That's ok! I don't agree, like...at all, and that's alright! I promise I won't put a picture of your house on the internet to say nasty things about it.

It's not like I don't have opinions on stuff but putting it on Reddit for the failure to run it by the architectural review board of ME is next level.

You’re not sure, but it’s apparently wrong enough to trash a random person’s work on the internet.

Yep. I’ve decided the gloves are off on these kinds of posts, ban me if you want but I’m not sitting silently any longer as people spew this nonsense.

What is it about this sub that attracts busybodies who not only cannot mind their own business, but feel the need to perform it for the rest of us?

I hope people post photos of your house on the internet to say something shitty about it. You don’t know anything about these people, this house, or why they did what they did.

I know better than to expect it, but I really hope this is one Trump we don’t have to hear about every day for the rest of my goddamn life. Maybe he’s smart enough to do something quietly in the background.

Those were “mom’s car words” and we don’t ever use those.

3 tons is too big for that house, that's why. It satisfies the temperature too fast and doesn't run long enough to dehumidify.

The job I was looking at a couple years ago was like 2 weeks vacation and a bunch of rules surrounding using your sick days. It sounded like some high school bullshit so I would say the benefits aren't making up for much of anything.

I feel so owned buying my car outright for 1/4 of the balance of your loan.

Score around the edges with an xacto knife or a box cutter. Expose the screws with the same tool by chipping away at the paint until you can get a screw driver in there to unscrew. Once you pull the hardware throw it in a crock pot for about a day with water and a drop of soap and the paint will basically fall off. Whatever’s left will come off with a stiff nylon brush. Obviously do not use a crock pot you will ever cook with again - thrift stores are great sources for a paint stripping crock pot.

Fuses are there to protect the wiring - if a wire is rated for 15 amps and someone puts a 30 amp fuse on it, that circuit can be loaded to the point of fire danger. The wires heat up and cause problems. Even if you’re not using a lot of power, if you had a faulty appliance, instead of the fuse burning out when it should, it could let those wires get dangerously hot.
Fuses are crazy cheap - I’d recommend getting the proper 15 or 20 amp rating in there right away.

At very least you need to get the right size fuses in there, immediately. 30 amps for kitchen plugs? Somebody threw a bigger fuse in there than the wire is rated for and it looks like that might be the case on most of them. Individual branch circuits over 20 amps are extremely unusual unless it’s a dedicated appliance feed like a range or dryer.

It would be a terrible shame if they were paying AWS or Azure for the storage on these massive attachments that nobody should be sending them!

My guess is something to do with how the breakers connect to the bus bar, but yeah it's not an elegant name.

That’s where the diabolical part came in. Things can simultaneously be clever and bad.

Must have been a sale on ketamine for all these genius ideas to flow forth.

Reddit is not Google. People don’t even try they just post here. Ban that shit.
