I’ve got a 48amp outdoor rated charger with a 60amp breaker on my outdoor panel ready to go. It will be mounted and directly wired within 2’-3’ of the panel.

Does it matter if it’s in a box if mounted against the house and under the drip line? I had one electrician do a quote and insisted it have an enclosure no matter where it was installed, others did not even mention it.

I love the work I do, but I have many other interests at home that I put time into. I’ve got several other friends who are hobbiest that put my setup to shame.

After spending a week doing designs, engineering installation specs, and assisting with install programming or testing; I just would rather invest my time and money at home elsewhere.

I’ve got a decent sound system in my basement and living room control system. But other than rescuing EOL odds and ends from other’s upgrades or spare equipment from trainings to integrate, I’m not going after a huge setup or investment.

I've spent close to 20 years in various higher-ed AV/IT and working on IST teams, including earning Master's credentials in IST. Last year I tried getting into ID type work, but was viewed as too IT oriented and they wanted people with direct teaching experience. Instead I went into private AV systems design which has been a great change in opportunity, learning, and compensation.

Recently in my new role I performed some consulting with a private training organization on a hybrid learning classroom system. This experience made me miss working one-on-one with instructors and collaborating to improve learning experiences both in classrooms and remote with a combination.

Does anyone think th

Entering my third week of ownership and while taking an extended road trip there have been numerous occasions to hangout by the chargers and meet people, or random shopping trips.

While stuck there for 20-30 minutes, I have enjoyed the opportunity to chat with other people about their ownership experiences or sharing knowledge about operating chargers. I'm curious if there are any fun stories from meeting others at charging stations. I've already recommended one of my single friends buy an EV to meet like minded individuals.

Almost a month ago I purchased and setup a Biogents system. I ordered the CO2 kit with plans to hook up my old kegerator tank, but have yet to install it.

While looking for the Biogents CO2 timer on Amazon, I have come across CO2 generating tanks used for aquariums and hydroponics. It makes me wonder if these would work instead and as efficiently, rather than needing to move tanks around and regularly getting refill swaps.

Given there seems to be a Biogents following on this sub, I'm curious if anyone has thoughts or tried something similar?

I was in school during the mid-00’s IT crash, got an AS in Networking Tech, then a BA In Computer Info Systems Mgmt, but could never land a solid IT job. I hung around the Higher Ed world for most of my career doing a variety of helpdesk, systems admin for AV systems, worked as a hardware engineer for an AV startup, then did project coordination for AV system installations. Now I’m in low voltage systems design with my CTS and a host of AV/physical security system credentials. I enjoy the work and mix of functionality, but the AV world doesn’t seem to have as many places to go at a higher level as far as equivalent roles in IT. While it seems that numerous areas of IT are struggling to fill

Last year I joined a German festival band and picked up an instrument for the first time in 18 years, since high school. Yup, lederhosen and the whole kit.

I stated off on a loaner Bb and eventually bought my own tiny Eb to have my own and learn a new key. Last week I was able to trade the Bb for the sousaphone (guy is a collector) and sweet baby Jesus I’ve been transferred back in time. Walking and playing goofy licks, rocking the bell back and forth, etc. but now I get free beer too!

TLDR; Reconnecting with music/sousaphone entertainment and free beer is fun.

For a daily in town vehicle, I prefer the 1.9. I may sound broken, but the 2.8 felt more like a highway weekend cruiser than something for a zip around downtown vehicle. The 1.9 had lighter steering and shifting, faster rev, easier to get to speed other than on the highway.

Both variants need a 6th gear and short shifter terribly.

After about 20 years of various IT work within the education field and completing a graduate certificate in IST I’m looking to enter the field.

I recently had an interview at an organization where the ID team were previous teachers and didn’t seem to have any recent ID training or structure implemented into their process.

As someone looking to start in the field should I be wanting to jump right in to help get their programs sorted out, or keep looking for a team that is better organized and to learn to use my education before running with it?

Has virtual interviewing made employers lazy?

I feel like expectations have always been high for potential employees to be on time, dress appropriately, and extend all courtesy to potential employers. I have recently started looking for work, performed several virtual interviews, and the lack of professionalism from a couple of the interviewers has me flabbergasted.

If you have these expectations of me, yet connect five minutes late, in a t-shirt, and ask boring superficial questions while barely answering my questions about the role, then cut things short; why should I try to sell myself to you?
