2023.06.10 22:38 ButIAmHercules Electrician wants $1279 to install charger
| On top of the $1000 from GM/Qmerit I am expected to pay $279. The box need an additional breaker added for the EV but since it is a Zinco he is sitting a safety issue and that the breaker should power an additional external panel that has the final breaker for the charger. I don’t know a lot about Zinco, but does this make sense? To make matters more confusing my quote from Qmerit says no additional fees, but the “assumptions” on the quote are clearly at odds with what he inspected and saw the case to be. Additionally he has told me verbally and over email that it will be $279 out of pocket. submitted by ButIAmHercules to BoltEV [link] [comments] |
2023.06.10 22:09 justvims Best way to accommodate 100A 1ph backfeed without a main panel swap? (USA)
Hi Everyone,
I’m working on solar, storage, and electric vehicle to grid projects and one issue that keeps emerging is how to get enough ampacity to support backfeed.
With a normal solar system up to 40A it’s pretty easy within the 120% rule on a 200A panel, but it gets a lot more difficult with multiple sources of backfeed like solar with storage or vehicle.
What is the lowest cost and most scalable way of bringing this backfeed in without upgrading the main panel?
My thinking is:
1) downsize main breakers — this has a huge negative impact to the homes ability to support future electrification loads, so this is out.
2) upside panel board, keep same OCP — this is the conventional way but it’s very difficult finding a panel board over 200A that isn’t A) huge or B) super expensive/custom. Yes there are 225A bus boards which can get you 70A of backfeed but they’re usually 40+ space and not useful for a simple tap. Even then you only get 70A backfeed. There are 300A-400A boards but they’re expensive and often large, which seems excessive
3) Polaris blocks, tap, fused discos — another option if there is exposed conductor between the main and sub is to drop a Jbox and place a 200A fused disconnect to the existing loads and tap in a 60-100A fused disconnect for backfeed sources. I think this works fine if you have a single source of backfeed (e.g. a 60A solar system) but becomes difficult with multiple sources since they would likely land in a panel board and have the same ampacity issue, although you could spec a 200A panel with a 100A breaker and still effectively get 100A backfeed with safe protections.
Interested in your thoughts?

2023.06.10 21:45 HareWarriorInTheDark Trip Report - 12 days in Tokyo, Disneysea, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka. Early 30s couple, late risers!
This sub helped me out a lot so thought I'd share my experience in Japan. Hope I can bring a bit of a different perspective because unlike most of the people that seem to post here, we are definitively not early risers and rarely left the hotel before 1pm every day. Still had a great time and crowds were only an issue in a few places.
We're an early 30s Asian-American couple traveling from Germany, so we're coming at this from a bit of an in-between of Western and Eastern perspective. I have been to Japan when I was 15 with family, but remember basically nothing. It was my wife's first time. We had an absolutely wonderful time and both thought it was the best vacation we've had in years.
The trip was pretty last minute (for my standards at least). I started planning the trip from scratch (no flights, hotels or anything booked) in early April and our trip was May 18-30. We spent 5 days in Tokyo including DisneySea, 2 nights in Hakone, 3 nights in Kyoto including day trip to Nara, and 1 night in Osaka. We flew in to Tokyo Narita and flew out of Osaka Itami. We decided to fly from Osaka to Tokyo instead of bullet train back to Tokyo so we didn't have to buy JR rail pass and worry about luggage.
Tokyo - We stayed in Ginza, which was significantly cheaper than similar hotels in Shibuya or Shinjuku. Maybe it was because I was planning such last minute, but I enjoyed the area just fine. Lots of restaurants and close to Tokyo Station which was convenient.
- Shout out to Star Club in Shinjuku. Had a wonderful Saturday night there drinking til 4am, chatting with other patrons and the super friendly bartender. Mix of locals and tourists.
- T's Tantan Ramen in Tokyo Station was one of my favorite ramen places of the trip (tied with the Michelin star one from Kyoto, but minus the wait). The bowl had a good variety of vegetable ingredients (which didn't seem that common in Japan, most ramen was just noodles and meat) which I really appreciated. Small queue but didn't wait more than 10m.
- The only restaurant reservation we made all trip was at Bon. Vegetarian multi-coursed meal. I would recommend, it was very nice, though sometimes a tad under salted for my taste. My wife loved it though. You get your own little private room to eat, even for two people, which was unexpected and very lovely.
- Asakusa has a tourist center with air conditioning, bathrooms, and an 8th floor view. Nice place for a rest
- Akihabara did nothing for us, as we're not really into anime or games. Pretty skippable if you are similar.
- I thought Ameyoko Shopping District was a disappointment. More like a flea market, it was similar to many Taiwan street/night markets that we've been to before. We also had probably our worst meal in Japan here, at a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant where the food was extremely mediocre. I would have skipped this place altogether and go to Ueno Park or something instead.
- Character Street in Tokyo Station was very fun to explore, we did a lot of shopping there. Nice place to visit before taking the Shinkansen.
- We enjoyed Takeshita Street in Harajuku. As mentioned before we went at around 8pm and it wasn't too crowded.
