By the way, here in the city.......probably in all decrim/legal cities, people who smoke in public, walking down the streets, in parks......for the most part it's young people who just want to be seen.

I may be in the minority being in my 40’s, but if someone can smoke a cigarette in public, I should be able to smoke a doobie. Obviously not around kids, much like smoking in public should be restricted to, but it should be treated at least on the same playing field.

Not that I care to smoke in public, but if I’m going somewhere that spikes my anxiety, I shouldn’t be in fear of legal trouble if I smoke before going into some place.

Just my $0.02

Could someone please explain the difference between a supported cable and an unsupported cable

Thanks

an unsupported cable hangs heavy(tension) on the connection point between hood/ballast and cable as in this example, a supported cable is for example when the cable is run with zipties or saddles that keep it from hanging
hope my explanation makes sense, english isn't my first language

Hey, ex- electrician here, My big take on this is to check your electrical connections regularly. weekly at least daily if you have to, make sure they're all tight with no stress on the connection its self. Lose connections cause heat and heat degrades the wires to failure...safety safety guys.

hot cables are also less efficient at carrying load i would assume as well

Yeah, thank you.....more of this please. Of course, us non-electricians are wary of touching wires that are active.....what's the best/safest way to test things?
