I still don't have it right :(

So durability is a feature you value, perhaps over others.

I bought a book on making decisions and these kinds of choices are exactly what the author talks about.

I can learn a lot from your post about how you make decisions. :)

My take:
Good luck or bad luck should cancel out with enough people giving [honest] opinions. No astroturfing.

If you had...

Current & capacitance sounds like a reliability problem vs. an accuracy problem.

What can those other people who like them be thinking? They don't seem to be on this forum.

High accuracy seems...

The Fieldpiece company along with me are curious why.
Functions? Appearance? Weight? Reliability?

If the fridges cycle on and off randomly they might get away with it but if all the fridges start up and run at the same time that is way overstressing the outlet and strip.
Short lifetime for...

Less contact surface area = higher contact resistance and those back stabbed things maybe have a contact surface area of 1 square millimeter.

Contact resistance can't be measured with an ohmmeter...

If the plug pulls out easily you will have high contact resistance and along with high current you will have very high temperatures at the plug/socket interface.

Pulling 10A of current through...

That is not possible.

Assuming your video has power, is it the last one below?

Would you repeat that?

Ahhnold came in at 29 or so. Mine is at 27 but that Omron meter for measuring body fat puts me high.
The Soprano's star was at 34 and some opera singers are at 40 or 50.

Lemme' guess, your Body Mass Index is over 25? :D :D

So if you arrange to be low on liquor, low on gas, and at a cheap gas/liquor place and nature is calling all at the same time you can save some bucks and time.

You may be immune to price gouging but I can't prove it.

If your truck costs 70 cents per mile to run, how far should you drive to save 50 cents? How about if you also charge for your time,...

"The evidence suggests that brand and location generate local market power for gasoline stations. After controlling for market and station characteristics, the analysis finds a spread of 11 cents per...

Computing those likelihoods is above my pay grade :(

GaCo is the gas company.

We don't have 300 windows, but we have two doors plus a mostly glass double width Anderson door.

If it helps, we lost power for 3 days and it took this long for the...

OMG. . . It'll take me a day or so to digest this one.
Pretty soon you'll be able to send me a new furnace over the Internet. :D

Broken collarbone?
I can't imagine how they're going to cast that one, maybe they'll screw a plate on.
What a hassle. :(

Is it ever possible that higher pressure seals the leak?
What things...

I looked up the heating degree days for the year (at the College Park Airport) and totaled the BTUs from the NG input to the furnace and WH
and maybe from our kw usage, assuming that most of the kw...

House is porous to about 14 BTU/(hdd x sf)

The 20 windows, double insulated low E, are 10 YO but the outside humidity strongly affects the inside humidity.

If they follow the NEC they are covered, so they think. Testing a new install may well open a can of worms.

The problems have been off-shored, it's called "externalities". We're poisoning kids we don't know who are glad to have the work.

I applaud your candidness!
I lost my virginity to a female con artist. :( And I paid for that in lost time and $.

However, having graduated from that experience, I did once meet a 28 YO virgin...

"Old" is when you see a woman pushing a baby carriage and the woman looks like a girl to you. :(

Your next milestone is passing 85 YO. If you pass 110 YO you get one more year.

When I was a kid, I wasn't too successful repairing clocks that people gave me so I sent for an Army Technical Manual on clock/watch repair.

IIRC, advertised is 82%.

I have opened a can of worms! :D

Loose lugs, loose women, is there a joke here somewhere?

So the non-technical problem is convincing the sparky there is a technical problem. Finding even one high voltage drop on a connection or one hot connection should do it.

Which comes out to 83% efficient.

Besides attention, persuading people to believe in him and getting high, what does Musk want?
What is he trying to prove?

Even if you had taped a thermistor to the breaker and had gotten occasional high temp readings, you'd still have to figure out if the heat was from a high current load on the breaker or a loose...

So the CB was running way hot.

How about chemicals to clean it?

2200 SF from 1964.

Nameplate says 169k input but/hr. I think one time I checked it against the meter and it was close.

If you can find the trip time curve for the breaker, it might give you a clue or rule out some possibilities.

Got the install and service manual back when makers actually answered customer requests. :)

Some numbers.
I figure we're going to leave here in 10 years. I pay about $1/therm for NG. If my...

The Defender it will be. I hate Amazon but I doubt the HD will have it.
That is the most detailed symptom list I've seen. :)

Hi, folks. . .hoping you can help us.

I have poked into some ASHRAE books and may take a Community College course, but, in the meantime-
