Good post. I completely disagree with this opinion. Stoping traffic and holding up the lives of ordinary people is attacking the wrong target. We’re all out here in traffic, not because we want to be, but because we’re struggling to survive. Not all of us are on a frivolous trip to star bucks mate. Take your grievances to the court house, city hall, or a police station, hold up those people’s lives, shout at them. I have to pick up my kids before the daycare closes. Don’t protest at me, I’m not the one voting on legislation that keeps people in debt, funds foreign wars, and keeps people from having access to healthcare. Those of us stuck in traffic are not willfully ignorant of any of these problems, we’re just fucking helpless to do anything about them because the system is designed to keep us that way. Protesting on highways doesn’t accomplish what I assume is your goal, to educate people and get them to agree with you. It just makes them not like you and not want to support you in your cause.

Cure for this: start singing “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield. Works every time.

Emailing aside, how did the horse get into that position? Is he walking through a horse tunnel?

I humbly submit: https://www.amazon.com/History-Western-Philosophy-Bertrand-Russell/dp/1416554777/ref=asc_df_1416554777/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312669563714&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9994687081688973912&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1026339&hvtargid=pla-571103711685&psc=1

I’m US based. I’ve been to Mexico, Italy, and Ireland. I still feel like a dumb American that thanks of Europe like Disney land. Like it’s just a place to take vacations and not a place where hundreds of millions of people live and work and have complete lives.

I don’t feel well traveled at all.

I wanted to say fuse…

Fire sprinkler heads have a little glass vile filled with a glycerin based liquid holding the valve closed. When they heat up beyond a certain point, the liquid expands and bursts the vile, releasing the water from the sprinkler head. Note: only the sprinkler head exposed to the fire will dispense water, not the entire system as seen in movies. Also note: that water has been setting in an iron pipe for probably years and is absolutely disgusting.

Similarly, some commercial kitchens have a fuse-able link, which is a metal link in a chain made of some metal with a low melting point. When there’s a fire this link will melt and cause the roll up door between the kitchen and the rest of the building to slam shut.

After writing this I realize that it doesn’t necessarily answer the spirit of the question. But I guess these parts fail to protect the rest of the building, so maybe it does answer the question.

Same. I dig through my digital stack of games I bought on sale and will probably never play until I find the one I was looking for.

These are great write ups. Much appreciated.

Crazy awesome setup! I noticed you had an enphase inverter next to your electrical meter, I assume for solar panels. Would you mind giving details about that system? What size array do you have and how efficient has it been? How are you monitoring the solar systems output?

Love that label on the UDM Pro (router).

That’s a lot of instances.

Another symptom, every tutorial is a video now. I just want to read a quick 1 minute answer with no sound, not watch a 10 minute video and smash subscribe buttons.
