Hello From the People's Republic Of Australia

Post by atton »

Hello I am Atton from the PRA, I am a software dev student and with some luck hopefully a future code monkey. I am into all things systems be them automotive engines, electronics, firearms, computers and machines in general. I also happen to when seasons permitting run my still from time to time for the production of spirit for various uses and in other cases for the production of a genuine Aussie dark rum.

Of which came to a screaming halt thanks to a thermal fuse. (I literally ran the boiler as conservatively as possible and it did not fail during operation)
While my hand tool and building skills are somewhat limited they have improved over time. To the point where I can make car repairs on some minor things with the limited tools I have. Other than that I dare say I am a bucket of flaws with at times the brain of a Koala.

Welcome Atton
At least a Koala knows that Australia is not a Republic
Suggest you keep politics and your hobbies separated..

You're going to want to review your wiring situation. Thermal breaker tripping would indicate that you have too small wires supplying it, causing too much resistance and/or too much voltage drop (increasing heat and current in the circuit)

Not to worry.
At times an enthusiastic interest at getting straight to the meat and potatoes of the intended subject matter can render some of the other reading content here a bit less interesting.
I just want you to understand what ultimately keeps the peace here.

Dog whistle terminology best left at the door. Keep to distilling talk and ya just can't go wrong.
No matter.

Welcome again.
