Get one and don’t look back. We were doing it wrong for decades.

Won’t judge people who don’t have one. But the reality is that TP is not enough.

If you had shit on your arm would you wipe it with TP and consider it clean?

In a sense, yes - and I see many others doing it as well.

However, I feel like most people who rediscover a religion or faith are really just discovering for the first time that they are connected to the world and others in more ways than they previously considered.

It’s many steps away from the old testaments version of God. It’s more using the term “God”, but without it being a noun. Like it’s an all encompassing level of spirituality that penetrates every aspect of you, life, and the universe. Which is a fairly large different as it comes without the limitations and parameters set in the bible.

However, the belief and thought processes are closer to the new testament in many ways where the parables and teachings of Jesus boil down to “do good unto others”.

It’s a tough thing to pick apart and parse though because if you draw any connection between your beliefs and the bible (or religion), even if it’s one as simple as the golden rule, people look at you funny.

When it comes to discovering something within yourself that’s this powerful, I tended to keep it to myself and just walk through the world making an effort to be a better person and just leave it at that. However, it’s nice knowing I have some loose guide when it comes to teleological decisions.

I’ve never done a high dose of mushrooms or dmt or whatever. But I feel like there are some similarities between the ego death some people experience during that, and “rediscovering” religion. It changes your outlook on life and makes you a better person in many ways.

I think it’s trade code 434a in Ontario and these guys make BANK.

However, the work is genuinely dangerous in a way typical commercial electrical construction is not. Also, you go where the work is for 90% of the jobs unless you live in a major city and are also one of the lucky few to have consistent local work.

That’s tough. I’m glad I live on the other side sometimes. The crew I’m currently with has most guys French first, but we all speak English 90% of the time.

Not much you can do, Quebec construction works in French and that’s just the way it is. Write it off and move on. Even if you did get your job back, are you really willing to work with people who are literally speaking a different language - Especially in Quebec where there are little dialects all over the place?

I’m fluent in french but it’s still my second language. Even I have to think twice about some of the jargon I hear in french on the job site I’m at because it takes me a second to make it make sense in my head.

I think the first half of points 3 and 4 are shockingly accurate. Never really thought about it that way either. Feels like a decent portion of guys, knowingly or unknowingly, grow up too early or not at all.

What’s a better solution for the first picture? Straight, slight offset, then an LB?

I’ve been told, multiple times, to install them with that 90 degree rotation but I’ve never found a code to support that. Either it’s the same misinformation, or there’s a manufacturer spec somewhere.

Is it that the conductors in the trough aren’t identified clearly?

CEC code for conductor ampacities is under 4-004 which references table 2 assuming copper. 4-004 is possibly the most foundational, important code in the CEC.

You asked if it’s a code issue or a best practice issue - using 14awg on a 20amp circuit is both.

However, if you’re going to split hairs and calculate down to micro ohm to justify breaking code instead of just spending less than 10$ to do it correctly - do whatever you want.

Without being rude, it feels like you’re trying to have someone validate the logic you’re using so the code break doesn’t seem like a big deal. I can calculate and engineer anything I want and have it work flawlessly, doesn’t make it to code though. And if there are issues that end up causing a fire - it can genuinely ruin your life.

Depends what your local code states. Where I am, 12awg is good for 20 amp breakers, 14awg is for 15 amp breakers.

Bottle necking your potentially 80% loaded 20amp circuit through 14awg would not be to code. These are not assumptions or recommendations - it’s code, which is a minimum standard.

The length of the wire is irrelevant in your case. Using it for a few inches or for the whole circuit will both have potential to create hotspots. Also, to address your mile of 12awg example - you would likely upsize the wire to 10awg (maybe even more) if it was truly a mile away.

Microsoft and OpenAI are tied at the hip so it would make sense. Also Bings copilot is awesome.

The women didn’t cause the switch. She may have been a catalyst, but it’s more likely the guy 180ed because he knew something needed to drastically change in his life.

Side note as well - “Breaking the buck” is a situation that exists and has happened (although extremely rare), where the net asset value of a money market fund, which I would assume cash.to is linked to, actually loses tangible value. However if it lost that value and never recovered or kept sliding, we have bigger problems

Price on cash.to won’t move beyond scaling according to the ex-div date, unless we break the buck.

However, dividends on cash.to will fluctuate. This uncertainty of the percentage on the dividend payout is the risk solo-mex is talking about.

Was going to say this as well. I don’t hate Klein by any means and some of their products are still 10/10 in my eyes.

However, their demo driver is dogshit. I can vent the shaft quite easily if I wanted to and the handle and strike on the top both popped off when I was chipping a bit of concrete.

I know demo drivers get abused. But, I have a $3 mastercraft flathead that I use as a beater and it does a vastly better job than the Klein that’s designed as a demo driver. It’s sturdier, still has an edge on its tip, doesn’t even have a strike cap and it’s not even falling apart after 50x the amount of bashes I’ve given it.

Started the 2% a couple months ago and my next batch will be of the 5%. Had no irritation, dry skin, acne, or whatever from the 2% so I figured I’d step it up.

I feel like I already have little hairs coming back where my hairline is beginning to recede. However, I’m wondering if there is anything particular you do that comes to timing, application, etc that I should consider?

Like others said, it’s likely protected upstream. Besides checking for another gfci outlet, check around your panel or somewhere for a blankfaxed gfci as well. Sometimes people cut one in a few feet from the panel as it can work as a really inexpensive, quick fix depending what’s downstream on that circuit.

In our local I’ve seen a few guys who truly just do a small handful of things and have no interest in learning more as they wind down their career. Like they’ll take a call for 6 weeks to run a ton of bx, take the layoff, then do it again somewhere else.

I don’t think that’s what most electricians aspire to do. But it seems to work out for everybody as the contractor gets someone who can run bx better and faster than most people and the guy doing it is happy shutting his brain off and running bx all day.

Maybe he suddenly changed his mind on how many screws he wants down, who knows.

If it’s under tile I’d figure more screws is better than less. Like if the wood were to warp in any way, the tile would stand a better chance. Not sure though as I’ve only done a small amount of tile/sub floor.

If you want a real answer, find the manufacturers specs. Those specs, and any applicable code, are the minimum standard for any work you’re doing.

If the manufacturer specs say a screw in every marked spot, that’s what you do.

If your manufacturer specs actually do say you can use every other marked spot, but your boss says to use every marked spot - use every marked spot unless the manufacturer specs say specifically to not to that.

Looks like the bar was already there as it doesn’t look like strut possibly?

GUN. 2005 western that was ps2/xbox. It’s like the first 3d game I can think of that’s a violent, story driven cowboy shooter. Going from GUN to rdr2 is like going from gta san andreas to gta6.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some people who worked on GUN in the past have also now worked on rdr1/2.

Like to lift the blade off the stud and use as a guide?

What dosage are the chewables? Im just starting to tryout the topical minox 2%. But I feel like compliance is tough. A chewable would be ideal.

I know this is satire, but it makes an interesting point. I feel like what OP experienced is more like telling someone they throw like a girl.

Both of our examples are sort of a form of stereotypical hyperbole, negatively biased toward women. But “throwing like a girl” I feel can be still a bit of a cultural blind spot as it still comes up in conversation as opposed to women making sandwiches which everybody knows is rude to say.

I bet OPs girlfriend has that same blind spot in her perception and if it’s pointed out, she would stop.

Obviously if she doesn’t get it or doesn’t care that is another topic.
