When we bought our house, it had a lovely patterned wooden floor, that very badly needed to be redone. We had just bought a house, so money was tight.
So I spent 4 days on my knees, scraping out a million meters of little groove with a paint scraper, because there’s no real way to do that. I’m never doing that again.
Austria-Hungary was a LOT bigger than just the Carpathian Basin. Though that was part of it.
Unfortunately, quite a lot of people disagreed. Repeatedly.
Yeah but… I don’t remember ever seeing this.


Hmmm, I’m not an electrical engineer, and really not a line worker, but I do workplace safety for a living. I was sure you’re wrong, but it is indeed not listed anywhere in the sector’s risk inventory here. I stand very corrected.
There is a generic “Make the site safe from both ends” risk mitigation though, and it makes sense that you take the same measures no matter what the source of the potential risk. Doesn’t matter if the cause is “all the solar panels” or “Some absolutely moron did things wrong several decades ago” or just plain “shit broke yo”.
What game is this from?


My only flipphone was the original RazrV3, and that thing was completely indestructible.


In fairness, I think there are probably a lot of white-collar people who could survive in the trades, but very few would actually thrive.
Most people currently in the trades aren’t thriving either.


We built most of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afsluitdijk
Which counts for quite a lot


And also why they shut down without powet in the socket.
All solar systems do that, which is a good thing! It prevents lots of dead powerline workers. But that’s not the only reason, solar converters need to “tune” their AC frequency to that of the grid. No grid? Nothing to match. No power.
It’s also why, if you want a stand-alone system, you don’t just need a really big breaker between your house and the grid, but also a different type of converter entirely.


One big problem with plug in solar (or batteries) is that they deliver more power than should be available, behind the fuses.
With an 800W panel, an appliance could draw about 3.5A more before tripping the breaker, which can cause problems.
It’s not very likely, but it’s also not the case that governments are just reluctant for no reason. These things being installed poorly is also quite a problem, Germany has had more than a few smashing down from a balcony.


There are lots of parties where I don’t speak with my partner at all, but we’ve been together for nearly 15 years. That’s not how it works in your first… I dunno, three years?


There are absolutely legit reasons to leave someone behind on a hike.
And I’ve heard zero of them in these stories from women.


Almost like the initial state of the Soviet military was a wholly avoidable condition imposed by a dictator for his own safety, not the polity’s.
I mean, at least they learned from it. It’s not like Russia has been keeping an absolutely gigantic part of their military purely as a palace guard to soothe the leaders somewhat justified paranoia about a coup. Right?


Jesus will come to bring a sword, which he will then beat into a plowshare and send bears to maul you to death.


Except they stabbed themselves in the back. And I don’t think they’re making it up


Private YHΩ.AR.U looks pretty cute though. She has great skin and the right number of fingers. Just my type!
Chives, on the other hand, mostly make the owner of the cat sick with annoyance.
Now why would a hexbear user make an alt in Blahaj…
