  1. I have several Makita 12VMax cordless tools and I am going to buy a couple new batteries. Has anyone had actual experience using the aftermarket batteries? They are significantly cheaper, but not know anything of the performance/durability that does not mean a lot. Anyone use a particular brand?
  2. Two housewives were talking to each other over the backyard fence. Janet said to Kay I was mad at my husband this morning so I poured water on the floor in front of the washing machine. Its almost noon now and he is still trying to fix it.
  3. So Jim goes to confession and tells his priest that he swore. The priest asks how this came to be. Jim says he was golfing and hit a drive that was easily going to be 250 yards. But it hit a telephone wire and dropped. "So that's when you swore?" asked the priest. "No," says Jim. "A squirrel ran out of the woods and picked up the ball and ran back towards the woods." "So that's when you swore?" asked the priest. "No," says Jim. "A hawk swooped down and snatched up the squirrel and flew off." "So then?" asked the priest. "No," said Jim. "The squirrel dropped the ball. It bounced off a rock, Then bounced off a tree limb. Then bounced down an incline, hit another rock and bounced over the sand trap, onto the green and came to a stop six inches from the cup!" said Jim. "So," said the priest, "You missed the @#$%^& PUTT?!?!"
  4. I stand corrected, thanks! Never a fan of either, politically.
  5. Did he say that before or after he killed millions of his "comrades"?
  6. Whatever they do, they should not use some of the billions in aid to employ some the fed-up young Palestinians with no jobs to develop Palestine. Just continue beheading babies, raping women, and murdering as many Jews as possible until Isael surrenders. The celebratory videos are a nice touch and should help secure support from other antisemites from around the world.
  7. Yes, he exaggerated the value of his property to get a loan, oh the humanity! And why is the bank he colluded with for the loan not being charged as well? It's not like they take your word for it when you loan you money. Biden flushed Afghanistan down the toilet and now he'll flush Israel down the toilet, the border is open, the economy stinks, yet Joe and his family are all getting rich.
  8. Let's not forget all the weapons and whatnot left behind in Afghanistan.
  9. When you give people money for groceries, they are free to spend the money they would have spent on groceries on something else. It's not really that complex.
  10. How could the prisoners get out to kidnap people? And why would they go back to prison after they got out? That makes no sense.
  11. A proud day for all the Palestinian sympathizers.
  12. I'm pretty sure I ordered a 24VAC valve, but I've had it over a year, so I just want to make it work. Thanks again...
  13. Thanks, I did not know a transformer did not work with DC.
  14. Perfect, thanks for the help!
  15. Thanks, I already have the 24V timer, I'll buy a power supply.
  16. I've been playing with main voltage my whole life both at home and at work. I do not know much about electronics, which is why I am here for help. I assumed it would, but I do not understand why a rectifier rated 400V and 25A would necessarily go after the transformer, that's why I am asking. Do you know if it goes before or after, and if so, do you know why?
  17. If voltage drop is a concern, would it not make sense to put the bridge before the transformer? That's what I want to do. I don't mind buying what I need. I do not see it on the valve, photos below. It is a 1" water valve I want to open with a timer for an hour a day. 0.5A
  18. Woke is a culture that believes that..."Western European and the United States’ officials modern, 21st century version of western civilization is A: Successful, and B: The only model that works. That is: greater statism, ever larger government, fixations on race and tribalism, open boarders, globalist ecumenical ideas that were beyond the 20th century ideas of parochial boarders, common language, common people and mandatory green energy because global warming is destroying the planet. "
  19. Something like this? Will being too big hurt anything?
  20. Thanks, I corrected my mistake in the post, the solenoid is marked DC24V
  21. I have a small transformer I would like to use to control a 24VDC NC solenoid valve. I think I can just use a bridge rectifier to convert from AC to DC, but I have a few questions. 1. The transformer (below) has three leads on the secondary and is marked 24V 0 24V. Does this mean I can 24VAC using one red wire and the center black wire and 48VAV the two red wires, or does it mean I can get 12VAC (black and red) or 24VAC (two red)? 2. Should the rectifier go before or after the transformer? 3. Does the rectifier below look appropriate? Vishay Diode Bridge Rectifier 25A, 400V (GBPC2504A) | Lazada.co.th
  22. Yet as a percentage, humans live longer, work less, and eat better than at any time in the history of the world.
