    The official "WTF" thread

    I noticed that also, but I have two doors that swing out to my lanai. I think (hope) the hinges used are tamper proof!

    Camera to stream basketball games at church

    @HMC8403 someone else asked about cameras for streaming a sporting event. My thoughts at the time was to use a portable basketball hoop to mount the camera to. If you have portables around, you can roll it around to find the best spot. You can mount at various heights to get the vantage point...

    Didn’t all the AI engines use Wikipedia and redit to train on? At least ChatGPT references them frequently.

    How to waterproof a PFA130-E junction box

    @ministrymason You keep mentioning a cable gland. I do not think finding one to clamp down on cat5 cable would be difficult. I have done this several times with cat5 cable and SO cord. But I think most glands would be to deep to screw it inside. How about a pipe to barbed connection like uxcell...

    Junction box hole size for my conduit

    Yes the 1/2 is 1/2 inch. But with pipe 1/2 is nominal not actual! It looks like the 20mmx1/2” is the right fitting for your 15mm pipe. But I’m just a yank! Your results may vary.

    Junction box hole size for my conduit

    So the conduit is comparable to our 1/2 pipe size. You might ask if they have g1/2 fittings. A US hardware store would not but maybe yours? Or Amazon.com.au? This from Bunnings https://www.bunnings.com.au/holman-15mm-x-1-2-pvc-valve-socket_p3141883 says 1/2 but I am clueless on if Australia 1/2"...

    Junction box hole size for my conduit

    From that link, that jb has one g1/2 opening on the back and 2 g1/2 openings along the perimeter of the box. G designation is for british standard pipe. It is roughly 1/2 npt. 15mm conduit seems a bit odd. Where are you measuring it? If you look at G Pipe Thread vs NPT - Metleader, you might be...

    Plumbers Start A Fire

    Don't know what they are doing but they are turning in the tighten direction. Maybe that is why they cannot get it loose.

    Amazon deal $70 JUNE 19 2025 : NETGEAR 8-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Essentials Switch (GS308PP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 83W

    I didn’t need one of these at $70 but it turned out that I did at $50! I got it yesterday and noticed “flexpoe” on the box. Just put a bigger power supply on it and get a higher poe budget. Is this hokus pokus? The upgraded power supply is way more than the switch. Would this apply to all poe...

    Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

    I kept getting a tingle when my forearm touched a slider when getting into the RV. I checked with my Fluke between the slider and concrete pad. It started out about 10 and I decided I would need to look into it later. At 60 volts, it hurt and I decided I should look into it NOW! The ground pin...
