Mine is too. Glad you saw him.
I'm home now. Gotta work a lot so catch ya'll this weekend.
Check your radar againI'm looking forward to some rain. Looks like the front stalled though.
I'm going to go out and give the sky a good
Oops.. @Robert Cromwell I may have rabbled in the wrong direction. Hope you've got a boat.
Me thinks it should have been done by a real doctor to begin with.
Dragging shit around and whatnot was something your company routinely asks of employees?
Sounds like they are asking for a possible lawsuit if someone got hurt doing all those bizarre pre-real-stress-test things.
Hello, and GFY Fugees!
On the subject of free shit, I gotta ask. Suppose you have a pissed off customer (in this case me) and you have admitted you screwed up and asked how you can fix it. My response was I don't think you can fix it. So you offer me a big discount on my next order. I turn it down, again saying I don't plan to buy from you again. If I've already turned down a huge discount and made it clear that I did so because I have no intention of buying from you again, would you still tell me you are going to send me free shit anyway? On the one hand now I feel like a dick if I don't buy from this company again, because he is trying to make up for screwing things up, but on the other hand I wasn't saying that in order to try to get free shit, I was saying it because I meant it.
And I just got the email of what he's sending, it adds up to twice the total of the order they screwed up on, and 8 times what the value of the screw up was. God damn it, now I'm gonna feel guilty about telling him I wasn't doing business with him again. Fucking customer service.
Well he shoulda just sent the free shit then. I mean as long as he keeps eating he can keep making more shit, so if someone wants it why not give it to them.

Well, we haven't exactly gotten along during the past 15 years, so it was pretty awkward. We couldn't possibly be any different and somehow were relatedMine is too. Glad you saw him.
I'm home now. Gotta work a lot so catch ya'll this weekend.
We need rain so bad...but thankfully I live on top of a big hill in the central part of Louisville, so a fairly flood vulnerable city is not an issue. Bring on the storms!!

Obviously he's trying to manipulate you into feeling exactly that. My general feeling is, if you know you're being manipulated, maybe try one small order from him -- not a lot of $$ -- and see how it goes. Sometimes mistakes happen, and maybe he's trying to make up for that; one more small order might give him a chance to retrieve the situation. But if you do order one small thing for not a lot of $$, and he fucks up again.. then that would be that.

I *constantly* query fate regarding my mother having such an offspring as myself. We somewhat resemble in looks -- actually, we *both* look like her mother, though in slightly different ways, and my son looks JUST like my mom, though with much lighter hair. But our personalities and attitudes could not BE more different. I thought I was a changeling most of my life... until my son came out looking just like her.

There is always a wattage limit.
And depending on the atty, airflow, vaping style it will vary.
Just work you way up till you find your sweet spot. You might go over the first time and singe some cotton but that is part of the process. You learned the upper limit of that particular build in that atty.

Good fucking afternoon & GFY! Was quite busy today. Got the Coppervape box tho.
People screw up, its a fact of life but I am impressed with how they handled it and am curious of who the company is. This is exactly what they was aiming for. They knew you was mad but now with their great customer service your not going to go online and plaster all over every vape forums how they suck. Instead your gonna share how they did fuck up but went over and beyond in trying to make up for it.
IMHO that is the kind of vape store I want to do business with. They know customer satisfaction will make or break them and from where I am sitting, thats the best kind of store there is. They actually care if your happy with your order.
Wattage would go around 60-70, any more than that would be a bit much. There's no temp limit I would say that's down to your personal preference. I like around 450F.

Work is underway on the Kayfun Maximus.
Anybody in here familiar with household electricity related questions Etc? I know it's totally off topic. Trying to help a friend out but they have an old house with old wiring and I don't want to start a fire in the process...

What's up?
Good afternoon, Fugee's, and GFY. I hope you are all doing well.
Made it from S.E. Michigan to N.W. Iowa yesterday on the bike without event. Well, except some serious tanning, my GOD it was hot and bright.
But, Iron Butt award goes to my business partner and bestie. He met me here, riding NON STOP all the way from New Port Ritchie, FL. 1400+ miles without stops except food and fuel. I'm IMPRESSED!! Dayum....

