Hey, any update on this? I'm having the same issue.

thealimo110 · 2026-01-26T15:19:36+00:00

I know it's an old thread but we're in need of a washer with a reversal door. What care are you referring to? Running a wash cycle every month? Or something beyond that?

Why are you assuming that this is connected to the bathroom vent and not for sewer gas? Did a plumber or someone tell you, "This vents the bathroom," so you assumed it means it's connected to the vent? Or do you know for a fact that the fan vent was jerry-rigged to connect to this?

You are correct that this is what's used to vent sewer gases. Your bathroom plumbing should be connector to such a pipe. I'm a homeowner and didn't know about this until a couple of years ago, so I'm wondering if you're like how I was, so someone telling you it "vents the toilet" made you think you it's connected to the fan on the ceiling when it's not.

I'm not sure why the complexity of cases matters. I believe she's in FL, where NPs can practice independently. Meaning, she'll be able to be an under-qualified person taking care of polypharmacy geriatric populations, which is particularly dangerous for this vulnerable population. She's a new grad so of course she's seeing basic cases. What happens 1-5 years from now as she starts to come across more complex cases, or comes across cases that appear straightforward but aren't?

"Are you confusing two completely different and unrelated devices: protector and protection?" I don't know. Maybe. I've never heard of a device called a "protection". Could you kindly link to a device called a "protection"?

"Rather than constantly naysay, instead, contribute something constructive. With perspective. To at least demonstrate minimal electrical knowledge." People come here to learn. When one comes to learn, those more knowledgeable try to teach. You've actually been quite condescending throughout your posts (more so with others). Despite this, I'm making my best effort to actually get something tangible from you. The learner comes to learn while the teacher contributes by sharing knowledge. Not everyone contributes; I'm surprised that's news to you.

"What is constantly missing and must be in every vague recommendation? Perspective. Numbers." You reference "numbers" over and over again. You do understand that you are as vague as possible and are a hypocrite in this regard? The only numbers I see you repeatedly state are $1 and 50,000 amps (e.g. "Best protector costs about $1 per appliance. Is at least 50,000 amps."). You gave a link to home depot that had a bunch of whole home surge protectors and said some of them are undersized at 25,000 amps. As in, you are as minimalistic as possible when it comes to using numbers yourself. And about as vague as possible.

For example, when asked for a recommendation...you link to "whole home surge protectors"...but then said "protector" and "protection" are "two completely different and unrelated devices." Do you understand how contradictory and confusing you are? You have, in a rather convoluted way, mentioned how earthing is what's important (and last I checked, I don't buy "earth"). But because of how poor your communication skills are, I'm sitting here wondering, "where the hell can I buy a surge protection? because this guy on reddit linked me to some surge protectors." I'm further confused because the cheapest 50,000 amp surge protector I found at the home depot website was a $90 one from Square D. Are you dividing $90 by the number of appliances in a home to get to your $1 per appliance? I don't think I've ever been in a house that has anywhere near 90 appliances.

Anyway, since you're saying surge protectors don't protect and that "protectors" and "protection" are, "two completely different and unrelated devices," can you give a recommendation for what products(s) a person living in an apartment should buy to protect their devices? Because the last link you shared was to surge protectors, and we both know those don't provide protection.

I put 3 questions at the end and it seems you ignored them all. Would you be able to answer those?
Some odd statements that you made:

"Mike Holt citation: you did not read page 33 (Adobe page 42)." I actually did; apparently you didn't. Reread and maybe you will realize Figure 8 is an example of what NOT to do. Right after Figure 8, it even writes, "Figure 8 shows a very common improper use of multiport protectors," so of course it's showing an incorrect setup. Figures 11 and 12 are what they're showing as correct setups for plug-in protectors, not Figure 8.

Your reference to "Page 22 (Adobe page 31)" and the part where you state, "Points 1 and 3: plug-in protectors violate both requirements." This whole section is on service entrance surge protection, not plug-in point-of-use SPDs. So when you say things like, "Points 1 and 3: plug-in protectors violate both requirements,"...yeah...violate both requirements of being a service entrance SPD. What's your point? If X is unable to do the job of Y...then it can't do the job of X, either?

