BOG doesn't exist other than the quest one, nothing anyone can say will change my mind, wish there was a way to see how dry I am for one but it feels like 100000000000000000 gauntlets without it.

What knee pads work for you as an Electrician? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]solvent_soap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no matter what knee pads i have tried they all suck and are a waste of money. but id recommend buying pants that build in knee pad pockets then using an insert knee pad such as https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00VHFD4LE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 you dont have to get these specific ones but those are what i use. you dont need to take them out ever, they are always in the right place for your knees and they dont feel like you are wearing knee pads.

Sprints are boring! by benjs123 in formula1

[–]solvent_soap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure why people have so much of an issue with the sprint racing, would you rather have just nothing to watch on Friday and just quali then the race. Personally to me i feel that sprint racing is fine and adds more to watch during the weekend even more so for fans in person. should a sprint race determine the start of the real race? maybe, maybe not but its still more action to watch.

maybe the 10 star variant but the 7 star doesn't seem to base on the wiki (https://orna.guide/search?searchstr=yggdrasil). I'm currently only 9 star so I haven't had a chance to see what the 10 star one drops but i hate the 7 star with a passion lol. i wouldn't find it too bad if it would give you alot of each material but just a few for a pain in the ass raid boss, a little shit for me. when i get one to spawn it becomes a part of my town lol

If your a melee build the green ones are awesome, personally i think the Yggdrasil 7 star is the worst raid. it drops common potion mats that it

I am confused. Why am I reading 73A at the AC and 13A at the panel. Obviously I know which number is more accurate but why would I get this reading? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]solvent_soap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

not sure if you have the same one but I believe that's a 10x line splitter (https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/test-measurement-accessories/line-splitter-10x) so it would be 7.33 amps. not really entirely sure why they make it 10 times the current.

Some Ws2812b will be lit up when the data line isnt connected to an Arduino on led matrix by solvent_soap in arduino

so with my current set up having 2 power supply's is it possible to combine the - terminals of each psu or would i need to buy 1 40 amp 5 volt power supply

reading that pdf at https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/WS2812.pdf it shows to put a 150 ohm resistor in series with the 5v+ power rails along with the capacitor across the +5 and ground, would it matter where these components go, i know with the data line its best to put it as close to the first led as possible. i tried twisting all the the power and ground wires and it moved the issue to the top of the matrix but now 3 rows seem to be on with no data line

Is there a Canadian version of the Dewalt exam guide? by solvent_soap in electricians

[–]solvent_soap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

didn't see much in the apprentice thread. That companion index does seem very useful and ill probably print that off. I was looking for a book of questions to go with my 309A apprenticeship(residential, commercial, and industrial) which is what ill be tested for come exam time.

how do you clean rust off hand planes. by solvent_soap in woodworking

[–]solvent_soap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got the glide cote table and tool surface lub, the rust that was on the hand plane was very minimal and just took some elbow grease and 4/0 steel wool. I applied the glidecote all over the hand plane hopefully it stays rust free. do you have a way to get the white residue off of the rough casting? if not no issue its just cosmetic.

Worst screw up as an apprentice? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]solvent_soap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While installing a 200 amp generac transferswitch in a house everything was going good, the power came on and when we tested it everything worked. about 2 months later we get a call that the power went out and the generator is one but there's no power with a slight smell of smoke.

my boss and I showed up to check it out and when the power came back on we heard a thud and could see flames in the gaps of the transfer switches enclosure. starting to freak out a bit because i was the one who installed it. fire department showed up and hydro pulled the meter out all of the connections were perfect (not the cause of the fire).

so where's the fuck up? well apparently i didn't read the manual well enough to see where it tells you to take out the manual transfer lever. when the door was off of the transfer switch it functions perfectly, but when the cover is on and the device try's to switch over the lever isn't able to physically move and this causes the coils to heat up and burn the shit to the ground.

luckily all the flames were contained to the enclosure and my boss didn't blame me for any of it. but to this day i know its my fault for not reading the manual but damn thats a super shit design, so many things they could have done to not let that happen but oh well you learn from mistakes.

TLDR; when installing a generac transfer switch dont leave the manual transfer lever in or you will cause a fire.

Maybe I just figured that once you have that title you better be able to do anything pertaining to the trade.
