How did you hear negative chirps?

Can I learn this power?

If it is UL listed, and installed properly: yes.

Installed properly means that the wire feeding it is sized properly and all connections are torqued to spec.

If listed receptacles weren’t designed for use at their rated amperage, then there’s no point of getting it tested and listed by an independent laboratory, and there would be many more electrical fires in factories than there are.

The problem is that most people will just slap the absolute cheapest shit they can find together however they feel.

Nothing a jumper wire can’t fix

That what I’ve told all my girlfriends. They’ve all said I have beautiful eyelashes and they want to know if I do anything to them.

I have literally never touched an eyelash besides wiping one out of my eye.

When I had shoulder length hair, I washed it with head and shoulders every other day and never got split ends.

Now some of that is probably genetics, but also I do think that so many beauty products that women are sold is designed to keep them buying shit to “fix” things that their body will eventually fix on its own. Humans didn’t evolve washing their hair with 3 different soaps every day. Hair just kind of takes care of itself, and the only thing that might need fixing is dandruff.

Or, and hear me out, make a list.

My wife shops like you, and it drives me fucking nuts.

I make a list organized by type of food. Bread and pasta are often close to each other in stores. Canned fruits are all in the same aisle. Produce is all together. What ever we need from each section is organized. I can buy food for both of us for a week in 45 minutes, and that includes waiting in the line.

My wife has the compulsion to look at everything, regardless of the list we made. She also has ADHD and time blindness, and will not acknowledge that we cannot go to 5 different stores and shop her way at each one, and go home and make dinner, and play a game together, and do chores. I love her to death but sometimes it can be exhausting.

The safety is built in.

A 50 amp circuit should only be loaded to 80% of its rated load for continuous use (the NEC defines this as anything longer than 3 hours). So 50X0.8=40A is safe to draw for longer than 3 hours. The 20% buffer is there to account for load increases like the inrush current from a dryer heating element kicking on and off, or the motor starting and stopping.

Any receptacle rated for a 50 Amp circuit will also meet this requirement if installed properly. If you’re doing this shit, but a fucking torque wrench, because this shit does have torque requirements.

How does it feel to be objectively wrong?

I have a golden retriever puppy, a Labrador, and 2 cats.

When I hear loud unexpected noises, I wait until I’m mentally prepared for seeing whatever they fucked up. Sometimes that means it will wait for an hour or more if I didn’t hear any glass. The puppy is getting better at not rough housing inside, but she’s still very young and energetic.

My house could be haunted as shit and I’d still blame the animals. Anyone who immediately thinks “Ghost!” Or “Robber!” Clearly has never owned pets.

You’re not a real water connoisseur unless that good crisp water gives you the fizz.

So congress is wasting tax payer money by hosting a meeting to bully an old cancer patient and private citizen.

Our government is as respectable as a your average conspiracy podcaster.

And until there is an actual free online forum that no single entity pays to host, private companies can do whatever the fuck they want.

I mean, it is hard to defend blatantly illegal shit

Given his track record, it would do nothing to you, but randomly kill an African child or endangered wildlife instead.

The awful Trump branding might be laser engraved in America.

Everything else is guaranteed made in Taiwan or china. The US was just barely getting its semiconductor industry back under Biden.

If these things ever ship, I can’t wait for someone to crack one open just to find a bunch of Chinese parts.

My wife is Mexican-American. She was born here, and I fear that call. ICE is rounding up everyone that they “suspect” is undocumented. I’m afraid that she’ll get picked up and lost in the system before I can bring proof of citizenship.

What ICE is doing is evil. I can’t believe this is my country after only a few months, and I fear what will happen in a few years.

Historical nitpick just because of history and not for any nefarious reason.

You mention a rag stuffed into the bottle. This is inaccurate to what the Finnish, who invented the device, did.

A rag stuffed into a bottle is easily snuffed out, and the user of the device risks spilling flammable liquid on themselves when throwing the device.

The fins, historically, tied a rag around the neck of a bottle that was sealed. The rag was exposed to air and can burn steadily, and the sealed bottle makes handling much safer. When thrown, the bottle or jar will still break and spread the liquid, and the steadily burning rag will ignite them.

Do with this knowledge what you will.

And always remember that Hollywood has a legal interest in showing you non viable ways of making destructive devices. Always think about the most practical way to do something, regardless of how you’ve seen it in movies.

I see you’ve never been outside of America.

It is possible for there to just not be something. It’s called no one grew it or ranched it or imported it because most people are priced out of buying it.

But good luck with praying to the market, I’m sure that will go well.

I’m just wondering who’s using a physics textbook from before the Industrial Revolution.

Let’s say you go to a non violent protest with perfectly good intentions. You bring your phone to communicate and take pictures/videos.

Someone in the crowd gets rowdy, or has an agenda to make the protest look violent. They throw a rock at a cop, or a Molotov on a car. The cops gather cell data, and now you’re a person of interest in a riot or, lately, a terrorist act. You could have booked it as soon as you heard the commotion. But the phone proved you were there, and it’s gonna be a fight to prove you did nothing wrong.

How much does an ICE agent make?

Does a government job pay well enough that they can afford their grocery bill doubling? I have a government job, and I’m thinking of leaving to start my own thing, because I can anticipate that we’re not going to be able to afford to eat for much longer. The selection of produce in stores is already getting worse.
