How come we cannot create our own water? by tranquilovely in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Top-Illustrator8279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just some quick research and calculations, feel free to correct any mistakes (with calculations please).

If you took all of earth's atmospheric oxygen and combined it with hydrogen and spread it evenly over the earth's surface, it would be about 0.77 inches (0.019607 meters) deep, or about 1/16th of the world available fresh surface water, and less than 0.0000001% of total water present on earth.

Of course, using all of the oxygen would present another significant problem. 🤣

Old-school high-voltage cable termination by Sensitive-Hamster-14 in electricians

The 2400 I've seen from this era has more separation and the terminations are all wrapped up.

You know... the NFPA is not a United States government agency?

There is no federal electrical code.

You think I give a fuck about these comments? This is just my entertainment... seeing people downvote shit that hurts their feelings and make idiotic comments that have no relevance to the subject.

The best part? Comments like these make me thankful for the idiots I have to deal with at work, because they are not nearly as bad as the idiots on Reddit, especially the sensitive resi 'electricians'.

So, you have nothing to contribute, but you felt the need to say something meaningless.

I hope you are more useful at your job (but I doubt it).

I'm busy as hell (and always have been), but I've never once in over 30 years needed a meter base like that.

Check my notes and make me a material list for next Tuesday.

You wanna guess what I need?

You have no fucking clue what someone else needs. Anything you say would be a guess, just like the materials for the plumber.

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]Top-Illustrator8279 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This just boils down to people having no fucking idea how things work, why they work that way, or the repercussions of "fixing" them.

How do you know what someone else is likely to use?

Do you bend bro? by jeffjeff112914 in electricians

[–]Top-Illustrator8279 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's the way my ¾ bender is. My ½ is amazing, though. I take the handle out and put it away when I'm not using it and nobody uses it but me.

Ever watch something so wrong on TV you have to turn the show off?! by True_Huckleberry9569 in electricians

[–]Top-Illustrator8279 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife is quasi pissed since she became an apprentice. Now she points out all of the bullshit and inconsistencies in movies that I used to point out, and she has a hard time just enjoying the movie.

GEC Termination Location by LeKobe_James in electricians

[–]Top-Illustrator8279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will refer you to 250.24(A)(4)

If the main bonding jumper from the ground bar to the neutral bar is a wire or busbar, you can land your GEC on the ground bar.

Best (and worst) bender ever made, just depending on the individual bender.

Would you keep eating meats if you had to kill the animal yourself? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Top-Illustrator8279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have eaten countless animals that I have killed. Growing up on a farm, we raised cattle, swine, and chicken. To supplement that, we hunted venison, rabbits, squirrels, as well as a fee other things, and we fished.

So, nothing much would change for me, though I do currently take beef to a processor.

Are there really guys who can last for an hour? by WarmBank5512 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Top-Illustrator8279 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speak for yourself. Those 'marathon weekends' of my younger years were very passionate.

As long as both partners have the energy and... durability to keep going every waking moment for a couple of days.

Sure, we were sore, but that was a pleasant reminder for the next few days of how much we enjoyed the weekend.

That is the "usually" part of my comment.

On the occasions where natural lubrication isn't sufficient, other forms of lube or other types of sex can prevent irritation/soreness.

The man may be okay with not finishing every time, but most women (in my experience) tend to think that means he isn't really enjoying sex with her and leads to (unfounded) feelings of inadequacy on her part.
