Youtube comments of Ted Sanders (@surferdude642).

  1. Mr. Cohen was absolutely correct in his commentary on Anderson's response and Anderson was sensible for the most part, but "staying in your silo ..." was offensive and unacceptable. This is not a case of listening to another viewpoint that I may not agree with, but rather one of an ignorant, lying, con man preaching to a gullible audience who have been suckered by his drivel and lies. My recommendation to Anderson Cooper is that if he or any of his colleagues are put in this position again, they should resign if they consider themselves honest reporters.

  2. This is what we get when we elect a President who had to pay someone to take college entrance exams for him because he was to ignorant to pass.
    81
  3. Pretty? That's a stretch.
    51
  4. There's a saying "there is no such thing as a dumb question". Obviously, there's an exception here.
    42
  5.  @alizakessler  That may be, but it's not obvious. It's simply poor taste.
    28
  6. It was a good statement from Cheney, but clearly it landed on deaf ears, however their children and grandchildren will be the ones who suffer the stigma of their for fathers cowardice and dishonor.
    27
  7. The trouble is that most of the Republicans in Congress feel the same way.
    27
  8. I think you did a good job explaining this. While it's common knowledge to electricians and savvy diy'ers, most homeowners could learn something here.
    25
  9.  @xxBLKSNXxx  That's not the problem. There are many people in all lines of work including political, that are valuable after 65. Then there are dangerous people like MTG, Boebert, and others that are young enough but clearly unqualified.
    22
  10. Sounds like extortion to protect the extortionist himself.
    21
  11. The hipocracy from Hawley and Republicans in general is something we are totally familiar with by now. They don't want to hear the truth now or in Trump's previous impeachments.
    18
  12. I'd be nervous I were her, the sentence could be increased based on factors related to the crime. People were injured, killed, and property damage was in excess of $30 million.
    18
  13. Why doesn't he cry in front of crooked judge Schroeder, see what happens?
    18
  14. He shouldn't be invited, it would be like having someone that just trashed your house show up at your birthday party.
    17
  15. Trump doesn't need any help to look bad.
    17
  16. Another sad thing is that Trump defrauded many people of modest means for decades as a private citizen and most of his supporters are similar, but don't realize, don't know, or don't care.
    16
  17. Vivek Ramaswamy, making no bones about it, said he would pardon Trump. That's all I need to know to disqualify him.
    16
  18. Those aren't speeches, their just 3rd grade level crybaby rants without substance. It never changes.
    14
  19. Who cares what Megyn Kelly says, she's just an angry Trumptard.
    14
  20. The only thing that Powell is proving is that she's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
    13
  21. "Trumpdoesntcare" Trump says we have it already, we just didn't know it's title until now
    12
  22.  @kevinbrooks9074  Apparently, not many in Congress where it would count for something.
    11
  23. He is, but they are all that way, Graham, Sununu, Mike Johnson, McConnell, and list goes on counting all these discusting cowards.
    10
  24. Trump only refers to smart people as "nasty", so clearly, MTG doesn't qualify.
    10
  25. The Trump family comes from a line of draft dodgers while the John McCain family served their country with honor. The GOP used to have some credibility, now it's dead, left only with Trump enabling weasles.
    10
  26. Hey Lindsey, instead of going on faux news, why not go on CNN and present your case to Chris Coumo or Brianna Kieler, I'd love to see that one. You may have to defend yourself instead of preaching to the choir. I know, Lindsey, they'd rip you to shreds.
    10
  27. Yes, and here in California, the Elder supporters falsely claim that Newsom is a dictator because he wants to eradicate covid by mandating masks and vaccines, but are fine with Abbott who wants to impose unconstitional restrictions on people's rights and freedoms and install draconian punishment for violators. Then he wants a vigilante society. Holy cow, who do you think the Dictator is here? It's insane.
    10
  28. When Mary Trump, who knows uncle Donald for her entire life says that "he is the worlds most dangerous man" it's clearly no exaggeration.
    10
  29. ​ @texan176 As bad as it sounds, the defendant deserves another trial. Generally, it's not permitted to consider previous crimes or misdeeds. The judge should have made that clear. Another thing is that jurors cannot break into separate groups, all 12 must deliberate together.
    9
  30. Trump is not only the most corrupt President in US history, but he's also the laziest.
    9
  31. Trump's idea of negotiation is blackmail and extortion.
    9
  32. Trump called MTG "the future of the Republican Party." It looks like future is here, there are so many morons, where do you start. Their goal must be to make America the dumbest and most ignorant county in the world.
    9
  33. Mary Trump, Donalds niece who has a master's and PhD in clinical psychology has diagnosed uncle Donald with narcissistic personality disorder. That diagnosis seems obvious, but what not so obvious is that there is no cure and it just gets worse.
    8
  34. ​ @Leo-dd7om  So you prefer Trump's gibberish? Just trying to get your point.
    8
  35. I wouldn't listen to Carville, didn't he say don't worry, Kamala Harris would win the 2024 election?
    8
  36. In her book, Mary Trump called uncle Donald the world's most dangerous man, and that was 6 months ago.
    8
  37. If just about any Republican is stupid enough to say "I want the truth" you'd have to ask why? You've never wanted it in the last 5 years.
    8
  38. Jeb should disown him as a son and exclude him from any future support and inheritance.
    8
  39. I was waiting for Trump to come up with his usual reply to legitimate questions: "that's a nasty question, you should be ashamed". It must have killing him to hold that back.
    8
  40. He wouldn't have been able to get away with his garbage if Pete Buttigiege was invited to the interview.
    8
  41. Tucker Carlson talking that America is a democracy yet he supports the Dictator Trump and all his dictator enablers in the GOP. Makes absolutely no sense. Tucker Carlson is an idiot.
    8
  42. It was a shame and predictably all for naught to listen to Democrats grilling Hegseth and others when it just lands on deaf ears with the Republicans. The Republicans should take a pay cut to the minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, they are just worthless order takers. Whatever Trump says, they must agree, or else.
    7
  43. Trump gets up there from time to time and brags about how intelligent he is. The problem is that truly intelligent people don't need to do that because it's obvious.
    7
  44. Ted Cruz raises his ugliness again. I've always considered Cruz a despicable individual ever since he (tea party) shut down the government during the Obama administration. His lack of protecting his family from insults by Trump is another bad trait. What Trump said and lied is unforgivable, yet Cruz has apparently forgiven him.
    7
  45. Mike Pence said "it would be largely gone by Memorial Day". That was early May of 2020.
    7
  46. As Trump would say "I love the uneducated" and now we have MTG, who Trump called a "rising star in the GOP". It all makes so much sense.
    7
  47. ​ @stephenwex5218  By what accounts, yours? No rebuttal, says who? Provide proof that your comment isn't just nonsensical drivel.
