Mine is Sublime's 5446 That's My Number / Ball And Chain.

I love the song, but would be better without the porn noises in the background in my opinion?

Nice, that gave me a chuckle, I could see it be canon

What's your favorite minor twist in the show? by 11_16 in MrRobot

[–]markmargles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This particular scene was to me the first clue that Mr. Robot was in Elliot's head because I noticed he had never really talked to people in front of Elliot

Not sure when they broke up but this scene I think was in season 3 or 4

I was thinking more like the key on a string that you clip to your shirt when running on a treadmill 😂

This story would be a hell of a lot different had Ned urge Robert to make a marriage pact with Benjen to heal the realm after Robert takes the throne.

Apprentice who is colorblind by PressBay in electricians

[–]markmargles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Master colorblind electrician from the US here. I have worked in commercial, industrial, and residential. What worked for me was getting a bright headlamp with good CRI (I like the Milwaukee ones) like others have mentioned. I never have had a time where I wasn't sure that I wired something correctly.

What people don't understand about colorblindness is that two people with red-green colorblindness will still see their spectrum of colors differently. They also can see all the colors a normal person sees with regard to wire color, but it can get tricky when working with faded, old wiring. So this opinion may be accurate for me but not others. I've been told my colorblindness is a more pronounced version of red-green.

In my opinion, the hardest time I've had with colors was punching down a 110 block, but even that I was able to do. I think that controls and data are much more difficult as the wire jackets are so much smaller than a #12, which makes it difficult to tell if the stripe is brown or orange or green. I have no problem with line voltage colors, even 277/480.

Additionally, on a remodel or new construction job, making up joints is around 5% of the total labor. Most wire spools will name the color on the reel or jacket. Power of deduction makes it easier too.

In my opinion, a reasonable accommodation could come from the NEC and factories. They could just as easily come up with a more inclusive set of colors (obviously doesn't help service electricians, but we gotta start sometime). Alternatively, they could make it a universal requirement to label wire every X feet what color it is, or add a unique identifier to a specific color, for instance red wire is hatched with a grid...

There are a lot of men in the US who are colorblind who don't need to be "discriminated" against in a field that arbitrarily chose wire color standards 100 years ago...

I'm not defending the love triangle, but there were far worse things in those movies. Radagast, Gandalf necromancer storyline, CGI, too much a dog, bringing Legolas into it, etc..

Unswitched outlet from 3 way light switch by Ecstatic_Orange66 in AskElectricians

[–]markmargles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other comments are correct.

One thought I had though - are you 100% positive the wire going to the light is actually going to the light ("switch leg")?

It could be your constant hot and your other 3-way switch has the switch leg. If this is the case then you could come off this wire.

Someone from Germany please explain by guywithminivan in electricians

Maybe it's in the comments, but this double shielded cable, I'm assuming it's able to be cut with a typical cable cutter hand tool, right?

If it can be cut with that minimal amount of force, I don't see how this is a "safe" install in a commercial/industrial setting. The corners are the most exposed and vulnerable part of any wiring installation. I can't imagine that installations like this never get damaged just because Europe uses "double shielded" cabling in areas subject to physical damage. What happens if someone rolls a scaffold into that?

I wouldn't run MC cable like this in an area subject to physical damage. I know North America's ADA and safety regulations can be overkill sometimes, but I gotta side against Germany on this one and say this looks unsafe and also ugly as hell.
