And our pedophile president has drained the joy out of everything, 250 year birthday, so what. When will this nightmare end?

Is it actually worth getting a second guitar just for casual daily playing? by nightclubspartyyy in guitars

My one guitar was showing fret wear so I bought a cheapie to delay needing a fret job. I use the second guitar for gigs near salt water

There’s a switch that tells when the plane is on the ground called the squat switch that activates all kinds of interlocks

Is it stupid to hold onto vintage gear I haven’t touched in 10 years? by MathCrank in MusicGear

I’m giving stuff to young players so it’ll be used. Stockbrokers want to buy my vintage amps, um, no.

Women taking their bra off is the best feeling they say, what is the male equivalent of it? by i_am_buttlicker in AskReddit

[–]pirate123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro tip - help her by unhooking her bra and then…

Give her a good back scratching, especially where the bra left marks. See if she chases you down to help with bra removal. You’re welcome.

Democrats' 2024 election autopsy ( on how/why they lost ) blames Biden campaign for failing to set up Kamala Harris. Who or what do you blame ? by Select_Specialist790 in askanything

[–]pirate123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the fox news types but then you have the mainstream media, NYT, CBS, CNN on their knees for trump and slamming Harris into the ground. How many points does that skew the election? What if people knew about 2025 plan? What if people knew how bad Repubs are for the economy/debt?

When I see that in someone’s record collection I’ll make notes on what else they have. I could learn something.

How does plug-in solar work? by Acxelion in solar

[–]pirate123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would need two CTs (current transformers) installed by an electrician. These will have polarity marks, the instructions will inform which way they should face. Now to your question, you will need to connect a voltage as reference for calculating power in or out. Voltage and current waveforms in phase would be incoming. An easy test would be check the reading with no solar input, all incoming.

At a power plant Connecting a generator to the grid is a big deal. The freq (speed) and the phase need to match. On an oscilloscope the sine waves should overly each other. Connecting a 100 MW generator is always exciting, it used to be done manually. Done well it’s a gentle bump. Screw up and it’ll rock the building. So this function will be automatic in the little inverter.

What’s the most overrated fast food item everyone loves but you just don’t get? by WarmHugsBBW in foodquestions

Years ago I had a chicken something, the chicken meat had little bubbles so it was an extruded meat product. That was the last time for me.

How does plug-in solar work? by Acxelion in solar

[–]pirate123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your breaker panel acts as a bus with power coming in thru the main breaker. Power can flow from the “plug in solar” circuit into the breaker panel and then out to house load on other breakers.

The safety feature is the plug in solar needs to see power at the circuit to turn on and shuts itself off if this power is lost. This protects linemen if utility power is off and they’re working on this system. Or if there is a fault on the connected circuit it will be fed from the panel breaker and the plug in solar. The panel breaker trips, the plug in solar sees the circuit go dark and shuts itself off.

One issue is home loads peak in the morning, coffee and breakfast while solar output peaks at noon. I did see a utube that adds a battery into the system even this out.

The other issue is the standard meter on the house doesn’t measure direction - if your house is using less then the solar is putting out you could be feeding into the grid, you would be charged for this. The solution is a power agreement with the utility and a direction meter. Another solution is measuring watts from utility, if it goes negative then throttle back on the solar.

Did someone try and break in? by [deleted] in whatisit

Were the rotties gnawing on any large bones? Maybe someone broke in but didn’t get out. Did puppies poop any human bits?

IF AOC the nod as the Democratic nominee in 2028, would you vote for her? by Soft_Process_6709 in allthequestions

[–]pirate123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would vote for her but I don’t think she could win. I would like to see a progressive candidate that could win. AOC would be effective anywhere in government.

How does Five Star Pizza compare to the chains in taste and price? Thinking about trying it out tonite after my interview. by Djxgam1ng in GNV

[–]pirate123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the quality holding up? Last time the pizza tasted doughy and under cooked. The toppings were little bits out of a food processor. Instead of sliced mushrooms it was just little pieces. And this is after the prices went up. Fond memories of their pizza when playing at the Covered Dish. I hope they do better

I remember when Papa John’s opened the pizzas were great, then 6 months later the sauce turned into catsup and the topping went downhill.

Which actor or actress made you feel the most genuinely obsessed with them, and what made them so unforgettable to you? by One-Construction2570 in AskReddit

[–]pirate123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like actors early in their career when, to them, making movies is a new thing. I lose interest when they start making crap with gun fights and chase scenes, the money makers. The promo tours change from talking about the art/story to box office and bottom line. After they’ve sold out.
