    Volt Meter

    If the OP is not measuring current (said before) then why bother getting a meter that measures it? Cheap ones only measure milliamps and better ones only 10A. Measuring current at the household level is dangerous. The Fluke 101 can be found in the $40-$50 dollar range. It can handle 600V...

    Since you're not measuring current, get a Fluke 101.

    Minimum wage spin offs

    And if the workers would stop complaining and start working harder and longer hours giving their "all" to the company then maybe some time soon the boss can buy another.

    Total eclipse - April 8 2024

    See if our friend in Kingston is taking the boat out. I think you can get far enough south in the water to be in the totality zone.

    Cold Hands

    It is a violation. Strictly speaking, every device (appliance, etc) plugged into circuits has to be "listed" for the purpose and used for the purpose listed. No way there would be a product that would let you draw from 2 legs that would bypass a common overcurrent disconnect (i.e. 2 leg breaker...

    Is there a special way to charge a lithium battery?

    I am reluctant to post here because of keyboard warriors mounting up with little or no qualifications.... Relax; your facts-based argument is losing traction to those who don't know that they don't know enough to know how little they know. There seems to be some basic lack of understanding...

    80s bikes... your favorite?

    Helmets on a plane??

    A 5 hour flight is as uncomfortable in gear as it is out of it. At least I wasn't cold... and I really didn't care what surfaces I bumped up in to. Or what surfaces bumped into me.

    Helmets on a plane??

    +1 to the helmet as carry on -- in a good helmet bag. Never had a problem. A few times I even rode the bike to the airport, parked in the free motorcycle parking right at the terminal (check out PDX), and flown wearing my leathers and boots. TSA let me walk through the scanners no problem...

    Moral Dilemma - Online Purchase

    ^^^ this. Except I wouldn't give a first, let alone second thought to anything owned by a Walton, Marcus, or Bezos. F them. Give the extra away without profiting from it and your conscience will be clear.

    Switched Power Vs. Constant Power.

    Everything should be switched unless you are adding an accessory with a clock. A voltage meter (if you're interested in charging voltage) should ideally be connected right at the battery with nothing in between. Any switch will drop a tiny bit of voltage and your reading will be slightly off...
