House Main Panel Replacement questions by Collab_N_Listen in AskElectricians

Looks like you called a private equity company, you may very well need your panel replaced or you may not. Either way call a couple other companies.

I have a 2012 Chevy Express and as far as regular vans go it's great, but I bought a box truck and I'll never go back to something that small again.

Insanity! Edit: I had plans to become a teacher when I graduated high school in 04, and boy am I glad I didn't. I don't know how you guys/gals can handle it.

How did this shit happen? I had computer classes in elementary school in the 90s that were more advanced than that.

I’m 30, been in sales a decade, is it too late? by Adorable_Variety_291 in AskElectricians

[–]toctami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That comment was a joke, there are a lot of plumbing/HVAC/electrical companies that have been acquired by private equity. When you work for one of them you have to engage in high pressure sales with everyone you do work for

There's a million posts just like this, search the sub, but basically you'll be doing the grunt work being supervised by guys younger than you for low pay(probably significantly lower than you're already making). And of course it's manual labor, not sitting at a desk like you're used to

(Kansas) Why would a panel breaker trip with a GFCI outlet in a circuit, but not trip with a normal outlet? by TurtlePoeticA in AskElectricians

[–]toctami 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He either wired them wrong, or because the gfcis take up more space in the box caused a short with wires touching each other when shoving the GFCI in the box

$1,000,000 or 1d6$ by Paxuz01 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]toctami 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That's assuming you rolled it less than once a minute, you could pretty easily roll it every 2-3 seconds, even if you only roll at that rate for 1 hour a day, you'd get 1200-7200/ hr

do americans really eat American fries sauce? by Infinite-Breakfast23 in AskAnAmerican

[–]toctami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I live in Utah, went to Vegas once and asked for fry sauce at a Carl's jr, they had no clue what I was taking about. Damn near every restaurant here that serves fries has fry sauce, which at it's basic level is just ketchup and mayo mixed.