    6
  48. It's not possible for MTG, Boebert, and Gaetz to have an intelligible conversation.
    6
  49. I like your reporting, but please refrain from misleading titles. Trump supporting channels do that because they have no choice. Lying and dispensing misinformation is their only path. You are not restricted to a low bar of credibility.
    6
  50. Mike Johnson, Mike Pence, what's the difference?
    6
  51. To call Manchin a moderate Democrat is absurd, he more like a conservative Republican. The people of West Virginia should drop him like a hot potato next election.
    6
  52. Gaetz's fiance to Gaetz if she has any sense: f**k off, I'm outa here!
    6
  53. I would delete the word "lately"
    6
  54. There are a lot of dimwitted, gullible people in the world, unfortunately most of them live in America. That's why scumbags like Scalise, Graham, lying Ted who has taken that to a new level, and others even have a job.
    6
  55. I'm not a Harley rider, but I can understand their complaints about the media coverage. When there's apparently no issue fans sitting side by side at baseball games at major cities at the same and all summer long with often no masks in sight, then what gives? And that's just one example.
    6
  56. Un American, Carl? How do you feel about how most of GOP supporting the wannabe dictator, Trump? That seems un American to me.
    6
  57. Mike Piazza? You should stick to calling pitches. You just commited a passed ball in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th against the Giants with a man on 3rd! Game over.
    5
  58. And Boebert should wear a full face motorcycle helmet to protect her brain. Oh, there's nothing in there to protect, my bad.
    5
  59. This could be normal in GFCI receptacle or regular receptacle as well. Plugging in a tool or appliance with the power off (tool or appliance) will prevent this problem. If the receptacle is old and/or not gripping the cord very well, you should change it. Check the plug condition also.
    5
  60. I vote for Pence as the leader of the Trump's spineless ass kissers.
    5
  61.  @swingtriple  Yes, U.S. Navy, Vietnam war.
    5
  62. As a Veteran myself, I find it appalling that many Veterans voted for this.
    5
  63. The first guy says "I think she's man" probably thinks "male" has something to do with the postal service.
    5
  64. ​ @SUKADIK1 fake indictments? Because you're gullible enough to believe it. Where's your evidence?
    5
  65. Me too, had to fast forward to Mr. Cohen, I understand English not jibberish
    5
  66. President Trump, Lindsey? He's NOT President. Pathetic GOP must listen to the lunatic, felon who is not working.
    5
  67. These threats by the GOP are clearly an admittion of guilt, it's tantamount to threatening a witness in a criminal case.
    5
  68. Did you notice that none of the other dad's saw the need to chaperone.
    4
  69. And what has he done or will do for them Natilie, I've wondered for some time now?
    4
  70. The look on Carlson's face, a scumbag in his own right, screams "he's such a f**kn idiot, no wonder why I hate him passionately".
    4
  71.  @jchacon9362  the GOP hates free and fair elections. It would require them to stand for something rather than stand for corruption and lies.
    4
  72. That's the same question you could legitimately ask most of the GOP.
    4
  73.  @lunafringe10  But, many of his enablers still are.
    4
  74.  @grantsmythe8625  Better yet, he could have called Liz
    4
  75. I think Lindsey got his college degree from Trump University. That may explain his behavior.
    4
  76. GOP Congressmen like Sununu here, that currently don't support Trump take this stance because of recent history of losses as if the only issue was ineptitude, inexperience, or some benign reasons. Otherwise they would be fine with him. Nevermind the fact that he is under several criminal investigations, solicitation of election fraud, hush money payments, his Trump organization was convicted of fraud, and found liable for sexual abuse and defamation. None of this is of any concern to them, they are as disgusting as Trump himself.
    4
  77. I totally agree. That reporter got his credentials from Trump University, I would assume.
    4
  78. "I don't even know what an assault weapon is" This man needs to enlist in the Army or Marines ASAP. They'll teach him so there's no doubt.
    4
  79. Can't argue with that view.
    4
  80.  @crc213  The population of South Dakota is 900,000. The population of New York city is 8.4 million and is densely populated. Your comparison is rediculous.
    4
  81.  @wendyhardin5259  You're correct, I'm a native Californian and I have NEVER heard California called Cali. I've heard people refer to San Francisco as Frisco which is offensive to some Bay Area residents. Ironically Frisco is a city in Texas.
    4
  82. There is some talk that Trump may run again in 2024. Pardoning himself seems like absurd notion, he could get pardoned by Pence though. If that happens, it is an admission of guilt of crimes against the US, but would still be able to hold a public office and therefore making any future run for President possible. Seems wierd. However, he will also be facing criminal charges all over the country particularly in New York City for alleged crimes commited before he was President. The next few years will tell the story.
    4
  83. Chris Christie and Nikki Haley were the only ones who made some sense. Asa Hutchinson was not terrible, but the rest were trash. Vivek Ramaswamy is pure evil.
    4
  84. Rule of thumb for 50 years is do not associate yourself with Trump in any way, regardless if you're a lawyer or not. No exceptions.
    4
  85. Trump says that it's all made up and "I never met the woman" then says "we met at the door" "we had good chemistry" and on and on. WTF! Trump is a lying lunatic, it's undeniable. The Trump sycophants were laughing like it's some comedy show. I'd like to see their reaction if it was their wife, girlfriend, or daughter that was the victim.
    3
  86. "And to those who broke the law, you will pay" after he incited them to do this. Now he is throwing his base under the bus. Typical Trump MO. And btw Trump, you broke the law, shouldn't you pay for once?
    3
  87. What kind of clickbait crap is this. It's August 2023 and Judge Cannon is still presiding in this case from what I can tell.
    3
  88. If MTG can yell "liar" from the audience during a Biden speech, without repercussions, then the same thing should apply here.
    3
  89. ​ @Ann-st8et  I think it's higher than that, but many of those people don't care or don't know that.
    3
  90.  @chrispontello9949  Agreed. It looks like Garland has the experience and education to be qualified for his position, but Supreme Court Justice would be a better fit for his skill level it seems. Looks like Biden tried to make up his supreme court snubbing by McConnell and apointed him AG. Big mistake. Garland is like a journeyman quarterback, when we need an Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady.
    3
  91. Lyin sleepy Ted is probably dreaming about going back to Cancun.
    3
  92. @Jenny Klenke That's where NY A.G. Cy Vance comes in. He's probably already working on his prosecution. Trump's legal team? Desperate lawyers.
    3
  93.  @chuckfinley4757  wake up Kerri, the virus extremely contagious and you don't have the right, even unintentionally, to make others sick or die. Try going to work with a bad cold even, and you'll piss off a lot of coworkers.
    3
  94. That's pretty typical of most of the GOP. They learned for from their favorite scoundrel, dictator Donald.
    3
  95. Decorum! F..k that!!
    3
  96. It must be pretty embarrassing when she is introduced as the wife of Ted Cruz.

