    I wonder if that's regional or not. I can't say that I've seen that here. When I lived in Buffalo a lot of places just put vinegar on the table as a condiment for the fries.

    I'm going to say 99.999% there's no wall running between the interior and exterior brick. I've seen fake fireplaces with interior brick but I don't think they had brick outside. And if it is complete with chimney, flue, and legit masonry support of some kind (can see in the basement if there is...

    Also went to Steak and Shake last night. The poor waitress was waiting the entire seating area by herself, on a Saturday. I got a Double Cheeseburger meal, foot long chili cheese dog and a butterfinger shake. Buddy got a patty melt, cheese fries, and one of the chili/spaghett things (5-way or...

    I usually bring my own lunches to work, but I forgot once this week and had a coworker pick me something up at Sonic when they went for lunch. They told me that Sonic had a new 'spicy' Philly Cheesesteak, so I went with that. I was so disappointed that I'm still mulling over emailing the owner...

    What @Hateyou said. A large part of it is that with single phase, you aren't actually transmitting power 100% of the time. To get the same amount of power with a single phase circuit to the end load/device, as compared to 3 phase, it's going to take much more wire and a larger circuit. Motors...

    I still have a hard time remembering Delta and Wye calcs. Fucking vectors/phasors or whatever the fuck. [(sqrt3)/2]*240v is all the further I go anymore, and I needed to Google that as a refresher. I still get sqrt3 confused with sqrt2, and then I'm like 'oh yeah, that's RMS, 1.414 or 0.707...

    So...phase is really a wave relationship. And each phase is shifted 60 degrees from each other (3 phases and 6 poles, so 6*60 = 360 degrees), and this corresponds to your standard generator and how each phase is derived as it rotates If you take any single phase, when one pole is 'peaking'...

    Is $2k with everything? AFCI breakers as well? I'm assuming the service/meter channel/service conductors are staying, so I dunno.

    I worked at McDs. Before microwaves. Food was so much better. Biscuits were all made from scratch instead of being tossed into the oven frozen. Chicken Fajitas were so bomb. Actually searing the burger patties by hand instead of the "clamshells" that you just put the frozen patties under and...

    I don't even get the fork in a pan thing. It isn't any easier. And all my pans are shit and stuff sticks a bit anyways; spatulas are still easier. especially when I make a 5 or 6 egg scramble. I can't even imagine flipping that thing over, or getting it out of the pan, with a fucking fork, LOL

    Am I crazy, or was fast food this bad 20-30yrs ago? In a way I prefer fast-casual, especially if you can watch them prepare your meal, and then you get your meal clearly presented on a tray. Instead you get some knucklehead just throwing random shit into a bag without even bothering to check...

    I stopped at Wendy's late last night; nearly 10pm. Worked all day, then covered a class until after 9pm. I was burnt completely out and didn't want to cook when I got home (and I had to get up at 4am today) Go through drive-thru. Slow as SHIT. 5+ minutes later, with other cars pulled off to...

    If it's being run by an inverter/VFD and it only works at certain speeds and not others, then it's probably the inverter. Could be another issue, but really unlikely. Picasso is right about 208 being 3 phase. I'd expect to see it on the load voltage (output from the invert to the motor) but...

    I really miss the non-chain sub places back in Buffalo. At least we're getting better chains out in the midwest now and Subway isn't the only sandwich shop, but they still just aren't as good as legit places.

    This is also true. Most places, if you're going to do major rework they will insist on you bringing your wiring up to code, as much as is reasonable. Not reasonable as in $$$ (they don't care), but reasonable in whether you can do it w/o tearing open walls and such. And AFCI/GFCIs just go in the...

    Wait...where did you find a 3 phase outlet? Or are you talking about something like a 3-prong 240v outlet? I hate asking these questions because I know they sound super-pedantic, but it's going to bug the shit out of me if I don't ask death panel: accurate For Residential, yeah, you rarely...

    Yeah...saw "Zinsco" and stopped reading. Those panels are terribly unsafe. They have a place in the back, IIRC, where they 'pinch' over the busbar. They like to arc out there. Really bad design. The breaker case also likes to break and shatter in the back once they get hot enough, then the...

    Man, I still think Fedor should have gone for LHW. I dunno. He never really cut weight, so we don't know how well he would handle cutting to 205.

    I'm honestly not sure if I could or would play EQ for free. If it is anything like playing EQ2 for free was, there's too many restrictions that would annoy the everliving fuck out of me. I'm not 100% on this, but I think all the Prestige tagged gear is out of the question?

    Quik Trip breakfast: Chicken and Cheese Biscuit. Good for gas station food and one of my go-to items if I need to grab breakfast on the way to work.
