"most allegedly haunted houses turn out to have gas leaks!"
no they don't. you are merely skimming the surface of mundane shit that can be wrong with old houses with your one puny little explanation that only fits a very small number of cases. try harder
#ghosts#hauntings#paranormal#like dude I'm a believer but I work in house museums and live in a place where 1930 is NEW for an apartment building#weird pressure differentials! animals trapped in the walls! bad window and door seals causing drafts! expanding and contracting wood!#to say NOTHING of the wiring Shenanigans. oh boy are they many.#GET CREATIVE WITH IT!

Unleashing the Power of Building Wire: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction:
Building wire is an essential component of any electrical system, playing a vital role in powering residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Whether you're constructing a new structure or upgrading an existing one, understanding the significance of building wire is crucial. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the world of building wire and its importance in ensuring safe and reliable electrical installations.
What is Building Wire?
Building wire, also known as electrical wire or cable, refers to the conductive material that transmits electricity throughout a building. It is responsible for delivering power to lighting, outlets, appliances, and other electrical components. Building wire consists of one or more conductive cores, typically made of copper or aluminum, surrounded by insulation material to protect against electrical hazards.
Importance of Quality Building Wire:
Using high-quality building wire is essential to maintain the safety and efficiency of electrical systems. Inferior or substandard wiring can lead to various problems, including voltage drops, overheating, short circuits, and even electrical fires. By investing in quality building wire, you can ensure reliable power distribution, minimize electrical risks, and comply with electrical codes and regulations.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Building Wire:
a. Wire Gauge: The wire gauge determines the diameter of the wire and its capacity to handle current. Different applications require wires with specific gauge sizes to accommodate the load. It is crucial to select the appropriate gauge to prevent overloading and potential hazards.
b. Insulation Material: Building wire is available with various insulation materials, such as PVC, XLPE, or THHN. Each insulation type has unique properties suitable for specific environments and applications. Consider factors like temperature resistance, moisture resistance, and flexibility when selecting the insulation material.
c. Voltage Rating: The voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage the wire can handle safely. It is important to choose building wire with a voltage rating that matches the electrical system's requirements to prevent electrical breakdown or damage.
d. Environmental Considerations: Depending on the installation location, you may need to consider additional factors like sunlight resistance, chemical resistance, or fire resistance. Specialized building wire options are available to meet these specific requirements.
Types of Building Wire:
a. Single-Core Building Wire: Single-core building wire consists of a single conductive core insulated with an appropriate material. It is commonly used for general-purpose applications, including power distribution, lighting, and branch circuits.
b. Multi-Core Building Wire: Multi-core building wire consists of multiple conductive cores, each individually insulated and bundled together. This type of wire is suitable for applications requiring multiple circuits or installations where separate power lines are needed.
Installation and Maintenance:
a. Professional Installation: To ensure proper installation, it is advisable to hire a licensed electrician who has expertise in handling building wire. They will ensure compliance with electrical codes, secure connections, and minimize potential hazards.
b. Regular Maintenance: Periodic inspections and maintenance are essential to identify and rectify any issues with the building wire. This includes checking for damaged insulation, loose connections, or signs of wear and tear. Prompt repairs or replacements can prevent electrical problems and ensure the longevity of the electrical system.
Conclusion:
Building wire forms the backbone of electrical systems, delivering power safely and efficiently to every corner of a building. Choosing high-quality building wire and following proper installation and maintenance practices are critical to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical installations. By understanding the different aspects of building wire, from selection criteria to installation considerations, you can make informed decisions and create a secure and efficient electrical infrastructure.
Remember, when it comes to building wire, prioritizing quality is non-negotiable. So, invest wisely, prioritize safety, and empower your electrical systems with the strength and dependability of high-quality building wire.

