    What Would You Do?

    Simply repeating the question really isn't a useful response here. Feel free to refer back to the answer I originally gave. If you repost the question again you'll get the same answer again.

    What Would You Do?

    Looks like a loaded question. Since you don't have rule over me the answer is irrelevant.

    Electric bill

    It varies widely. In the shoulder seasons, usually about $60/month or so. In the peak seasons it goes up - in the winter we sometimes use electric heat to top up the central heating in the cooler rooms, and in the summer we use the air conditioning. Insulating the house has made a huge...

    Bucks County, Pennsylvania

    It's great in theory to say that parents should just not let their kids join. In practise it's remarkably difficult to stop it. After a certain age it's pretty much expected that a child will have their own phone, and that age is getting progressively younger. Not having a phone leads to a...

    Lesson you learned from your father

    How to think. Among others, the rules say what they say, not necessarily what whoever wrote them meant to say. Whatever the intention was, what matters is what words are on the page.

    If 1 Corinthians 10:13 is supposed to be addressed to all Christians, it is not true

    Be a little careful with that line of reasoning. It requires a fundamental mindset that God has to think the way we think. Personally I'm not convinced that the only way to be perfected is by suffering. It's a handy phrase that can be thrown around, usually when someone else is doing the...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    It's surprising what body parts you find out about when you push something a little more than you've been used to! I remember the first ever time I did weight training as a teenager and the following days I discovered muscles I never knew existed...

    Price Question

    Shrinkflation is more problematic. If I need a 16oz can of something and the price goes from $1 to $1.10 I can see what is being done. If my $1 can goes from 16oz to 14oz it means I need two cans to complete a recipe, which means I end up paying $2 and potentially throwing most of the second...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I guess the question would be, if you put so much resistance in series with the LED, whether the failure to light was because the current was too low or the voltage across the LED was too low. If you have a 20V power supply and put a resistance of 39 times the resistance of the LED in series...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    It's been a few days since I went for a run because weather. Either wet or cold. Today I got another run in. Still not doing as well as I'd hoped keeping speed down but the natural speed my body wants to run is faster than it has been. Tomorrow is supposed to be wet so maybe I'll do another run...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I didn't get as far as making anything and am wondering what would make it work. I know zinc is used in some batteries and anything to do with ions moving around sounds very much like a regular battery, hence my questions about how long it will last and what sort of power it can produce...

    Dispensations for St. Patrick's Day

    I like the Onion's headline, describing how the Irish everywhere are preparing to celebrate Reinforcing of the Stereotypes.

    Dispensations for St. Patrick's Day

    I don't care much for cabbage the way most people cook it. I'll most likely raise a glass at my favorite brewpub. I don't really care for St Patrick's Day, not being Irish myself, but if there are promotions going on I'll check them out.

    A skill from YouTube?

    I wouldn't say exclusively from YouTube but from internet sites in general I've learned a few things. Only yesterday I was reading about brazing and attempted my first brazing job afterwards. It was a small job that doesn't come under any particular stress but so far is holding together. The...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I wouldn't expect a corporation to make it easy to do without their services. My curiosity is that if this experimental doodad can't provide enough power to be useful then it's not a lot of use, and if it has an expiry just like a battery then it's probably easier to just go and buy batteries...

    'Indentured servitude'

    It's not unreasonable for a company to expect to be repaid for expensive training if the receipient decides to leave for a better offer. The alternative is paying for the training yourself. That said if you take the training and the company then treats you very badly and potentially asks you to...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I spent some time clearing materials out of the room I'm working in. I'm starting to do some work on the ceiling so need to be able to move my ladder around as freely as possible, which isn't possible when I have lots of wood beams stacked. So now a lot of the wood beams are in the next room...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I need to see if I can rustle up some materials and give it a go. I'd be fascinated if this kind of rig can power something more than an LED. If it can provide enough power to sustain personal electronic devices I'd be curious; if it can run even a small heater it would really be something.

    Air Fryer

    You can get silicone inserts for air fryers so you may not even have to rinse it out, just put the insert into the dishwasher and be done with it. We have an air fryer. We bought it used from a friend who upgraded to a bigger one. We used it all the time at first, then it got consigned to the...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Did you try putting the ammeter in series with the rest of the circuit? I wasn't sure from what you described just what you were doing. If you put the ammeter across the load the way you would put a voltmeter you'd expect to get the same reading as before (based on the resistance of the ammeter...