  97. Gainfully employed, respected, no criminal history? Not anymore to all of the above. What's more, he has no clue to what not having freedom means. Now he is in line to find out.
    3
  98. I like the way you show the rotating magnets in relationship to the sine wave. If you stop the video at peak voltage and 0 volts and notice the position of the magnet it helps in understanding this important point. The plus or minus in AC is directional flow?
    3
  99. To think that the Republicans could do a better job at helping the homeless, that is a joke. They normally oppose any social programs in this regard. If they were serious, they could have donated the $276 million of taxpayer money to the homeless problem, instead of wasting it on this stupid recall.
    3
  100. Biden has to remain President elect until Jan 20th when he is sworn in. If Trump resigns, which is doubtful, Pence will be President for the remaining days. Trump doesn't have to concede, but must leave by Jan 20th, he has basically been fired. The government will remove him if he refuses to leave.
    3
  101. They don't deserve to be anywhere near the American flag, they certainly don't show any allegiance to it. Their allegiance is to Trump and closer to the Russian flag.
    3
  102.  @hamfistsman6267  The only Republicans that aren't shady are Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
    3
  103. Why was Ted Cruz a candidate in 2016? He was born in Canada, but he is considered a natural born citizen because his mother was born here.
    3
  104. Harvard? It's probably a lie. I think she really went to Trump University where they teach 3 topics, cheating, lying, and corruption. Then they charge you for it and call it an education.
    3
  105. ​ @SleepyUncleSam No, he doesn't share most democratic values, he's more like a pre Trump Republican. The current Republican Party is an Autocratic party and he's basically a fish out of water here.

