![]() ![]() Whenever I do electrical work, I always wear electrical protective gear such as insulating gloves to protect my hands, no matter how trivial the job may seem to be. However, if you want to locate the open ground yourself, you can always use an outlet testing tool. If you suspect you have an open ground outlet in your home, it’s best to contact a reputable electrician who can diagnose the problem and professionally solve it. So, how can you safely check for an open ground outlet? How to Check for an Open Ground Outlet Open ground outlets are thus a risk to property as well as human life. The danger of an ungrounded outlet is that when the wiring system of a house gets disturbed (because of a short, for example), the active electricity has no safe place to be discharged.Ī grounded outlet would divert the electricity back to the panel and through the grounding rod to safely dispel it.Īs a result, an ungrounded outlet can damage your electrical appliances, or worse, electrocute someone or spark an electrical fire. It can also be caused by a break in the grounding connection such as a broken wire. This can occur when a two-pronged outlet is upgraded to a three-prong outlet without adding the required grounding wire to the electrical circuit. ![]() ![]() What is an Open Ground Outlet?Ĭoming back to open ground outlets – what exactly is it?Īn open ground outlet refers to a three-pronged outlet that isn’t connected to the house’s electrical grounding system. It connects all electronic systems, devices, outlets, and metallic enclosures in your house to the ground. The grounding system provides a backup pathway to guide the current through an alternative route that leads it back to the ground. However, a fault in the wiring system can lead to a short circuit, and here’s where electrical grounding comes into play. Going back to basics, the electricity that a person uses in their house relies on a residential wiring system that provides electrons a pathway to flow, with the use of metal circuit wires. To understand what an open ground outlet means, we need to first understand what grounding means in electrical terms. If you need a fix for an outlet that isn’t grounded, don’t worry I’ve got everything you need to know below to understand what it means and how to best get these outlets in working order. Sometimes, our homes present us with a project we just shouldn’t ignore.Īn open ground outlet is no exception since obviously, it concerns electricity, and is there to keep us and our homes safer. ![]()

This would make it feel closer to what it really would feel as if you are playing a simulated-realistic style game. Sometimes you may want to be able to look like yourself in the game. Now it’s not that I don’t mind an easy setup when personalizing a character, but when you are limited to just a few ethnic groups, which not everyone wants to be. The game is limited to just 3 options of males and females. One thing, for example, is its limitation on choosing how you want to set up and customize your character your police officer. Now for a few, well many negative features, which I don’t want to sound like there are many, but I did find some issues that take away the realistic gameplay feel you get with a simulated game. The game is very well designed in that manner, which I’m grateful for! Some games can get you to fall off course and get lost on how to get back, this isn’t that difficult, cause it isn’t with too much freedom, not much like a Grand Theft Auto Game. So I haven’t found myself getting confused or lost, where I need to move or locate my next mission. So there may be limitations in this game, but it does keep you from doing something that may cause you to get lost. You can easily search and get to the locations you would like to visit that are accessible to you, which will be labeled with either a letter that’s on the controller so you can open, move to, speak to, and practically everything that you can or can’t do. There is even a nice feature of being able to move the player with ease, it isn’t difficult to walk around or run. So you don’t have to follow one path when it comes to the game, even the responses you can give throughout the game. You as the player can decide how you want to answer and what kind of person you want to be. Example one is that I do enjoy that you can voice your opinion when being asked a question. So beginning with the favorable parts of the game. However, not all games are perfect and some things are left out on getting put together completely when the rest of the game is complete. ![]() To start, I do want to mention that these are my own opinions and I don’t have anything against the game, it really is quite well designed. Especially, what little ideas I have that could make the game better and play even closer to the real thing. However, with all good games, even those that appear great, there are a few flaws that make the simulated style of this game a bit off from feeling or expecting to be really pretending to be the real thing being a real policeman or policewoman.įirst, let me start with the positive aspects of the game, afterwards, I’ll voice the few features that made the game lackluster. ![]() This game is one that I have noticed will keep you on your feet, with plenty of things to accomplish. If you don’t get to all these commands, you may just find yourself restarting back at the station. Therefore, as a rookie, starting this game out from the beginning can be hard to keep up with everything going on. ![]() Plus, with so much going on, many missions jobs needing our attention, it can be a bit challenging to stay on top of everything. So when you can pretend and feel how the life of being a police officer would be like, well right there I’m a bit excited! There are so many corrupt things that happen during the day, and as the duty of being the police in this game, we need to prevent them from reoccurring or getting worse. I should first mention, I’m a huge fan of simulated games. On the other hand, how about just having the power, while obeying the law and being able to take control of situations that require you to figure out who’s guilty or innocent and even what may have happened? Well now you can, with the game Autobahn Police Simulator 2! How Does it Feel Be the 5-0 Have you ever wanted to be a crime fighter or hero, just like the ones we see on the roads every day? I’m talking about the police who are constantly trying to protect and serve the community against those causing problems for others or those that require and need some help. ![]() ![]() ![]() To ensure we had the perfect hot pot experience, our waitress - nay, our shepherd - regularly monitored our table, from afar and up close. Guided through the proper hot pot experience in Urumqi, Xinjiang. She strongly “suggested” what sorts of meats and vegetables we ought to select to cook in our bubbling broth. Then, she took us by the hands - quite literally - to the fresh display case of sliced meat, chopped vegetables, and dumplings. She brought out a split broth pot, a pan for searing, a gas stove, and two small plates. Fortunately, she took control, aided by her few words of English (against our even fewer words of Mandarin Chinese). We had no idea what we were doing in regards to Chinese hot pot - the protocol, the choices, the process. We’d found the local Chinese hot pot joint.įrom the moment we walked in the door, our waitress could sense that we were out of our element. We eventually spotted a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant whose windows were filled with steam and whose seats were filled with locals actively digging in, enjoying their eating experience. Looking for a local place to eat, we wandered around a few back streets where English was nowhere to be heard. We were in Urumqi in China’s westernmost province of Xinjiang, having just crossed over the border from Kyrgyzstan. In this blog, I will introduce Sanma and Shabu Shabu, my two go-to hot pot places.Before I take you on a journey of hot pot history, and teach you how to enjoy this hands-on way to eat, I’ll first tell you the story of our very first Chinese hot pot experience. ![]() If I am really hungry and want a big meal, I will go the Shabu Shabu.

