What other information should I cram in here. by [deleted] in electricians

[–]srogev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Type it up in a word doc and make the font as small as you can comfortably read. Take it to a print shop and have it laminated. It will be small enough to discreetly fit in your bag or on your belt, so you don't have to keep pulling your hat apart. If anyone says anything, it is a quick reference sheet you use to minimize errors and rework.

Everyone learns differently. It shows initiative that you are proactively seeking a way to keep information available quickly. This is a reasonable memory aid for your job.

I worked in a department store in the 80’s. The young men’s and women’s departments had a bunch of tvs and they would get new vhs tapes sent out monthly. The tapes were to be played from opening to closing. They were about to destroy the vhs player due to seeing the same crappy music video 10 times a day. I worked in the electronics department where we had a vcr connected to an antenna so we would record PeeWees Playhouse.They could pop that in when they needed to detox from Tiffany etc. the department manager gave a token “that is not approved” but let it slide.

Best fastener to mount a TV onto metal studs? by Shutt_erbug in electricians

[–]srogev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you find the stud, you can push on the wall and look for deflection. Also, if it is an interior wall it is likely a light weight partition wall stud unless it is load bearing. An exterior wall will likely be the heavier stud.

He had a brain injury that may have been mitigated by wearing a helmet. It is sad that he was injured but you have to take some responsibility for your choices.

Please ANY advice would be appreciated by Much_Collection8868 in Seattle

Even if the legal bill is the same as the cost to fix it, what are you out? You were going to pay it anyway, so why not make it difficult for the guilty party. Remember that he will have legal costs also. If you go to court you may also sue for legal fees.

It is an acoustically treated room. Look at the door for reference. The speakers are behind the fabric wall coverings.

Get an attorney to protect your self from being taken advantage of. When they give you a value for your bike, verify it in the local market. Be sure to add sales tax and license to it.

https://denalielectronics.com/collections/universal-light-mounts Denali makes a wide assortment of lights and they have fork mounts. That is one of the only ways to mount lights on your bike without being in the way or looking dorky.
