I'm impressed the strap kept it on the cart even after it bounced off the girl.

This page explains why AC is connected the way it is. http://amasci.com/amateur/whygnd.html Do not ever assume an electrician has connected it the way it's supposed to be, though. Related question: Are there any applications that would fail to work if you connected hot/neutral the wrong way around?

MrYenko posted:...The townhouse I live in now has the master and downstairs half bath on one circuit, with a GFCI in the half bath downstairs. Plug something in that trips it? You get to walk down the stairs to reset it! (I understand that a single GFCI is fine, and meets code, but it really should have been installed in the master bathroom, where people actually plug things in, and not the loving half-bath.) Plug too much in? You not only trip the breaker for those two bathrooms, as it should be, but it kills two outlets, on two different outlet plates in the living room, as well. I think you live in my house. One circuit and one GFCI in the master bathroom for all three bathrooms. Yet there are 4 circuits in the kitchen none of them GFCI. One circuit powers an outlet in the downstairs garage as well as random outlets on the second floor. Switched outlets (both top and bottom) in all bedrooms. No lighting in the living room AND no switched outlets. I can't see poo poo in our main living space. I also have several outlets in the basement that I need to fix that have hot/neutral reversed and one with an open ground. They've been like this since 1974 when the house was built. At least I don't have aluminum wiring.

There's already significant water damage from improperly installed showers, and an improperly sloped second floor patio, as well as the entire tile floor downstairs being replaced in 2013, because the tile guys didn't allow for thermal expansion. (Tiles were popping about once a week in the winter time, sounded like gunshots, about a quarter of them would break in half when they popped.) If I owned the price of poo poo, I'd A: be loving furious, and B: post in the construction failures thread a lot more often. Mine was built in 2005. I've often tried to imagine what it's going to be like in another twenty years. (Probably a gutted slum.)

Trinitrons are a special case because they apparently make them out of DU and unobtanium. That was a 27ish inch cart TV at a school, probably didn't weigh much more than 40 or 50 lbs not including the cart.

I recently went from a 32" Bravia LED to this 46" Bravia LCD TV and the thing is twice as big and weighs a little more than half as much as the smaller television.

In Italy a circuit breaker and an RCD are mandatory for the whole installation, and have been mandatory for as long as I can remember, so it's a little weird to me. The Wikipedia article provides some rationale in the UK section, the idea being that you shouldn't lose all lighting because of a trip, but it seems they recently made RCDs mandatory everywhere too. It's one of those mild culture shocks, like how door knobs are the norm in the USA but it would be a challenging scavenger hunt to find one here e: and screen doors. And Joroleman mailboxes. Automatic transmissions. Heck, I don't think I've ever seen a lawn around here. Half of the American sayings I read wouldn't make sense if we weren't inundated with your movies hackbunny fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jul 19, 2015 |

Audio visual tech used to my occupation for a stretch. Getting those CRTs on the cart is supposed to be a two man job but frequently wasn't. Surprised that my sacroiliac didn't pop getting those fuckers up there.
