US/Canada plugs/wiring can NOT withstand 1500~1800W 24/7.
Other than it's a crappy connector to pull apart
intermitantly, sure. But space heaters run 24/7!
There’s too much 14ga around on 20a breakers omg
(cause some IDIOT is always running a space heater WITH THE WINDOW OPEN BECAUSE THEY WANT FRESH AIR)
You should have just taken the jail time
Seriously should be a law, if you want fresh air go the $@#% OUTSIDE.
The genepool would have thanked you
@Rad 3 rooms in the house started flickering and they STILL SAW NO PROBLEM WITH THIS
Oh wait I should not be advocating murder
Bad rad
Bad
it wasn't until the burning smell that I ripped the space heater outta their room, turned the power off to half the house and demanded the landlord get an electrian over.
Yeah my current office in Tx is uh.. poorly insulated. So there’s a few space heaters that show up in winter. The building cannot handle that. So it tends to fall to me to replace a fuse so people can keep working and I have to tell them repeatedly to not use a space heater
@Melez Tell em they are only allowed space heaters on low.
I replaced a wall outlet once, it sucked
What I found.. was in that room, 3 rooms where powered off a light switch...
by a wire that was just *resting* on the screw of the light switch
it didn't get loose... it was apparently installed like that somehow? because the screw was still tight..
Yeah no. No space heaters. There’s only 4 circuits for the entire office of 25people
Like where do you find these people to live with? @Black Moons
lol
the wire insulation was charred COMPLETELY all the way back to where it entered the light switch box.
@Rad Oh it gets better. I caught her on top of the gas stove once.
Our EV chargers can detect a broken neutral or earth and disconnect btw
Every day we stray further from his light
little 5' red headed women standing on the CENTER of the gas stove, leaving it forever dished
What the shit
why? to clean the top of the fridge, that she was far too short to EVER SEE
I was soooo tempted to turn the burners on when she refused to GET DOWN.
A step stool?
Lol
Have people never heard of step stools???
@Rad What do you think she used to get onto the stove.
That’s also unhygienic
(SHE WAS THAT SHORT)
Oh for fucks sake
thankfully she didn't break any gas lines in the stove (that I know of) cause I was too damn poor to even get it inspected
Marry you a tall spouse who doesn’t need to climb on shit to clean
but like.. couldn't even step on the EDGE of the stove, yaknow where it might support 150lbs
no, in the dead center
Glass?
Common sense is not common
@Rad Sheet metal. but she dented it badly
it even had rolled edges, so if you did stand on the edge it prob would have supported 500lbs
I’ve put my entire weight on a sheet metal roof with no underlayment. And didn’t damage it
I say again.. she DENTED A GAS APPLIENCE WE NEEDED TO LIVE BADLY.
How? Weight distribution
Oh if you think that's bad
In my last apartment
I shared a breaker panel with two other apartments
I don’t think I can rent ever again…
I make slightly less than $24k a year before taxes
Cause no matter how big the owner/manager of the apartment. Shit was always jacked
Ugh
I couldn't own a home if I wanted to
Yeaa... I know the feeling.
in like. 8th grade they gave us a pamphlet thingy with how much you make at a job, how much houses cost, how much mortgages cost, etc etc etc.
Ah dang. Yeah I was there once
it told me id be renting forever and never owning a new car.
And any home I could own would be in such poor condition that it's not work it
I own a 20 year old car.
was pretty much right! only the situation has gotten 5x as hopeless as housing prices are now 5x more FOR THE SAME 1960's HOUSE
Ugh
My car was 20 years old when I bought it.
Get a degree they said
Makes lots of money they said
What degree?
My trucks tires could have gotten a drivers lisence they where so old
Own a house a car and have a wife and kids
Computer maintenance
Ahhhh
Yes I was young and dumb
@Rad LOL as if we can afford any one of those 3 items.
I dropped out
Ok first
I don't need no woman
Second
Fuck having kids
I can't even afford to date to get a g/f, so screw that noise.
No way I could afford kids
I've known that since I was seven
No that's not hyperbole
I've always hated the idea of raising kids
lol at all the rich/old people blaming this generation for not wanting kids and gonna be nobody to take care of them.. Geee, I wonder why Karen, maybe its because you own 5 homes and rent 3 of them out at 3000/month?
Back when i was first out of college i was just making ends meet. Then I met my S/O and one date put me so far in the red for the month.
Most of the apartments here are $425 to $750 for SRO
And yes they are as shit as you think
@Melez yea. And before someone says "you don't have to pay for her! equality!" "I don't have money to pay for my OWN dinner either, A&W's is too damn expensive for me these days"
And then I got a knee injury I couldn’t afford to take care of so instead of biking to work, I had to get a $120/mo train pass and.. oof suddenly I was $120/mo over budget. It was like 6 months until I rolled over my first credit card balance
Going out would be me taking her to my job after work just so I could use my 50% off discount
RBC calls me 2~3 times a day asking when I am gonna set up a payment plan for the $35,000 I owe them
https://tenor.com/view/no-randy-jackson-dawg-gif-12730917
Im like, if I couldn't pay the $300 min payment, that was going to take.. 270 years according to my bank statement to pay it off, how the $#@% is a payment plan going to work?
Lol. Yeah no, I almost got broken up with about going Dutch on dates until I explained that I was broke AF. Strangely being broke AF was better than being cheap
My coworkers are assholes that'll give me shit
I make OK money now… I’m just 10 years into an underpaid career
And I still owe student loans lol
@Melez I will cook her ass dinner, but apparently thats not an option or something, you gotta go to some expensive ass neutral restraunt first? or a movie that also somehow costs $50 after a 10L small pop and 40,000 calories worth of popcorn?
