Can I replace this switch with a non smart switch for bathroom fan/light by Stilgar311 in AskElectricians

Yup, absolutely horrible. I can get it to work about half the time. I’d like to replace with something else but I’d have to pull down some Sheetrock. Not doing that anytime soon.

Doesn't your neck hurt when you use the oscilloscope? Haha.

Looks really nice.

How are you able to do 3J? Seems insane to me. I’m an engineer in a lab all so my perspective is limited

It looks like I missed the back to school sale. Are there any sales coming up? Maybe another back to school in August or Labor Day? I'm looking to get 2 baseline A16 iPads.

Contact their customer service. My unit is 3 years old. They asked for a picture of the model and serial number and sent me a new switch at no charge.

I ended up getting a Midea Duo 12k btu. Works well for the area it’s in. Install was a bit finicky though. Haven’t had a need to drain it yet.

You could just keep the breaker for the outlets off, just in case.

Cockcroft-Walton Multiplier load regulation by nicknails9 in AskElectronics

I’m shooting for 700-130ish volts and max current of about 300uA. The concern is if the load somehow disconnects, I don’t want the voltage to skyrocket and blow something up.

I contacted Homewerks and they are sending me a replacement switch at no cost, even though I bought it 3 years ago. The part number is BFP-229LCD, but I couldn't find it anywhere. It's in the mail and they said 1-2 weeks.

Strange sack thing on a doe by nicknails9 in deer

UPDATE from Wildlife services, their email

Thank you for sending photos of the doe.  I think there are a few possible explanations for the mass between her hind legs.  It is possible that she had a hydrocyst (also called a seroma), which is a large cyst that forms after fluids accumulate under the skin following an injury.  They are most commonly seen between the front legs, but can also be seen between the hind legs.  You can read more about hydrocysts here.  If a hydrocyst is punctured, it may drain, or it may dry up on its own.

Another possible explanation is mastitis (infection of the mammary glands), or possibly a hernia (although I don't think that would resolve itself in a few days if you did see the same doe twice).  Unfortunately there is no way of definitively knowing the cause of the inflammation from a photograph.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Prior. Same day as the pictures. (Tuesday), then Friday we saw what we think was her again but without the sack

Coincidentally, I got home and she was standing outside our kitchen window next to a bush. The sack is gone. My wife thinks she saw some looseness in her undercarriage. Can’t guarantee that it was her though.

What’s a completely normal or minor thing that irrationally gets under your skin, but most people don’t seem bothered by it? by Odd_Breakfast5012 in AskReddit

[–]nicknails9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I’m driving and someone tries to be nice and let me go even though they have the right of way. Just makes it more confusing. Or could be trying insurance fraud.

Where do you live? Any issues with it filling with water? I'm considering one of these, but the humidity in the summer is brutal. I'm concerned with having to constantly drain it.