- When planning I had thought about skipping Shibuya Scramble but I'm really glad I didn't. Something about witnessing the sheer number of people bustling about was so epic and grand. Reminded me of Saturday midnight at EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) when the atmosphere is electric and everyone is moving from one main stage to another.
- Golden Gai was interesting to look at, but way too claustrophobic for us. Very small alleys and very small bars.
- I enjoyed Tsukiji Market a lot. This is one of the places I would agree with people here and advise you get there early. Take advantage of jet lag and get here before 7am, and it is literally a buffet of delicious fresh foods. (not much choice for vegetarians though sadly). By 8am it was starting to get REALLY crowded. I prefer picking out my sashimi this way as opposed to a restaurant tbh, you can look at many options and pick whatever looks freshest. First time eating Wagyu here, had it on a stick. Delicious. Not the cheapest, but I figured if I ate it at a restaurant I'd also be paying for table service and atmosphere. I'm not big on the "restaurant experience", I'd rather just eat my food and be on my way.
- I thought Hamarikyu Gardens was wonderful. I love city parks where there is green, peaceful nature in the fore ground, contrasted by enormous skyscrapers towering in the background. Hamarikyu Gardens fits that perfectly. Got there right when they opened after visiting Tsukiji Market and it was a perfect way to walk off the big hearty breakfast. ~1 hour at a moderate pace should do it.
- Ginza Corridor after work was very interesting to see around 5-7pm or so. Simply packed to the brim with business folks wearing suits and having a good time after their work day
DisneySea - We checked the weather and specifically went on a rainy weekday. I highly recommend, it was not crowded at all. Almost all the rides are indoors anyway and most of the queueing is either inside or covered. We got to the park at 2pm and basically rode everything we wanted before the park closed at 9pm with time to spare.
- Popular rides still had 40m-1hour wait, but we used premier pass for Center of the Earth and Soaring. Most we ever waited was 20m for Finding Nemo (similar to Star Tours, all in Japanese but very fun). I checked the app the next day when it was sunny and saw the wait times for each attraction were 3-4x longer.
- Another thing I think the rain helped with was that the premier passes did not sell out. We were able to buy them as late as 6pm to Journey to the Center of the Earth. (Fun ride, but I can't imagine waiting 1.5 hours for it)
- I think Soaring is pretty meh, I'd probably skip it next time. I've been to the one in CA ages ago and remember thinking it was just okay too, but we had extra time so decided to try it here.
- Sinbad was excellent, the ride that most exceeded expectations. It's basically "It's A Small World" but way better animatronics and story telling.
- Indiana Jones is worse than in the one in California (less exciting, no fire effects), but the line was nonexistent so we went on it twice.
- It stopped raining at night too so we were able to catch the Believe show with no issues. It's a good show but it is very long, about 40m. Much longer than I thought. After show is over, there's only about ~1 hour before the park closes, so good time to catch a last ride at one of the popular attractions while the locals are heading home.
- I love how every restaurant has a display in front that shows you what the food will look like. They were all extremely accurate and not at all misleading!
- (not a tip but a rant, is it really necessary to have 10 thousand parking spots when the vast majority of people are going to arrive on Tokyo's world-class public transit system?)
Hakone - Open Air Museum was really nice on a pleasant day. It's mostly outdoors. We spent a leisurely two hours there, but you could probably do it in one hour at a brisk pace.
- We left our Ryokan at 1pm to do the Hakone Loop and still completed it comfortably with plenty of time spent on shopping.
- Speaking of shopping, Cat Goods near Gora station was a wonderful little store full of cat stuff!! Our shopping list in Japan was basically to buy as much cat-themed home goods at possible, and we went crazy here. They also do tax-free! Recommend this place if cat-themed goods sounds interesting to you, the shop people were super nice!
- We stayed 2 nights 3 days in a Ryokan. I purchased Hakone free pass for 3 days, which was maybe not worth it. The first and last day we only took transport to leave Hakone to Odawara station, so I think it would have been cheaper to use the IC card to pay for it ad-hoc instead of an entire extra "free pass" day. Might be worth looking in to.
- If you have the Freepass, don't tag IC card at the stations. Show your Freepass to the attendant instead. It can't be a screenshot, they need to see the day
- Google Maps was great everywhere except Hakone. For some reason it was especially unreliable here, it led us stray a few times.
- Busses are faster for getting around, but have very little space for luggage and seemed packed with locals. If time is not an issue, I'd ride the Hakonetozan Line with your luggage, much more comfortable and more space.
- If you can spare the money, getting a private onsen was really really nice. Plus you can drink while you chill!
Kyoto - Had an excellent time at Gion Bar M16, favorite bar experience we went to in Japan. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, and was himself a very interesting person that has lived a full life and travelled all over the world. Very interesting to talk to. He was also very knowledgeable about whiskey and drank whiskey with us while letting us try some different whiskeys and giving recs about what to buy and bring home. Also gave us lots of delicious and interesting snacks while we got drunk together. We also met a friend of the owner there who is a foreigner that has been living in Japan for 8 years, and gave us some recs.
- One of his recs was Eikan-do Temple as a less-crowded temple option. Good rec! We really enjoyed this place a lot. Probably our favorite temple out of the 5 or so we visited. They have this really extensive "shoes-off" wooden walkway on support beams. It felt like exploring a big tree house, because the wooden part went up the cliff as well. The insides areas were also very extravagant and intricate. Not so many tourists, even Sunday middle of the day. I really recommend as well!