That was the cheapest food buffet I have ever seen. When I lived in Taichung, we would visit a small hot pot that was only 60 NT for the cheapest bowl, with free ice cream, soda, and braised pork rice. Finally we did find one in another town that was way expensive, not like the cheap hot pot buffets one could find in Taiwan that were perfect for satisfying a poor and hungry college student. After my first trip to Taiwan, I constantly craved hot pot, but couldn't find it anywhere in the US. Hot pot is one of my favorite things about Taiwan. There are basically countless hot pot restaurants and restaurant chains, more than I could ever list in this blog.

In addition, most hot pot places will offer unlimited drinks, rice, and ice cream, while full buffets will offer all you can eat meats and vegetables, along with other hot foods and desserts. In Taiwan it is popular to add Shacha sauce and other hot sauces to mix with the cooked foods. Hot pot exists in many forms, such as Mala (spicy) hot pot, Lamb Hot Pot, Beef Hot Pot, Seafood Hot Pot, Seafood Hot Pot, Stinky Tofu Hot Pot, etc. Hot pot first originated in China in the Zhou Dynasty, and the traditional food making process has continued to this day. In particular, all you can eat hot pot buffets in Taiwan are a great way to get full, which can be divided into small hot pots, low end hot pot buffets, and high end hot pot buffets. Basically it involves boiling meat and vegetables in a broth to eat.

In coastal waters, they can also be seen at depths between 20 feet to 40 feet. That’s considered to be way too shallow for its size. Conversely, they have been spotted in the shallow waters of Hawaii in a depth of only about 10 feet. While most Tiger Sharks are found in those regions, they have also been spotted as far South as Cape Cod and as far North as Japan.įound at average depths of around 350 meters (about 1100 feet), they have also been seen at depths exceeding 900 meters or about 3,000 feet (more than a half mile). They are also found near New Zealand, Australia, India, Africa and China. They are abundantly found in the Caribbean region in addition to the North American beaches, and the Gulf of Mexico. Even though they are known to prefer deep water, they will sometimes come into shallower water to enter reefs and canals in pursuit of prey. Although this shark is a nomad, its movements are almost always guided by water temperatures and deep waters. This shark prefers warm waters and tropical temperatures. They’ve also been recently put on the Marine red list, which makes it illegal to fish or hunt Tiger Sharks across the world. ![]() Due to such heavy fishing practices, the population of this shark has dwindled.Ĭurrently, the Tiger Shark is considered near threatened due to its hunting by humans. More specifically, the liver is very rich in vitamin A and is used to manufacture vitamin pills. The sharks skin, fins, liver and flesh are considered to be delicacies. This is a prize catch for many fisheries, especially in tropical locations. It is also prone to being fished out frequently. Because this shark enjoys visiting canals, harbors and shallow reefs, which are often areas used by humans, a Tiger Shark is considered dangerous and has the second largest number of attack data after the Great White Shark.

Hatcher bemoans the developments going up around the restaurant and wishes the city would focus on fixing existing infrastructure first before piling on new developments. That Eats still exists at all on Ponce today comes down to the fact that owner Bob Hatcher ended up purchasing the building in 1998. It remains a restaurant staple in Atlanta serving uncomplicated, affordable food in an atmosphere which can only be described as charmingly old school. But Eats hearkens back to a time when the city had some semblance of local character and wasn’t chock-full of bland mixed-use complexes dotting the landscape. Sometimes the decades-old businesses occupying those buildings are factored into future plans for these properties. Opened in 1993, Eats is a hold-out in Atlanta, a city where developers are known for snatching up properties at lightening speed, often razing historic or cherished buildings. As a modest, single-story building with stucco painted avocado green, Eats is squat in stature sitting in the shadow of Ponce City Market across the street and at least two construction sites which will eventually tower over the restaurant in the coming year. These restaurants serve as the foundation of the Atlanta dining scene, and continue to stand the test of time.Įats stands out among a sea of construction along Ponce de Leon Avenue where the borders of Midtown, Old Fourth Ward, and Virginia-Highland meet near the Eastside Beltline.

I tried making a completely acid-free marinade, but missed the brightness it brought. Modern chicken is pretty darn tender to begin with, so there's no real need for acid-based tenderization techniques. Used with a heavy hand, it can denature meat proteins, causing them to turn chalky or dry, even before you've started cooking them. When used sparingly, it can balance flavors and mildly tenderize tough, connective tissue in the outer layers of a piece of meat. I tried adding sugar in various forms-plain sugar, orange juice concentrate, honey-and settled on brown sugar, which also adds a faint touch of bitterness. ![]() ![]() A touch of sugar also balances salt nicely. Sugar, when used in moderation, will help the meat brown better on the grill, creating strong smoky, charred flavors.In a side-by-side taste test, a marinade made with soy sauce instead of straight-up salt actually made my chicken taste meatier. Not only does the soy sauce add salt, but it's also a strongly concentrated form of glutamates, the molecules responsible for triggering our sense of savoriness. Surprisingly, in Jamaica, it's often added in the form of soy sauce.
