It's ridiculous! The intercom for the building in which I live has been broken for ages now. It should be a simple matter to fix it, anyone with a basic understanding of electricity should be able to fix it.

However, no matter how many emails I send to NPGMC, Prince still hasn't fixed it.

Sure, he might kick ass on guitar, but he's bloody rubbish with a soldering iron and a multimeter

and on top of that 2 of tha capacitors were shot to so i replaced those

Take it out, I want Prince to do it!
I expect him to be capable of doing anything, including leaping tower blocks with a single bound. Is that too much to ask? I think not!

ian said:

ok if he puts the resistor in backwards, u know what'll happen then.

This is because he's too busy with his Triangle classes.

Resistors aren't directional. Prince told me! He said that if you're short of 10K resistors thick violin strings will suffice.

This ridiculous thread should be deleted. Where are the moderators?

uglybrowneyes said:

Exactly.

sabaisabai said:

u never popped a resistor before?..yes resistor's are directional and do pop when placed in backwards as well as electrolitic capacitors

Finess said:

It's just amazing how some threads are deleted immediately, but completely useless shit like this is allowed to stand. Perhaps there is a double standard for those who possess the "moderator" title. Fucking ridiculous...

It's just a joke thread anyway though...

minneapolisgenius said:

You also have to keep in mind that this thread was started by a moderator.

My point exactly. Others post "joke" threads that get deleted, but it's okay for Ian?

Finess said:

Never popped one. I believe that some resistors are directional are some aren't..

uglybrowneyes said:

You're damn right, Ugly. When you become moderator you can do things your way. You can have no jokes at all and do away with anything that strays from said topic; but until then...

uglybrowneyes said:

I agree entirely. I suspect the mods here are a bit slack

ian said:

Why do you think he has an afro now? because he got electricuted last time he tried to mess around with the intercom.

uglybrowneyes said:

I agree, and I also think we should complain about the number of people here with no sense of humour and take themselves far too seriously. Something should be done about those fuckwits.

memories of the a/c goin out at last year's celebration come 2 mind...

There's no rules against jokes on our website. However maybe it's a good idea. We'll ban laughter while we are at it.

Do I hear a pot calling a kettle? You are truly a fine piece of work. Remember the rules, Ian!

Be civilized, and try to keep posts "clean". Don't be hateful or abusive or harass others. Do not start, engage in, or encourage 'flame wars'. A good general rule: "criticize ideas, not people." Personal/racial/ethnic/gender-based insults, slurs, or derisive comments will not be tolerated.

Oh yeah, moderators have absolute rights. My bad. F.O. Ian!

On the contrary, have you ever seen the boot video of his '87 Rotterdam show at the Rotterdam Electrician's Convention?

Brotha was jamming with the input/output currents! He is one of the funkiest electricians I have ever seen, IMO.

I'm an electrician, I should know. Do yourself a favor Ian, and don't speak about shit you know nothing about. P is one of the greatest electricians out there.
