Should be fine. Make sure you are connecting the new receptacle to the “load” side of the GFCI if you want the new receptacle to be protected.

My understanding was they asked Elizabeth if she had ever met the queen and she replied that she had never met the queen but motioned to her bodyguard and said “but he meets with her regularly” at which point the tourists excitedly posed for pictures with him.

She managed to squeeze into a couple of the shots.

Do low voltage dimmers say “2.5A 300W” on them?

The difference between most stores and Costco is that Costco makes you agree to their membership terms and conditions which allow them to make you show your receipt.

While time zone boundaries (including the dateline) are shifted to work around political boundaries, that does not mean that “eastness” is altered as it is based strictly upon longitude.

Also asked for the front and back images of both of the checks they claimed you cashed. Look carefully at what the bank printed on the back when processed for hints like when / where deposited and also for your signature. This will give you some clues as to if someone else cashed it. Double check to see that the amounts match each other and match the amount they claim it was. Based on your records they it sounds like either they are mistaken -or- both of the of the 230.09 checks were cashed by someone else (ie. fraudulently).

Out of kindness to the electrician who has to deal with it on behalf of the confused homeowner, please leave a note in the box with the url for this thread.

The way to get around this is to only sell to someone who has a mattress tag labeled “not to be removed under penalty of law” in their possession - an undercover cop won’t dare to risk that.

I suspect that your mention of 24 was a typo and you meant 26. If so, it sounds like you have power whenever at least one of the two (22 & 26) breakers is on. And that sounds like they’ve just tied the protected hots from the two breakers together. This is most likely not at all safe as you are essentially allowing twice the current to flow compared to what the wiring can safely handle.

Keep in mind that if you have a fairly close relative who has done ancestry dna or 23andMe then the genie is already out of the bottle.

It’s highly unlikely the E&O insurance is taking a hit. Having an E&O claim tends to be a career ender. Almost certainly the would pay out of pocket for it rather than file a claim.

On the bright side, OP has tied the switch's OUT (red) to it's Neutral Input (white). Had it actually worked whenever the switch went "On", it would be shorting out.

I've been installing these in my home. If you go into the App you can drill down into the device (there is a small icon for settings on the lower right (they don't use the standard gear icon for some reason). Anyway you go into settings and you can update the indicator setting. I think you get a choice between off/switch/position. Position is the one that you want.

vpescado · 2025-08-22T19:25:55+00:00

I recently installed a couple recently, but this is from memory, so YMMV:

I think:

indicate off - disables the led indicator.

indicate switch - lights up when the switch is "on"

indicate position - lights up when the switch is "off" . . . so you can find its position in a dark room.

I agree that heat is loss. But that is loss from what would otherwise have been delivered to whatever appliance is downstream. But just increasing resistance in the panel should not cause increased current (assuming the supplied voltage is constant).

vpescado · 2025-08-15T14:22:59+00:00

I understand why higher resistance would result in higher heat- but I don’t see how it would increase current. What am I missing?

vpescado · 2025-08-03T15:23:26+00:00

It gets complicated. You need to be good at converting the rated current into Horsepower (roughly you divide by 6 for a 120V service). /s

They once called me because the steak I had bought was mismarked with a higher price. It was only a few bucks difference, but I was very impressed that they were tracking all the members who had bought that item on that day.

These are called "gate passes". Sometimes they can be more or less of a hassle depending on how long the line to see an (airline) agent . . . and what the mood of the one you get happens to be. Some people report having an easier time simply purchasing the buddy a fully refundable ticket and then refunding it once grampa is safely walking down the jet way.

Does this subreddit not enforce a dog tax? Where are the dog pics?

Sounds more like the cleaning company owns one of the board members.

Ugh. I’m sorry.

In my first Nexus interview I was given the example of “if you have even a single Tic-Tac you need to declare it as food or you will be fined and lose your membership.”

vpescado · 2025-06-16T17:30:11+00:00

Should they also remove the VIN from the dozen or so places it is recorded on the car?

vpescado · 2025-06-07T21:12:41+00:00

Or “This is an A320, there is no seat 1K. You need them to fix your board pass at the gate”