  106. Do asphalt roads give better traction than concrete?

  107. I like motorcycle trips going through places like Legget, Mad River, Hayfork, Weaverville, Burnt Ranch, Willow Creek, Happy Camp, Etna, Yreka, Cecilville.

  113. She graduated from Law school in 1989 and failed her bar exam (very common) on her first try, but she passed on the second one in 1990. She couldn't become Attorney General without passing the bar exam. Unfortunately, a convicted felon can become President. Makes no sense.

  114. I get it, but CNN is infuriating when you listen to Scott Jennings and David Urban who defend Trump no matter what.

  115. What is the definition of undecided voters in 2020? Answer: A completely clueless individual.
    2
  116. The ground wire, equipment ground, must not carry current under normal operation as it's an open line only connected electrically to neutral/ground bus bar in the main panel. Its purpose is to trip the breaker in the event of a ground fault. Otherwise it's a shock hazard.
    2
  117. Bill Barr says that the government is being jerked around. Yeah, he auta know as he acted like Trump's lawyer instead of the AJ he was supposed to be. He should also be investigated IMO.
    2
  118. My bet is that Trump's lead will grow among Republicans after this debate
    2
  119. True enough, but the GOP would have to be reduced to rubble for that to occur.

  120. Amy let us know that she's no Nancy Peloci.
    2
  121. Imagine if a candidate(s) says "I know you like Trump, I like him too" as S.E. Cupp suggested, I would turn off the TV and leave. They should attack his behavior and alleged crimes relentlessly, they're not getting anywhere by walking on egg shells, so there's nothing to lose.
    2
  122. If you're a convicted felon, you are disqualified from federal government employment, no matter what the job is, but apparently you can be President. How does that work?
    2
  123. Trump may be chronologically old, but he's also a deranged child.
    2
  124. ​ @patriciamantooth2638  One of his early mandates was to get rid of Obamacare, we have a better plan, it will be out in 2 weeks. Three years later "it will be out in 2 weeks". It finally blew up in flames when he was grilled on the subject during a 60 minutes interview and he walked out. He then had Keighley McEnenany toss a binder at the interviewer and said here it is. Turns out that it was a bunch of paper full of unrelated nonsense. As for Covid, he said he didn't want people to panic, another lie. His handling of this virus was a complete disaster and ignored science. Him and Pence thought they could wish it away. Fauci and science community came up with vaccinations, not because of Trump, but inspite of him.

