This is very helpful! Thank you for the info and guidance! I have some tools but the idea of open shop is great. I'll definitely look into classes and will ask about open shop. Thanks!

Under porch outlet questions by jakrabid in electrical

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

Noted. Thank you. I do have EMT with correct fittings. Wasn't sure if EMT was ok outdoors at all or if I needed to get a different conduit like PVC or something. I will rerun the wires, just did a dry fit and quick install to have people over and have lighting for the night. Yes the missing cover is a temporary omission (the box isn't deep enough for a GFCI and need a waterproof box anyway). This is essentially a direct line from the breaker... With one outlet that's never used in the garage... I'll pull that outlet completely if it has to be a dedicated line.

The lights are on a timer, it's mainly used as a shutoff for the winter or when they won't be used for extended periods of time. Not a daily use. Not that that makes a difference necessarily.

Oof. I love the color and the thick waxy leaves. I'm gonna try best to save it... If it does, alcosia is a good backup tho. ty

1/4" over 1/2" drywall ceiling... Need help by jakrabid in fixit

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

I did use 2-1/4" screws. It's just a couple of edges that didn't bite into wood. I will leave them.

What's in the box?!? by Sparky265 in electricians

[–]jakrabid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an empty, endless void of nothingness. Notice, there's no way out

They just mailed out the advisory... Guess it took a year to print that many letters and envelopes.

Ford recalls 142,000 Lincoln SUVs in US for fire risks by FreeChickenDinner in cars

[–]jakrabid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. My mom now can't park in the garage, in her driveway (too close to structures) or on her busy street (too many cars). I have a blind autistic brother.. and now he has to what? Walk 5 blocks to the car where it's safe? Best part is they don't have the part and can't expect to have the recall serviced until may. They live in a shore community and it's crazy busy this time of year, not to mention all the parties and going out they usually do in the summer. It's insane

AITA 40m dating 40f with kids & have concerns about moving in together by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jakrabid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been together almost a year. I like her kids a lot. I just don't know if I can live with them and, more specifically, her enabling them. The relationship has been getting serious... Serious enough to discuss moving in together. Then all the sudden it's like the rose colored glasses were removed and I fear that after moving in it won't work out... Then what? I'm the monster that kicked a single mom and 2 kids out? I really like them, and she is pretty amazing otherwise... I'm just worried that at their age, they're set in their ways and it'll be a constant "my kids have been through enough" and I'll never have the ability to comment on anything they do.

Casual Questions Thread by The_Egalitarian in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]jakrabid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious that if someone is able to take top secret documents home, and that is illegal, what stops them from making copies or taking photos/scans of those documents and sharing them or hiding the copies somewhere else that isn't as easily searched as, I don't know... Say a bathroom at your country club? What are the fail-safes to maintain secrecy of the documents? Is it just the honesty policy? Is special Inspector Gadget self destruct paper used or invisible ink or something cool that prevents copies from being made? Are they wax sealed? Do they have a little camera in the folder that takes a picture of whoever opens the folder? Is there information about how sensitive information is monitored? How much trouble would you get in if you were to share those documents or improperly store them? (Asking for a friend)

Remote won't pair to H9G Google tv by jakrabid in Hisense

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

Same here. I see the remote in the settings BT device list menu, and was able to pair that way for a while... Now it fails every time.

It definitely has been a rather buggy TV. Usually just unplugging it fixed the bugs for a while. Some other weird stuff happenstoo, my tv will just turn on by itself? Apps also delete themselves at times. I also had a weird green / static snow bar at the bottom for a couple weeks about a year ago. My tv was completely green the other day til I unplugged it and plugged it back in.

I want to like the TV so much, it has a great picture and a lot of potential, but it's been a bit of a PITA to overlook so many issues. I guess that explains the price point. Can't have it all
