    TENNESSEE!!!!

    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.

    Camara Power Practice Problems 36-2 Prob #8

    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.

    Book to bring for the exam

    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.

    Book to bring for the exam

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

    Full wave rectifier

    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...

    Full wave rectifier

    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?

    DONE with United Airlines

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

    DONE with United Airlines

    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.

    DONE with United Airlines

    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...

    DONE with United Airlines

    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...

    DONE with United Airlines

    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.

    DONE with United Airlines

    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...

    DONE with United Airlines

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

    DONE with United Airlines

    That's entirely different. That's trespassing and them entering my home was not based on a business transaction for any services to be rendered or goods to be delivered.
  17. TNSparky

    DONE with United Airlines

    I'm against using a police force to resolve a poor business decision. If it's not a CRIME, it's not the police's job. The man bought his seat and was sitting in it. There was no crime committed by him being on the plane. He was not threatening anyone or the aircraft.

    DONE with United Airlines

    And for the record (not that it matters), I thought the shooting was justified. I won't make a comment regarding one party or the other being a "good guy" or "bad guy." Somebody got shot (albeit, justified). Somebody died. There was little "good" about that other than the fact that the officer...

    Not relevant.

    DONE with United Airlines

    PITA he might be, but as I pointed out in my alternatives, there were AT LEAST 8 other ways to resolve this other than the method chosen, all of which would have resulted in a better outcome for everybody. And when the lawyers get done with United and the cops in court, I hope the amount is so...
