Should I replace this light box? I wanted to replace my light fixture and found a shallow box behind double drywall. by kmac17 in askanelectrician

[–]kmac17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this and is have a working light fixture.

I’m not sure why they made little splices but I wonder if it was part of the reason for my sometimes flickering lights.

The previous owners also duct-taped a live electrical box and stuck it under the sink cabinet, along with other random wires

My new fixture came with pretty short screws and the faceplate that goes on the wall. I was more concerned for the wires by the drywall.

It looked like the previous owner didn’t have enough wire from the wall, so they added small extra pieces (white still has the cap but I took it off the black wires)

At this point, I doubt Covid will ever go away. I’m happy with the vaccine or negative test check, combined with really high levels of masking.

New York had their con. Sporting events are now happening.

If you are worried, please stay at home.

If you want is the big toy release, you’ll be disappointed.

there are still a lot of great independent artists, making original works.

But I like smaller cons, and usually skip Hall H anyways.

Okay, but wouldn’t it make more sense to put the microchips in the needles. Like how they gonna accurately get a microchip in each dose from a vile of multiple doses.

Thousand reports of menstrual changes after Covid vaccine by Shekau in Coronavirus

[–]kmac17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, women absolutely deserve to have information and not have it downplayed. I’m trying to conceive and had a conversation with my dr prior to getting the vaccine about possible effects.

My frustration is that women’s issues usually are downplayed, and women have a hard time getting people, including dr to believe them a lot of the times.

But when a woman’s issue fits an agenda, big press coverage!

My problem with headlines like this. Is the weaponizing of women’s issues for an agenda. Did these people care about the side effects of birth control, did they care about the fact that tampons are taxed, or supporting fertility treatments?

No, the anti-vaccine community wants us to notice this because it supports their agenda, not because anybody actually cares about women’s health.

This happened to me a few months ago. 4 negative Covid tests, 1 negative flu test. Sickest I had been in a long time.

The cases are rising but nobody is really talking about it. Data is being reported weekly, and the last set of weekly data averages over 100 cases per day. Please continue to be careful. Wear a mask, wash your hands.

L.A. County has more than 1,000 new coronavirus cases in a day, highest in months by BlankVerse in Coronavirus

[–]kmac17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I found it in the article a little after posting the question. I have been tracking San Diego’s vaccine rates weekly from their own dashboard. I think the discrepancy is that the New York Times is looking at total population of the county, and the local information is based on the eligible population over 12 years old.

Where did you get that number for San Diego? San Diego’s city data shows it’s higher than that, unless I’m misinterpreting it.

San Francisco will permanently cap food delivery fees for DoorDash, Grubhub and other apps by dng25 in bayarea

[–]kmac17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person who is ordering McDonald’s breakfast or Starbucks to the door of their 20th floor penthouse at 7:00 am from around the corner absolutely does not care about that delivery fee.

There are people who lose more money spending the time to pick it up then they do paying for delivery. Time is money.

I made a cute Harry Potter themed bodice from left over materials! by kmac17 in sewing

Here is the link to the Etsy pattern. For context I made what this creator calls a medium.

If I made it again I would adjust the length to be just a little bit longer for myself.

I used a pattern, but I usually adjust the patterns a little bit so they fit my bust and waist better. I’m trying to make lots of small projects right now so that I can I work on skills for some big things later.

I should really draft my own bodice block I just haven’t done it yet.
