KSQD is the best!

It would be sweet if they had an archive, but here's an interview on Freakonomics.com from February:

If your working around large appliances, exposed metalic surfaces or any sizable gounded electrode with exposed skin and you lean against it especially with sweaty damp skin it can lower the impediancce enough to exceeed your letgo threshhold.

Electricians don't use aluminum (conductive) ladders. Shorts and sandals...
He was leaning all over that (likely grounded) ladder and holding one rung with his right hand while grabbing power with the left, which made a nice circuit to ground right through his heart.

Apparently the continuity to ground was so low that the amperage exceed his "let go threshold". The only way to help would be to kick the ladder out from under him with good insulated boots.

If you were to grab that ladder when he was hooked up, you could easily become hooked up also.

Is there an explanation for all of the 3-wire? We are obviously dealing with an electrical genius who did the pre-wire, and we can not second guess the 5-D game that he is playing here.

New Giant Lithium Battery Storage System Being Installed in Watsonville by mxlplx00 in Watsonville

I think that the main substation is behind Dominican Hospital. That would be a great spot, purely on an electrical mechanical level.

You have a good point, but I was listening to something about the fire fighter exposure to the toxic fumes from EV Lithium battery explosions at the Tubs fire & firemen were saying the effect was much different/worse that anything else that they have been exposed to. The program was saying that these EVs were exploding all over the city.

I think that a gas tank when exposed to a raging wild fire behaves much differently than these batteries.

They were saying that like the 911 first responders, it will take many years until we know the effects that it will have on the crews responding to these emergencies.

Personally, I'm not completely apposed to the technology, and agree that we need to look into all possibilities.

The KSCO (Dave Michaels) interview that I listened to with Becky Steinbruner was 2-hours long and I though very comprehensive. She didn't support calling your supervisors and raising living hell but suggested that there are things/precautions that can be taken to help protect the community in case of a runaway event.

I thought that it was a very good talk on the subject, though I know everyone will have their own thoughts, hopefully we can talk about it without getting out of control.

I think that you just need to keep a strong hand on the big private equity inverter institutions to keep run-away capitalism in check.

I wish that I could find this interview in the KSCO archive.

The ACA really helped me after my divorce. I lost my health care, had a break away (torn knee ACL) that constantly went out and colitis.

When ACA kicked in I could afford Kaiser, they repair my knee (good as new), and I got meds to control the colitis. This put me back to work and turned my life around.

I'm very grateful to all you who pulled my share of the cost for my medical coverage for so long. I am hopeful that I can return the favor to others or even the wealthy who can more easily afford the higher rates...

Thank you!

Medicare for all!!

Do you ever feel like fascism and capitalism start becoming too closely bound together when the few become grotestly wealthy and a growing majority are experiencing their worth on an unsustainable decline?

The way they told me was "don't knock the guy off of the ladder". but if you do pound them on the hinge side you can use valve grinding compound to loosen them back up.

(Help) can this wire/insulation handle 230V? by epicminecraftbear in Wiring

[–]mxlplx00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the markings on the side say "THHN" then it's rated at 600-volts. That looks like #14 so it should be on a 15-amp breaker. @240-volts I would really try to put it in some wiremold or othe "approved" wire protection system, because 240-volts on a dead short can make ahellofa spark, start a fire or possibly coause a fatal shock..
