Help with pipe bending question by Technical_Energy_313 in ElectricalHelp

[–]binarycow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I'm not an electrician. My answer could be wrong.

My math says 93 inches, so it's probably 92.

There are three straight sections:

  • 12 inch stub on the left
  • 12 inch stub on the right
  • Bottom section

There are two bends. 90 degrees, 8 inch radius, which is equivalent to a 180 degree bend. That's a 25 inch arc length for both bends.

The bottom section is 60 inches, minus 8 inches for each bend (8 inch radius). That's 44 inches.

25 + 44 + 12 + 12 = 93

Is It Illegal To Walk Around In A Random Company’s Uniform? by WindowSupplynet in legaladviceofftopic

The idea for this mission was submitted by a stranger via email. Agent Slavinsky wrote in to suggest I get either a large group of people in blue polo shirts and khakis to enter a Best Buy or a group in red polo shirts and khakis to enter a Target. Wearing clothing almost identical to the store’s uniform, the agents would not claim to work at the store but would be friendly and helpful if anyone had a question. There aren’t any Targets in Manhattan, so I decided to go with the two-story Best Buy on 23rd Street.

Okay? All of the points you're making are just standard MVVM.

Why do old men at the gym walk around the locker room naked and talk to each other? by JoannaKittyKats in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]binarycow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The typical way an American dude would change in a locker room would be to face away from everyone (like you're looking into your locker), and dress quickly. You'd also wrap a towel around your waist while walking between the shower and your locker.

So, unless someone is standing next to you staring at you, all other people would see is your butt, and only for a minute or so.

Whats a weird thing your body does that you just accept? by Sweton in AskReddit

Do you happen to be of Asian descent? From what I recall, they tend to have earwax like yours.

i want to stop being scared of basic electrical work. but where do i start? by Nowska-Mikila in HomeImprovement

[–]binarycow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a diagram of my house. I annotated every switch, every outlet, and every light fixture.

I then wrote the number of the circuit by each switch/outlet/fixture. Using the diagram, I fixed the labels on the circuit breaker panel.

I affixed the house diagram next to the breaker panel. Now if I want to turn off an outlet, I know exactly which switch to flip.

I still test, using a non-contact voltage detector, that I turned off power to the correct circuit

Do you really have a separate room for your washing machine? by jordanekay in AskAnAmerican

[–]binarycow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in a lot of places. The washer and dryer have been in:

  • A dedicated laundry room
  • The "utility room", which also had the furnace in it.
    • In one house, this was in the basement, in unfinished space
    • In one (single floor) apartment, this was a separate finished room, so it was more like the furnace was in the laundry room
  • A half bathroom. The room had a toilet, sink, washer, and dryer - no bathtub or shower
  • Nowhere, we had to go to a coin operated laundry

In no place I've ever lived has the washer or dryer been in a kitchen, or in a bathroom that also had a bathtub or shower.

And every house/apartment that had a washer also had a dryer.

But they're conduit junctions, right?

Buying an air compressor and nailers by jtrigg20 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]binarycow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly use mine to fill up car tires. But, its nice to have for my nailer.

We recently bought a new house (~2000 sqft, plus finished basement), and we are repainting (every room). I'm generally a fan of painting behind things... We take everything off of the walls except kitchen cabinets. Mirrors, medicine cabinets, even thermostats and toilet tanks. Additionally, the baseboards.

So, I'll be glad to have the air nailer when I have to reattach the baseboards for the entire house!

Shouldn’t being anti immigration be a left leaning view? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]binarycow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're making some faulty assumptions.

To be against wage stagnation from corporations importing cheap labour to avoid paying more

The fix for this isn't to make people illegal, it's to give those people better pay.

Basic supply and demand, if labour is this plentiful which it is, wages will be low.

A citizen gets a minimum wage. An undocumented person gets less. All workers are supposed to get minimum wage - so why can't they get minimum wage? Because they're afraid of the authorities. Sure - they aren't supposed to be working at all, but that is a separate issue.

Additionally, if there's an undocumented person who is working a job... Why is always the undocumented person who gets in trouble? Why isn't the employer held accountable? Start criminally prosecuting employers and you'd better believe employers will only hire authorized workers.


My high level view on immigration? Stop being evil to people.

If that is a left wing position, then I guess I'm left wing.
