toplitzin posted:Wired to a NEMA 10-50R. The wire is 6 with two hot, and neutral. (The ground sheath was used as N, only ground is that at the G/N in the panel.) Well that's not quote as bad, assuming it went to a main panel where grounds and neutrals are tied together anyway. I don't know what the equivalent conductor of that sheath was, it was something though. In the main panel did it get formally grounded on a bus bar? That's what the neutral would do. In mine the neutral was just folded over in the box. It's not a huge difference because in the dryer the alternate wiring just has you jump neutral to ground.

Uthor posted:Heh, this reminded me of my last place. Plug in the coax cable for my modem, getting no internet. Call the internet company, guy takes off the wall plate and there is absolutely nothing plugged in the other side. There were no wires in the wall. Just a wall plate. He had to run a wire from the post into the house and to the wall plate. My house was built in 2014 and they fitted an absolute shitload of aerial (analogue and satellite) and phone sockets and not a single one of them works because all of the cables just neatly terminate into a box under the stairs, and are not connected to a single thing. It's bizarre, why go to all that effort and just not do the last bit? Oh and then the previous owner got a satellite installer that just drilled straight through the wall to fit his own dish and cabling despite there (allegedly) being one in the loft already.

I can see that loop being bad, and maybe the funnel parts being noisy, but that looks dope as gently caress.

Look again at the design, there's a catcher down below so I'm guessing there's a hole at the bottom of the loop for when flow is low

For coax, it's so you can patch the outlets you want to use and not degrade the signal too bad by having literally every room connected and unterminated. For UTP, it's so you can can patch an outlet as either data or phone, plus you would need to patch your CPE in besides.

Sentient Data posted:Look again at the design, there's a catcher down below so I'm guessing there's a hole at the bottom of the loop for when flow is low Thats what that is for. I was wondering about that. Also, they could have made the loop to be fake fairly easily, but then it wouldn't be as cool.

Ohhh that would sort of make sense if *any* of them were actually connected. I'd forgotten about those old "signal booster" things you had to have if you had too many runs off one aerial/dish source. I'm already thinking about converting the phone sockets to ethernet seeing as it's all cat 5, just need to be willing to spend an hour under the stairs doing it.

First day at the nail and screw factory. Foreman: "we're starting you out on packaging. You'll be filling these tiny boxes." New Guy: "what's with the hole in the front?" "That's a viewing window." "Won't the screws fall out?" "No, we attach a really thin sheet of brittle plastic, like a tiny window." "Ah, so how do you attach the window?" "We glue it on one and a half sides, sometimes two sides." "Oh, must be a powerful adhesive." "Funny you mention that. You know the real soft glue on sticky notes? It's more like that. Store it in a garage or shed and it will just fall off" "And when you lose the window, then the screws fall out?" "Exactly. The fun part is that you barely need to touch it for that to happen. It happens on the way home from the hardware store just sitting in the bag. If you drop one from any height, they're gone, baby." "Why?" "It's what the customers want." "What if the customers don't use an entire box at a time, and want to store them for later?" "Glad you brought that up. Some of our boxes have a perforated cardboard opening that can be resealed. Like that one" "I don't see the opening" "Look closer, it's under the giant sticker that tells you what's in the box. You gotta peel that off first" "But then you no longer know what's in the resealable box when you go to use it again " "Look, it's what the customers want. Hey check it out, that little window already fell off in the time since we started talking "

Just do what my dad would do and put the spare screws in whatever empty container you had laying around, mixed with whatever else you threw in there. I thought I had found them all and half organized everything until I found yet another container with random screws in the basement last month after he passed away. Ah, the memories.

Arrested for jacking off on the street to the titty drainpipe but it was worth it beats going into the woods to find the tree that Harry carved a pair of titties on back in '97 they're all deformed and barky now.

~Coxy posted:Oh, if the wall sockets are actually RJ12 then I'm wrong. Yeah they're full width boxes so just need the faceplates changing as all are cat 5e (I really hope there's enough slack in the cable to do this else I'm going to have to crimp an end on and I don't have a crimping tool). Seems that metal faced ethernet sockets are weirdly expensive though. Also one of them is in a really weird place in the kitchen and while I was squinting at it trying to work out why you'd put a phone socket that close to a sink I realised that they'd ripped off a splashback at some point to fit a new worktop with edging, and then crudely filled around the back boxes and just remounted the faceplates. Problem is that with a thicker vertical edge on the work surface that's right below the sockets, anything you plug in doesn't sit right anymore because the bottom of the cable gets pushed out by the edging. The worksurface must have cost a decent amount of money when they replaced it and yet they left all the lovely cabinets in place underneath it. Perfect example of "looks nice but is actually cheap" that we should have spotted.

One of the biggest crimes in modern architecture is the complete lack of embellishments on buildings anymore. Walk around your town or city and older buildings have all kinds of purely decorative stuff on them. Nothing built since the 80s (is this another thing we can blame on Reagan?) has that stuff anymore.
