The book Hatchet opened my eyes to this. One of the really early scenes in the book is the main character getting absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes at dusk. That scene scares me…

It certainly is well optimized. It can run all of creation on what? Not a single bit of computational power (that we can tell), it just works!

The graphics are overrated, there’s no artistic flair whatsoever. I mean can you tell me who the lead for that was? Cause everybody and their mother has a different answer. It’s so unrecognizable and generic that people misattribute the credit all the time.

100% done this before. Took a nap, woke up a few hours later and thought I was way late for work the next morning. I panicked to get ready, then woke up a bit more and realized it was still the same day…

Currently replying from bed because I don’t have the energy to make myself get up

They never claimed that nuclear is bad, they claimed that the Chernobyl disaster has already negatively impacted the land enough, mining would only make it worse

Southern?

Its either that, or it was once used and got abandoned. Either way I can’t help but laugh at a meaningless box, even if it makes more sense to just abandon it than go through the effort of tearing it out

The hell is that electrical box doing… there’s only one conduit coming into it, and it doesn’t have a device on it… why does it exist??

Lemmy do it for you

You uh… may have accidentally just called him a fool. Gesture would be correct

Yes, kitchens, family rooms, dining rooms living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation rooms, closets, halways, laundry areas, and “similar areas” all require AFCI protection for homes. A bathroom would be GFCI protected, but does not have to be AFCI protected. A kitchen will be both. A hallway will be AFCI protected, but does not have to be GFCI protected.

Edit: should also clarify that this is according to the most recent version of the codebook, 2023. So this list only applies to brand new homes in areas where the 2023 version has been adopted. It’s likely it’s the same or similar for previous iterations, but I’d have to look back through a lot of versions of the codebook to see so uh… eh

We’re Americans, we do things illogically here

In seriousness though, I’m not really sure. I would guess, like most things, money is the answer. The codebook we electricians use specifies what needs to be GFCI. You can always go above that, and make everything GFCI, but you don’t have to. If you’re bidding a job, you can estimate higher to have GFCI protected everything, but the customer is almost always going to go for the cheaper price, so why bother?

I am an electrician, but this is mostly my speculation and me talking out of my ass so uh… take it with a grain of salt.

Can’t even use a photo of your countertop, there’s living things there!

S because all of my games are on the S drive. Checkmate!

I live here! There aren’t many residential areas within half a mile of the site, the “downtown” area of Cleves is about a mile away, so the biggest damage to me personally is just that the grocery store is closed… hopefully it stays that minor, and goodluck to those who did have to evacuate

Edit: as of at least 6:30 PM, the roads are opened back up and evac order lifted. Just drove through there, still trucks and workers all around it, but seems to be wrapping up without too much incident that I’ve heard of anyways

Humans are bad, they cause murders. We’re better off without them.

Now this is some masterful storytelling, fantastic read, and thank you for sharing

It isn’t, .to was the official site. If you look at the about page, they even call themselves .to a couple times where I assume they forgot to change their copy and paste

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about
