    Not sure if that would be Scary Tanks or something else. That was fun for a little while but then I hit a mission with a stupid about of tanks and I turned that shit off permanently.

    JFC, somebody clean that fucking lift off! LOL Also, what is that flange to the right of the lift? That's not some sort of butterfly valve laying flat, is it? If you're in TX that might kinda make sense. There's a metric fuckton of valves down there.

    On becoming an electrician

    I used to work on a lot of older homes back in the '90s. We'd run new phone down to the basements on remodels, where there was never really a panel board per se, so also no phone box (I remember the old split cover grey plastic interface boxes or whatever the shit they were. Demarcs?). And...

    3 phase, 277/480. 240v isn't really pos/neg per se, but I get what you're saying. It just changes direction at 60Hz. I just think of the legs as "Opposite ends of the transformer" so there's a push/pull dynamic going on, so to speak. What I think sometimes confuses people with residential...

    Probably some sort of quazite box, would be my guess Man, fuck permitting. I honestly think people only do it when they have no other choice.

    There's a lot of good ways to get yourself dead. I always hated driving ground rods. Those fuckers will sway and bounce all over the place if you're trying to hammer them in, especially if the ground is hard. The natural response is to try holding the rod steady with your off hand. Lots of...

    Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries announced.

    I played around with a lot of different Mods before getting bored. I think a lot of it is kind of subjective, depending on what you're looking for. I ended up installing more Mods than I wanted and then turning a bunch off. I started out going through Nexus Mods when I was playing it on Epic...

    I always thought the stuff for dairies was weird. What I was always told was that even with GFCIs you could still get odd differentials in potential that, while too low to trip a GFCI, were enough to bother dairy cows and affect their production. In a way it kind of makes sense...always...

    I had a 1sgt who liked to see who had worn, ratty BDUs on. He'd open ranks and walk through formation looking for the holes that you'd get at the upper corners of your pockets when they got too worn. Walked up behind me once and I felt him stick a few fingers into my pocket like he was some...

    Well, you never tie grounds and neutrals together in subpanels, so no MBJs. I don't have a current copy of the NEC (I haven't done the construction side in years, now) but if I did I'd go look at what the current requirements for grounding and bonding are. That shit literally changes every...

    I'd just go with what this dude started. It's a little late to worry about inspectors now, LOL 2" PVC underground is standard and gives you room to grow. 6/6/8/10 isn't bad. Do keep grounds and neutrals separate in that subpanel. Do put in a ground rod (maybe 2) and land it to the ground bar...

    Depends on what you're trying to do. You can punch more KOs, but generally speaking when it's residential you shouldn't need to unless you're remodeling or something I probably wouldn't use 2" just for a subpanel, especially if it's a 100A subpanel or less. Depending on what you're wanting to...

    ...why? We already should take our nukes out of Turkey, IMHO. But why would we put nukes in Azerbaijan? Is Turkey not close enough? (it is) Why put nukes in an even less secure and less reliable nation than Turkey? That makes no sense.

    Armenia isn't on Russia's border, though. Another big factor is that Armenians aren't really what I'd consider to be 'ethnic Russians'. Which is one of the common threads between S. Ossetia, Donetsk, Luhansk, etc. But why would you expect that when that was never in the cards, post USSR? Why...

    Part of the issue is the problem with peacekeeping forces, in this case the Russians. They are generally prohibited from initiating hostilities, have quite a few restrictions foisted upon them from the political side of the house, and on an individual basis they often don't care about the...

    So if it's really meant to be sarcasm, then you suck at sarcasm. Otherwise most of us are going to see future posts of yours, flame you, listen to you yell "SARCASM!" and then just assume you're full of shit and deflecting.

    So in the middle of the furor, @Chris sees the news, realizes why there's an uproar in the first places, comes running to this thread and purposely posts about the 'Ukrainian war hero' because he knew exactly how people would react if he phrased it that way.

    Don't let the math dissuade you. I've known electricians that had difficulty with fractions. I can't remember what the entrance test at the JATC cost but I think maybe $20? No reason not to do it, really, unless you have a schedule so bad that you can't free up the time. Also, don't discount...
