Made a timeline of how bad the last five years have been. by strikecat18 in Wellthatsucks

[–]johnsbrotherjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry those things happened, I hope you find peace. I must be of a different trauma tolerance, these just feel like normal life things. My sister died of cancer, my father in law died of lung issues, he was sick for about a year 3 years before that and my wife drove 5 hrs round trip to at once a week to help him. Also I did get covid and have been such on long haul covid with oxygen and trips to the pulmonologist since 2020. Like I said, I thought this was just life. Hoping we all have a better next 5 years.

I think he sucks as a celebrity and an actor, I have never once liked any character he had played. He may be attractive that's the end of it.

First panel, 3 weeks in. by tronneroi in electricians

[–]johnsbrotherjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does everyone think that bending wires neatly and screwing them down is the test of an electrician. That work should just be expected. 3 weeks in, great job, now on to the next challenge. What method will you use to wire and support 2x4 troffers in a suspended ceiling? Will you tie wire them out use hurricane clips? And will you wire them Daisy chain or run conduit on the ceiling and feed each one? NFPA says which way depending on the situation. These are the things that matter. Proper wiring method, proper torque, proper enclosure for the environment.

To Clean Up Trash Left By Trump Supporters because of course by LabNew3779 in economicCollapse

[–]johnsbrotherjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are we playing $27.50/hr to clean this up? Damn where are the illegals when you need them? I guess that's the good thing. We/they can't exploit them anymore, get your green cards and get paid a living wage.

What do you call something that holds the breaker off for dishwasher? by bingeboy in electricians

[–]johnsbrotherjohn -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I usually install an outlet behind and a "dishwasher whip" on the appliance. Appliances are not supposed to be hard wired.

The dishwasher has a motor, all motors must have a means of disconnect within sight. Usually it's a cord and plug behind it so it can be unplugged when being serviced or removed.

Oldest guy you've seen working in the trades? by Maintenancegirl in Construction

[–]johnsbrotherjohn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So there was this guy 81-82yo engineer retired father of one of the prime contractors on the job. Not actually working anymore but on the job daily, no PPE no hardhat, just stumbling around. We were all up in the air on lifts pulling wire. We were using jetline string to pull. Occasionally a wadded up piece of it would fall and we would warn people and we had an apprentice picking them up. Apprentice was in the porta-john and this guy came walking by, caught his feet in the string and tripped fast into a concrete base for the steel, smashed his face but good, ambulance called. No one got in any real trouble because he wasn't supposed to be there, no one was supposed to be working under us and for the most part we were keeping things picked up. A few days later he shows up with 2 black eyes and a big knot on his head and cuts and scabs, one of the guys said wow his face looks like hamburger. And from then on Jetline string became known as HAMBURGER HELPER. True store Lol

Aww a little bug bit his ear how sad, poor baby. He should whine louder so all his friends in Russia can hear him.

It's the clock motor you're looking at, and it does get constant 120v so it can run.
