      If you could convince those 62 people who have half the world's wealth to give some up, which you won't, instead of taking the other half we could save millions of lives a year. Both here and elsewhere. Like scrooge mcduck though they want to swim in their money and watch us die, laughing to themselves at the cockroaches.

          What do you mean by loft? The attic? If so, yes. There's a lightswitch in the upstairs bathroom that turns on the light in the attic. Then, in the attic, there's a receptacle where we can plug in another light that's just hanging. Someone made it and it works if we need more lighting.

          The receptacle I was working on was in the down stairs bathroom though.

          Why do you ask?

            I agree! Even if we ignored all of the money those 62 people had, we could make a huge difference. With third world countries, we could help them. Just giving them clean water. Invest a little in equipment and show them how to get the clean water. How to grow crops, etc. But when I talk to people, even my poorer friends, they almost always seem to have the similar response. We have poor people in America. We should care about them, not people in the other parts of the world.

            I always tell them, they're humans. Why does where you're born matter? If someone needs help, we should help them. We should stop looking at it like I was born in this country so this country is the only country that matters! It's kinda sad, honestly.

              i wondered if it may be related to unknown wires.

                help with home a/c and circuit breaker
                by BigTroll
                while I was gone today the women called me and said the a/c isn't working and the breaker is buzzing so she turned off the breaker. The a/c is a old 1993 model York so its nearing the end of its days, on really hot days the a/c will trip the breaker.

                I visually checked the cap and contactor and they looked okay, I also pulled the 250v ac fuses and switched the main ac breaker on and got no buzz. I did get buzz when I put the ac 250v fuses back in and flipped on the breaker nothing but buzzing. could it be a shorted wire or did the circuit breaker just finally give up the ghost?...

                Rockworth breaker burning out motor
                by notallbad
                Got given this breaker to fix, armature had failed so replaced and the same thing happened.

                Its a 240v heavy duty breaker as opposed to site 110v.

                The 1st armature was bought from aliexpress and advertised as 240v but burnt out within 2 minutes light use taking the 13amp fuse with it and the 2nd bought from ebay (german seller) started to get very hot and begin to smoke so hopefully saved it by shutting it off quick at the first sign of smoke but have now tested the x2 safety cap and its not reading 0.22uf, much lower.

                Theres very little to it really on the...

                Electric oven tripping circuit breaker after turned on for 3-5 minutes
                by beetle1303
                My electric oven was working fine all the while from purchased 2 years ago. I have been using it weekly for about a year, but stopped using for a year now since then.
                When I turn it on again yesterday, the tripped the circuit breaker and whole house no power supply. I reset the circuit breaker, and retried. Same thing happened.

                This is what happened:
                - Turned on the oven power supply, set temperature to 200c, everything worked for a few minutes, then the power tripped. Oven was warmed/hot.
                - Reset circuit breaker, retried, same thing happened.
                ...

                monitor AORUS AD27QD - short circuit and tripped breaker.
                by sew333
                Hello. I had a good monitor AORUS AD27QD. Yesterday when i was sleep i left monitor on like always. When i woke in morning there was not power in house. Something tripped breaker/fuse.
                When i turn up breaker and power back in,monitor just refused to turn on. So monitor i guess tripped breaker somehow and make short circuit.

                PC starting normally. Only monitor get damaged.
                During night only pc was running and monitor. Other devices was off.

                Is this possible that monitor can trip breaker?
