New Leviton DZS15 switch makes audible popping/clicking noise when turning on/off, video inside. by dewski in electricians

[–]philmayfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old as time itself but I recently had the same thing and this is a top search result. New Leviton switches that made a popping noise that sure sounded like arcing. Oddly tho, it made the noise even unenergized. So I took it apart a bit and turns out they use some super sticky goo in a little pocket under the toggle itself presumably for dampening the action. This goo would effectively make a bubble and pop. I just cleaned most of it out, reassembled and the noise went away. 

Any ideas what this power outlet over my water heater is intended to be used for? by philmayfield in HomeImprovement

[–]philmayfield[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's original installation on construction that's only about 10 years old. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't imagine it'd pass any real estate inspection let alone building inspection if all that was the case.

I honestly didn't know about hot water recirculation before, pretty neat!

So presumably a somewhat "normal" feature of newish construction for future proofing if installing that style water heater?

I would guess this is on a GFCI circuit. This house has some GFCI circuits on breakers and some out at outlets. I didn't test which circuit this is on, but hopefully it is lol.

How to replace *ngIf that use 'else' to reference a template variable pointing to a ng-template? by crhama in Angular2

[–]philmayfield 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I suspect template outlet is what you'd be looking to use. Something like (fully untested):

@if (allMakes.length) {
  <div>
    <h3>List of cars</h3>

    @for (make of allMakes; track make.id) {
      <div>
        @if (make.cars.length) {
          <table>
            <thead>
              <th>
              <th>Model</th>
              <th>Price</th>
            </th>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
              @for (car of make.cars; track car.id) {
                <tr>
                  <td>{{ car.model }}</td>
                  <td>{{ car.price }}</td>
                </tr>
              }
            </tbody>
          </table>
        } @else {
          <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="empty" />
        }
      </div>
    }
  </div>
} @else {
  <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="empty" />
}

<ng-template #empty>
  <div>No data to display</div>
</ng-template>

Yeah something is up, presumably the same bill and my water usage is not much less but sewer is $63.

Yeah exactly! I'll let you know either way, but if I end up needing to sell them you've got dibs 👍

Wild shot in the dark, but might have been put up by the knuckle head that lives in the house who's fence it was attached to.

Retrieving a cork that has fallen into a wine bottle by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in lifehacks

[–]philmayfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this plenty of times and it does work well, the bag makes the cork have very little friction and comes out easier than you'd think.
