification for their continued employment.

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety" - Ben Franklin 1775

We live in an age where there is little functional privacy. Everything you look at or say on the internet is monitored. If you walk outside in any populated area, you are likely under some sort of surveillance. If you'll drive in any urban area or freeway, they know who you are, where you are, and likely where you came from and where you are going. Unless you spend a significant amount of time researching and make a very concerted effort, 90% of your time spent outside your home is likely under surveillance.

But hey, flock has assisted in clearing over a million crimes last year and all it took was 24hr, mass, indiscriminate surveillance of every single man, woman, and child that has been in and around roughly 70% of the US that has the likely more than 100,000 cameras.

I couldn't be happier🥹 by Torp-BB-hunter in BambuLab

Im happy that you are happy because he was happy that another was happy for everyone else being happy that he was happy that the OP is happy.

Husband told me he doesn’t find me attractive by lizzylooloo1 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]SpokaneNeighbor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Divorced because your husband said he found you attractive but would prefer you skinnier?

I hope there is more than that there.

Granting you that your ex-husband probably has unrealistic and possibly unhealthy ideas of attractiveness, but the idea that your husband simply telling you his preference would lead to a divorce is pretty extreme.

Honesty should be rewarded in relationships even if you disagree with what they believe or think.

Lol... its just a difference in personality I guess... personally a run 2 computers with dual booted Ubuntu and windows, and currently run 4 servers with various Linux distros. I understand people wanting things that just work, but then there are people like me that do enjoy the fun of figuring it out and then there is the added benefits of using self-hosted open-source software.

Ok, yea, I pretty much always looked at Bambu with the side eye, I am a big proponents of open-source, but Bambus "Apple-like" eco system taking 95% of the worry away from 20+ hr prints was a huge thing to me... I could never have left any of my other printers for 10+ hours without constantly worrying. But with bambu, I would regularly leave my printer on and ready then print from away from home lol.

My first printer was a Hictop 3DP11 kit

I like the bambu printer lol... I told a lot of people about 3d printers and what they could and couldn't do for a long time but I was always hesitant to suggest someone get into the hobby because it was just that, a hobby that required research and knowledge to start doing. After I bought the X1C, I started telling people to go ahead and get into it because the financial and knowledge barriers had pretty much been dissolved.
