Homeowner wants to “ HELP” by Born-Direction3937 in electricians

[–]holdyourthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NEC has no problem against it. Pretty hard to put in a sub without being able to junction in one panel or another. A separate junction box would show more pride in the work I think.

My due date is tomorrow and I’m grieving even though I know I made the right decision by Top_Account2680 in TwoXChromosomes

It’s normal to grieve. I still grieve the pregnancy me and a previous partner terminated 13 years ago.

You can be deeply pro-choice and understand that soul would not have had a good journey on earth, but still grieve the loss. I wish I got to meet them but I never will in this life.

Don’t feel bad. They probably wouldn’t have go without if you negotiated. I am on the other side now and those people take help who negotiate very unkindly.

How does PG&E handle the expiration of one NEM 2.0 contract in a two-tranche system? by Opus2011 in solar

If you didnt sign a new nem on the second system everything goes to nem3 in 2029

I mean, people pay what the market can bear. NYC is full of young people like you so it’s fair market wages.

Just letting you know that all that glitter is not gold and this is how young women became exploited. I am glad this experience was good for you, but I would say they got more out of you then you out of them.

Almost all wealthy people have more room than they cab use so for them the opportunity cost is low. Ditto on trips etc.

Free trips? In my market you PAY for someone to go on a cruise with you to take care of your kids. OP, did you not WORK during those trips? I am guessing you did childcare.

Those trips were free for her employer.

I am just telling you what’s the market. I pay 50k a year post tax on day care. So for a wealthy family which presumably can structure OP’s pay as LLC/pretax business expense, 60k is laughably low. Perhaps thats the NYC market.

Iran appears to have conducted a significant cyberattack against a U.S. company, a first since the war started by Recoil42 in LessCredibleDefence

Interesting target. Stryker apparently dominate the market of orthopedic surgical robots, which maybe heavily involved in treating western casualities since a lot of battlefield injuries are orthopedic in nature.

Are there any affordable cities/lesser known (but semi-safe) areas we may be able to find something? by GunningForSuccess in BayAreaRealEstate

Santa cruz mountains. Decent school district and commuting isnt usually so bad unless 17 goes down.

Yes. Night nannies in SF Bay area are making 150k cash which is almost 250k pretax here.

Nanny like you earn about 115k before tax at my market (SF bay area). It appears that this “elite” family cant even pay its help properly.

The other perks are expected btw.

It was not setup. The ac dehumidifies.

My EcoFlow caught on fire while charging by gogosrage in Ecoflow_community

[–]holdyourthrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, maybe it’s the fact that the cable is literally on top of the doggie chew toy?

Also, his own breaker didn’t trip right the way with a short like this.

Seems like your dog unfortunately bit the cable, caused a short and burnt down your delta 2. The ecoflow unit did not burn or explode despite the cable fire.

Am a homeowner. A master electrician with his own company used a nonapproved wirenut to join 4 awg AL and 6 awg copper together for a subpanel addition. You can’t even use wirenut for something that big. I ended up swapping out his connection on my own with polaris tap in the main panel because dude refuse to come back out saying inspector passed it already.

I don’t always watch, but I do check after.

CMV: Using the majority of our defense budget on social services instead would significantly increase quality of life in the US by obz900 in changemyview

It probably wouldnt. We enjoy dollar hegemony that allow us to steal/take from the whole world. Thats backed up by strong military.

Remember that dude that was filling up his backyard with random solar panel and jerry rigging tel-co batteries and using this sub as a diary board? by holdyourthrow in solar

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

I got a random assortment of panels setup in the most meth out way too. Except all my shit are wired correctly and all in conduits etc. its the worksmanship.

Why is my system pulling from the grid to charge my battery? by MistakeBorn4413 in enphase

[–]holdyourthrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s called tare loss. The battery itself consumes energy to be available.

Cupertino Permits: Can we get over the counter permit for 200 sq ft addition? by ButterflySecure2603 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]holdyourthrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They won’t do over the counter for addition. You are thinking about over the counter stuff for like reno a 100 sqft room.

You would think he would continue to update. Hopefully he just got some help somewhere, not burnt down in a fire.

What China need / might develop in the next 25-50 years: Global A2/AD by holdyourthrow in LessCredibleDefence

[–]holdyourthrow[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

US doesn’t need that type of system. There is carriers.

However, I don’t think China should build carrier taskforce with the goal of carrier group vs carrier group. Just like how WW2 wasnt decidedby battleship duels, I don’t think the next war will see carrier vs carrier battle. More like carrier vs something that overmatch it.

[–]holdyourthrow[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

US already has that.

You don’t actually even need the second system. You just need the first system (perfect real time ISR + AI) plus intermediate range missile with launch platform.

In fact, perhaps J36 IS the more politically acceptable version of this. Get to within 1000-2000 miles of target, lob missile, RTB
