Is that a thermal detonator or some sort of laser light show?

Edit: oops another page, and it's been answered. I would not have guessed that, the thing in the lower left looks a lot like a lens of some sort, but I guess its an LED/LCD display.

Really needs to just add nozzles up and down the stairs so you don't even have to stop walking while you shower

At one point I lived in a place that had formerly been dorms, converted to private (non-university operated) apartments sometime in the 1970s. Built in the 1950s.

My "one bedroom" was 2 bigass rooms, connected through the bathroom. One side had a tiny kitchen shoved in where the closet had been, and a circuit breaker panel jammed in where one of the sinks had been (each side originally had its own sink; it was originally two double occupancy rooms with a shared bathroom). My mailing address had "Apt #123-124" in it (original rooms were 123 and 124).

It was kinda ghetto. But $399/month with electricity and water included (it now goes for $750 :stonk:).

Or poo poo. Human feces will activate luminol. So will urine if it has blood in it.

Actually, a couple of strange things will activate it, like some bleaches and horseradish.

Of course, I don't know how you piss or poo poo on the ceiling...

That room has obviously never seen bleach. Someone flinging liquified horseradish around with wild abandon is probably the best possible scenario.

Yes. Next time you're in some shithole gas station bathroom, or well almost anywhere these days, take a gander at the ceiling. All those ceiling splotches are either blood or clearing the syringe.

oh wow they look like if you just wrapped a molex in tape like a dumbfuck.

wouldnt you just solder and seal those if you were a pro though? i mean thats what we do with compooters?

In the US it'd be wire nuts, ideally with the wires spiralled around each other inside IMO.

I once saw a plastic drywall anchor used in place of a wire nut in an old floor lamp.

May 17, 2007

I have a drawer of those and I'm in the US. They're not very common yet but they're available at home depot etc. so I think we'll start to see them a lot more. My problem with push-on connectors is they don't work for poo poo on multi-stranded wire, they're only useful for solid-core. So even though I have a drawer full of them, I still have to keep the wire nuts around too.

The wiring shown in the pic is still wrong, because those have to be in a junction box and not just loose, but you can tell they're not computer molex connectors because they're too fat at the base. That wiring is also too large of a gauge to be for a computer (the four-pin connectors in your computer carry 12 and 5 volts only).

Voltage doesn't determine the wire size, the amps do.

But you're right, push ons suck for that reason. The only situation where they excel over wire nuts is for attaching extensions onto wires cut way too short in the box.

The maintenance guys where I work love them for replacing ballasts in overhead lights. Something about it being faster and just as secure as a wire nut.
