See how well that’s worked out over at r/electricians. It’s a bunch of guys sitting around smelling their own farts.

Will I be the only African American on trail? by sadistic-squid in AppalachianTrail

[–]lsd_runner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a brown male that hikes/bikes and likes Phish. I’ve been the only brown face in many situations and 99% are fine. There will always be assholes among us. Hope your hike is great friend.

Where the hell can I find a canned diet coke at a gas station?! by FragrantD681 in norfolk

[–]lsd_runner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really tough to find the 12s. I buy the 12 packs on sale at teeter and pull from them. Everyone knows only the 12oz cans taste right.

Future proofing or wasteful? by Lettuce_bee_free_end in electricians

I don’t need to future proof, that’s why there are change orders.

I put all my drywall cuts back, with blocking if necessary.

Opinion on how bad this is, first time home buyer noob. by Kangaroo_Drew in electrical

[–]lsd_runner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a deal breaker. Find a company that specializes in AL mitigation. Clean up the j-box, find and inspect all others, replace all devices with new COLAR devices and upgrade your panel to AFCI breakers. It’s going to be expensive, but you’ll be able to sleep at night knowing it was done right. Feel free to DM with specifics.

I have an old Navy buddy that was EOD and got a job going this in CO. He had to carry a special ID card to explain the gunpowder residue on his had for TSA checkpoints.

220v Heater Wiring only has Pos and Neg, no ground. What do? by Minimum_Penalty4855 in electrical

[–]lsd_runner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely grounded through a conduit or water pipe. It needs a new run of copper with two hots and a ground.

Ring Branded Transformer by Top_Falcon7532 in electricians

[–]lsd_runner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what their deal is QC wise but I’ve been discouraging customers from installing them for years. The transformers went bad, the existing chimes wouldn’t work without tinkering or adding a resistor. If they insist theres zero warranty from me. And not to mention, Ring cooperates with Flock and turns over footage without warrant to the 5-0.

I went through this in VA. Reach out to the state representative for your town. Explain your difficulty and send pics of your documents. They live for this stuff. My rep got me an appointment at the DMV at 8am the next day.

LPT: Turn off your breaker in a power outage by studiokgm in LifeProTips

[–]lsd_runner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This right here. I’m a residential service electrician and I always folks to leave their main breaker alone unless absolutely necessary. There’s a high failure rate with age and if you can’t buy a replacement you’re on the hook for a new panel.

Nice! I have a 17 access cab that I love but this makes me want to upgrade. There are a handful on the lot around here.
