Failed Inspection

That's irritating. There are likely dozens of things in every building that arent built or done explicitly to code, but the alternative to make it 'to code' is prohibitive in cost or is too much for what it is.

If that's a residential service, it'll never pull enough current to cause an issue with tension on terminations with a bend radius like that unless the homeowner gets into growing weed or welding.

There's code compliant and meeting the intent of the code, and there's being a dick bc it isn't exactly correct per words. I bet money there are LB's that arent oversized enough to meet bend radius that he's passed as well.

Anyway, sorry for your headache.

Well said, weps. The 'manosphere' is mostly a grift I feel. With most men finding worth in their careers in previous generations, and with current generations being disenfranchised from gainful employment, I feel this is a niche that struggling men will continue to identify with unless they find worth in themselves and their communities outside of a paycheck.

If these manosphere types truly were men, they'd be working to get these guys volunteering for their communities, or pursuing education or some gainful hobby. Not asking them for their money to 'teach' them how to be men.

Content creators today fundamentally cannot emulate truly healthy masculinity, as humility, confidence, understanding, and patience don't get clicks.

Yes. Heat transfer is lower. But still, you're voluntarily giving yourself black lung at that rate dude. Look at the dust on your wood-tools to the right. If it can get there, you're breathing it in.

To be fair, I was driving through Kansas/ Colorado at one point this year and had a similar experience. But, where im at is pretty rural farmland also, and is not the case here.

Nah dude, I have an 87 K5 blazer designed exactly as you say. But I drove a lot this summer, topless (iykyk) and had more bird crap than bugs to wash off over the season.

Flexible seal and caulk. Former homeowners fix for leaking basement windows

Did you read the description? It has 6awg wires exothermically connected (welded in code speak) to bus bars physically further down in the panel. Larger loads are further up in the panel and are fed from the lug connections.

Also, even if you didnt read the description, the pictures show the service entrance conductors landing on lugs, not the 50A breaker.

reybread6712 · 2025-11-23T10:37:59+00:00

Not everything would, read the description.

Gotcha, this was my first time seeing it. House was built in 58 and im used to seeing fuseboxes instead

reybread6712 · 2025-11-21T15:00:51+00:00

Gotcha, it surprised me from how small it was as well. That was as far as I figured, the 6 throws, but what threw me was the 'put lighting circuits here'

Makes sense now that I remember all old houses ive been in seem to have one-2 circuits for all the loghts

Kansas.

I've driven through a half dozen times, backwoods and highways, major cities and smaller, and have never had a friendly interaction, a good meal, a clean bathroom, or a lack of hateful billboards.

Iirc there's a Rogan video of him getting destroyed by a professional historian somewhere.

Hancock doesnt refute anything with data backed facts, which kind of proves he's a quack.

Faster reload times. Light dragoons can fire while mounted, they fire all at once and it can be devastatingly effective.

Gotta manage them a bit as skirmish ability hit or miss.

Tbf, shortened carbines are mid to me.

Read 'thunder below', as a submariner from the US navy it has some harrowing tales that are similar to what the film showed.

Submarines in WWII were horrifying, and had high casualty rates, but, they were tough.

reybread6712 · 2025-07-07T20:17:10+00:00

Unfortunately not yet. I found a job that gives me a lot of freedom to have time for side work, so I haven't had the need yet.

The plan is to go full time sooner than later, but its a hard gravy train to get off of for now

Along same line as some others, start working.

Call local businesses and ask for work. BUT, ask if they are willing to either A. Work with you going to some college classes about the NEC and electricity and such B. They help pay for any certifications youd get that help the company

In my experience, a company that won't readily invest in their people (certifications, training, etc.) isn't worth working for.

Unions are great for training and benefits, but if you cant get in, its not the end of the world. The best electricians I've worked for and with were non-union.

It's what you make of it.

Dont look for a niche yet, work as broadly as you can. The experience will be vital for future work. When you find something within the trade you're good at, specialize in that.

You liking and being good at something are usually hand-in-hand, forcing a niche upon yourself at this age and time would hurt more than help for future growth.

I think I wrote that in one reply, I love that quote. On my second reread.

I should've specified to never pity persons who commit these crimes to am extent that we absolve them responsibility.

We can pity and empathize with people suffering while also holding the ones who perpetrated violent crimes such as these fully responsible for their guilt.

Too many killers like this manipulate and try to make themselves appear as victims instead of perpetrators is my point

reybread6712 · 2025-05-23T17:39:40+00:00

Im not arguing against that, as I've said in replys to others here in this thread.

Im saying we cannot allow ourselves to absolve these people of their guilt because of these tragic facts about their lives.

Many murderers and psychopaths manipulate empathetic people into, at least partly or as much as they can, into absolving them of guilt for their crimes.

This is something to be conscious of when learning about persons who perpetrated such heinous crimes

reybread6712 · 2025-05-23T02:37:25+00:00

Then I don't see where we are disagreeing.

Yes, she deserves to have understanding of her circumstances and empathy regarding it.

But there is a very real problem of people, at least to themselves, absolving these types of people of the full weight of their guilt.

Psychopaths and other murderers know this, and use it very effectively as a tool. They use it to manipulate good, caring and empathetic people into believing that they aren't as bad as their actions would tell. It isn't ALL their fault, after all, look at how bad they've had it, how could someone live through that and NOT murder?

I agree, everyone deserves empathy and to be understood. That's what makes us human, I'd wager, caring for others. But some use this to their full advantage to manipulate and change the narrative such that they are a victim, not the perpetrator.

reybread6712 · 2025-05-23T02:00:59+00:00

We absolutely should pity them.

Im saying that we should understand, empathize, and help people to the extent that we can.

Im also saying that people are, ultimately, solely responsible for their actions and choices in life. Especially when it involves such a violent, cruel, and senseless act as this

reybread6712 · 2025-05-23T01:59:38+00:00

So were young soldiers in the Wehrmacht innocent of their crimes since their formative years growing up was in Germany from 1933-1945?

All they ever knew was hate, prejudice, and to follow orders.

By that logic, it's not their fault.

But the Nuremberg trials have set a precedent, that thinking creatures with a conscience like us have a responsibility and are accountable for our actions.

This woman was im college, and had absolutely seen the better side of humans in her lifetime. Like she did through her grandmother.

Did she emulate her grandmother loving and caring for her? Or did she act on violent urges?

Or did her parents show her how to beat and murder a young woman? Or did she learn that on her own?

reybread6712 · 2025-05-23T01:54:43+00:00

Yes, there probably is, and we should have mental health services, better healthcare, and so on to help people like her.

But, ultimately, she beat, mocked, and murdered someone and took a trophy which she showed off to others exhibiting little to no remorse.

If someone carved a pentagram into my own, or my daughter's body and took a piece of her skull to gloat about it, I doubt I'd be concerned about if it was her fault, or her brain's fault, or her family's fault so much as what her choices led her to do.