little detail I've picked up on: lucanis seems to like it when rook is smart. not in an academically minded way, necessarily, but when they're clever/analytical and clear-eyed about the practical realities of a matter and able to sort out the bullshit. most immediate example that comes to mind is of course when rook points out to illario that zara physically can't have made it back to vyrantium yet by conventional means in the café scene (where they're also backing what lucanis is trying to say, so the approval there makes extra sense), but it pops up in several other places too where rook cuts through to the heart of a problem with that kind of thinking. his and davrin's approval often overlap, but davrin seems to like it when rook is resolute and practical (and kind but don't tell anyone that sssh <3 ilu davrin), where I get the sense that lucanis gets that extra little thrill when they're also clever. in another contrast emmrich likes it when you're curious and openminded and kind (a lot like solas in da:i really) -- more like a life-long earnest academic *would* think about and value learning and knowledge in terms of a process and way of thinking rather than the results that come out of it -- while i think lucanis kind of likes it (and possibly gets a little ah frisson out of it depending on your relationship with him lol) when your mind is a knife. which I think is really neat. also tracks perfectly with him liking both viago and neve too haha. he clearly enjoys the Thinkers of the world.
#lucanis whenever rye's stark sharp analytical Watcher eyes break through the just a little guy-ness: ah too late#something has already been Awakened in me there's no turning back now. oh well :> ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#rook x lucanis#rookanis#you know what I actually really like in this game that is such a little thing? rook can reach the wrong conclusions in dialogue#really quite frequently. another lucanis quest example but you can have your rook reach the conclusion that maybe zara is lying#even though all available evidence is sort of building up under what she says. rook is allowed to be wrong and/or just not wired that way!#they have a whole team behind them to make up for the places they may fall short (whether in people skills or critical thinking or whatever#small flavours in characterization that does a lot if you actually engage with them

While Clark doesn't like cars or use them much, he knows a lot about engines and mechanics from growing up on a farm and occasionally warns Bruce about technical problems he can see or hear in the Batmobile. They definitely bond over these shared interests as Clark is pretty knowledgeable about most things because he has an immediate grasp about how they work and are built. Bruce is fascinated enough to have the same grasp of things and problem-solves intuitively enough that it probably feels like they share the same way of perceiving the world.
#(so it's like they can both see things that way)#I feel like Clark's brilliance and technical know how is sorely underexplored#yeah he can break most devices in half but I also imagine he's got a pretty good grasp of electrical wiring or the make up of weapons#or tools#Bruce probably really loves that about him considering how obsessive he is and how much he'd want to talk about the things he builds#batmobile#batman#dc comics#superman#clark kent#superbat

bugthinker but I just did whatever to him
bonus slop
#clemart#this hardly qualifies as toontown anymore#toontown corporate clash#ttcc#prethinker#brian ttcc#sorry the text is really small again i got carried away with notes#i have like 3 doodles where i just do whatever to his build for fun. this is the only one ive posted#personally speaking i think doing a build that plays more into the nervous-system (brain) aspect would probably be a bit more fitting#i dont have any ideas on how to do that right now other than just making him wires. which im not opposed to.#i need to send him through horrific experiments and see what it turns him into#color placements could be better but i did this without any other references other than a real life centipede so oh well#looking at this after i finished i realized it looks like his body is clumped together... its supposed to be wrapped around each other#screw ym stupid baka life#i think i once saw someone mention centipede brian. if they are out there... this is partially inspired by that#the other inspiration is just that i think the idea of characters being able to wrap around themself is cool

it never slips my mind that kaycee died young but it took me a bit to register that her manner of death is one of the most unimaginably painful ones to go through. oh well if homegirl was lucky she passed out from the smoke before she could feel her skin peel off 😁🤞
#i know her death is prooobably an assassination? given what she knew and her being the only casualty#even though risking burning down your whole building seems excessive..#but i like the thought it was purely tragic cosmic joke on her HAH#like god has it out for her. girl just die#'the exact circumstances of her death are unknown''#i dont know if that statement is regarding what killed her specifically or what started the fire or both#i know theres something about faulty wiring but we know gamefuna would just lie lol#do you think EMTs got there before she was taken by complications? or was she olone when the light left her eyes.#did the defibrillator fail?#kaycee hobbes

got distracted during the new workplace tour by looking at all the wires and seeing a flier for an anatomical study thing out of the corner of my eye. likely courtney behavior
#personal#when theres wires in the technology dept building 😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯#its soooo beautiful. gotta take some pics for wire inspo#cant remember what the second thing was for but it sounded interesting#also for the real ones who saw my morning post: my fire alarm was fixed thank gawwwd

this is an advance warning: when i disappear for a week starting on the 15th, i am in fact alive and you should not call a wellness check
#i want to build a Make Anything Machine by the end of the month#i almost got there in the first game but painted myself into a corner with wiring hell#and this new one has multiple layers for wiring and construction. so.