- Another of his recs was Men-ya Inoichi (has a Michelin star). You line up when the shop opens to get a ticket, and then come back at a designated time, though there's still a wait before you actually eat. We probably waited ~50m in total, 20m at the beginning and 30m when we returned. Even then, thought it wasn't worth the time. Don't get me wrong it was very good, but IMO not significantly better than other ramen places.
- Kodai-ji Temple was a miss for us, especially after Eikan-do. Thought it wasn't that interesting, would have skipped.
- Kiyomizu-dera was indeed very nice, but very very crowded. Another place I would actually either going early or late for.
- The shopping street in front of Kiyomizu-dera was super fun to browse, but also very crowded.
- Had lunch at this tucked away Soba restaurant in an alley that was very nice, one of my favorite meals in Japan. Owner was friendly and spoke in Japanese to a translator that replayed his words in English. Noodles nice and chewy. Good experience, felt very personal!
- We visited Yasaka-jinja Shrine and Maruyama Park both in the evening and during the day, and much much prefer it when it's dark. Less crowded and there are cute little lamps that are lit up and make the whole place look magical.
Nara - Arrived in Nara station at ~2:30pm and left at 7pm. Felt like we saw plenty.
- Nothing new to add, the bowing deer are fun to visit and feed, though they can be quite aggressive. We went on Saturday and there was large crowds of children in their school uniforms, but we didn't really mind it too much.
- Isuien Garden and Yoshikien Garden are both very nice gardens, good place to get away from crowds for some peace and quiet.
Osaka - Didn't spend much time in Osaka, but Dontonburi was fun to walk through and shop.
- Ate at a very nice Okonomiyaki restaurant. It was our first time eating it so can't compare it to anywhere else, but the staff was super friendly and bubbly and we had an excellent time there. They also have a little dice game you can play to "gamble" on getting a drink for free, or "lose" and get the drink double sized and also pay 2x the price
- Shout out to our hotel, Hotel Royal Classic Osaka. We were only there for one night, but my god this hotel was so convenient. Directly connected to the subway station via an elevator, and also has a 24-hour FamilyMart you can enter from the lobby. It was also only 3m walking away from a airport limousine bus, which made going to the airport super easy. If we ever visit Osaka for a longer stay, we would definitely book this hotel again.
Random Tips - The flipside to getting to a popular tourist spot early, is to get there very late. We visited Takeshita Street in Harajuku at 8pm at night and it was very comfortably not crowded. Also noticed other tourists spots tended to clear up near closing time, like Senso-Ji in Asakusa.
- As everyone says, toilets are generally as clean as you can reasonably expect, everywhere from parks to gardens to subway stations. Nastiest toilet I saw was in Don Quixote at 1am, trash everywhere.
- 7/11 seemed to have English featured more prominently on their products labels compared to other convenience store chains. All the convenience store food options seemed very similar, so I started to favor 7/11 for the language convenience. (FamilyMart had English in super tiny letters on the side of the label lol)
- In one of those small counter seating type restaurants, I saw someone take the wrong backpack when they left (didn't know it was the wrong backpack at the time ). A few minutes later, the person who's backpack was taken got up to leave, and was very confused trying to find his backpack. He spent a long 10m talking to the restaurants folks (in Japanese), before the original guy came back super apologetic. Anyway keep an eye on your stuff. I know Japan is a safe country, but accidents do happen.
- One trick we had was to tie a little charm or hair tie to the handle of our umbrella, making it less likely someone would accidentally take yours from the sea of indistinguishable white plastic umbrellas.
- Yes there's a lot of walking. My feet tend to get damp if I'm out all day and foot powder works wonders, highly recommend it. Picked up this trick while attending music festivals.
- No issues with tax refunds and customs. We packed some of our stuff in carry-on in case they inspected, but nothing happened.
- Used Ubigi esim and it was perfect. I bought 10gb and used 7gb over our trip, doing most of the navigation and planning. My wife bought 1gb and used about 700mb with just random internet surfing. I will 100% be using this service for travel to other countries in the future, not just Japan, it was so damn convenient.
Transportation - Definitely leave extra time for navigating subway stations, those things are like enormous underground malls.
- Shinkansen app didn't work for our iphone country (Germany), but I was able to use the mobile web browser pretty easily. Great for free, last-minute rescheduling of Shinkansen tickets when we inevitably take too long shopping.
- Apple Wallet Suica / IC card worked like a charm (with AMEX and Mastercard). One thing though it that it can sometimes take up to 1 minute for the money to load onto the account, so don't wait until the very last minute and accidentally hold up the bus.
- Taxis are green when someone is in it and red when they are free (at least in Tokyo?). Confused the hell out of drunk me at 4am in the morning. I think in Kyoto it is orange instead when someone is in them, and the orange/red difference is quite hard to spot from far away.
- On that note, I had sorta assumed the metro runs all night in Tokyo, but this is definitely not the case. They stop service from about midnight to 5am, so keep an eye on the last train if you do intend to catch it. Otherwise you'll have to take a more-expensive-than-usual taxi (captive markets), but not a big deal. We thought it was typically priced in comparison to most other US and European cities.