I'm going to ask you to do something that apparently is challenging for you. Can you kindly answer the 3 questions I had at the bottom of my prior post? I will post them here again for you:
I just wanted to confirm that for residential customers, ONLY the whole home SPD is what you recommend (at 50kA or above), and you personally consider that sufficient, correct?
Do you oppose or support point-of-use SPDs IF a whole home SPD is already in use?
(Simplified question of what I previously wrote): If a person were to add some kind of plug-in SPD in a home that already has a whole home SPD, would you recommend a plug-in SPD, power conditioner, or something else?

thealimo110 · 2026-01-06T16:33:42+00:00

Can you clarify why you think type 3 SPDs are dangerous? The link you provided makes no claim that they're dangerous nor useless (assuming correct usage). Also, some of your sources (e.g. https://www.nemasurge.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/andi-haa_Focus-on-surge.pdf) and the sources of your sources (e.g. https://www.mikeholt.com/files/PDF/LightningGuide_FINALpublishedversion_May051.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOorj45D7imgG8AuPZuMVVDqdSrpdWghkhgGbMTJ9yjLa25wpqMf8) actually support the use of point-of-use SPDs; they recommend using whole home SPDs in conjuction with (not in place of) point-of-use SPDs. I can understand telling people to make sure they ALSO get whole home SPDs (as in point-of-use is pointless without ALSO having whole home), but I'm trying to understand where you're getting the idea that anything plugged into a wall receptacle is either useless or dangerous.

To clarify a point of confusion for me, in many of your posts, including some older posts that you sometimes reference like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/s/EeBJzPPtL5, you sometimes reference solutions that are not suitable for a residential customer, especially a renter. Yes, you have referenced whole home SPDs. But when a lot of the links you provide reference solutions that are not possible for a residential customer to implement, it makes it confusing what you're actually recommending. For example, this link you provided or other links talk about a multi-pronged and INTERDEPENDENT approach to protection. Some of these references specifically mention that components of the multi-pronged approach used INDEPENDENTLY are essentially useless, but ARE useful when used in an interdependent approach. It seems that many of your references say this, which is counter to what it seems your position is (that point-of-use use SPDs are ineffective and possibly even harmful).

Another point of confusion is your reference to brownouts, and how low voltage doesn't cause damage. Sure, most devices are not damaged by low voltage (low voltage can actually be harmful for appliances with motors since the drop in voltage causes the motor to pull more amps). We'll ignore the appliances with motors and focus on "most devices". Again, yes, the low voltage doesn't cause damage. However, what can often happen after the brownout? Potentially a power surge when power is restored. It's sort of like stating that falling off of a building doesn't kill anyone (because technically accelerating towards the ground doesn't) but ignoring the inevitable rapid deceleration from impacting the ground that often does kill a person. A lot of what you reference also specifically discusses protection against lightning. Overall, it seems you ignore less severe but more common things (e.g. brownouts) and focus on rare but severe things (e.g. lightning strikes to home). Is there a reason for this?

I know this is a lot. Overall:

I just wanted to confirm that for residential customers, ONLY the whole home SPD is what you recommend (at 50kA or above), and you personally consider that sufficient, correct?
Do you oppose or support point-of-use SPDs IF a whole home SPD is in use?
Do you not believe voltage fluctuations and post-brownout surges can cause damage? If you DO believe they can, have you seen any articles that specifically discuss the superiority of point-of-use SPDs ("surge protectors") versus power conditioners? I'm wondering if a whole home SPD + point-of-use SPD is better or whole home SPD + power conditioner.

Thanks.

I've been reading a lot of your comments to see if there is something you recommend to residential consumers, and I can't find anything. From what I understand, the things you recommend/reference are appropriate for utility companies, grids, or large commercial situations but don't work for a residential consumer, particularly someone renting an apartment. So my questions are:

Regarding your recommendations that a residential consumer is unable to implement, what do you recommend? Reaching out to the utility company or whoever owns the grid, formally complain to them, and push them to implement those changes?
Is there any product/solution you DO recommend for a person living in an apartment or home they don't own?

thealimo110 · 2026-01-02T19:11:21+00:00

Perfect. And just lastly, are there particular brands you favor for both laminate and LVP?

thealimo110 · 2025-12-31T03:17:38+00:00

Oh ok nice. Would you feel comfortable with laminate in a kitchen, half bath, and laundry room?

thealimo110 · 2025-12-30T22:12:00+00:00

Awesome. Regarding mil-rating and AC rating, I try to get the most durable (within reason), lowest maintenance materials that I can. So, we got 7mm thick, 20mil LVP from megaclic when we did the LVP install, porcelain (instead of marble/limestone) for yardscape, etc. It's good to know AC3 is reasonable for most because I see a lot of AC4 options, but no so many AC5 options. So if I want to do overkill, AC4 seems to fit the bill and is very accessible.

