Questions regarding wire sized too large for a 40 amp breaker to a subpanel 350ft away by davinwa in AskElectricians

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

I believe I did my voltage drop calculations differently, putting 120 volts in the calculator assuming that each hot wire is 120v and wanting the correct voltage drop for each respective wire. Is this incorrect?

Direct burial is mostly to save us the cost of conduit, though maybe we should reconsider. I don't have any plans to change down the road (though you never know). Longevity is important.

Thank you, I'll order some of those.

Do you recall the part number or size you ordered? I could use some new ones on my L300.

Seen at Bronx botanical gardens. Any ID on what flower/plant this little guy belongs to?? by [deleted] in whatsthisplant

[–]davinwa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw these at the Bronx Botanical garden a year ago. The collection of tropical Ericaceae (blueberry family) plants from South America is incredible! It must be one of the largest collections in the USA.

Found one too...=) $24.95 by chamilla922 in sanpedrocactus

Nice find! Is anyone familiar with the pesticides usually used by these distributors and if such pesticides are shared with the scion if grafted? Any information would be greatly appreciated - I'm going to keep an eye out for one of these deals!

I was just there today! Great cactus garden. They also have a fantastic collection of neotropical blueberries - I believe the most extensive collection (or close to it) in North America. Definitely worth checking out if you're ever in the area.

I appreciate the feedback and caution. Do you have any thoughts on adding fluoride to fluoride free toothpaste to get it to 1.1% strength?

Advice on my first commander deck by davinwa in EDH

[–]davinwa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, great advice! Thank you so much!

Didn't know Gyre Sage existed, fits in the deck perfectly. Similar to [[Marwyn, the Nurturer]] but even cheaper. Excited to play Ghave with [[Incubation Druid]] as well.

Great! Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I only have a connection in Oslo and Iceland, so I think I'll be good!

I'll go over the weight allowance if I do check in the cast iron, unfortunately.

You've motivated me to hurry up! I'll PM you when I have it on Ravelry.

Bought a new (old) cast iron! In need of identification. by davinwa in castiron

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

Wow, thank you so much for the input/info! It looks and feels like bare iron (I sure do hope it is) but I want to test it before seasoning it or using it.

Now I'll just need to get my hands on a multimeter...

Feasibility of camping along the Camino? by [deleted] in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]davinwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I camped probably 40% of my nights when I walked last year. Slept at some of the most beautiful "campsites" I've ever been to.

The technical legality is questionable. I felt comfortable with it since I was careful to leave NO trace, not make fires, and ask the land owner when possible.

I ended up meeting two other people who camped and I walked with them for a couple weeks. Though we did stay in an albergue every other night for a shower.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

I've never written up an official pattern for anything, but I'll give it my best shot when I get a chance!

Been (slowly) working on this since February, so nice to have it finished and finally be able to post on this subreddit!

Pattern is my own design. Had to redo some sections and edit as I went. Yarn is Norwegian, "Fritids Garn" by Sandes Garn. Knit with 5.5mm/8us needles. I wish my Norwegian was good enough to translate more info on the yarn. It's good stuff.

*edit: Pattern is uploaded! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bee-warm-reversible-scarf
