  • What is a niche hobby of yours that you are fascinated by and would like to share with others?

  • Goodwills are general worse in my opinion.

    They set up an auction site and now all the good stuff is up for auction instead of sitting on shelves

  • After a power outage, some electronics refuse to turn back on unless I unplug the power brick completely on the electronic side. Why does this happen?

    Jump

  • It’s just a theory based off of my own experience, but if that’s the issue, it kinda depends on how large the capacitors are and what kind of capacity they’re capable of holding.

    If it is the issue, I’d expect it to take like 5 minutes for it to discharge completely, but that’s just a guess. If everything is already out of its usual place, you could probably test it if you’re curious enough.

  • It’s hard to tell without a circuitry layout, but my best guess is that there’s probably capacitors in the power brick acting as an electrical filtration for the motors to make them operate smoothly and reliably.

    The capacitors are probably discharging some electricity that are keeping some circuit protective device alive. Unplugging the power brick is probably the only true way to completely remove electricity from the unit.

  • What’s your favorite name (Fem/Masc/Neutral) that’s pretty uncommon or overall extinct?

  • Testing is a name?

  • Also, if you have a warehouse membership from like Sam’s Club or Costco, they often have the synthetic oil you need for an absurdly low price.

    I was buying 5 quarts of oil for like $20-30, I bought a 4 pack of Costco brand 5 quart motor oil for like $40

  • The diode is a fly back diode, it’s just circuit protection no need to worry about it.

  • What generic products do you swear are superior to the name brand?

  • One of my old coworkers dads worked at a canning plant. He said his dad was in charge of the labeling and claims that almost all canned food is the same.

    He said they’d run x amount of green giant labels, x amount of del monte, x amount of best choice, etc all from the same batch.

  • Had to travel utegently out of town for a week and forgot to turn on the dishwasher before I left

  • I’m with you, my dishwasher is more of a sanitation device than a washer.

  • Is there a line from a movie that really resonated with you but when you say it most people don't get the reference?

  • You think I sound crazy. I mean, it's amazing. You people...

    You wear helmets when you ride your bikes.

    You have seat belts in your cars.

    You have alarm systems to protect your homes. But what do you do when those alarms go off?

    "Crazy" is building your ark after the flood has already come!

  • speaking of alternatives, what brand do people hate that actually has a decent alternative?

  • The handheld V series are pretty good IMO, I have a Sebo which is obviously better and more reliable but sometimes the convenience takes precedent
