Retail shopping might make you feel empowered but it doesn't last. It's just another pain killer, and you end up addicted just like any other pain killer.

It doesn't have to be over, but good business practice suggests that when the elevator door opens - we check that the elevator is actually there before stepping forward. Such is the case with deciding to buy new equipment. We should already have confirmed bookings that will help us pay for it...

I have stands. When I'm working the crank is with them.

Can I find this lack of empathy somewhere on your graph? . . . You don't seem to have any actual test results for that either. Calling people "killers" because they don't subscribe to your over-zealous approvals is unfortunate. I'll take a pass on Californian values (the incessant need to...

The thing about free advice - is people are free not to take it. The problem is us . . if we are upset when someone fails to match up with our prescription.

Like many engineers what you lack is common sense, The thing you don't have a hold on is common sense ( - I get it, this happens with some engineers.) Time to put the narcissist back in the closet, along with his graphs. The Hum-X (ebTech) is rated for just 6A (120V) That's a clear indication...

Like when you're out late on a Friday night and the ground suddenly rises up to me your face.

Looks like a weapons cache from some robo-movie.

Both of those are false statements. You haven't verifed the rating of the two diodes, don't know their material failure point, or the rise time required to physically break the connection. You have not done any testing. There is no basis for accusing the manufacturer of deception in it's...

They're good speakers with some really handy features. Your purchase (if new) is far enough into the production that whatever issues existed are likely resolved. (A good reminder that it's not always best practice to be the first to jump when a new product is developed unless you can afford to...

GFI is mandated outdoors everywhere in the U.S. That's a consumer and workplace safety standard applying to installations or anywhere the public is allowed unrestricted access to a electrical outlet. That is separate from what we put in our rack to protect it from faulty or unbalanced power...

You're missing the obvious: Ground loops don't exist until we do something to create them. Until then, there are simply various supply points that may or may not have slightly differing potentials relative to each other, or a given earth point. My loops don't cause trips to GFI outlets or...

Not a jab. Simple case of pattern recognition.

I have a habit of not telling anyone what I buy. I have another habit of not posting it online. But I've never had my van stolen, so don't take that as any kind of advice.

You're wrong about that. I have my own custom loop installed on ALL of my quad boxes and power strips. Diode failure simply means they lose their ability to block the low level ground loop. The circuit itself does not open and a safety ground remains intact. 10A is not a destructive material...
