NEC 314.23(B)(2) … Wood braces shall have a cross section not less than 1"x2"

This is fine. I’m not an electrician and don’t know what that is securing the romex but I assume that’s approved.

I mean I guess if the inspector wants they could deny it for not being “neat and workmanlike” but they’d have to really be an asshole. Like it’s weird but it’s not going anywhere, not like a switch is a heavy piece of equipment. This would probably even be fine for a light.

They cant stop you from buying heat shrink and wire strippers. Don’t let nothing hold you back

I remember it being big news in the vaping world when walmart started carrying vapes. I went out and bought some awful eGo pen and the world’s worst tasting juice in 2.4% nicotine. I managed to get through the little 20ml bottle of sour apple but the java flavor was so awful it remained my backup ‘it’s this or withdrawals’ juice for the better part of a decade. I think I picked withdrawals most of the time.

You can already mine on your own and use that money to pay for stuff if it’s viable. This is just displacing the subscription into your electricity bill.

Fuck, I’ll never be able unlink federated social media and polyamory in my head now.

The secret option is the real electrician’s hammer, some lineman’s pliers.

You can do more stuff with the straighter claw on the rip hammer, like whack it into something to use it as a wedge.

I keep clicking on the profile link when I see an astonishingly stupid take expecting it to be someone from the most recent reddit migration wave and I can’t believe how often I’m wrong. How haven’t we bullied the racist dipshits off the platform even after a year+

Every now and then a little devil on my shoulder says “you should set up a cluster computer that serves a secondary function as a smart space heater” and it’s gonna be really hard to ignore if the deals are good enough.

Or the person calculating their withholding was. But if you’re paycheck to paycheck then that paycheck amount is all that really matters. Cool, I get a bigger refund eventually, but I’m now choosing between eating, walking 2 hours to work to save gas, or letting a bill go unpaid.

I certainly remember when lenovo pushed a keyboard firmware update so bad that it physically damaged a part on thousands of legion laptops and then refused to own up to it. Fuckers. Never again.

*ok I half remembered, I don’t actually know that a part was physically damaged but the only permanent fix involves soldering so close enough

“How do you know [thing you only learn if people tell you]? don’t worry, they’ll tell you”

Oh cool we’re back in … 2010? and we’re doing FBI crime stats discourse again, except this time we’re doing the breakdown by gender instead of race.

*if you’ll downvote then explain how you’re not making the exact same argument lol

And of course during the next primary: ‘we have to rally around 90% hitler to stand a chance against 100% hitler. 0% hitler is just too radical to win the general election. If anything we need more hitler to win over the centrists’

If it was intentional I don’t think he would choose this venue. Trump has gotta be so pissed at him for stealing the media spotlight and making him look bad.

Fundamentally I don’t think he thinks of himself as a neo-nazi whether or not he functionally is one. And I don’t think he’s bold enough for a dog whistle this blatant even if he does.

He did put on a weird stank face when he did it. He thought he was doing something but I don’t think he was aiming for nazi salute. He’s happy to trigger the libs over it but I think in the moment it was somewhere between the weird jump he did on stage and the ketamine putting enough holes in his brain that he thought this was a normal ‘my heart goes out to you all’ gesture.
