How are you supposed to connect those solid copper neutral / ground wires?

…to a bathroom exhaust fan twisted wire for neutral. And is it worth risking heat stroke to fix a bathroom exhaust fan neutral that I connected to the house neutral with black electrical tape?

I was having a helluva time using a wire nut…I would tug on it, think it was secure, then it would fall out as I moved things just a little bit.

And what happens if the ground comes loose? (Ground fault circuit if that matters.)

Simple bathroom fan install question

I’m trying to install a panasonic whisper renew rg-n110LHA and two things don’t make sense.

So this has the bracket that folds 90 degrees. You put the bracket in the hole first, and attach it to the joists.

Then all 3 videos I watch, the fan is inserted into the hole as well and then screwed in to the bracket.

The thing I don’t understand is that although the fan housing has clear openings for screws, there is nothing threaded on the bracket. There’s just a track that slides left or right to reach both joists.

I can’t twist a screw in to that track woth my hands, but maybe it would go with a drill. But this is a fairly heavy fan and I’m not sure 4 screws driven vertically through the holes in the housing and in to this track in the metal bracket would be enough to keep it from falling out of the ceiling.

Then there is the other issue that on the left and right sides of the fan housing there are 2 more slots for screws, but there wouldn’t be anything to screw into. But that’s probably nothing as I was provided with 8 screws, presumably so 4 attach the bracket to the joists and 4 attach the fan housing to the bracket. I also dont know if the 4 longer screws with the weird tip are the bracket in to joist screws or the fan in to bracket screws.

Is there a way to use smoke to find if there’s a hole in duct work?

So it turns out working in attics sucks.

Also I expected it to suck…and then it aucked 50x worse than that. And this was at 8 am.

Anyway the ducting for this 1970s Minneapolis 2nd ring suburban house … I can’t move it, and I can’t inspect it because my folks paid someone to blow 7,000 metric cubic tons of pink insulation in to the attic.

So I’m wondering if there’s some sort of flare…or smoke …generating….thing that I can use in the bathroom and see how much of it vents out to the outside and how much leaks to the attic.

Thanks!

Funniest thing you've heard in WoW?

2006, Karazhan. Pug a warlock in to the Terestian Illhoof fight, the satyr that opens portals up and imps come streaming through.

Ask the warlock if he knows what to do:

design Classic+, but evil

--Per the original design goal in 2008, leveling a paladin to max will unlock an option to delete the paladin and create a Death Knight, as a hero class.

--Paladins now only gain experience from killing other player characters.

As they hype reaches a fever pitch...I have to say I've seen no leaks...Classic+ could be pretty much anything

I don't watch any streams, but yah...Classic+ could basically be anything as far as I know.

As I posted here, a lot of what makes vanilla....vanilla...is things that any 2026 game developer would call serious flaws https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1u2fyp4/it_is_funny_how_vanilla_wow_was_so_belovedbecause/

So it's curious to see if we'll get a grindy RPG in the flavor of 2004, a retail-lite, a titan-like WoW (the version in China with all new abilities and I think the first 3 expansions simultaneously), a Season of Discovery, or something new entirely, like a retelling of what Azeroth would be like if Arthas didn't go evil (the leaked screenshot does say Camelot, except pulling a sword from a stone is what doomed Arthas).

Also really curious if...well Classic+ would be insane if it was a totally new world, but I highly doubt that's coming unless they AI generated half the thing.

But yah....point is...Classic+ could basically be anything!

What was the first raid encounter to have Multiple phased locations (simultaneously) like mythic L'ura?

Edit: Must be a fight with Three+ Simultaneous phased locations with players in each.

Was asking myself if this expansion had any new tech yet and I can't think of much, at least not on the scale of "player momentum / sliding on ice" from Dragonflight.

As for phased locations, I'm not talking about things like Yogg's brain room which was...technically not really even phased, just a teleport to a nearby room that players could only access a third of at a time.

It's interesting because phasing goes all the way back to Kalecgos in Sunwell I think, but...multiple phases I think is more recent.

Median DPS in Siege has gone from 200k (in 2013) to 240k

What are your thoughts about this 20% increase?

.

Edit: Checking some fatboss raid guides for heroic noru'shen 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUgczu-npes DPS at 7:30 in the video: warlock 267.4 I think druid 186 shadow 147 mage 147 ret 115 rogue 112

heroic malkorok modern:

https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/1054?boss=51595&size=10

fatboss raid guide dps: top warlock is doing 337k, rogue is doing 229

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdgD1HW46P0

.

Median DPS in 2013 was 200k plus or minus 20k, now it's 240k plus or minus roughly 15k. So yah the top specs in 2013, combat, affliction, and sub, would all be at the bottom of the modern median with arms, destro, and both DK specs.

What were historical DPS levels in Siege the first time?

And particularly Garrosh…Due to the excessively long berserk timer I’m assuming the fight used to last a lot longer, and that empowered adds were a much more present part of the fight than an afterthought of the tank—rounding up one group as the group blasts out P3 before a second set appears.

Because I thought by Mists that Warcraft Logs was ubiquitous and parse culture had already taken hold. But maybe that wasn’t fully entrenched to Legion.

Granted the (effectively) free catch up gear is enormously helpful and prevents any gaps in itemization.

Plus I think in OG mists half the raid was stuck on some random part of the legendary cloak questlin. It’s still kinda lengthy even though it was made so much easier.

But catch up gear and cloaks alone don’t fully explain some of the groups I’ve been in for normal Garrosh that are not decked out in heroic gear but still pushing P3 without killing adds.

How to work in attic covered in 2 feet of insulation?

My mom's bathroom exhaust fan was from the 70s and the motor had swelled so much that the fan blades were crescent shaped from grinding against it.

So I ripped the whole housing out...only to find out there is TWO FEET of insulation in the attic and can't see any of the duct work.

So do you just have to...shovel the stuff outta the way and then put it back?

How much would it cost to have a handyman do it?

Garrosh Normal 10 doing vastly different amounts of damage to different players

I been raiding a long time, but could not quite explain something I saw tonight. Multiple abilities on the Garrosh fight were doing wildly different amounts of damage to players. It wasn’t a bug but the mitigation % numbers in WCL also don’t add up.

Iron Star hit the wall? Half the raid was fine, the undergeared resto sham … well he took not just more %, but 100k more damage. Resto druid? Same thing

The whirl? Half the raid was laughing it off, the other half was mashing their healthstone button hoping that shtuff would work a third time.

Killed Paragons thrice, no idea what they do

10 normal: For starters I haven’t seen a single paragon power, do they just not show up on the UI? How do you pick them up?

Iyokkuk the calculator doesnt do much in normal, just stay away from lines. But Diminish on the tank…is that serious? The dungeon journal says something about 33% health reduction but I didn’t see it.

I also don’t generally have trouble with vehicles, but I got turned in to the scorpion once and none pfthat worked at all. Any tips besides turning Bartender4 off, which I can’t realistically do.

And the catalyst dude…he marks everyone when he comes down, right, then casts yellow/red/blue and it only affects the people with that color?

Elemental is a badass spec

Lot of cool abilities, graphics, and sound effects. Elemental shaman over the last 20 years has oscillated between being a crappy knockoff mage and an unbelievable force of nature winging around volcanic lightning while the elements themselves do their bidding.

This is one of the iterations where the only time they're not shooting lightning is so they can shoot lava instead ;-)
