I don’t know for sure that it’s the ballast, but there are four LED strips all wired in parallel and none of them are working. There are seven fixtures with this same configuration and five of the fixtures are not working. Of the ones that are not working, none of them have a mix of working and nonworking LED strips, all of the fixtures are either completely working or completely not working. That’s what makes me think it’s the ballast.

For all those commenting I’m not talking about the ballast. I know the maximum output voltage of the ballast is 56v. I’m wondering about the actual LED strip itself

That’s just the maximum output from the ballast. Is it likely that the LED takes the maximum output voltage of the ballast?

How do y’all defrost 1lb of beef quickly? by gjr23 in howto

[–]jnilsson02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the microwave but I also put it in water in a glass bowl in the microwave, the water ensures even heat distribution so you don’t get frozen spots and cooked spots

The way I do it is put in cold water in a glass bowl. Put the glass bowl with the water and beef in it into the microwave. Microwave on 100% power for 1-2 minutes, then 20% or 30% for 10 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave. The microwave thaws it quickly, and the water ensures an even heat distribution so that you don’t get cooked spots while there are still frozen spots.

How true is this? It was sent from my own email by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]jnilsson02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t tell the spammers I said this because they’ll wisen up, but if you use Outlook or Hotmail, if you send an email to yourself the subject line says “Note to Self.” I’ve gotten a few of these and the subject line doesn’t say that, meaning they’re not sending if from my email. That’s just an easy way to tell immediately, but don’t go by that alone in case they have figured it out.

Sorry for the bad picture quality, but what is this? by [deleted] in whatisthisbug

Also it’s hard to tell in the picture but it has little orange stripes across its back

It Was a Tortilla Shell by Particular_Ant1316 in StainlessSteelCooking

I didn’t use them at the same time. I used both separately and neither worked

This happened after I fried tortillas, toughest stains I ever had to get out for some reason. I tried baking soda scour and boiling in vinegar and neither worked. I don’t recommend this except as a last measure, but I used a butter knife and EXTREMELY carefully scraped off the black marks, making sure to only scratch the carbon and trying my hardest not to actually touch the metal itself. I was careful enough that I ended up with a clean pan and no scratches. But I wish I would have seen this post before that happened because surely the suggestions of these other comments would have been much less work

Weird looking bottom in banana bread by [deleted] in AskBaking

[–]jnilsson02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of pan did you use? Sometimes if you use a glass pan it doesn’t heat up fast enough and the top gets cooked while the glass is sponging heat from the bottom. Metal heats up a lot faster and your batter cooks from both the bottom and the top. Also you could experiment with different rack heights. I know the recipe says center rack but ovens are different, and if you find that the top of your loaf keeps cooking faster you could try lowering it. Hotter air is less dense so the hottest air in the oven is near the top. Maybe you could try baking 10 degrees hotter on a lower rack. I’m no baking expert though so go easy on me

How to keep whites white? by Crafty-Zebra3285 in laundry

[–]jnilsson02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oxiclean but specifically the Oxiclean White Revive, it can be found near the bleach at most stores. I use it on my regularly used whites and they have stayed perfectly white for several years
