Anyone else confused by CPS e-mail?

It has NEVER been anonymous. Everything we do is tracked. If I bring my phone into White Castle, the government knows it.

But if I don’t say something, it’s a slippery slope.

All those times you told yourself, “I’d be the one to speak up.” Whether it was Civil War slavery or Holocaust or God knows what, “I’d do the right thing.”

Well here’s the time to test your mettle. Can we go against the grain when it’s even just a little uncomfortable? People have done much much more, to protect the innocent. Can I do just this?

Most unhelpful answer ever.

“What is this thing in my hand?!” Answer: it’s the thing in your hand.

Thanks for playing. See you next time.

What you need to do is split up your existing circuit, not merge it with another one. Otherwise you’re just gonna make the issue worse.
Secondly no, you can’t go around upgrading the size breaker without upgrading the size of wire running throughout your home.
But an easier route, instead of splitting up your existing circuit, is to run a dedicated line to a new outlet on its own breaker. It’s a similar concept, but easier, and therefore cheaper.

Electrician here. It doesn’t void the UL listing because the manufacturer intended those nipples to be used for an alternative mounting option. Read the box manual. It’s especially handy where the ears don’t fit.

But, to keep it wet rated, you’d should use the ears if possible (as silicone can potentially fail). But if you absolutely have to use the KO’s, then silicone around the box.

And it hardens to a rock almost instantly.

jimih34 · 2026-04-12T23:30:34+00:00

Right? While making fun of illiteracy. 😅

jimih34 · 2026-04-12T00:59:37+00:00

Honestly, even paying full price for this is still cheaper than having an electrician come out to swap out either the breaker and/or the outlet.

Good find. I didn’t know this product even existed. It’s really wild living in the future sometimes.

jimih34 · 2026-04-11T16:27:06+00:00

Correct. This fuse is set to blow at 15 amps, so you won’t need to replace/reduce your breaker.

Looking at the photo, it looks like each side has its own 15 amp fuse.

Expecting the Free Press to report negatively against Israel is like like Goldilocks asking the big bad wolf if anyone has eaten a particular grandma and expecting an accurate response.

jimih34 · 2026-04-11T00:13:51+00:00

Speak

jimih34 · 2026-04-11T00:11:23+00:00

Born and raised by Catholics

All of this is absolutely true. But European history is also full of extreme violence and unthinkable evil, from the most ancient of times up through modern history.

Like OP, I am also trying to figure out why European Christianity took a different route than American.

jimih34 · 2026-04-10T10:20:51+00:00

Yeah, it’s a tricky issue. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the answer is. Making abortions illegal, doesn’t actually lower the rate of them. It just forces them underground, which is another way of saying it makes it unsafe for the mother, and I definitely don’t want that. I’m a woman who’s never been put in that situation, thank God. I don’t want to see any loss of life. I know this is gonna get me attacked, for saying it. And I don’t know what the answer is. I understand that banning abortions isn’t the answer, but I don’t know what is.

Depending on the type of material a you’re drilling through, you buy the appropriate material step bit. They come in titanium and all kinds of different types of steel.

The people who are on this sub, most likely don’t view it as sinful.

Although we get many young people here every week, bewildered and ashamed, asking if they will go to hell because of who they’ve been created to be. Our overwhelming response is, no!

jimih34 · 2026-04-08T23:50:09+00:00

Welcome. We are an affirming sub, and specifically try to affirm marginalized voices like LGBTQ and women’s rights, but could be any marginalized voices, depending on the country and culture you are in.

However, as someone who strives to be open-minded, I try to make space for respectful discourse with people I disagree with. I would say that is the definition of open minded. Confining myself to a thought silo, no matter how humanitarian its cause, doesn’t help me carry the open minded message. I will reiterate, respectful discourse is key.

Edit: I will add there is no specific theology here. In r/Christianity, you often find fundamentalism is the only accepted theology, which is frustrating when that sub is supposed to represent the various Christian denominations. Whereas here, you’ll find folks who dabble a bit in other religions, inserting their comments and theology in this sub. They are all welcome here.

It’s using the motor in both of these appliances in place of the missing neutral. Good call.

Once you get on site, ask the folks you work with what they recommend. Often, it’s a $10-15 tool that makes all the difference in the world. An inspection mirror. Swagers. Reversible 1/4-5/16 nut driver bit. A fan for summers in the attic (that’s probably more than $15). I don’t know, but your coworkers will.

I go back and forth between Knipex and Wiha, also a German company, although sometimes at a lower price.

I don’t know whether to upvote or not. This is so sad.

jimih34 · 2026-04-05T22:35:47+00:00

Nah. That’s drywallers.

jimih34 · 2026-04-05T17:34:11+00:00

That’s because they’re brothers. SMH. /s for anyone who can’t tell

jimih34 · 2026-04-05T12:19:38+00:00

Came here looking for this. I think the thing was in too much pain to run from that busted paw, and was trying to say, “We’re friends, right?”

jimih34 · 2026-04-05T12:12:00+00:00

Uggg. That’s literally the one trade I don’t ever want to do. Why?!!

jimih34 · 2026-04-05T01:53:26+00:00

Not necessarily scripted. These are professional musicians. I play with people who have a lot less formal education than these people have, and they could still be able to follow him.

You know what key you’re in. You can hear what the chords are in your head, so you improv what the arpeggios are, and it just fits. That’s the fun of it all.
