    Yeah, you live in the reality you create for yourself.

    Why would you stay in an industry that’s in a period of layoffs? Do you have no transferable skills? Did you make a series of financial decisions that mean you require a specific salary level?

    Do you not invest time in continuing education? Did you spend a decade working for people that didn’t invest in you? Gave you no opportunities to grow? Why would you tolerate that?

    Encouraging people to take abuse doesn’t fix anything.

    Encourage people to do things to insulate themselves from the risk of “reasons completely out of their control”.

    no self-esteem

    Not setting standards for yourself is holding you back. I see people with your attitude get underpaid, passed over for deserved promotions, and get mistreated. You are enabling shitty companies to stay shitty.

    It’s sad.




  • So usually, there’s a transformer that cuts mains AC at 110ish volts down to 16ish volts. Then this voltage is used to power things like dumb doorbells and alarm panels.

    This is mine that powers my doorbell.

    You might have an alarm panel, and I think that because the device you have in the picture looks like an old motion detector, or some model I haven’t seen.

    You could have a transformer next to your breaker panel like this If you do, and a white/red/grey/beige square enclosure nearby

    You can safely cut or unscrew the wires off the exposed side of the transformer. If you want to be super safe you can turn off that breaker before you do it, but you really just don’t want to bridge the contacts that the wires on the transformer are connected to.
