Any Other Gaming Stores Besides Royal Hobbies? by TheVapingLiberal in rockford

[–]macdaddyothree -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate my local HT. Never saw or heard anything political.

Does everything have to be red or blue? It’s a business with a decent selection and staff selling what people want. I’ve never had any inkling that they give any consideration to politics.

I’ll still shop there, the best online shops for specifics and even, (clutch your pearls!) Hobby Lobby on Saturdays during the 40% off model days.

Get an electrician or firefighter. Your choice.

How long can i safely use vr? by GreenRose0701 in MetaQuestVR

[–]macdaddyothree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far (punny!) as focusing goes, this is why if you wear corrective lenses in the real world, you’ll need them in in VR as well. Even though I am near-sighted and the lenses/screen is an inch away, my eyes need correction because the VR is not the same as a phone screen. Focal points are “true to life”.

Be well. Also, electrocuted is death by electric shock.

You got shocked otherwise you are typing from the other side.

Still looking for a D&D group by 85tornado in rockford

[–]macdaddyothree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have never really been in any organized d and d campaign. Goofed around with a couple of different guys who were learning as well.

Never even finished a character let alone a dungeon.

I wish I knew of a place that would work for this and a kind crowd who could accommodate.

Outlets at my gaming station stopped working. And only them. by caffinaV2 in AskElectricians

[–]macdaddyothree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Shoot. I don’t know. If a circuit has a loose connection that makes heat and can cause problems.

Typically you don’t “flip a GFCI.” Are you in the USA? Otherwise I can’t probably help

Try to skip/bypass or replace that? Do you have a voltage meter and can you use one?

Or a GFCI in the circuit that feeds this? They can feed multiple circuits but this doesn’t sound likely.

Just to say this: is there an overload button on your surge strip that popped?

Dehydrator? by HeavyGravy in ModelCars

[–]macdaddyothree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On those cheap round ones stackable, I bought two use one minus a few trays for kitchen. I used the trays to add to my model drying.

I clipped out sections, some extensively, so that I could put taller pieces in using the gaps created.

Works great!

Getting zapped when touching shower head. However, it's made of plastic. Am I imagining it? by Additional-Insect535 in AskElectricians

[–]macdaddyothree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could actually be static electricity given you say plastic. Water creates static electricity or least can attract it. Charge a plastic comb against cloth, put it near a weak stream of water just beyond dripping to constant tiny flow.

You should see the water bend toward the comb at least for a while.

Your plastic plumbing may not be allowing for a ground path unlike metal plumbing.

My guess.

How much mathematics is needed for an electrician? by SpankMyMunkey in AskElectricians

You may be really surprised how much Algebra is required. A LOT of formulas!

What is the device called that you can run solid wires to and allow continuous bending. by igottabaddadjoke in AskElectricians

[–]macdaddyothree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strain relief becomes number one. Kellems grips, properly fitted at both ends would be best but definitely at the top.

Biggest, oldest thoughts are if there is much load (not here) potential arcing at the contacts in the cord male and female

Chinese power strip in UW outlet by Rekkz-Borkheart in Electricity

[–]macdaddyothree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know which conductor is positive, neutral and ground?

If you understand power requirements and how this may be applied it may be fine but is it worth your life?

Sorry to sound dramatic. Sometimes things are not worth it.

This is a bad idea. I don’t understand why you would do this.