  127. This is nothing new and not significant, they're all ex politicians. I'm looking for a large number of current Republican politicians to speak up and do something, but so far that's not happening. The current GOP doesn't give a whit what these people say, traitors, all of them, and should be impeached because they violated their oath long ago.
    2
  128. Crazy Rand Paul again? His comparison to vaccination and mask mandates to eating a hamburger is so absurd that a 3rd grader would get laught out of class for such a comparison. I wouldn't trust Paul to do eye surgery on a sewer rat, he's a quack and nothing more.
    2
  129. Every time I hear Kellyanne I think of Keileigh McEnany and vice versa. Their drivel is indistinguishable. Kellyanne lost any sense of credibility with the "alternative facts" garbage essentially admitting lies.
    2
  130. Another Republican bails when the going gets tough. Instead of fighting for what you believe in, just quit and then complain when you can't do anything about it. Kinzinger also, but at least he'll be busy for a while. That leaves only one true American Republican, Liz Cheney. She is held in high regard by liberals for having guts. True enough, but my goodness, the bar is low. You're a hero to some when you're doing your job to uphold the constitution.
    2
  131. Because the NRA has lobbied Republicans to provide no restrictions on gun purchases.
    2
  132. Trump said MTG is the future of the GOP. Enough said.
    2
  133. Yes, I believe they do. In fact I think they like it, because in their twisted logic they could claim proof that they're not really racist.
    2
  134.  @lindamcdaniel2419  You're confusing proof with evidence. The evidence is overwhelming, proof beyond a reasonable doubt, is what the trials are for. Indictments only require evidence, and they have plenty.
    2
  135. It is not common, but it has happened before. Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon after Watergate before he was convicted, is an example.
    2
  136. ​ @Gt92279 Some of it would, but maybe not enough to trip the breaker. In the meantime you'd have parallel paths of current and that's a shock hazard. This condition in electrical wiring is known as "objectionable current".

  137. Pelosi isn't blocking the infrastructure bill or voting rights bill like Manchin is, big difference.
    2
  138.  @alhanson7000  Totally agree, he's well aware of the threat the Trumplicans pose and hopefully he'll throw Manchin and Sinema in that group.
    2
  139. Good thing Manchin doesn't work in the private sector. You tell your boss "ah what's the hurry?" and you'll be shown the door.
    2
  140. I'd like to know who SinemaManchin voted for? Sounds like Trump to me.
    2
  141. It's a tactic used often by Fox hosts to interrupt rather than let the guest make their case. If they let the person finish they know that they won't have a legitimate answer. Most of Fox news hosts are just plain ignorant.

  142. And I hope that new A.G. Merrick Garland becomes a very busy man from day one. They all took an oath to protect the constitution and did not. They must pay.

  145. All of it is used, not really consumed when the lights are on.
    2
  146. No, because you're measuring the voltage (potential difference) between opposite poles. One is +120v and the other is -120v and 0v is the mid point (neutral). If you measured a point on one one of the bus bars and another point on the same bus bar, then you'd get 0v because there's no potential difference. As an analogy, say if you're at home and you had to drive somewhere. Your home is 5 miles from the interstate highway and your destination is 5 miles on the other side of the highway, total is 10 miles.
    2
  147. ​ @carollund8251 Brianna Keilar, I haven't seen her much either, they probably told her that she was too rough on the liars.
    2
  148. Exactly right. He's done that to her and others before and it's unacceptable, especially from this scumbag. CNN threw her under the bus on this one. Any verbal defense on her part would be totally appropriate, it's time for people to stand up to him, he deserves no respect.
    2
  149. If Pence was such a devout Christian and a man of integrity, he would have never accepted the depraved scoundrel Trump's invitation to be VP. He put his Political aspirations ahead of integrity and Trump has destroyed him, like he destroys every one else who gets involved with him. Pence has no chance of ever winning a Republican nomination.
    2
  150. Maybe she got her law degree the same way Rand Paul got his opthamology degree, self appointed.
    2
  151. Unfortunately, clickbait has become pervasive on yt, regardless of the subject matter.
    2
  152. ​ @thedrunksaiyan2227  If charges are brought against Trump, Garland, not Jack Smith will have to do that. He is the AJ and that's his responsibility. Jack Smith could recommend it, but it is Garland's decision to make. They better hurry up as an indictment is not a conviction and that will take even more time. If Trump is convicted of a felony, it is unlikely that he will be the Republican nominee, even with this GOP. If Trump is not convicted by election day, it would be the most dangerous time in American history. If Biden wins it would be a relief, but will the Trump investigation continue or will they give up as being too difficult to press on with? Who knows? If Trump wins, everyone involved will be fired and investigations will be terminated. That's my take and my fear.
    2
  153. I'm an American and you're right, it's embarrassing and shameful.

