Sounds like a you problem.
Hail the Omnissiah! Praise be to the machine-god.
Sounds like a you problem.
What I find is culture drives them out. I am pushed a lot to take away all decision making ability from the techs and electricians. This command-and-control organization system. Anyone who can change employment does and I don’t blame them.
Treat people like they are worthless and they leave. No surprises there.
You use the chart. How does mm of a wire, including insulation, tell you ampacity? As I said it is easy to imagine a thick wire that can carry almost no current. You can’t pull that crap with AWG system. It tells you the single most important fact, how much current a wire can carry. There is no incentive for wire manufacturers to cheat the system since a thicker insulation wire just means more cost for them.
Which ties in nicely with the other charts. Tell me how much power you need a motor to deliver and what I have to deal with and I can tell you exactly what wires to use, it’s bending radius how thick it is etc. None of which I can do in the CE system.
The European wire gauge system makes no sense. There I said it. I don’t need to know the O.D. of the wire, I need to know the amp rating. The O.D. only becomes an issue for bending radius and there is a chart for that as well. Nothing is stopping some a**hole from making a wire almost completely out of plastic that has the O.D. of a typical 14AWG but can’t carry any serious amount of current under the European system. Under the AWG you always know what the current capacity is.
And while we are at it, you might as well standardize your wire sizes based on copper. You are never going to use anything except copper. So your units should reflect the material. I am building a chemical skid, that has nothing to do with the distance between the equator to the north pole.
Also when is the last time you were running wires that you needed a mm of precision? Meanwhile a fraction of an amp really does matter. So should not the thing that does matter be reflected in the product?
I am in chemical and material handling stuff and it’s the same. What amazes me is when the project manager can’t allow slack where slack is perfectly fine and allows slack where it isn’t.
One guy I will never forget had endless meltdowns about tiny tiny stuff in software and completely forgot that water pipes need heat tracing until the insulation was already installed. Whole project, multi tens of millions of dollars, died because of that. On the plus side before it died the password on the HMI was 8 characters long and required a number and a punctuation symbol.
I have definitely answered work emails like that
Enjoy your “naunced” freeze peach argument
Ah yes the freeze peach argument
I don’t know if I should say this but I will.
The last time it was an issue for my kids I conferenced called the insurance and the doctor’s office. I then laid into the insurance adjuster saying things that were truly revolting with as much profanity as I could cram into it.
Haven’t had an issue since. Turns out the system only works if they think you are unstable enough to make it work.
The combined number of years of my marriage and the ages of all of my children is a number that when subtracted from 2024 would not equal the first time I heard this.
Comic sans.
It is literally a font. Sometimes when some corporate partner is annoying me I will pdf lock a document, with a signature, to them in comic sans.
Pretty much what I did. Meat once a week and almost always birds. Maybe a hamburger or pho twice a year, and always with my family.
Because they have become accustomed to a taste
I have been toying with baking the last two months and vegan bread is a challenge. It isn’t just taste. Take my basic bread and cut out milk+butter and all I have left is oil. The bread rises funny and the crust is totally different. Yes I have tried a good friend of mine has a dairy allergy.
Just saying it isn’t like there is a ready solution I can grab.
Wow stays in the same room as you? All I get is the back of her head as she walks away.
I don’t know why this tax thing is such a big deal for people. Sure the RCC, the Mormons, and some of the prosperity preacher have money but the vast majority of religious institutions can’t keep the lights on. Which is why they have to do partnerships to do basic stuff like insurance.
I am much more pissed off at corporations having an entire dedicated staff just to get tax breaks and credits than I am at some congregation of 15 old people not paying taxes. Hell one of the churches I was at before I deconverted had an annual budget of 9k. Would it even be worth going after that little bit?
I don’t really think churches should be obligated to fix a problem that the government created and can fix. Religion sucks but they still have a right to not be drafted without compensation.
They aren’t playing by the rules so why should we? Buy houses with their family money and sit on them then campaign for stricter zoning laws to keep out competition.
I managed a homework help chatroom for EEs. One of them got a PI and was so happy. Another person suggested that they run that command. Later on the other person claimed they didn’t expect it to work.
It took me and another mod way too long to help the other guy fix his PI. Wasn’t really happy about it. The new rule I came up with was if you must must make a joke do something harmless like “touch /this” and reference MC Hammer.
They did but it might have been a good idea to prove that the command works instead of actually doing it.
I am just picturing some alien biologist studying us
