While others "Sit Still" we are always striving to make things better. 1) We have added a new player on this forum. Soon YOU will be able to upload your own videos as well. 2) We installed a LIVE message chat feature so everyone can CHAT in real time.

More updates are coming. Share this PORTAL as our goal is to make it THE PLACE to chat and build relationships.

PS: Now even easier to share and help grow...NECCHAT.COM is the new direct URL portal to this forum.

So, clearly we have ALOT going on in this image. So, give it a look and see everything you can find. Also make it a learning moment, take time to look up and provide actual NEC references where possible. Ultimately it makes you a better electrician and inspector, where applicable of course.

I have last week battled ignorant people in the comments of a certain home inspector in arizona. You have to explain every term you are using and they go to the dictionary for them and not article 100. And there is no debating with them as they are emotionally invested, and not try to get any facts and then make an option on the subject. The worst part about it after you made your case and layed out the facts it is " well you can just see that it an violence ". At least when you are here you can state your opinion and why you think this and get helpful responses, instead you are just a tik tok electrician and don't know how to do anything right. Thank you paul for this little oasis, away from emotional opinion and just rooted in facts.

Just a reminder, life is short and passes in a blink of an eye. Achieve as many dreams, desires, wants, missions, and goals as possible. We are a learning species so you should learn something NEW everyday.

Never accept Mediocrity...Stay Complex!

Well, I have (2) reasons for why I block people on social media. 1) I will not let wannabes taint learning moments and corrupt a thread. They will always THINK they are right even when grossly wrong. 2) I get daily death threats or vile and grotesque comments on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and so on. So, I screen everything because this world is evil, and folks like CY and his Fan Boys and other psychotic Facebook forum wackos like Willie Jackerson (not his real name) and his minions are the lowest form of life....so we educate and ignore the hate.

I never had "Discussion Fourms" like this when I was starting my NEC journey nearly 40 years ago. I had to make "My Own" discussions with like minded friends.

So, you have to wonder why we don't have thousands of members on this discussion forum?

Yeah, some of that may be "Because It's Paul" and I have a fair amount of folks who are jealous or just don't know me but hate me regardless. The sad part of that, not for me as I don't care, its the fact they miss out on learning.

You don't have to "Like" someone to at least respect them and "Learn" from them. Nothing says you have to "Communicate" with them but life says you should Learn from Them.

Either way....Their Loss....:)

Hey Guys- As you know I care for my wife who is in the early stages of Alzheimers. However, today she fell and broke her hip so I will be with her over the next week. So if you have any system issues please be patient with me.

Yeah, this was from a video on Instagram by a manufacturer showing their crimp products. Yes, it was from China.
