Not even that, but they are simple and repairable. I remember we had these sleigh-style desks (same idea except the seat was one-piece molded plastic) that were a total of four parts (two rails, the seat and the desk top) aside from bolts/hardware, and they had a graveyard of parts to replace pieces as needed. And those desk were tough as all hell.
So that’s why him, Zuck, and their ilk are the way they are.
OO is fantastic.
Shit in my CA town that would be $500k easy.
The Donner Party says hello between bites
And the pope makes the two point conversion!
No worries. I was actually surprised when I found that out, considering there are plenty of other miniscule things the code is very specific about.
Meh, close enough, same spirit.
Probably a good time for a PSA that ropes on roofs are your friends.
Disclaimer: used in an appropriate manner.
That actually sounds rather pleasant, minus the book. Air travel is great for books.
They don’t care though, if anything it’s more money for the medical profit machine.
The on/off switch always struck me as odd. Like, in a recessed plug such as this where the male prongs have a bit of insulation to them, are they really that worried about a tiny arc that might occur when someone forgets to turn off the device? Like it would make more sense to have a limit switch built into the socket that activates on insertion and deactivates on removal. And even then, with our caveman sockets in the US, a small arc isn’t the end of the world, you just know not to have your fingers near the shiny bits.
You say that, until you get a surprise tickle up on a ladder and accidentally punch yourself in the face. Ask me how i know :)
Glad to see another electrician on here!
Code doesn’t specify the orientation of a standard duplex 15 or 20 amp receptacle. Personally, I’m of the position that they should be ground pin up, for exactly the situation you specified. But, since there isn’t a code mandate, residential customers and the occasional commercial customer will make you flip them because “they look weird upside down” (ground up). I think a lot of this comes from the old K&T days when it was standard practice to place the hot terminal on the right and neutral of the left, assumably because most people are right handed, and they added the ground on the bottom to make the face as it was more aesthetically pleasing. Granted, this last bit is all pure speculation.
The fact of the matter is that since I can’t draw a code reference to ground up, I install residential ground down. On commercial jobs I’ll ask the client directly and explain the hazard, since they’re more liability minded, and they’ll typically go ground up except in reception areas and the like. People are funny.
Times of war yes, but to seize land before you get to that point…
That’s probably the point, get people to fight back as an excuse to squash them.
They’re already behind the scenes pulling the strings. If swear there was already a documentary novel series and film about this.
American dude here, right there with you. Just some of these conversations you overhear from girls in their 20s or even 30s is mind numbing, and they can keep going until the sun comes up. And they’re loud.
My wife and I saw Dead and Co last year at the sphere in Vegas, and there were these two women behind us that wouldn’t shut up the entire show, just talking like you’d envision two teenagers gossiping out their asses.
I think a lot of it just comes from a complete lack of social awareness, and if they’re the slightest bit pretty, they’ve likely never been checked for being rude or obnoxious.
Care to share what that entails?
Again, that was the style and not the exact ones we had, but yeah they were all fixed position, however ours weren’t too bad. I dunno, I don’t remember anyone complaining much, I was on the taller side of my peers and fit fine while I recall even the smaller kids were alright too. Id wager a big reason they were chosen was so kids couldn’t balance on the back legs, fall back and crack dome. They were great for cracking your back!
