Practical Engineering video explaining why this is an inherently difficult task, even for a country that has the money to better maintain their grid.

I have a tattoo that means “I don’t know, I don’t speak japanese.” It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn’t speak the language.

I think that’s why they said between the maintenance cost and market price.

“And Russia’s internal security service, the FSB, recently said it foiled a Ukrainian plot to destroy its last remaining aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. The ship, launched in 1985, has been undergoing repairs since 2018.”

I hope Ukraine can still make this happen. That would a be huge win, even if the carrier is never functional and isn’t in the black sea. Imagine if Russia no longer even had a carrier. That’d be one way to put them in their place.

There are many causes of power surges. While one potential cause is poorly maintained equipment, that is far from the only cause. Things like lightning strikes, tree or storm damage, load fluctuations, or equipment faults can cause them. They happen quickly enough that the protective systems can’t always prevent damage to equipment downstream, but those systems are designed to protect the distribution equipment, not the loads themselves. Surge protectors are designed to protect your loads from surges and are important devices to protect sensitive equipment. OP is supposedly an electrical engineer, but this is either outside of their wheelhouse or they are just trying to jump on the enshittification bandwagon.

Then why would you imply that power surges are necessarily caused by shitty infrastructure and not by physics/nature/technical limitations/unpreventable system faults? Just to feed into the enshitification circle-jerk?

In Japan, I have 7 bins plus cardboard. Burnables, nonburnables, plastic, paper, cans, pet bottles, glass bottles.

The first two minutes of this video are very on point with this meme.

This article mentions 330 vehicles and 13 containers. By US military terms, that is absolutely nothing. Nothing compared to the equipment we keep stored and maintained in other locations. I feel like the article makes this seem more significant than it is. This is not even a drop in the bucket, let alone enough to call stockpiling as the article does.

Am I not more or less guaranteed to wake up on a Wednesday each week?

Do people really put that much thought into pet names? I’ve always thought it should be something that comes about organically, not something forced.

It’s a journey through time, when you do it that way.

OP doesn’t seem to be saying not to use reddit content, they are saying don’t use Reddit as the content. Post all the content you want from over there, but we don’t need to drag out the breakup by constant bringing up everything we dislike about reddit. OP is saying to move on with life.

“He just keeps losing”

I dislike Musk as much as any of you, but why is this in World News?