- We had a choice between a 1 hour or 3 hour layover in Tokyo NRT and we chose 3 hour because we weren't sure how long it would take to transfer from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1 in NRT. In actuality it took less than 30m, so the 1 hour would have probably been fine. We didn't mind the extra buffer time to relax though.- Absolutely enormous plane flying between Osaka and Tokyo. Like literally it was the size of a transatlantic plane, with 10 seats in each row, for a sub 1 hour flight, completely full with business travelers (judging by their suits and brief cases).
Food - We aren't big foodies; we like Japanese food a lot but food isn't really a top priority for us while traveling. Some of our favorite meals were from 7/11 (kelp & bonito flavoured tofu stick, sukiyaki beef over rice, fish flavored cheese snacks, grilled squid. Yum!)
- Most meals were good, if a bit straightforward. At least the places we ate at, main courses seemed to be carb heavy, with a side of meat, and little else. I know we could have gotten side dishes, but the portion sizes were too big for us to order more.
- Very few vegetables in general, and if there were some they were pickled. (Guess it makes sense for an island country). I usually bring fiber pills with me when traveling and do recommend it for Japan too.
- Wife is vegetarian, I am not. Japan is not particularly vegetarian friendly if you don't like tofu, which fortunately my wife does. Most places did have at least one tofu option, so it worked out okay for us. She doesn't follow it super strictly though. A few times she would order a dish and I would just pick out the meat from her bowl.
- Portion sizes were a LOT bigger than I thought they would be. I think maybe we are just small eaters. US and European portions are a little bit bigger I suppose, but Japanese portion sizes were too big even for us. Especially ramen! It was crazy to see folks wolf down an giant bowl of ramen, then ask for an extra helping of noodles with their remaining soup, and finish that up too.
- We only made one reservation beforehand and waited in line over 10m once. Worked out fine for us.
- Restaurants tend to do last call an hour or more before closing, so don't get there too late. Happened to us twice before we learned our lesson, got to a restaurant about one hour before the listed closing hours and they turned us away.
- The Japanese palette seems to be much more subtle than typical western palette, and notably less salty. We often find Asian food at US/German restaurants too salty or saucy. Even then, some of the food we ate was bordering on the minimum range of my taste buds to almost be bland. Just my opinion, most of it was good but sometimes the lack of salt was pretty noticeable to me. My wife tends to like things less salty than me though and she thoroughly enjoyed all of those meals no problem. Soup noodle places like ramen and udon are excluded from this, those were usually perfectly salted to my taste.
- Walking while eating seemed fine. I saw at least 3 different instances of Japanese people doing it.
- Apparently there are no laws banning public drinking in Japan. You can drink alcohol on the street no problem, but I rarely saw people doing that (unlike here in Germany where people seem to take full advantage of it and also leave trash everywhere). I did see a few groups of Japanese people doing it at night in Tokyo, usually near bus stops, and the next morning saw the empty bottles and cans. Guess there are litterers everywhere. We had a beer in the park at night, weren't loud about it and took our trash with us. That was very pleasant.
Hotels - Hotels always have liquid or foam hand soap! I hate the bar soaps that most Western hotels provide in the room, so I usually bring my own liquid hand soap. Was totally not necessary for this trip.
- Lots of people on this sub have mentioned check-in time being very precise, as in you rarely can check in before the designated time. We didn't experience this first hand. But on the flip side, we did find out that check out time is very precise too! They start calling your room about 15-20m after your check out time. This is in contrast to most American/European hotels that we've stayed at, which are in my experience very lax about their check out times. We can often get away with leaving the room at 1-2 hours after the stated check out time (we're late risers). Not so in Japan.
- Agree with other people's advice that booking a hotel close to a big subway station is probably the most important factor. It sucks having to walk 10m to the station every single day, and it is amazing when it is close. Also being close to a 24/7 convenience store was also very nice for late night munchies.
Language - We only knew sumimasen, konichiwa, and arigato gozaimasu and got alone just fine (lots of hand gestures!). We do know a bit of Mandarin Chinese though so that was helpful with reading signs.Some places knew Mandarin better than English and would switch to that if they thought we could speak it. Chinese tourism seems like big business (we saw a ton of Chinese tourists everywhere) so I guess it makes sense for people in tourism industry to cater towards that. Announcements (like over train stations) always went Japanese, English, often Chinese, then sometimes Korean.
Luggage Forwarding * I thought it was kind of expensive, but it does make things easier.- ○ Tokyo -> Hakone: 2310 yen- ○ Hakone to Kyoto: 2630 yen- ○ Kyoto -> Osaka: 1940 yen. * I feel like for that price you could take a taxi to and from your hotels to the train station and it wouldn't be much more work. There was plenty of space on the Shinkansen to put smaller checked luggage overhead. Then you don't have to prepack things the day before. * For the first leg Tokyo -> Hakone, we shipped two checked luggage which was about ~32 euros. After that we only shipped one, not two. * The middle ground we found was to designate one suitcase as souvenirs and dirty laundry and forwarded it every time. We would then travel with two carry-ons and one checked luggage. YMMV depending on your number of luggage and ease of carrying them.

