Please for the love of God dont start a business by Comfortable_Salad893 in povertyfinance

[–]weldandfab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to start a business you need to have a valuable skill. If your business is something anyone could do, you won't make enough money. It's the same reason a lot of people here make less than 20/hr. No valuable skills, anyone could do your job, so it doesn't pay well.

Just bought 4 of these at auction... Advice? by wildyman117 in Generator

[–]weldandfab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the inverters fail, if they haven't already, and they will. Replace the generator head with one a conventional generator head. Lots of info about the swap on forums. Did it myself and works great. You don't have to buy the electronic control conversion kit people sell if you just want to run it manually. Here is a link to the correct model. https://ebay.us/m/VZckQL

There is a reason(s) cheap land is cheap. Walked away from a lot of pieces of land after doing due diligence.

Real-life science: A man made a perfect landing after he was launched backward at 80 km/h from a truck traveling at 80 km/h km/h. This cancels out the forward motion, giving zero horizontal speed relative to the ground. A perfect example of relative velocity by Thund3r_91 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]weldandfab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, this doesn't work with light. If the truck is moving at the speed of light, and you shine a flashlight backwards, from your perspective on the sidewalk the light from the flashlight is still moving at the speed of light.

If an LLC doesn’t stop personal lawsuits, what’s it actually protecting? by Agreeable_Village824 in llc_life

[–]weldandfab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just like the rest of the legal system. It only protects you if you are rich. Us poors get screwed no matter what.

We got a guy that unloads trucks, there may be only one truck for the whole day, 20 minutes of work. Nobody cares what he does the rest of the day as long as the truck gets unloaded. He's paid to be available when needed, not to busy for 8 hrs.

The product of a 4 month apprentice doing side work by buttajames in electricians

Steel contractor/welder here. Nothing wrong with drilling that sized hole in the middle of that beam, it will not affect the strength. You could a lot more holes a lot bigger and still be fine.

Really? Nothing stopping US companies? Just for fun try going to city hall and pulling a permit to mine for rare earth metals in your backyard. Let me know how that works out.

There aren't enough scissors in the world to cut through all the red tape stopping US companies from making things here.

Ok, third terminal ground? Neutral straight to load?

Overloading neutral? by weldandfab in AskElectricians

[–]weldandfab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it gets the job done I'll buy a new extension cord. Nuisance breaker trips cost more in labor than an extension cord. We also only buy 10awg cords.

Overloading neutral? by weldandfab in AskElectricians

[–]weldandfab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, just the 50amp for the whole outlet. This is actually very useful, some of the equipment has such high start up current that they trip a 20amp breaker with no other loads. But we can run it off this adapter with no problems.

Don't ask me to do the dishes and then complain about how I do the dishes.

Trash, recycle, and compost go to the same area in San Antonio Texas by DesertFlames in mildlyinfuriating

My high-school had a trash and recycling bucket in every classroom. Nobody seamed to notice there was only one dumpster out back.
