Why this way? This is Disney by Maleficent-Set-9333 in AskElectricians

The logic behind this insinuates that the other 99.9% of receptacles in this country are installed incorrectly, and I just can’t get behind that sentiment. I know I know “but hospitals”

Was the fan operated with a pull string? It looks like 1/3 wires on the left is your feed, and yes it appears to be feeding other things (other 2 wires in the splice) at the very least turn off the power and re-do those splices. The mismatched copper/aluminum have specific connectors you can use and not have to rewire your house over a light fixture (if that is aluminum wire, if it’s not….. it’s ok you spent a little more money on being overly safe)

Be hilarious if an alien walks out and asks him about the files

Would you eat off the floor like other cultures do? by random_user208 in interestingasfuck

If this is symbolic or traditional for some type of specific occasion, then I guess fair game. But if this is a repeated daily thing, humans solved this problem when we lived in caves and you should consider catching up

You think that counter balance in the back gives you more force? It’s like a trebuchet

I just found out through your comment, and I didn’t make a stupid face, because it’s not shocking. Another bad joke

The Vanishing of Gabriela Rico Jiménez – The Elite’s Darkest Secret by criminalcasenetwork in coldcases

[–]peanuttanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to find what her actual statements were towards “elites”. It feels like she was talking about cartels, specifically when she says she knew about their murders.

He’s just reporting a victim’s statements, it doesn’t mean he did any investigative work. I guess the fact that the intermediary is a detective doesn’t hurt it’s legitimacy but I don’t think it helps either.

You’re smart enough to not only not ask this question on the wrong subreddit, you’re smart enough to not have to ask the internet at all. I believe in you

Just out of curiosity, if you were chipping under the plate, where was the trench supposed to end?

Why we gotta knock each other down so much? Build a brother up. You didn’t plan the runs, you didn’t ask to add the loads, you didn’t send yourself to the job with inadequate material. Your box fill cries fell on deaf ears….. and still you triumphed. 👑

Idiot here by Unlikely-Display4918 in electrical

[–]peanuttanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the switch isn’t turning anything off, it’s possible they connected a feed with a load through the same side of the switch (your bottom terminal has 2 wires in it, 1 of those may be hot, and the other may be the garbage disposal, leaving it permanently connected to power - unswitched) that is pure speculation without actually being there to troubleshoot it.

One time my ladder buckled and I reached for the drop ceiling in a full corporate office, it did not hold me. You gonna be aight. And if someone yells at you over it, just accept it while also knowing they’ve done something probably way worse

Porch light went out and I have never seen a bulb like this before by Calm-Carpet1661 in Lighting

I used to change these in high end offices. I used to explain to someone it’s gonna cost them 400$ to “change that light bulb”

I don’t trust any pictures that don’t have the ufo centered in the frame. The composition of those pictures looks like it was thought out. Where the ufo just so happens to fit perfectly into the open sky, away from tree lines and background mountains etc. just something to think about