2023.06.10 21:17 M3MacbookAir How should I ask my electrician to achieve this?
Can you recommend which way I should go for this switch?
I have a pool water fountain switch that’s 240v 30 amps at my breaker that I want to get into HomeKit. The way (I think) I see it, I have two options
Use the existing switch on the panel, and put a Shelly HomeKit relay behind it while using another 30amp relay to convert to the correct power for the first relay.
Or, buy a HomeKit smart switch and put a 2 Pole 30amp with 120v coils relay to make the 120v switch work normally.
Of course I have no electrical experience so what I’m saying might not make sense but essentially I just want to get this high powered switch into HomeKit. What makes more sense?

2023.06.10 21:12 TearInRain Replace breaker in subpanel
I have a 60amp sub panel in my house, there is a breaker in the main panel for the sub.
There is a 20-amp breaker in the subpanel which used to be for an oil furnace that has since been removed. I would like to disconnect (and remove) the current wires from that breaker and connect a new circuit to it.
My question is: if I turn off the breaker for the subpanel in the main panel, is it then 100% safe to work on the subpanel? There shouldn’t be anything hot in the sub panel at that point, right?

2023.06.10 21:00 HopelesslyFucked Can a venue be too big for a small wedding?
I fell in love with a venue, it’s in the budget and fits our vibe perfectly, but it’s a 50-100 person venue. I would be extremely hard pressed to find 50 people to invite to my wedding, my FH and I are very isolated people with extremely stressful family situations. He loves it too, and I don’t know where to go from here.
The same location has some smaller venues as well but some of them are outdoors only which I’m not comfortable with and others are just really not as vibey as the main hall.
It would be weird, right, to have an “intimate” guest list spread out in a weird place?

2023.06.10 20:11 starrbaby821 Type me off of these points (please)
I used the questions in the pinned post as a guideline but I formatted it this way so it's less clunky and easier to read ;)
- 22F. I have an anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and (suspected) ADHD
- I'm very close with my family and I have a really positive upbringing. One of my parents does have anxiety-related mental health issues which caused them to become overprotective and I believe has lead to some of my own anxiety-related characteristics. Aside from that they were pretty lenient and they didn't really have too many rules. My parents are immigrants and because they spent a lot of time working/don't know English, I grew up very independent as a child and took on a lot of responsibilities at a young age. As a child I was very curious and obedient, but I did get into a lot of mischief with my friends.
- I'm in school rn to be an elementary education teacher and I do love it a lot! I do get bored of it sometimes but I think I would feel that way in almost any career since I like experiencing new things and get bored once things become too routine. My other top career choices are in the meteorology, criminal justice, and forensic fields.
- If I had to spend a weekend without hanging out with my friends I'd be very bored. I do need to recharge at times (In that time I'll usually clean my room or be on my phone) but I'm usually doing something with somebody every day.
- I like meeting new ppl but I'm way more comfortable if others introduce people to me... I usually don't introduce myself to ppl first :)
- I'm very easy going and I like doing a lot of different activities. I like watching and casually playing sports, but I didn't really grow up playing any. I like rollerskating, exploring new places, traveling, arts and crafts, playing music (I wanna learn to play the electric guitar) and going out at night. I like doing both indoor and outdoor activities but I prefer outdoor. I also have a preference for doing these things with friends.
- I'm a very curious person but my curiosities are mostly based on things I can physically observe. I'm not super into philosophical things.
- I like being in charge of things but I prefer a leadership position where I'm semi-in charge (?), but not at the highest position.
- I've always preferred working with my hands and it is my preferred learning style!
- I could be artistic? I'm very artistically creative (crafts, writing, sometimes music) but I've not been committed enough to express my creativity... but whenever I do, I'm super into it and talented at it.
- I live in the present. I am good at making connections with past events but I try not to dwell on anything in the past. I don't plan anything out into the future either. I like taking it one step at a time.
- I'm always willing to lend a hand and help friends and family... and strangers, if I like their vibe. I used to volunteer a lot. Helping others makes me feel good but tbh I just mainly volunteered b/c I liked the activities itself, helps with my boredom, and makes me feel like a more well-polished and qualified human being (like picking up trash, raising money, etc)
- I am good at starting projects. I am bad at finishing them. I am terrible at doing things I don't wanna do.
- I daydream every now and then (usually abt scenarios that have/could happen in my life) but I'm very aware of my surroundings and snap back to reality easily
- I'm pretty opinionated and I love making sure others know where I stand on things. Sometimes I won't argue with someone to keep peace but I'll kinda be like "oh I disagree this is why but whatever" and move on. With people I'm close with I absolutely have no problem disagreeing, arguing, and defending myself.
- I have trouble processing and expressing some emotions, especially sadness. I definitely feel sad sometimes but I have a very "just move on dwelling doesn't do anything to help" mentality and I tend to ignore those feelings altogether.
- I have a quick temper :s
- I'm not a rule breaker, but I'm the epitome of malicious compliance. That being said I haven't had major issues with authority tbh a lot of older people think I'm respectful
- I have MAJOR FOMO
- I love cleaning and organization but my personal spaces get quite messy. It’s really a weekly cycle of obsessive cleaning and throwing stuff around
- I am quite security conscious and a voice of reason in my group but these qualities completely go away when I am medicated or under the influence of something, which makes me thing it might be anxiety-related rather than a personality thing
- Some of my other interests include reality/adult animation tv, make up and fashion, trying new things, drinking, exploring and road tripping etc etcc.