  154. She probably thought she would be interviewed by Maria Bartaromo

Bill Barr and the Trump enablers refused to accept it and remove Trump from office when the opportunity was there. Bill Barr removed potential incriminating evidence by redaction in the Mueller report and acted like Trump's lawyer instead of a legitimate AG. The second opportunity was the factual extortion by Trump of Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden, an offense of election interference. America hating democrats? Well if your vision for America is a fascist dictatorship and whatever Trump says goes, then that's your preference, but it's absolutely not mine. You may be right about Garland. As a Supreme Court Justice he would have still been in minority by 5 to 4, conservatives vs liberals. As the AG he has more authority and we'll see how that pans out

  192. There is a difference between a Wago style connection and a backstabbed connection. In the Wago or push in connector, the deflected spring metal is roughly parallel to the wire and the bus behind it. The tension is perpendicular or downward on the wire. Backstabbing is the opposite, the deflected spring is roughly perpendicular to the wire, and the tension is parallel to a large degree. Much of the tension is directed to the wire entry opening and not down on the wire. It makes a difference in contact effectiveness. The other thing is that the primary connection on receptacle is by using the screws, and backstabbing is quick selling point feature with minimal design effort. In the wago style the spring tension is the only option, so the reputation demands a well thought out design. The fact that backstabbing can on be used on 15 amp circuits, concedes it's limitations. Wago styles are acceptable for 20 amps and the larger Wago lever nut (221-6xx) are designed for 30 amps and 10 gauge wire.

Parallel paths refers to current traveling on both wires within this circuit. The grounding electrode is part of the external system and is known as the grounding electrode conductor (GEC). The EGC protects the system from internal or man made faults. The (GEC) protects the building from natural causes, mainly lightning as it attempts to direct the current to the ground which is the source of the lightning.

The Democrats need to take a page out of the Republican play book and they wouldn't need to break any laws doing it, just stand up to their man. The debate was a joke, as Tapper and Bash did nothing to hold Trump accountable for all the lies, making him sound reasonable to those who vote, but don't pay attention to politics, namely the undecided ones.

  295.  @igorivanov7232  I'm not sure where you live, I'm in the US where we have a 120v system by center tapping the secondary windings of a 240v coil and hence the return or neutral wire. 240v is commonly used for high power appliances by connecting to opposite poles and omitting the center tap. In this case there's no neutral wire and the return shifts with the frequency from one pole to the other. Both are hot wires. You may have a loose hot wire that is making contact with metal somewhere in your system. You should call a local electrician to fix it. Changing the receptacles may do it, but a grounding rod will not help. You'll need an equipment grounding conductor to provide a fault path from the equipment to complete the circuit and trip the breaker. A grounding rod is mainly used to direct external current, lightning strikes, to earth.

  323. In residential applications the transformer on the power pole supplies 240v when measured from opposite poles of the secondary windings. The 120v comes from the mid point (center tap) and is the origin of the neutral conductor. Both ends of the transformer secondary are used and this is determined by circuit breaker placement in the electrical panel. Because of the center tap and neutral wire, polarity is critical when wiring residential circuitry. There should be 0v on the neutral wires, but they are current carrying. The neutral wire is a dedicated return line and the hot wire is a power in line, but also can be a return line in certain cases. With 240v there's no neutral and the power and return alternate symmetrically. Some 240v plugs and receptacles will have a neutral wire for appliances that use both 240v and 120v.

