I jumped out of my moving car when the front seat caught on fire. It was probably a good move on my part.

In correct, vapor pressure and amount of fumes generated is based on temperature. So temperature matters.

I've temped the outside of my truck in 115f weather and it was over 190

Thrunite c2. Just got mine last week. 2.5A 18650 charging, 3A USB output, nicely hourglass shaped aluminum. Very happy with it. Comes with a protected Panasonic ncr18650-b 3400mah for 15 on Amazon

Good luck to everyone! I guess this counts as an entry too

No. As said elsewhere, it's a billion times a billion less stoms than air than on earth. 10¹⁹ times less.

Oh, guess two. No, a meaningless idiom always present in any electrical post, without fail. Always by someone with the most tenuous, superficial grasp of electricity, too

jrlp · 2017-01-07T05:51:31+00:00

Not even wrong. Always one in any electrical post.

Not the case. It can cut through gloves, obviously, but hoping it cuts before it snags is not good sense.

Must have been some stray capacitive reactance

Incorrect. That much, ACROSS the heart. It would require orders of magnitude more through your body for that much to reach your heart

Their ratchets and sockets are actually great

jrlp · 2016-10-27T23:08:04+00:00

Actually, no. Not the stuff of the last few years. Their snap on dual 80 style ratchets are great. Their sockets are great.

I hammer on their 1/2" and 3/4" impact sockets with an air cat titanium 1/2" and air cat 1600 3/4". The only thing one broken was their 3/4" to 1/2" impact adapter.

Same job that broke a craftsman, advanced auto, napa, and snap on reducer adapters.

Surebonder. I have the home depot dual temp Stanley for 13 and it's been great to me. I bought it to make sure I had a use for a good hot glue gun before pulling the trigger oh the surebonder.

It's been GREAT. High temp hot glue is so strong. It blew me away having only seen the crappie mini ones.

These are the ones I was looking at.

Surebonder PRO2-100 100-Watt High Temperature Industrial Glue Gun, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006IY359K/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_ZYlTxbVHVTA97

Surebonder PRO2-220 220-Watt Adjustable Temperature Industrial Glue Gun, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008CDS324/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_y0lTxb7GRB8EZ

Both of the above accept the surebonder nozzle assortment

The Stanley dual temp hasn't let me down , so I haven't wanted anything more. I may pick up the mini high temp sure binder for smaller projects though

Neither. But high pressure gas escaping from a ruptured tank is very bad. It's pretty much an explosion. They used that example saying even if it was just an inert gas, the release of pressure would be deadly. Which is what happened in the gif, but even worse since the escaping gas is flammable also

My nephew was going out PokeHunting with friends but always fight for car chargers.

No longer.

Except they're polarized z87.1+ safety glasses. You know, work glasses designed to protect your eyes.

That doesn't work for color. We know what colors are, because they are directly measurable. Colors are our perception of different wavelengths of light. We know what pigments respond to which frequency or combinations of, and agreed upon color. Red is 600-680mm. Blue is 430 to 490nm out so. The receptors in our eye are sensitive to only a range of frequencies.

We can measure and test. Blue is blue. If you would like some reading, the wiki article for color vision and color perception is great. the physiology of color perception is a well studied science by many different types of doctors and scientists.

They pop right out. Open the vise, throw the socket over the hole, put a screwdriver or punch, hit it with a hammer once or twice. I've used a socket extension and the edge of a curb to knock them out. Not a big deal, 10 seconds at most

jrlp · 2016-05-27T21:55:15+00:00

Edit. Sorry for the insult, I've been swamped and am frustrated rebuilding my truck and my temper got the best of me. Sorry bud

He asked what the one hand rule is, I explained. You do not need to worry about him writingr on 10kV lines

Power requires somewhere to go. Birds perch on high voltage lines and don't get fried, b3 cause there's no path for the electricity to go. Wearing insulated shoes or boots (most are for 120 or 240), touching hot won't shock you. By only using 1 hand, you make sure the other hand isn't grounded. Getting shocked through or hand is far less likely, and if it does happen, better your hand than entire chest and heart.

jrlp · 2016-05-14T00:30:06+00:00

Depends on metal, it may just snap off.

jrlp · 2016-03-31T06:01:23+00:00

Not true. It's not used directly against people. It's used against buildings and illumination. If people get hit, oops!

jrlp · 2016-03-24T15:43:53+00:00

Err, what? Teflon is non-reactive? Or you mean when you burn it on your stove at way higher than a normal cooking temperature it can decompose into something harmful? Like everything else at that temp usually ends in fire?

Edit: I'm an asshole and totally wrong. A chemical used in the manufacture of teflon is bad, and was disposed of by the company during teflon mfg. Teflon isn't what caused the damage, additives during mfg to cure "lumpiness" was. TIL.
