  • NEC 314.23(B) An enclosure supported from a structural member … shall be rigidly supported either directly or by using a … or wood brace

    NEC 314.23(B)(2) … Wood braces shall have a cross section not less than 1"x2"

    This is fine. I’m not an electrician and don’t know what that is securing the romex but I assume that’s approved.

    I mean I guess if the inspector wants they could deny it for not being “neat and workmanlike” but they’d have to really be an asshole. Like it’s weird but it’s not going anywhere, not like a switch is a heavy piece of equipment. This would probably even be fine for a light.

    In part because a large fraction are bullshit.

    I have seen boxes with ‘Open carefully, do not use a knife’ on the outer box when there was another set of cardboard boxes inside protecting the product. Oh yeah, real glad I didn’t cut the tape with my blade that’s not long enough to fully cut even one layer of cardboard.

    I have also seen a label “delicate product, fold carefully” on fucking denim jackets.

    When everything is ‘fragile’ nothing is. If you won’t pay for a packaging engineer then pay for actual special handling.


  • I remember it being big news in the vaping world when walmart started carrying vapes. I went out and bought some awful eGo pen and the world’s worst tasting juice in 2.4% nicotine. I managed to get through the little 20ml bottle of sour apple but the java flavor was so awful it remained my backup ‘it’s this or withdrawals’ juice for the better part of a decade. I think I picked withdrawals most of the time.




  • You know, right before lockdown I was hanging out with a friend and I said something to the effect of ‘eh, I do feel like people are overreacting a bit but at least this should normalize mask wearing when you’re sick like in parts of Asia.’

    Right now I have a very similar feeling hunch of ‘at least this should kill the myth that republican presidents are better for the economy’ and I can’t wait for the american people to once again show me just how stupid they are.