  345. If you're running your heater at 1500 watts in a bedroom with a 15 amp circuit, you are already at the safe maximum load with no other load on the entire circuit. Heaters, unlike high power hair dryers, run for a long time and can stress a marginal circuit. It would be better to set it at 1000 watts and wear a coat. It would help if you had spec grade or even heavy duty receptacles throughout. These can still be 15 amp receptacles as 20 amp receptacles (not permitted on 15 amp circuit) offer no advantage even on a 20 amp circuit. For middle of the run receptacles, correctly installed wire nuts and pigtails instead of using the receptacle as a connector, can reduce resistance. However, the circuit breaker should trip regardless, if the load reaches 15 amps. If you have a 20 amp circuit (12 gauge wire) in the bedroom you should have no problem as long as the loads from other receptacles on this circuit are relatively low.

  346. My understanding is that the valence electrons in a copper wire which are not tightly held are moved back and forth between neighboring atoms throughout the entire wire length. They are moved by the constant magnetic attraction and repulsion in the power generator. This movement is enough to generate electricity even though DC is just one direction and one continuous voltage unless the resistance and/or current is changed.

  358.  @postmodern9208  On an engine in good condition, no or very little oil should be lost. The pistons contain oil control rings which sweep the oil into small holes in the piston groove and this drains back to the oil pan. The diesel fuel oil is not for lubrication, its a fuel that takes higher compression to ignite. The diesel lubricating oil is similar to regular engine oil, in fact diesel engine oil (not fuel) can be used for lubrication in gasoline cars and motorcycles in many cases. It's normally a heavier weight. For example 5w40 instead of 0w20. Your statement applies to 2 stroke engines where there are no mechanical valves, just ports that exposed by the movement of the piston. The oil level is maintained because it is continually recirculated similar to how the coolant is recirculated. If the piston rings, valve guides, and bearings are good and there are no leaks, you should lose very little oil.

  382. I don't think that it is. The point of the ground wire is to provide a low impedance path in case the hot wire contacts a grounded metal case. The neutral wire is not involved in this scenario. If the ground wire contacts say the neutral screw on a receptacle the return current will be shared between the neutral and ground and have parallel paths of return current which is also bad because of a potential shock hazard. If you have a GFCI receptacle in the circuit, it probably wouldn't reset or it would trip when you plugged something in and turned on the switch. The insulation or not has nothing to do with it.

  392. The term "line" is the power from the source. The term "load" can have a couple of different meanings, depending on the context.

  393. They're all copper wires. The ground wires are bare or sometimes green.
    1
  394. To your first question, it does sound correct, but I can't be 100% certain without seeing it. You may want to call an electrician to verify that. The answer to your second question is absolutely not. The neutral and ground connection must only be made at the first disconnect, usually that would be the main panel. Anywhere downstream, the neutral and ground must be separated and under normal operation, the ground wire must not carry any current and the neutral wire must carry all of the return current to the only ground/neutral bus in a 120 volt circuit. The one exception would be in a multi wire branch circuit, the neutral wire will carry only the unbalanced load and the rest would return on one of the hot wires. You can't carry current on both the neutral and ground because it would a parallel path and may not trip the breaker. It would be a shock hazard since all the metal components would be energized.
    1
  395.  @ShyRage1  You said that you added a ground bar to the sub. I don't get that, because your sub panel must already have a ground bar. Did you need a second one? The ground bar must be grounded to the panel frame, but the neutral bar must be isolated from the frame and the ground bus bar. You said previously that the main panel has a crossing bridge joining the two bus bars. Are ground and neutral wires sharing those bus bars or are they occupied by neutral wires only?
    1
  396.  @ShyRage1  So all the circuits in the sub panel are ungrounded then the receptacles should be 2 prong or replaced with a GFCI or multiple GFCI's for safety. If the ground and neutral share the bus bar in the main panel which is typical, it indicates that the equipment ground and neutral wires are not connected anywhere else if it's correctly wired. The white wire is connected to the ground at the meter box. The ground wire may also be connected to the ground rod. The ground wire in the meter box grounds the meter box housing. I think that different jurisdictions have different regulations on whether the grounding electrode system and ground rod is terminated from the main panel or the meter base. That's my understanding, and I hope this helps.
