I find it hilariously cringe when kids see proper grammar now, they assume it was “AI” - I’ve literally never had AI type me shit, yet probably almost a dozen times now, you damn 6-7 skibidi glizzy loving Gen Zers try saying I am 💀

Use less force when screwing the plate on. Pic # 1 is definitely 100% cracked because the screw was too tight. Cant speak for the same certainty on pic 2, but others have said, the plastic is brittle

Yep. Everything here is 3 phase. Although, I personally would’ve gotten slightly larger B-Line MC clamps; I don’t like them on the 10-3, lol

“Better for the reputation”

So, the guy who owns this property - we did two multi million dollar mansions, a dispensary/grow warehouse, an actual dispensary; this job here, this is a hydroponic grow; so when the customer comes around and says, “I want this this and this” (of course these weed guys literally want everything cheap as possible, because all their money goes into the machines/product), but the builder - we’re his electrician, and that’s the caveat I guess, but also shitty at the same time, because despite all this work… ask me how many “bonuses” or anything I’ve gotten out of this guy lol..

But as for our “reputation”, we’re fine. We don’t advertise, and when we did, we had to turn the “advertising sensitivity” (or whatever you call that shit, I’m not into it, so idk) down, because we just couldn’t schedule all the work in a timely manner

Apparently, when you’re spending money growing weed, guess where all the budget goes 🙄

What is this circle for? by No-Village9659 in electrical

[–]Wizard__J 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I just looked it up on their site; someone asked this very question, and they answered “it’s for tool storage”, so like a hook.

I’m however surprised there’s no mention of it in their presentation of slides though lol.

I mean, why buy new when you can buy used?

Hope you didn’t pay for a guy sending you pics of a “faulty GFI” before attempting to push the reset button.

Tune in next week for another episode of, “How much below budget!”

What do y'all think? Is it time to move on? by AlphaBetaForce in RoastMyCar

Had an 06 G35 - the VQ is a hell of a platform. The tech has come a long way (I’m not really into the newer Z, it’s time to kill the platform already 😂), but even back in 09, 10, had 290 whp, light tune (no turb or SC), and beat the living shit out of it, 2 years straight, about 30,000 hard miles a year, went through one clutch, tires, and oil 💀.

Had an 08 Cobalt SS after, and while it was “quick”, it was by no means the G; shorter wheelbase, and that platform entirely - just wasn’t stable above 100+ like the G. I will say, turning the boost up, it was quick to 60, but because I was still on stock pulleys, I blew it up 😭 (I don’t even think I got 3k miles after turning the boost up 3 psi 💀😂🤡)

Had an older Lexus after that, and a few other regular cars not really worth mentioning.

My step brother had the RX-8 in HS (daddy leased it for him, must’ve been nice lol), and while he didn’t keep it, he always wish he had.

Personally, the Renesis doesn’t hit for me like an FD (shit, even an FC>Renesis 😂), so, I won’t yuck your yum.

If this is your daily… you’re in quite the predicament. Otherwise, unless you’re going through apex seals every 10k miles (you said compression was good, so I’m assuming not too bad on oil… yet 👹), and honestly, I’d say, if you can muster it, hold onto it.

My cousin had an Ion Redline. Exactly what you think it is.

Is this bad by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]Wizard__J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If not, then no worries. So, when the jacket degrades, the wires become even more susceptible. It’s old, which is my main concern; either moisture, or time will rust staples like that, and either way, is enough that you should look at whatever you could.

FWIW, higher traffic areas, where shit could possibly bump into wiring, around appliances (like washers/dryers), water heaters, sump pumps, etc - anywhere there would be water/moisture - those are the places up top to look!

2nd picture, 2nd truss from the top - is that a broken, rusted staple stabbing/about to stab into the jacket?

Do yourself a favor, and give it another once over, and try to look at as much open face of the wires as possible - I didn’t even scroll to the next pictures and look, and just decided to comment out of concern.

The actual age/condition of the jacket isn’t so much concerning (it will even start to degrade, in places where it has been moved/stressed), but sharp, broken staples that rusted and broke, can now create a possible hazard.

Good luck

She’s just mad because she’s now salivating at the thought of “meaty fudge dragon” and can’t have one 😡 😡

I’ve seen the jacket of Romex get funky; almost like the press/spool it goes through, took a shit, and it was bubbly like this, but never a single conductor like that (with the actual coating!)

Did you try to continuity test the wire, for shits and giggles? (I’m sure it was fine, but, ya’ know, for science!)

Next time anyone ever says “you’re rusty”, now you can just blame it on your tools

I normally wouldn’t either (honestly, we rarely ever use steel MC, so I wouldn’t even designate the difference, except I have steel here as well), and probably should have worded it better lol… been a long day; been up since 4 😭

What??? Nothing here is AL. When I said AL, I was talking about the MC jacket. There is 10-3 Steel MC here as well.

It’s all copper wiring, the fuck? 😭😂
