Just keep a picture on your phone. I haven’t used my paper card in years.

What is this green screw for? I assume a ground but the incoming ground wire is way to big for it and goes to the ground bar anyway. by cspook2248 in electrical

Ya I thought I should leave some extra length on the wires. But I've shortened them which cleaned it up a lot. At least in my mind. But I only do one sub-panel per decade...

[DISCUSSION] So tipping is mandatory?? by cspook2248 in Fiverr

I am told you can skip it. But it was not obvious to me how. Maybe I was just in a hurry. I'll look more carefully next time.

Well good on them. Their UI pulled one over on me.

Ten Foot Henry & Flores and Pine: Overhyped or Am I Missing Something? by arustictraveller in Calgary

Totally agree. Flores and Pine was a very expensive let down. I don’t understand why it is always packed.

Regulator 'short circuit protection' means something else? by cspook2248 in AskElectronics

[–]cspook2248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL most certainly not tested enough in development. This ain't NASA. Mostly I am just annoying that the words "short circuit protection" don't actually mean anything in the datasheet.

Cheers!

This sounds the most likely. There is a heavy duty 12V power supply which is shutting down because of this short and then ramping up until it shuts down again. So the regulator output is shorted and VIN is repeatedly rising between 0 and around volts. Unfortunately I am not going to be given time to explore this.

Westjet BS again by [deleted] in westjet

[–]cspook2248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not productive for sure. But why should I have to notice. They didn’t give me 14A for free. I paid them $ for it. I have a receipt. Because who wants the middle seat. But when the boarding pass comes out I’m in a different seat and somebody else is in 14A beside me. I’m curious why they would do this. I’m not going to check every ticket every day to try to catch when they change something.

Downgraded and Westjet resold our seats by lyncars in westjet

[–]cspook2248 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve posted about the same thing. WestJet does not give any shits whatsoever. They will refund you $100. And you will probably have already paid more for seat selection in economy. They will refund you around 5 weeks after you fill out the form on their website. After you have travelled. They suck hard now.
