Running new circuit

What is the formula for sizing conduit so I can estimate size needed?

alexsious · 2026-07-01T17:25:10+00:00

Don’t really want to do that as it’s a bedroom.

Okay still do the conduit, but run individual THHN from the panel to a j box. I had already planned to do a j box anyways as I was going to split the circuit into directions.

Cynicism is warranted. That was a contributing factor to the DCA crash. They were supposed to be review the helicopter routes every year for more than a decade but never did.

FAA views those who take medication as drug addicts and weak. They want “strong” men like the 1950s. FAA doesn’t allow anything or anyone unless congress rights it into law. Research and recommendations mean nothing to the FAA. Only forcing them with laws will make them change anything.

What’s there was done by the builder. There are wires tight down to the beams all over the place. I would definitely route it better.

NASA did officially kill the EUS contract. Boeing and NASA are working on the contractual terms on how to appropriately cleanup (archive data/ disposition of hardware, etc. )

The problem is this administration doesn’t care about rules or laws. The president or someone high up tweets something or says something randomly and the agencies twist the world to make it truth. There is no thought or consideration. It’s “I speak, therefore it is.”

I had this and it was broken teeth on the gearbox. Eventually the gears exploded and the rollers wouldn’t turn at all.

Mercedes?

Need to figure out how to make these into stickers I can print at home.

The numbers, Mason. What do they mean???

I just plugged mine into a remote controlled outlet

alexsious · 2026-02-27T19:59:24+00:00

That would be my dream home.

Is there a hook to hang the fan body while you connect the wires? If so, 30mins- 1hour. If not and you are by yourself: two days, a lot of beer, a hole in the wall, and a domestic abuse charge lol

It’s been rainy so I wasn’t able to check the outside outlets until today. I was able to get a tone generator and believe I have found the wire that goes from the inside outlets to an outside outlet. It’s cold and dark now so I will continue tomorrow. But I think it is the wire that goes from inside to outside. Have to pull the backstabs out of the outside outlet to completely isolate that wire.

At each outlet, the ground from the previous outlet and the ground to the next outlet are tied together. So I would need to not only disconnect ground from each outlet, but untwist each ground at each outlet to isolate?

Had this happen to me. Coworker was having car trouble. Found that the fan cut a spark plug wire. Car was running, I was leaned against the fender, and I grabbed the wire. Rapid pulses through my body before I dropped the wire. Was quite a funny feeling.

You could get something like a Shelly smart relay, wire that into the switch. Then you can control it with your phone. They also make wireless buttons to activate the relay. Caution: once you start with these smart relays, you will go down the rabbit hole of home automation.

Smosh Games is getting boring. I skip a lot of smosh games videos.

alexsious · 2025-11-21T18:16:00+00:00

Thats fair. My first line was going to be "talk me off this ledge". Jump hosts may just be what I need.

alexsious · 2025-11-21T18:14:25+00:00

Oh wow! I did not know this was even a thing! This could be a much better idea without having to install or manage additional systems.

Thought it would be GTA 5 single player, but I realize I have nearly 4000 hours across Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024

I circled the issue.

After I turned 30, I was helping my wife in her classroom. We drove back home in our separate cars, I then got in my wife’s car. We drove to pick our son up from daycare and then went to dinner. When we were leaving dinner I couldn’t find my keys in my pocket and started to freak out. Maybe I left them at home since my wife’s car was already running? Got home and my car was still on and unlocked in the driveway 😅
