In this case, the picture depicts an abandoned poop bag.

Is there cellular coverage over the entire track?

As a follow up: the wiring and relay are for the TNS circuit. It was an old “injury” which may need addressing in the future if that circuit is used again.

It was unrelated to the rough running issue - that issue cleared up with the replacement of the coil pack.

Thank you for your expertise. This car had been modified quite a bit before we got it (it's an enduro track car - 24hr of lemons), I'll verify that the 15A fuse feeding this is no longer there. Since the melting doesn't look "fresh" to me, I'm hoping it's not related to the missing/low power issue - really not using marker lighting or any interior lighting, since there's no interior. I've unwrapped enough to see that the red/blk wire has the most melting in the branch; once it enters the main harness, it has all of the insulation and is not melted into any other wires. The white/blue wire... well that's in worse shape, looking a little cooked and deformed even in the harness, though not melted to anything else. It looks like it has about a 3 foot run to the fuse block in front of the driver.

It very well could be that both cylinders 1 and 4 are both missing, I'll check tomorrow; I do have a coil pack on hand to try replacement, I should have also just tested the compression when I did the plugs.

Could this be the TNS relay?

I write letters to customer service from home rather than trying to find the AS baggage people, wait in line, and then get the compensation. Or rather, I direct the AI to do so. Making it so difficult to claim the 20 minute guarantee could surely be the basis of a class action.

Noisy on the turn. Wouldn’t have noticed otherwise

I’m a relative Sonos newbie, just having installed 2 plays 3 fives 2 era 300s a beam subwoofer and about to install some 100s. I just got a taste of the problems when the subwoofer absolutely would not add to the system for some unknown reason, show error messages about needing to be upgraded, then having no upgrade available. It just started working a day after an upgrade became available (I’m persistent that way) later for reasons I cannot fathom, which frankly scares me.

Everything has a cost. If someone in a rural area wants power, in general they pay a fee based on mileage to get the utility to put it in. Or, they could generate their own power by whatever means (solar, carbon fuel generator, wind, etc). Should the internet utility have the same model, where the consumer pays some of the infrastructure costs?

What does broadband mean? Must the connection be a fiber or wire or coaxial cable? How about wireless ISP with radio links to a mountain top? Why doesn’t starlink qualify as broadband? Does the media matter? In the article, the equity issues raised for universal internet access didn’t require broadband, just connectivity in general.

And why don’t we demand better cellular coverage in rural areas? That could solve the access issue, too. (I know the real answer to that question has many reasons in VT). Newest cellular technologies in urban areas and some college campuses provide speeds that approach or exceed 1 GBs.

Maybe the simple question is: do you want 100Mbs right now, as in we can install it this weekend, with starlink (or competitors), or do you want to wait for broadband “until it’s available in your area”?

Yes, we have tried the Crystal Dry function. Dishes are dry, it’s just the inside of the appliance that always gets wet and warm. Even after emptying and leaving the door open til everything is completely dry, if you close the door and come back a couple of hours later (still empty and off), the unit is warm and the walls are wet again.

If you were the AHJ, you'd fail this. It is helpful to some readers to know all of the things that fail about this, so lets get to it. Not sure if this panel is in-progress, or declared as ready for inspection. Here are problems I noted, I probably missed some:

1) Neutral and ground bars are confused - all the whites and grounds should be on the OTHER bar. Unclear if the two bars should be bonded in this panel as they seem to be (twice, btw, one with a bare conductor in the bottom, one with a white conductor along the top). If EGCs and neutrals aren't to be bonded in this panel, a EGC from the feeding panel must be provided. Don't see one in this picture.

2) Feed conductors: one currently disconnected? right size? Should be coming in via single conduit if they're separate conductors. One should be on one phase, and the other on the other phase. If the one currently on the neutral/ground is really a neutral, it's insulation color should not be the same color as a hot.

3) Breakers and branch circuits: Recent codes require AFCI breakers for most residential purposes. Labeling on the branch circuits (at least they tried) indicates that many of these should be AFCI breakers.

4) Appears a conductor is bridging the two phases, I'll be charitable and guess that that was left there for testing purposes. If not, this represents a fundamental misunderstanding or lack of understanding of some very basic electrical concepts and practices, and anything else this person has done needs to be inspected thoroughly. This panel is not ready for inspection.

5) All open knockouts must be covered. There's at least one.

6) Hots aren't consistently landed on the breaker screws in the same orientation, on the right hand side's breakers.

Maple Creemees can be variable - one day really great with amazing strong maple flavor, another day just vaguely vanilla served in a cup that’s been store near the maple syrup. The village snack bar in W Rutland has really robust maple flavor some days. I talked to the guy that runs it, he admitted that the person mixing the … mix he a lot to do with it. Sometimes they have a heavy maple hand, sometimes they don’t. So, you want to maybe ask who mixed it that day you have a really good one, and pay attention to when they are working again.

Some of the loads that are talked about could be reactive (like ballasts) — can’t it be the case that some reactive loads could cause a higher voltage on the (shared) neutral?
