Rider extraordinaire was the girl I'd hoped to spend my life with, but alas, I didn't clear my plan with the powers that apparently run the universe.

Imagination is not a universal human trait.

Need a little ciudado too.

Something wicked, evil, and irrational is alive in the world, and you can't fight it by pretending it doesn't exist.

Home electrical question........
Ace-Garageguy replied to JollySipper's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Can you explain why that would be? I understand that if the first one trips, it will kill power to the next one(s) down the line on the same circuit too, but why would having two on the same circuit make it "trip too easily"? Not arguing...just want to understand the logic. -

Are you sure they're both on the same breaker, the same circuit? -
Can you play a zither with those?

Ten is more or less than "many"?

While it's indeed correct that outlets downstream of a GFI outlet are protected by it, I'm a cowardly belt-and-suspenders kinda guy when it comes to electricity, and I'm cowardly enough to feel better if both of them were GFI outlets. -
Ah...that explains everything.

I said don't take my words out of context, which you did. Here's what I said EXACTLY: "I've NEVER used 5-minute epoxy for anything on a model car or anything else that I wanted to be permanent because I've never been impressed with its adhesion on ANYTHING, so why would I use it on a model I cared about? I've used it for temporary fixturing...on model cars and full scale things...because it's easy to peel off, especially if a surface isn't scuffed. And I've used it enough on various and sundry OTHER applications...as well as temporary model work...to form the opinion it's NOT something I choose to use for permanent assembly of a model."

More hot sauce for my gator-tail sandwich, if you please ma'am.

Show me the exact quote to back that up...and be sure you don't take my words out of context.

Boy, for somebody who says he doesn't care what anyone else uses, you sure are pushing this. Do you find the word "garbage" offensive on some level I can't fathom? Or is it just that subconsciously you feel that everyone has to use what you use or they're wrong?

That ain't no way to talk to the po-lice chief's son.

I guess my reading comprehension and question answering skills just aren't up to snuff. I've NEVER used 5-minute epoxy for anything on a model car or anything else that I wanted to be permanent because I've never been impressed with its adhesion on ANYTHING, so why would I use it on a model I cared about? I've used it for temporary fixturing...on model cars and full scale things...because it's easy to peel off, especially if a surface isn't scuffed. And I've used it enough on various and sundry OTHER applications...as well as temporary model work...to form the opinion it's NOT something I choose to use for permanent assembly of a model. "Distinct" enough? There's no "right" answer here. Use what YOU like, and I'll use what I like. I've said repeatedly it's adequate if used correctly for most static model car work, and if somebody likes it then USE it.

Around he-ah, we don't do things that way, boy.
-
Where do you get I've "never used" the stuff from anything I've written? Why would I have formed the opinion it was garbage without actually having some empirical evidence to base my opinion on?
-
I wrote I don't use epoxy for general assembly for models, I wouldn't use the 5-minute stuff for anything permanent, and why. You seem to want to take that as some kind of personal affront to your choice of adhesives. My saying that 5-minute epoxy is garbage compared to high performance epoxies, and garbage even compared to standard JB Weld, is a statement of my opinion based solely on my own experience, not an attack on your modeling choices. I hope that's clear enough.