- Some things I don’t like to do is binge watch tv/movies, philosophical discussions, staying inside, sleeping, playing chess

2023.06.10 18:24 labxplore Trying to figure out a whole home audio setup that works well with Home Automation AND let me bridge a Zone with speaker wires ending in a different spot than all others
| I'm trying to plan an whole home audio setup that can be automated/integrated with HA but found out that speaker wires for Zone 2 end in a different place (Box B) than all other wires (Box A) :( https://preview.redd.it/41iv1rwmu75b1.png?width=1054&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb9deb7cd5699ad1ffdd216ad4006dd7caf51b26 Details I know so far: - Would like to setup 5 independent zones with the ability to combine some. Most common combinations will be Zone 1 + 2, 1+2+3 and 4+5.
- Input sources would be various: Media server, TV (wireless so may need a BT bridge or something), Airplay, Musical Instruments (thinking 2.4GHz transmitter to Media server), HA announcements. No more than 3 sources playing at the same time.
- Speaker wire is 16 AWG, 4 wires where each run can be connected to a pair of speakers. All runs EXCEPT ZONE 2 end in the same place where the media serveHA server is. This is where I plan to place the Amplifier too.
- There is a conduit with CAT5E between Box A and another location very close to BOX B, where I could try to pull new cable/wire if needed.
- Ceiling speakers will be 8ohms (6ohms min) and 100-150W max.
- Audio system would be used about 10%-15% of the day, so auto-sleep, auto-shutdown or independente zone shutdown would be helpful for power savings...
- Entire setup should be local-only ( no cloud based, subscriptions solutions )
- My first thought was to go with a Monoprice 6-zone amplifier or similar options but I'm getting stuck on how to connect Zone 2 wire speaker to the rest of the setup to allow for Zone 1+2 or 1+2+3 output.
Thoughts / Questions: - Would an amp like the Monoprice well suited for the type of speakers/power requirements?
- Should I just run a new "patch" speaker wire between A & B and bridge that terminate on audio ports + banana plugs and connect to the other speaker wire already there for Zone 2?
- Is there a setup that let me "cascade" the main Multi-zone amp with a local small amp just for Zone 2 but still centrally controlled + integrates well with Home Assistant?
- Other options I haven't considered? (Sonos setup has a higher price tag but what concerns me the most is the past "brick-it" company behavior...)
- Also taking suggestions on the best way to connect the TV and musical instruments wirelessly to the media serveamp.

2023.06.10 18:07 svrounder Neural bus in Multiplus installation
Hi all,
I’m installing a Multiplus 3k 120 12v inverter charger aboard my sail boat. I have a pretty simple 30 amp AC shore power set up — in addition to the two pole ECLI breaker for the main AC panel I have a sub panel for the 15 amp outlets and another sub panel for the hot water heater.
I know to keep the neutral from the Multiplus’ AC separate from the my boat’s neural common bus. (This is to prevent any nuisance tripping if the marina shore power pedestal has a ECLI breaker).
But is there any issues if I use a common neutral bus for both the Multiplus’ AC 1 and the AC 2 outs?
Hope that make sense. I can post a diagram if helpful.
Thanks much!

2023.06.10 18:00 mrnapolean1 What's the best way to size up a sub panel for an outlying building?
I got a 10x12 storage building. I'm converting to a she-shed for my mom so she's got somewhere to do her arts and crafts. I have a milbank meter pole installed on the property and the meter box has a 200 amp main breaker in it and it's got branch circuits alongside the 200 amp breaker.
The millbank box indicates that 100 amp is the maximum size breaker you can put in the branch circuit. What I'm trying to do is figure out how many amps I need to send to this building so I can get the appropriate wire and breaker for it.
Obviously there's going to be lights and outlets. I will have one window air conditioner and one mini fridge in there.
Any help is appreciated.

2023.06.10 16:58 NinjaAssassinKitty 39 [M4F] Seeking an LTR with a like-minded, outdoorsy geek!
As the title says, I'm a single guy that's ready to jump back into dating to hopefully find a long-term relationship, although I'm trying as much as I can to avoid the hell-hole that is dating apps :)
I'm 39 my personality can probably be split into two parts: First comes the homebody, geeky part. I love videogames. Legend of Zelda is my favourite gaming series. I'm currently playing through Elden Rings and although I generally don't like Souls-like games, somehow I find myself pretty into this one!
I'm also big into board games and have an ever-growing collection. My friends and I get together every Saturday to play board games throughout the day and if we hit it off you'd be welcome to join!
Other things I enjoy at home are reading (mostly sci-fi and fantasy, I'm a huge fan of Pratchett), watching the occasional show, cooking delicious feasts and cats. Although the cat part is starting to get into the second part: the outdoorsy bit, because I go on outdoor walks with my cat in the neighbourhood when it's warmer outside.
We've also done other adventures like hiking trails (great success, if a bit slow) and kayaking (limited success there!). Other outdoorsy or sporty things I enjoy are playing soccer, hiking, cycling, camping, travel and rock climbing (although haven't been since the pandemic - want to get back into it together?).
