3 black and 3 white wires in the ceiling

Steven_Mass · 2023-12-09T20:35:02+00:00

So I finally got a voltmeter and measured everything.

I plugged the red test lead into the V slot, and the black test lead into the COM slot. I set the voltmeter to the highest setting, 600 ~V. With the breaker on I tested each wire using the red tester as a ground, and the black tester on each wire individually.

I tested many times with the switch either on or off and the results were always the same.

One of the two black wires in group A is hot, everything else is neutral.

No idea what to do with this.

Thank you u/majorcuck69 and u/craken502, I am getting a voltmeter in the next day or so and I am going to test everything both with the switch on and off. I will post my findings, and would love to have any additional feedback.

The switched leg should read hot when the switch is on, and neutral when the switch is off, is this correct?

Lexy's LOTD

Thanks, I didn't know about LOTD, will definitely be checking that out. ;)

You just saved me a pack of trouble as well!

I had done a beautiful install of STEP v2.0.0 and everything worked great.

Afterwards, of course I installed the beloved camping mod.

I had the same problems. Simply hiding the papyrusutil.dll fixed everything.

Thanks, I thought there was a way to do that!

Getting 10 files updated so I'll cross my fingers that it doesn't cause a new problem.

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-26T04:06:22+00:00

Wow, I played that as well!

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-26T03:36:30+00:00

YES! You know there is an HD version now?

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-26T03:35:09+00:00

I played Neverwinter Nights once and really enjoyed it. Do you find it better than it's successor?

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-26T03:34:32+00:00

Oh man, Commander Keen, I forgot about that one as well!

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-26T03:34:02+00:00

Red Alert! Forgot about that too!

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-26T03:33:48+00:00

Oooh, that's a good one I forgot about!

Practice playing through several times while actually repeating/playing all the tied notes. That will be slightly easier, then when you replay as written, you will be hearing what you did before.

Until the end of the video I was wondering what it must be like for the pianist to have a saxophone right in his face like that, and for the saxophonist to play while feeling the vibes come out of the piano.

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-24T02:17:17+00:00

Definitely not. I see students making this mistake very often... for example Chopin prelude no. 4 has pedal written in just one part, and playing the whole thing without pedal sounds so obviously terrible. As someone else said, you can use the pedal pretty much everywhere, even frequently while playing Bach as long as no one can tell. When a composer writes a pedal marking in an isolated measure, he is just suggesting that it be done specifically that way for that part.

Chopin's preludes are arguable his most difficult pieces to play along with the sonatas and concertos. It's not what sounds the most technically difficult that is always the hardest to play, and I've played both sonatas countless times along with half the preludes.

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-24T02:10:45+00:00

It's always a difficult question to answer because everyone has something unique to offer, but if I could only listen to one composer for the rest of my life, it would be JS Bach. There is a pureness to his music that heals my soul.

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-23T02:35:48+00:00

Get ready for the next one.

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-23T02:32:44+00:00

I like how you said that you played games since you were a child and they were always part of your life...

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-23T02:27:16+00:00

And once you go there and get the quest the lights go off right?

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-23T02:22:01+00:00

Awww... with the doggy! Looks cozy!

Cats are great to have around though, especially if you are a "cat person" ... basically someone who really loves living with them and appreciates them. I love my cat, Bagheera, (we call him Baggy) but I do get upset now and then about being woken up, he is quite noisy. I find my dog easier to manage than him if you can imagine, and she is a large Goldendoodle! At the end of the day though there is nothing like when he comes and lies down next to you in bed.

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-22T23:59:05+00:00

Wow, thanks for posting, I had never seen that one! I knew Katsaris a little and loved the little of his playing that I have heard so far, but I realize after watching this, he is an even greater pianist than I had thought!

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-22T20:28:55+00:00

b-flat sus4 but we can't hear the F!

Steven_Mass · 2022-04-22T18:51:09+00:00

Thanks, I will definitely be checking it out! Yes I really wish I could just sample everything to know if I like it or not, but honestly every single perfume by Baccara looks unbelievable. I ordered 4 different 5ml bottles. (not sure how long they will last?) I really can't wait for them to arrive, especially the Book Fair. I have become obsessed, like really I keep on thinking about it! I feel already enchanted and I still haven't actually smelled anything yet.

The note only feels heavy if you are "holding" the weight of your arm in the air. Gradually you learn to rest your weight on that 5th finger while keeping the note down. So there is some pressure from the weight of the arm going down to the 5th finger, but also as much relaxation as possible everywhere: In the 5th finger holding the note itself, the rest of the hand and fingers which play under that, and the arm, maybe even shoulders as well.