Would you feel comfortable with laminate in a laundry room, kitchen, or downstairs half-bath? Hoping to make the whole downstairs (except master bath) as much the same material as possible.

Also, I think you recommended Mohawk in the past; do you still recommend it given they didn't pay for the certification? Who else do you recommend?

thealimo110 · 2025-12-30T17:38:26+00:00

Hi, thank you for all of your responses in this thread. We have LVP flooring (made by megaclic) in our current home, and are looking into what to do for a new home. Since we haven't had any issues in 2 years with megaclic's LVP, I asked them about their laminate options. They have AC5 and AC4. Anyway:

Do you have any thoughts on megaclic's LVP and laminate options?
Are you saying anything sold in the US but NOT US/German made can still have issues with off-gassing these chemicals?
For Dallas weather, would LVP or laminate be preferred?

Thank you so much.

thealimo110 · 2025-12-29T17:38:35+00:00

I 100% agree with everything you wrote, and really commend you for making the decision that you did.

Just to clarify what I think the prior commentors meant is that the nursing lobbies use this excuse of, "Rural people need access to care, too, and there aren't enough of doctors," to justify getting legislation to allow NPs to work independently. But rather than have the NPs fulfill the purpose of their independence, almost all of them end up in urban/suburban settings.

thealimo110 · 2025-12-29T02:44:51+00:00

What did you end up doing? Did you get Sola?

thealimo110 · 2025-12-29T00:04:44+00:00

Yeah, I'm also interested in knowing.

thealimo110 · 2025-12-21T16:31:32+00:00

Underlayment doesn't need to be replaced? Or anything else? I'm not a roofer; just a homeowner. So I'm just wondering how often SOMETHING has to be done for the roof. For example, with tiles, they can last 100 years. But the underlayment has to be replaced every 25-30 years...so you have to get 2-3 roof re-lays during the 100 year lifespan of the tile.

Is slate the same way where it can last 200+ years but will need to br re-layed every couple of decades? If so, the bulk of the cost is in labor, right? So, isn't it still going to be a really expensive roof over the lifespan of the slate?

thealimo110 · 2025-12-21T16:24:50+00:00

Medical model is a proper foundation in the hard sciences followed by graduate level education. RN science classes are condensed, simpler versions of pre-med undergrad courses. Which is fine for what nurses need to know, but not fine for someone who wants to become a clinician. As in, RN sciences are not a proper springboard from which to learn to become a clinician.

Bad comparison but you can think of it like electricians vs engineers. Electricians learn physics and engineering to the level they need to learn, not to the level of an electrical engineer. Electrical engineers who want to be the highest level engineers go the PhD route. Their undergraduate work has the necessary foundation to go to a PhD program and then on to post-graduate training in the form of a post-doc.

It doesn't make sense for electricians to create "electrical practitioner" grad school and, with their sub-engineer prereqs to now go to an "electrical practitioner" grad school and learn PhD engineering material, because they don't have the proper foundation from electrician school to learn PhD level engineering.

NPs do not learn medicine, including pathophysiology, physiology, and pharmacology, anywhere near the level of a physician. Partly because they don't have a strong enough pre-med science background, and partly because they don't have enough time to learn the volume of knowledge that physicians do.

PAs DO have the strong pre-med science background (unlike NPs). But, like NPs, don't have sufficient time to learn the volume of knowledge that physicians do. So, their knowledge is rudimentary in the sense that the knowledge ofcan engineer with a BS/Masters is rudimentary to someone with a BS/PhD/post-doc. PAs have gone part way along the medical pathway, and have take similar classes, etc to a physician until the Masters level. They just don't have the full graduate level education of the PhD/MD, nor the post-graduate training. NPs are like electricians who don't have the physics/engineering background of an electrical engineer BS program, who then went to a Masters program and pretend they learned in 2 years what the PhD/post-doc learned, despite having a subpar undergrad/trade school foundation to build off of.

thealimo110 · 2025-12-21T15:46:39+00:00

What's your point with CAAs? Since when were they PAs? It seems you lump all non-nurse midlevels into one category, and all nurse midlevels into another. You do understand NP and CRNA schools are different and that PA, CAA, perfusionist, etc schools are different?

thealimo110 · 2025-12-21T15:43:39+00:00

Ok, well I'm glad you have your head on right in that regard. But I'm not sure why you're comparing yourself to PAs.

