Puli Mudi Load Banancing

My problem: I have two data SIMS in my Puli. One has a great per-gigabyte price and usually works great, but 5-10% of the time it throttles so badly that it takes over a minute to bring up Google or Wikipedia. The other SIM never throttles but costs 2X more per gigabyte. Alas, the first SIM never actually stops working, so it doesn't trigger a failover. So I switch them manually. Several times a day.

I am thinking of getting a GL-E750V2 MUDI ( https://store-us.gl-inet.com/products/mudi-v2-portable-4g-lte-router-travel-wifi-gl-e750v2 ) connecting it to my existing Puli AX GL-XE3000 Puli AX GL-XE3000 ( https://store-us.gl-inet.com/products/puli-ax-xe3000-wi-fi-6-5g-cellular-router-with-battery ) and using load balancing to get data from both.

Is this a workable plan? Can I get it to prioritize the cheaper SIM?

Would it be better to get a GL-E5800 Mudi 7 ( https://store-us.gl-inet.com/products/mudi-7-gl-e5800-5g-nr-tri-band-wi-fi-7-travel-router )? It's faster but I really don't need the speed. I just surf the web and watch an occasional 480P video on YouTube.

Choosing replacement fluid and wax

Is one brand better than the other?

I noticed that the springs are way different. Does it matter?

There are four subreddits with basically the same focus.

  • r/SPTV_Unvarnished/ -- 1.5k weekly visitors
  • r/OT42/ -- 1.4K weekly visitors
  • r/AaronSmithLevin/ -- 653 weekly visitors
  • r/SPTV_Grifters/ -- 281 weekly visitors

Is there some way to merge subreddits and reduce the fragmentation and duplication of effort?. Yes, I know about multireddits, but that seems to be more of a per-subscriber thing.

In general, the mods of each know each other and get along fairly well. There is a lot of crossposting between them. I am the top mod of the first. I haven't discussed this with anyone; I want to know what can be done before discussing what should be done with anyone else.

The obvious way would be to make the subreddit I control read-only or permission-to-post with a big pinned notice pointing everyone to a new home. But is that the best way?

BTW, I also get along great with the mods of r/scientology/ (50K weekly visitors), which considers SPTV content to be off topic and sometimes sends people who want to talk about it our way.

Some recording studios have 120VAC wired with 60VAC on hot and 60VAC (180 degrees out of phase) on "neutral" with the green earth ground wire at at 0V relative to earth. And no, they don't always tell the inspectors that they are going to do this. They wire it normally, wait until everything is approved, and then go back and wire in a special transformer to power the studio and redo the breaker box to have dual ganged breakers that will interrupt both hot and "neutral" if either sees an overcurrent.

First put on your EE hat. What will be the effect on ground wire current caused by capacitive coupling? What will be different if someone grabs a water pipe in one hand and touches a live wire with the other? Can you think of anything that might be in a recording studio that will have a problem with this kind of AC power? Think power filters (MOVS and caps) in surge suppressors. Think about GFCI outlets. Tube guitar amps built in the 1950s. Modern switching power supplies.

Now put on your electrician / electrical inspector hat. How many code violations can you find? Can you think of any sort of short circuit, open circuit, or miswiring that would be more dangerous with such a scheme?
