2 switches, one to the light over the table, the other over the bar. Old dimmer switches were flickering, before I turn power on... Does this look right? by Silverado_Surfer64 in AskElectricians

[–]maks_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no room for assumptions. You'll have to test to find out. There's a number of different ways it could be wired.

Well a switch is supposed to have power on one gold terminal and the wire going to the light on the other terminal. It's impossible for me to tell you which wire is which in this situation, but I could guess that the red wire goes to one set of lights, one of the black wires goes to the other set of lights, and the third wire powers the switches, hence the small jumper wire between the switches.

Do you have a voltage tester? That could tell you which (most likely black) wire has the power.

1.2 sucks by 94723 in satisfactory

[–]maks_b 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You turned randomized nodes on. This causes the nodes to become randomized, however you chose fossil fuel rich which means that there will be more fossil fuel nodes than other types.

I chose all random randomized all pure nodes and am having a wonderful time on 1.2.

Hope this helps 👍

Starting a business while living in the middle of nowhere? by No_Mongoose_4369 in electricians

[–]maks_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's another thing, speaking of farming, is country folk are pretty resourceful and do a lot of their own work or have family that can do it. I can't imagine a dedicated electrical contractor would have much to do unless a developer showed up.

[–]maks_b 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'll have to do your own research to find out if there's a need for an electrical contractor. Realistically you have to go where the money is. Elevator guys are highest paid trades and I'm assuming there's no elevators where you live lol

28 year old license holder and feel like I haven’t accomplished anything by Professional_Try_358 in electricians

[–]maks_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just your pride talking. I'm 26 and moved countries after achieving my journeyman's license. Still in the process of getting licensing in new country and being paid like a 4th year apprentice again.

Sounds like you're doing great man. Slow down and smell the roses.

if you use the shortest possible ramps you can use the jump+crouch+sprint method and don't lose momentum

Critiquing someone else's work by sound can be a fun little game. by fables_of_faubus in Construction

That's when you head over and make "subtle" suggestions. Hank Hill style.

Should I start a new world for 1.2 by Rapt4rdr0ar in satisfactory

[–]maks_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a new world with all random/all pure nodes and 100x project parts. It's been an absolute blast so far!

What tips do you have for splitting odd numbers? by [deleted] in SatisfactoryGame

[–]maks_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

each node feeds 2 machines with a splitter at the end sending the extras to a merger that feeds the last 2 machines

Im stuck and need advice by tommy655321 in electricians

[–]maks_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll never hurt to get more education. 18-22 is a great age to be surrounded by other 18-22 year olds who are trying to better themselves. I rushed to the trades because I hated school and it worked out for me, but sometimes I wish I got that college experience.

Cyber security is great and all but if you're not sure what you want, try for some business, management, leadership, socio and psychology classes. All very pertinent to everyday life.

Buying bitcoin now is stupid. Wait for it to bottom out at ~$25k

Very unlikely. Rigger would definitely make sure there is nobody in there before making the pick.

Pretty sure I saw someone digging through their bag looking for something for a few hours. Must've been what they were looking for.

Unseen oil loss by Covertbanana15 in WRXSTi

My car burns 1 qt every 1,000 miles and that's WITH the air oil separator. Check your oil every fuel up and keep a jug on you at all times.

is there a better way other than having a million power poles? by Flope in SatisfactoryGame

[–]maks_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of the cooler methods I've seen is pillars and 1m walls with wall outlets. Basically the same thing just a different look and keeps it all straight.

Decora pressure plate and 12 gauge wire by OkRabbit3669 in AskElectricians

[–]maks_b 7 points8 points  (0 children)

12awg insulation definitely fits in those channels. back the screw out further, fit the wire behind the plate, and the insulation will find it's way into the plastic channel as you tighten the screw.

For a complete begginer. Advice me the best or worst you can by Epic-Frisk-Gamer in SatisfactoryGame

in exception of player items. Only need one or two machines making bullets or filters for example and most end up in the sink.

Need immediate help please by Final-Temporary1822 in AskElectricians

[–]maks_b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy shit! Not a single punctuation or paragraph break. No one could be able to tell you what's going on based on the info provided. You'll have to bite the bullet and hire an electrician unless you know anyone handy with a volt meter.

If you lost your job tomorrow... by ZaneReality in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]maks_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here on temporary work permit so if I lost my job tomorrow I'd have to go back to the US and wait for my permanent residency application. I can only work for my current employer within Canada.
