DOT physical got a bit more difficult last year, they added BMI and neck circumference levels which may trigger requiring a sleep study. Doc also told me they made the certification process for the Dr more intensive, so a lot of offices do not perform DOT physicals anymore. angryrobots fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Dec 1, 2016 |

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:But I think the one I'm looking at (Sense) requires being connected to the main incoming feed to my panel. However it is not a bad idea to cut power, under the newest osha regs an electrician would have to wear PPE while performing this task in an energized panel. ALSO: YouTube just notified me that new Roadkill is up, for we proles! BOOST CABOOSE!

Fermented Tinal posted:I almost never turn off branch circuits, but it's not something I'd tell other people to do. I had a #16 awg copper wire rub and short on a yard light I was working on (feeding right off xfmr), and even that small size of wire put off enough arc flash in the split second before it burned clear, to pit my safety glasses and burn a hole in my FR shirt.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:I'd probably feel safer cutting power, if I'm adding a breaker, unless I have an insulated screwdriver. There's actually an open knockout in my panel for a single pole breaker, so that would be easy enough to do (then remove once I move out.. or just leave in there, the only ones labeled are the 2 pole breakers anyway). -attach device power wire to breaker, and neutral wire to neutral bar. -with breaker switched off, pop it into position. -clip CTs around mains cables. -reinstall cover and turn breaker on. I don't know specifics about resi/commercial osha rules cause I'm utility, but requiring ppe to operate a breaker *with the panel cover in place* sounds really overbearing. An employee of an electrical contractor is probably required to wear their provided FR garments at all times while at work, though, cause that's easiest for the company to enforce.

Enourmo posted:Lmao The scammers can get their hands on a printer to make a card with a magnetic strip, but creating a chip card is still out of reach (for most, afaik).

Yeah I guess that part depends on who issued the card. Capital one will deactivate the account if the card is used at a chip-ready terminal. So it's maybe a security improvement, haha.

Motronic posted:Hmmmm....my amex and chase cards don't get deactivated, but the terminal makes an angry noise at me. Which is real "convenient", since it's like 50/50 around here of places who have chip reading terminals on whether the chip reader is activated or not. I found this out the hard way, when capital one changed my card status to having a chip....without actually sending me one. Found out when checking in to a hotel traveling too, that was fun.

Lowe's credit card does 0% 18 month financing on anything over $299, and often run appliance specials like 10%-15% off. Don't deal with rent a center, please.

I'm off work today and so far have been loving productive. Demo'ing what's left of the office/.5 bath in my shop, going to turn it into a guest apartment and full bathroom with a shower. Right now taking a lunch break with some 3 day old venison shepherd's pie with chips, and a winter lager.

Mulva posted:It was -37C with the windchill on Valentine's Day in Boston this year, which is just -36F because science stops giving a gently caress when it gets that cold. People that complain when it gets to be 10F or something just fill me with disgust and condescension. That is shorts weather, put out a chair and get a tan. Hell grab some handfuls of snow and rub it on your genitals, that is party weather. *only yankees who, generally speaking, only do recreational activities outside. I've never had this sort of annoying conversation with someone whose everyday job is outside. There is a usually a mutual respect among those who are at the mercy of the elements.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Love to do that, got to pass inspection twice yearly for the renters/homeowner's insurance, though, so it's got to be an all-in-one solutions. There's also the Emerson 30 amp, SKYCENTRICS Wi-Fi connected switch. Details are kinda hard to come by, but it appears you can control it via the skycentrics app. Specifically mentions being able to avoid peak kwh billing. May be worth calling them.

Gas isn't available everywhere, and I think induction is generally seen as better than a standard electric range. Efb

Geoj posted:Update on my wife's car getting rear-ended - stayed home from work today because I have the predictable sore back the day after being in a rear-end collision. Couldn't get the at-fault driver's information from the police department's records person until 2:30 this afternoon, then called the insurance company (Erie Insurance, I think they're regional to NY/PA/OH) and got run around from around 3 PM until just after 5. The adjuster assigned to the claim never called me back after I left her a voicemail, and then I spent the next two hours calling, being placed on hold and eventually getting a voicemail box for the person they transferred me to. Finally spoke to a non-receptionist just after 5 who told me the claim is "on hold" until they speak with their insured, who did not return a call placed today. Because you should deal with your insurance if you have full coverage. They will deal with the other insurance company. If that is your insurer, holy crap that's bs.

I have so far had good luck with all my modern appliances. That being said, they are a hodgepodge of brands, and models that had been available for some time and generated very good reviews.

I liked BB a lot, but grew to loath TWD. They don't deserve to be mentioned together. TWD after season one has almost zero plot, it's just a question of what main character will die in a gruesome manner. No redeeming factors at all to make it interesting.

IOwnCalculus posted:My 14 year old Amana microwave just bit the loving dust, and it's one of the over-the-range built-in ones. It looks like the job isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things. Still, that's the last thing I needed right now. I'd consider getting a nice hood and a regular microwave if you can stick it somewhere else. I stuck ours on a small table in our never-used dining room, right off the kitchen. Best thing ever, I don't have to look at another ugly appliance, and my 8 yo can reach it.

cakesmith handyman posted:So if you gradually ramped up from zero to lightning bolt voltage it'd be fine? I saw the aftermath of a lightning storm at a church, the meterbase was smoked and we had several parking lot lights that fed underground from it. The wire going up the pole was regular 10-2UG, and where it exits the underground pipe we staple the wire about every 6" going up the pole. ...in between every staple, the neutral was blown out of the outer jacket and bowed out in a 'U' shape. It was as if the opposite magnetic force between the conductors forced them apart violently, and the wire held its shape in that form.

Somewhat Heroic posted:My wife is telling me to let go of the idea of a Porsche and that I could get one later when it makes more sense. I have two kids now, a third on the way so having four doors to get kids in and out of (along with the odd adult passengers) the E90 makes more sense. Right now, you can fit the whole family in the sports car that you really want. It can be a daily with limited constraints to familial passenger going-abouts. In a few years, they won't fit in the back seat and it becomes a special trip vehicle that is harder to use regularly.
