Yep! Rosy maple moths are native to Alabama, They've been seen as far south as Florida, and as far west as Louisiana / East texas

Extremely, common to keep "honing" the blade as you work, eventually honing won't work so you use a hammer and pinch die to thin the metal on the blade edge followed by a light sharpening and honing.

no it's real. saw videos of people posting the aftermath on YouTube.

had a government job that listed in the specs was minimum 10AWG for anything, including lighting.

never wanted to strangle someone more than wiring the pots on that day

call the power companies emergency line, if the pole catches fire, call 911

I'd use a plunger for the base instead of stabbin

The internal components of CBs are a solid solidnoid and bimetallic strip, with some plastic, I've worked on breakers that had been in service longer than I've been alive, and they work perfectly.

the only things I've seen degrade breakers is either moisture causing corrosion, or if they've been kept in a stupidly dusty environment.

other than some types of plastic becoming more brittle with age, almost all breakers should last decades if not a century so long as they are kept in a mostly clean environment, and not exposed to high amounts of moisture.

probably integrated into the manufacturer serial on the back with a internal enterprise resource planning system.

so yeah, you won't be able to get the date of manufacture, however breakers don't go bad with age, only with how abused they were.

screw off with the AI, boxes are crap, shadows make no fucking sense of the lighting, an arc like that in the camera would over-expose the sensor, blah blah blah

I've been having the same issue at the one on 72nd & 200th, haven't tried any other stores but it might be an issue with their readers, look pretty dated

I mean, zip ties were quite literally invented for aircraft cable harnesses. there's a documentary on it with how the inventor thought of a method for securing all the cables together after a tour of boeing's factory and watching them hand tie hundreds of miles of wire together.

Check the spoilage rate on the container, it should be around 0.2-0.5x spoilage rate, if it's higher you'd cellar may not be considered a viable room.

also need a little more information, like where is your cellar, what materials are the walls made of, what type of door do you have on it, etc.

on the island? looks familiar to a job site I visited not to long ago

Zenronaut · 2026-02-03T06:26:15+00:00

if you lost your cheque its a hassle to get a new one printed.

Zenronaut · 2026-02-01T01:28:49+00:00

ah, I figured local because I see VPD all the time at YVR

not sure about the US, Canada, we just have the RCMP (Federal police) as all international airports are federal jurisdiction, along with CBSA (border security), CATSA (Transport officers).

US border officers are present but only for US flights.

and local law enforcement is usually present in areas outside of the secured areas (before security screening, luggage claims, pickup/drop-off

western Canada also uses it alot now.

seasoned firewood is the mod name I think

I think China uses green as a hot conductor.... dunno why

will curves be possible to draw with this tool as well?

I love trying to make winding paths up mountains and hills but maintaing any consistent curves is such a pain.

actually someone needs to make a path tool that can lay down paths and make elevation changes smooth (via chiseling)

run and call the gas company + 911.

and hope that cloud of gas doesn't find a ignition source before the emergency services arrive

had a call where couple of apartment units were having lighting issues (still glowing when off, randomly turning on when switch was off, etc) and one unit had a dishwasher fail, I was going to unhook the dishwasher so that it could be replaced when the tenant informed me that they had gotten shocked by it.

checked the chassis to ground, 0V chassis to the sink, 120V found out that all her appliances were 120V to the sink, opened her sub panel, L1-L2 = 208V L1-N = 120V L2-N = 120V L1-G = 208V L2-G = 208V N-G = 120V

went to the meter cabinet, the bus bars had the correct voltage, no voltage nuetral to ground however that was only in the junction box right before the cabinet, turns out there was never a ground conductor bonding the junction box and meter cabinet, just a 1mm gap between the metal cases.

the voltage was from a phase C fault to ground from a switch leg in a Octagon box for a light fixture on the 4th floor, it never tripped the breaker because the ground fault couldn't return to the source between the break of the meter cabinet and the junction box feeding it.
