- Ok so this would be my Day 2 thread. It's still Tuesday where I am so I hope that counts. When I joined this I was in trade school, I chose the DIY role because it was what fit at that point, but it's been a while since I finished all my courses and graduated […]
- Interesting article below. Opinion: I’m a power engineer. The Iberian grid collapse makes me very afraid for Britain — The Telegraph We will soon lose most of our remaining grid inertia, increasing the risk of outages apple.news
- In a few minutes of boredom in a switchroom today we discussed why 'I' is used for current. If you think of Ohms law V & R are pretty obvious but why 'I' for current? If we were discussing inductance I could understand it but that's measured in henrys. So, without cheating and Googling it […]
- Last week, my sky Q box shut down, and through speaking to someone on the phone, I did a software update, and deleted a load of recorded programs…. Down to less than 30% disk used now. Happened again last night, during Eurovision! 3 times in an hour. Had to unplug power, plug back in, wait […]

- I have two goldfish at the moment named Goldfish 1 and Goldfish 2. They did have names but I can't remember what me and my daughter ended up agreeing on so it's a bit of a joke now that we call them 1 and 2. Actually should be called 1 and 4 as a couple […]

- Bit of a dilemma / argument with the way the Project manager, who has supplied me with a wiring diagram that hes done for control of hot water in a block of 4 cottages. The cottages are pme earthing, there are 2 phases split between the 4 cottages. There needs to be a call for […]
- Wondering if this Heathrow thing it outside state actors like the ones with Paris Olympics or whatever it was that was on. Winter Olympics? Para? Can't remember. Could a sub stations blow up and bellow orange smoke from it? Seems fishy. Thought I'd ask the lads who would know.