It's up to you whether or not you want to be a dick and not order from them again.
At least they are attempting to make it right if indeed you weren't the dick to begin with
Well, I generally don't go around talking crap about any company at least by name on the internet. But I suppose many do, thus the previous 'blackmail' discussion.
You are right though, the guy I talked to was going out of his way to try to make up for it. I have my doubts about their ability to ship things properly (this started with me paying extra for one type of shipping and them using standard USPS anyway, though there is a bit more to it than that) but VaporBeast does seem to have excellent customer service.
I still feel a bit like he's trying to bribe me, when the value of the "care package" as he called it is more than the original order.

Well yesterdays goat fuck got a lot worse. I was suppose to go back there yesterday afternoon and a physical therapist would be working on my arm but that turned out to be pure bullshit. They had me doing a lot of shit an aviation mechanic would never do and they had me doing it in a warehouse that was 90 degrees and %100 humidity. After a few hours I started to get nauseated and they said I was extremely pale, with heart rate getting up there. I sat for a bit and then back at it doing more stupid shit. They had this wooden crate with cinder blocks on it and they measured 50 pounds pull on it. They wanted me to drag that 8 feet then push it back to the original position every 30 seconds for 20 times. I did it and that had the heart rate up to 159. 169 is the theoretical %100 rate for a male my age so they was pushing it. Went to the guys desk and was going to sit a minute while heart rate settled some and was told no, to go carry a 50 pound tool box up a flight of stairs and back down. I did that and started getting chest pains and that was a wrap!
Now I gotta go take a stress test....damnit
Really bummed on your behalf
Employérs don't always return the loyalty you show them and you oftentimes pay twice when trying to do the right thing
So I'm trying to put a free standing air conditioner into an older house. It says on the package it requires a 15amp connection but the online specs puts it at using 9 amps. I'm just trying to figure out if it would be safe to use in a house with older wiring. The only other things on that circuit are a flat-screen tv, some lights, and a 2amp charger, and occasionally a playstation 4. I'm guessing it'll have roughly double the amp draw that the two large fans that are in there now would have

He is trying to bribe you - but what is wrong with that?
9 Amps is the running amps once it starts up. It will draw more than that when starting up.
also what sized wire and breaker for that circuit?
And how old is the house?
Also you might want to consider replacing that receptacle with a good quality new one. No one you get for around a dollar.
also just in case you do not know the AC must be vented out a window with hoses.

So, I'm supposed to meet up with someone I met on ECF a few months ago who actually made it all the way up to my neck of the woods.
Call for help if I don't get back tonight!

Unfortunately I have no idea about the wire size or breaker size. The house is 1940s or so if I'm not mistaken, but I'm not clear on what upgrades have been made since then. It handles the load that's on it now very well, so it seems to me like we're talking about between 4-8 more amps being asked of it
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Most circuits in homes are 15A so it's just saying you need a normal circuit. 9 amps is ~1000W. A 15A circuit is capiable of ~1800W. The start up draw of a compressor is about double the running current so most likely that unit will blow the breaker if plugged in with all that other stuff. I would not use it. I recommend getting a smaller window unit. 5500btu units draw ~ 5A and would work better than the freestanding unit.
Agreed.
The freestanding units are not very good at all.
As long at the wire size is 12 or larger not a problem I can think of.
The fact that they exhaust interior air is a real problem. If they had a separate air hose to draw outside air to feed the evaporator coil it wouldn't be causing outside air to be drawn into the house through the cracks and they would work much better.
The only part that I can think of that is insane and really dangerous, is that he FORGOT MY DOC IGUANA CARE PACKAGE, and I'm about out of Supima Gold. That's just plain reckless...

I imagine you would know air conditioning like Cromwell knows lawns
AC 1000W running 2000W startup
TV 200-400W
PlayStation 150W
That's ~ 1400W running. Startup ~2400W
If it's a modern 15A circuit it go pop. If it's an old screw type fuse you risk outlet failure
If it's new outlets and wire on a 20A /2200W run it's still close. I wouldn't risk it in a old house. Especially if the outlets are daisy chained from room to room.

I know, dick move on Moo's part
Wow! And you didn't send him packing right away?
Damn, now that is fucked up.....
The ps4 wouldn't be used when the ac is running most likely. It'd be the TV, a light, and the ac 99% of the time. Unfortunately a window unit isn't an option here. This is also the only electricity being used on this entire floor of the house. There has been six fans in there before, and from what I can tell those draw as much or more than the ac when all at max speed together. Is there any indicators we can count on before were talking about starting a fire? Like dimming lights during the compressor starting up, etc..
