Kovacs not going down without a fight

Is anyone surprised the Bela Kovacs isn't going quietly? He's still trying to claim Allyson Knapp isn't a resident of Idaho, despite being proven wrong in January.

Why are the republicans always accusing others of the things they've done? Did they already forget about KCRCC "rated and vetted" NIC trustee Michael Barnes, who was claiming residency in South Dakota for "tax reasons"? Or that KCRCC either didn't know or forgot to mention Kovacs had the same performance issues when he was in Spokane?

New HOM Panel with Crooked Stabs

Has the quality of Square D HOM panels gone down? I grabbed this HOM20240M100PCVP panel to install and all of the stabs on the left bus bar are crooked. Not bent up or down. The flat back of the bar is literally crooked. https://imgur.com/a/Bcu5alV Would you install this or return it?

KCRCC Money Shuffle

Anyone else see the CDA Press article about the KCRCC is donating their cash reserves to the Idaho GOP? It's no coincidence that this is happening right before the hardliner precinctmen get the boot. I'm betting the money gets funneled to the Idaho Freedom Foundation or Idaho GOP rules committee, which Brent Regan still controls.

Election Results

Just when I think people are coming to their senses and voted Brent Regan out as a Precinct Committeeman,I see Bela Kovacs still got 1/3rd of the vote.

I'm not a huge fan of Christa Hazel, but I would have preferred her over Elaine Price.

Lumens per square foot?

I'm looking to light a 30x40 shop with 16 ft ceilings and looking for a recommendation. I plan on doing car repairs and basic storage. I can't decide on how many lumens/sq foot or between the Barrina T5 and T8 LED lights. I'm thinking the T5 would be better for such high ceilings and leaning towards 100 lumens/sq foot. I could also use more lights and do two switches so I can just do one set for basic lighting and a second set for extra bright.

MHF allowed inside in conduit

I'm having an disagreement with an inspector. I ran https://nassaunationalcable.com/products/2-2-2-4-aluminum-mobile-home-feeder-cable to a shop. It runs about 30-ft in conduit from the main panel in the garage, underground in conduit to a shop where it comes up inside the wall to the panel.

The cable is triple-rated with USE-2/RHH/RHW-2 markings.

He's claiming 2023 code, 338.12b prohibits it being indoors in conduit. I believe he is wrong because 310.4 only refers to section 338 for USE - not triple rated USE-2/RHH/RHW.