I grew up in the Middle East, but have been here for over 20 years now and find myself much more culturally aligned with Canada than the Arab world. I'm not religious, consider myself a feminist and all and all, other than a taste for delicious Middle Eastern food, I don't find myself at home back there.
In terms of deal breakers, I don't have many but please be a non-smoker. Also, it's likely that having kids aren't in my future, so if you are 100% certain you want kids, I'm not your guy. I drink casually although I'm not a big drinker, and occasionally enjoy some weed gummies but I'm by no means a pothead.
If we share any of the above interests, feel free to drop me a message and let's chat! Happy to exchange pics too. I'm also always open to exploring new hobbies if you'd like to introduce me to something you enjoy, or sharing my own hobbies with someone new :)
PS: I'd prefer an inbox message with a bit about yourself, instead of a chat message.

2023.06.10 14:39 stupidsexyflan Homeowners Insurance: Are retrofit electric panels for Zinsco acceptable?
My townhouse complex has three types of banned electric panels and breakers. Zinsco panel and breakers, Federal Pacific "stab-lok" and a large federal pacific main panel.
I know we must replace the "stab lok" boxes, but can we retrofit (essentially keep the box and copper wires but change every else like the breakers and bus bar) for the Zinsco and/or main Federal Pacific boxes and meet insurance standards?
Does anyone have links about insurance standards with regards to electric panels retrofits? I can't seem to find any. Thanks.

2023.06.10 14:18 SubjectBuffalo0 Dropshipping Candles: A Lucrative Niche Business Opportunity
| https://preview.redd.it/sln5e814l65b1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=7720e34e791e67913bfa5d656b03ebeb64e40ae1 When it comes to starting an online business, dropshipping has become a popular option in recent years. One of the most profitable niches in the dropshipping industry is candles. With the increasing demand for scented candles and eco-friendly alternatives, dropshipping candles can be a lucrative business opportunity. In this article, we will explore the benefits of dropshipping candles, product ideas, and marketing strategies to help you succeed in this niche market. The Advantages of Dropshipping Candles One of the main advantages of dropshipping candles is that you don’t need to hold inventory. With dropshipping, you simply list the products on your online store and when a customer places an order, the supplier ships the candles directly to the customer. This reduces the cost and risk of holding inventory and frees up your time to focus on other aspects of your business. Another advantage of dropshipping candles is that it is a low-cost business model. You can start with minimal investment, and as your business grows, you can expand your product range and marketing strategies. Dropshipping also allows you to test different product ideas and niche markets, without committing to a large inventory. Product Ideas for Dropshipping Candles There are many different types of candles that you can sell in your dropshipping business. Here are some product ideas to consider: Soy Candles Not only are soy candles more eco-friendly, but they also last longer. As such, soy candles are made from soy wax that is 100% natural and derived from soybeans. Soy wax burns slower than typical candle paraffin wax. So, our customers can enjoy their candles for a while, which increases the perceived value of the product. Moreover, while most candles emit black soot, soy candles burn much cleaner. Thus, they don’t require any chemical amplifiers to produce a nice candle scent. And, although they are typically made in classic candle jars, they can be adapted into pillar candles. With this in mind, ensure to offer customers variations whenever possible so the sales potential is higher. Beeswax Candles These types of candles are brighter and burn for a longer period. Because they have a higher melting point in comparison to other candle waxes, they emit a brighter, warm-toned flame. Thus, beeswax candles are perfect for a cozy night with our favorite book. Plus, beeswax candles emit a soft scent that ranges from honey to hints of pollen. There are various kinds of beeswax candles. So, be sure to add multiple options in your store to increase your product range and sales. Beginner’s Tip: Offer different-sized candle holders to be paired with beeswax candles as a cross-selling technique. This will enable you to increase your average order value. Scented Candles Scented candles are one of the most popular types of candles on the market. They come in a variety of aromas such as lavender, vanilla, and peppermint. You can target specific audiences by offering scented candles that cater to their preferences. For instance, you can offer candles with scents that promote relaxation and stress relief, or candles that are designed for meditation and yoga. LED Candles LED candles are a great option for those who want the ambiance of candles without the safety hazards associated with open flames. They are battery-operated and can be used in a variety of settings such as weddings, restaurants, and spas. Furthermore, LED candles are composed of energy-efficient light bulbs, making them easy to install in existing fittings. So, where can we place LED candles? Well, with their decorative aesthetic, various color temperatures, and dimmable features, they’re ideal for chandeliers or wall sconces. With this in mind, you can differentiate yourself from the competition by offering LED candles in your stores. When you stand out among all the dropshippers, you’ll rake in higher profits! Pillar Candles Pillar candles are a classic choice that never goes out of style. They come in a variety of sizes and colors and can be used for decoration or as a centerpiece. You can offer pillar candles in different shapes such as columns or cylinders to cater to customers’ preferences. Birthday Candles Birthday candles are a must-have for any celebration. You can offer a variety of options such as traditional candles, numbered candles, and themed candles to cater to different occasions and age groups. Expanding Your Product Range Expanding your product range is another effective way to maximize your profit potential in your candle dropshipping business. Here are some product ideas to consider: Candle Accessories Candle accessories such as holders, snuffers, and lighters can be a