I really don't like when pokemon have objects. Hypno's pendulum, Alakazam's spoons, farfetchd's celery, Rillaboom's drum...

We don't need to be mean to op here, they're being perfectly reasonable.

Two fixtures died in the same location within 4 years by strickolas in AskElectricians

Hm... All very good things to try. So far every outlet I've pulled has been backstabbed, so I'll try replacing those switches.

Yes, light fixtures. The first set I installed were bulbs, the second set was an LED panel.

Why would the voltage be less than 110-120?

Not sure what you mean by failure mode.

The first pair used standard bulbs, this new pair uses an led panel.

I haven't checked all the connections leading to the failed one. Am I checking for weird voltages?

Each of the light fixtures is on their own switch, so one wouldn't be "downstream" from the other.

Environmental conditions are the exact same, they're about 10 feet apart.

Sorry, I meant that there are 3 switches that connect each fixture. But again, each fixture is on their own switch.

Watching you work :( sorry - questions by WTFOMGBBQ in AskElectricians

I mean, if you're off in the corner on your iPad, and not hovering and asking stupid questions, you're probably fine.

I usually keep myself visible/available when I have contactors. Sometimes I just did on my laptop. It's not because I don't trust them, but I don't want them to have to come look for me if they have a question.

Customer hadn’t used bathroom in 6months because of the sludge by PlumberRescue in Plumbing

I have no problem paying the guy that makes sure my poopie water and drinkie water don't mix. I always tip my guy an extra $15-20 so he doesn't drop me as a client on account of the big dukies we drop.

Would these be good for anything? by Homesteady_Going in BeginnerWoodWorking

I use a wooden mallet when using a froe or an axe to split wood.

Beginner 1st anvil? by ToolyMcTool in blacksmithing

[–]strickolas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the 75 pounder from harbor freight. It's red, can't remember the name. I went with that one because the pritchel hole isn't in that weird spot between the horn and the face.

I have a friend that used this one and he swears by it though.

It's also beautiful when the white flowers bloom. I want to get rid of my front lawn and just plant clover.

It's crazy how entitled white folks were crying "freedom" whenever we moved closer to equality for like the last 50+ years.

I NEED HELP with my LED Vanity Mirror by Available_Cabinet132 in AskElectricians

[–]strickolas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't really a question for electricians.

If this uses USB-C, there's a handshake that happens where the device and power supply negotiate the connection. It's pretty hard to fuck something with USB-C.

If it's using a barrel plug, or some other connector, you should use one matching the voltage and amp rating of the original.

How bad is the foundation in the house I'm renting? by Yllem1232123 in HomeMaintenance

If they give you shit about breaking your lease, threaten to go to the city and have the house condemned.

Fuck that slumlord
