It’s the O in the abbreviation sandwiched between Gaslight and Project.

While that may be “an option”, 5G sucks compared to coax service.

Both are inferior to fiber by a long shot, but wired will always be better than cellular, which is limited spectrum and inconsistent.

Anker smoke. Don’t breath this.

I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.

AI has been a net-negative for society.

Work 12 hour days AND every other weekend for poverty wages? Wow sign me up!

That’s Russia and China in a nutshell. Trump does it too, but that’s just because he’s mimicking daddy Putin.

The American war machine was getting light pocketbooks. Gotta start another conflict.

Yup. I had to break this habit with my Mother-in-Law. She would park her car at home and not plug it in, then get range anxiety after a few days of that.

I printed and laminated a “Did you plug your car in?” and put it beneath her alarm panel, so when she armed it at night she’d remember to go plug it in, if she forgot when she got home.

Yeah even 20 amps at 230V is way less intense and is a good middle ground.

I used one of these cheap plugs for installing my MIL’s EV charger before I heard of the issues. However, It’s been fine because I under-utilized it due to the continuous load. I’m using it on a 40 amp circuit (code allows for this, as there is no 40 amp receptacle, so these plugs are allowed in this situation) with a 40 amp breaker and the charger is set to “40 amps”, which is really 32 amps, via dip switches, so it’s drawing 80% of 80% of 50 amps.

Given the problems I’ve heard, though, I might just change it up and just hard wire it, even if I’m almost certainly fine anyway.

Almost nobody actually needs a 50 amp charger, unless you’re driving something like a Hummer EV. As long as you’re charging at 230V, a 15-20 amp draw is PLENTY for 99% of situations. Even at that lower amperage, most cars would charge from close to dead to 100% in less than 12 hours and the majority of people only discharge above 60-70% on their daily commute. Even a 110V 15 amp outlet can handle charging that overnight.

Never say never. There are actually several areas where I’ve seen fiber build out from government grants.

That said, they are EXCEPTIONALLY rare and typically scumbag ISPs pocket the money with no consequences, since nobody who writes these laws sets up consequences for failing to deliver.

It does have some excellent use cases. Asbestos tile was probably everywhere you walked in school, is extremely durable, and perfectly safe (unless you cut it with a saw). My house is covered in asbestos siding and is basically unphased in appearance since it was installed in 1964 by the Texas sun.

However, any situation where it can cause it to be airborne, such as brake pads, insulation, etc. is no bueno. It’s a kind of incredible material IN VERY SPECIFIC USE CASES.

Like most materials science, there are tradeoffs. R22 was a great refrigerant compared to R410a or the newer R32 that required way less pressure to be effective, but it also burned holes in the atmosphere, hence it isn’t used anymore. Asbestos is an incredible material, but so is flurooantiminic acid and I wouldn’t want it anywhere near me.

To be clear here: This is reversing a ban on ONE type of asbestos that’s often used in automotive parts (such as brake pads). They’re not advocating for us to bring it back for things like loose fill insulation, building materials, etc.

Also, to be clear: It’s still stupid and likely a combination of Russia being the largest producer of Asbestos and/or Trump having an obsession with overturning Biden-era rulings.

I’ll bet if you answer that you don’t have social media, you get immediately disqualified.

I’d rather not fuck him, thanks. There are enough wives/baby mamas who have done that at this point.

This.

That said, it’s rare that only one or two outlets in a garage are tied to a breaker. Usually they’re all on one circuit in older homes, in my experience.

If you can find a circuit like this, though, it’s perfectly valid. Many chargers made for 110V also have a 230V/15 or 20 amp mode. My Mother-in-law’s portable charger has a 230V NEMA 2-20 adapter that comes in the bag with it.

I doubt this crash is Boeing’s fault. The airframe in this crash was considered very safe.

The more probable cause is Air India being lax in safety.

An airplane flown from a country known for terrible safety standards crashed? Color me shocked.

This from the same country where it’s common practice to make plastic poles with wire to attach directly to power lines, weld without welding face masks, use power tools with bare feet or sandals, overload scooters with 3x their load bearing capacity, and much more.

My heart goes out to everyone who lost someone on this flight, but it’s sadly not surprising. India really needs to invest in workplace and personal safety, which is going to be a gigantic cultural shift.

Poor Seang Chau. They wrote this blog post in a total of three paragraphs, but Google was still like “WOULD YOU LIKE AN AI SUMMARY?” at the top.

Literally took me about 45 seconds to read all of the features, but Google is over here burning down another rainforest to process an AI summary of a three paragraph blog post with three pictures.