great addition to your product range. These products can provide an upselling opportunity and increase your average order value. Aromatherapy Candles Aromatherapy candles are another popular product that you can consider adding to your product range. These candles use essential oils to promote relaxation and stress relief, making them popular among customers who value wellness and self-care. Custom Candles Custom candles are a unique and personalized product that can set your business apart from the competition. You can offer custom-designed candles for weddings, corporate events, or special occasions. Marketing Strategies for Dropshipping Candles To succeed in the dropshipping candles niche, it’s important to have a solid marketing strategy. Here are some ideas to consider: Social Media Marketing Social media marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach your target audience. You can create social media pages for your business and post high-quality images of your products. You can also use social media advertising to target specific demographics and interests. Email Marketing Email marketing is another effective way to reach your customers. You can create a mailing list of subscribers and send them newsletters, promotions, and updates about your products. Influencer Marketing Influencer marketing is a popular trend in the dropshipping industry. You can collaborate with influencers in your niche to promote your products to their followers. This can help you reach a wider audience and build brand awareness. Upselling and Cross-Selling Upselling and cross-selling involve offering customers additional products or upgrades to their existing purchases. This can help increase your average order value and maximize your profits. Pricing Strategies One of the most important factors to consider when maximizing your profit potential is setting the right price for your products. Here are some pricing strategies to consider: Competitive Pricing You can set your prices based on the competition in the market. Research what other online stores are charging for similar products and set your prices accordingly. Be sure to offer competitive prices and marketing promotions to attract customers. Value-Based Pricing Value-based pricing involves setting prices based on the benefits that the customer will receive from the product. For instance, you can offer unique scents or eco-friendly options that justify a higher price point. Bundling Bundling involves offering multiple products for a lower total price than if each product was purchased separately.

2023.06.10 10:29 PersonalUniversity Tested entire house, slightly confused about what is going on / explanation?
Hey,
Wondering if anyone would like to look at something and help me out with understanding what / why something is the way it is.
I am just not sure how much or how little information to post so maybe shoot me a PM?. I wanted to understand the electrical in the house as there was nothing labelled. So I got some circuit testers and went to work.
I have diagrams, spreadsheets, and went around and tested every single fixture and outlet. And anything I couldn't test using the tool I used process of elimination and old just shut it off and check the device (like the clothes dryer / dishwasher) to figure it out.
I have pics of the two panels (there is a larger main one, then this smaller one)
For the most part it makes sense, but one thing I cannot figure out or understand is:
#19/20 on the main large panel is a 40a.
It has a lot of stuff on it. But for whatever reason on the small panel. #8 will shut off power to everything on 19/20.
But the tools will not pick up anything on the small panel. I tried multiple times yet nothing. The small panel is numbered 1-8 and each slot has a 15a small breaker. Using the testing tools, nothing comes up on this small panel or the breakers.
Since the entire reason for doing this was to get some understanding, was hoping someone could help me out. It seems to have been working fine for over a decade but I would like to update to pot/recessed lights sometime in the future.

2023.06.10 10:25 Alarmed_Fly_3095 Trouble getting a good signal to FOH
I need help with getting a good overall mix for my wife's solo acoustic performances. She plays a 4-string tenor guitar and a baritone ukulele, but we've struggled to achieve a strong signal to the main PA speakers from the guitar. The tenor guitar has a Mojo Tone Quiet Coil NC-1 pickup, and the baritone ukulele has an LR Baggs Five0 UST pickup. We route the pickups to either a Fishman Aura Spectrum or an LR Baggs Session DI, which then connect to an Allen and Heath Qu-Pac mixer. The mixer feeds two Yamaha DZR12s and occasionally an EV PXM 12-inch monitor for outdoor or larger venues. The vocal mic we use is a Telefunken M80.
To address the weak guitar sound, I've ensured that the instrument preamp volume is set to the maximum and adjusted the input gain on the DI just below clipping, with the DI output set to 80-100%. This results in an input signal on the mixer's channel strip ranging from -6dB to -3dB, which is ideal. The faders on the mixer are set at 0 or close to it. However, despite minor EQ adjustments and no compression, the output signal on the channel fader for the guitar only reaches around -24dB. On the master fader, the signal outputs at around -30dB. While it's audible and workable, it still feels weak. I find myself constantly adjusting the sound and vocals to match the weak guitar.
The issue becomes more evident when the master fader on the Qu-Pac is set to unity, the input meters on the back of the Yamaha DZR12s don't register a visible signal from the guitar unless there's a vocal simultaneously. I'm unsure of the best course of action. If my gains are already set correctly, why am I losing so much sound between the mixer input and master output? I'm not even seeing any feedback on the DZR input meters. I've considered boosting the input gain settings on the speakers to get a proper reading from the guitar and then adjusting the vocal levels accordingly. However, I've been advised that the input gains on speakers should typically be set to 0, so I haven't experimented much in that area. I'm at a loss as to where else I can boost the signal.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Is it normal to increase the gains on speakers when using a mixer? I've been told they should generally be set to 0, but I'm open to trying different approaches to resolve this issue.
