None yet. Wasn't there supposed to be some ceremony thing in K-Town? I'm not going but I want mine mailed. I've given the state enough money.....they can afford a first class envelope and a stamp.

It would seem the generator is the source but the maximum amount of energy available for the fault is dictated by the weakest link: in this case, the 25 MVA transformer. You can't push 50 MVA through a 25 MVA transformer.

Huh....weird. Glad they never asked a question like that on my exam. Confession: I didn't have the NFPA 70E and was fine...but I'm not saying don't take it. I didn't even know about it until after the exam.

What was the dictionary for? Never heard of bringing one of them for this exam.

Every single practice problem I've seen like this is all shown the same and whenever there is only 1 diode, it's a half wave circuit. If there are 2, it's a full wave. No, it's not what I'd expect to see with a rectifier circuit, but I had to get used to how they were representing it in their...

Yes, it is. The entire bridge is a lot of times not shown in NCEES one-line style diagrams, but it is a full wave rectifier. If it were half wave, it would only have one diode and not 2.

Dare I ask....but are you taking it this Friday (4/21)? Also, have you familiarized yourself with the material you're going to use to study/reference?

-Complex/Imaginary Complete Set -Camara Power Reference Manual -NEC with the tabs they sell -NESC -School of PE and/or PPI notes, tabbed out and labeled by major topics/subjects -School of PE and/or PPI practice problems, tabbed out and labeled by major topics/subjects -Chapman Machines...

They cracked down on some of that a few years ago. JetBlue was the worst about it.

Yes, I have. You don't create a situation for a protest to begin with. If a plane is overbooked, not one single passenger should be let on until the overbooking situation is resolve....AT THE GATE.

I just really can't wait until the lawyers get finished with this one. It's not going to go in United's favor. They will probably settle out of court and agree to admit no wrongdoing and the terms will never be discusses, but you can bet this is going to cost them and the airport police a lot of...

Reasonable Alternative: Airline: "Sir, we need you to deboard." Passenger in Question: "I can't I have a pressing need in the destination city that is time sensitive and I CANNOT miss this flight." Airline on PA: "We'll offer $2000 in a certified check, hotel, transportation, membership in...

Believe it or not, if someone is not being compliant (for whatever reason), the default reasonable action is not to beat the sh*t out of them.

He can make the argument that it was United that was not complying with the agreement they made to fly him to a specified location at a specified time. Point is: it was handled 110% the wrong way by the airlines and the cops. The lawyers are gonna have a field day with this one both civilly and...

If the premise was "by invitation" the conclusion of that invitation would be based on a conclusion of an event organized by me.
