How to clean up spilled paint on carpet? It seems to me your mistake was who you chose to live with, not where you chose to live your paint can. |

How high I should install a 52 inch TV on the wall? Preference for 1/3 or 1/2 probably depends if you are tall or short (usually look slight down or up at other people's faces) |

Why does water from outside spigots seem to “stutter” (starts and stops)? @ScottMitchell: If that's the case ,then I go so far as to say it is definitely the cause and you don't need to worry about it. (You should accept the answer) |

What happens if I shave a little sliver off electrical wire with a utility knife? ...(contd) The problem with a nicked wire is that a smaller cross-section raises resistivity (sans skin effect). See here: daycounter.com/Calculators/SkinEffect/… |

What happens if I shave a little sliver off electrical wire with a utility knife? Would downvote if I had the rep. Don't speculate on things you don't know and can't be bothered to research. #3 is wrong for so many reasons. The so-called skin effect operates on high-frequency signals. At 60 Hz, the skin depth is ~0.36 inches, which is obviously way thicker than a wire. Even if you didn't know that, it should be obvious that a shaved wire still has a surface. If skin effect were actually an issue, it would actually be an argument that a nicked wire is okay!... |