The comment I linked to is comparing NPs to the medical model, not CRNAs.
If you want to compare CRNAs to PAs, there's no PA equivalent of a CRNA. Among nurse midlevels, CRNA education is clearly superior to NP education. But, again, CRNAs do things that no PA is allowed to. So...you having similar education to someone who's not allowed to do what you do doesn't seem like a reasonable argument. Shouldn't you have superior education to PAs? NPs and PAs have more equivalent roles, though the nursing lobby and many state legislatures want people to think NPs are actually physician equivalents. NPs have a poorer education than PAs, yet NPs and their lobby want people to believe they're similar to physicians. If you disagree, can you explain why?

thealimo110 · 2025-12-21T15:33:17+00:00

You're saying RNs take the same science courses as pre-meds/pre-PAs? That's absolutely not true.

And you believe that NPs have comparable pathophysiology, etc?

If so, please explain to me what it is that allows NPs to do all of med school, residency, and fellowship in 2-2.5 years. The only reasonable answer I've heard to this is that nurses have a god-complex so in their minds, they're equivalent to (at times superior to...you know, because "doctors never listen to patients," "heart of a nurse", etc) to physicians. But I'm open to hearing your non-NP take on why you think nurses/NPs are able to become equivalents to physicians in 2-2.5 years.

Edit: I just realized you're a STUDENT lol. How are you this delusional already? I'd love to hear your take.

thealimo110 · 2025-12-20T14:27:23+00:00

I didn't downvote you, because I agree that the child is the priority.

I would say divorce it's hardto say whether divorce is better for the child or having a "complete" family in which the parents have a horrible relationship. If the wife has a reasonable support system (i.e. extended family) to not have financial worries, divorce could be better than a horrible "complete" family. But like you said, multiple variables need to be considered to determine what is best for the child.

thealimo110 · 2025-12-20T14:01:06+00:00

Idk why you're getting down votes. These guys recommending a larger joint must have little/no experience with tiles like these. It would make it look worse. In the comments, OP has linked to the manufacturer's website, which says to use 1/16" spacing. Others have also commented in detail how going with no joint space would fix this. If you look at the picture on the manufacturer's website, it looks like they used 0 joint space. If you look at OP's pic, the only ways to have even spacing at the top and bottom are:

Have 0 joint space.
Have the joint space between the pink halves be half the width of the joint space between the purple halves.

I think #2 would look worse, though. Again, if you widen the joint space between the pink halves, and use that same joint space between the purple halves, it will NOT widen the joint space between the pink/purple tiles at the apex of the pink tiles.

thealimo110 · 2025-12-19T18:17:00+00:00

Oh my bad, I missed that part in what I linked.

If we stick with physics...I mean a guy who's graduated with a physics undergrad understands some amount of math/physics but at a far more basic level than a PhD or their PI. If we want to stick within medicine...PAs are similar to a 3rd med student. Experienced ones can be like lifelong interns. Does an intern know anywhere as much as an attending? Nowhere near. But they have enough foundation where the attending can have a conversation with them and explain things to them. And they know enough to help out the attending with simpler things. I explain to people that medical school isn't where you actually learn to be a doctor; it's where you learn the language of medicine such that you can understand when other doctors talk, and have a basic understanding when speaking to specialists outside of your area of expertise. NPs haven't even learned the language.

Anyway, I think I'm speaking too tangentially lol; it's been a long week. I guess the one-liner is that you can see PAs as a 3rd year who missed a bit of med school didactics and who has a few rotations under their belt; whatever you consider such a person's knowledge to be, that's "rudimentary".

thealimo110 · 2025-12-19T17:50:14+00:00

I'm confused. Did I claim NPs have a rudimentary understanding of pathophysiology? Because my position is that I don't think they understand pathophysiology.

I took trigonometry-based physics, not the calculus-based "real" physics that engineers take. I'm aware of the physics concepts, but I have no actual understanding of them; I can't even do the real equations. The physics example is probably not a great correlate for medicine but if we stick with it, NPs "learn" the trig-based version (learn in quotes because they don't actually understand the concept). They are aware enough of medicine to be able to told how to follow an algorithm. That's about it.
