In red ink at a 45° angle. He’s basically a sovcit now.

Most power line adaptors say to keep it on the same circuit. The one I have is running a small VoIP phone and I don’t have issues with call quality.

$10-15 will get you an outlet tester at just about every home improvement store. You plug it in and the three big LEDs light up and you compare it with the sticker on the device. Get one with a GFCI tester built in, when you press the button it will short to ground and if your receptacle has GFCI protection or is on a GFCI protected circuit should trip the GFCI protection.

The delta-p videos are wild. The most popular being a crab sucked through a crack in a pipe, not a hole, but a crack no more than mm or two wide.

Her name was Abigail Taylor. She was 6.

Truly a heart-wrenching story. https://abbeyshope.org/abbeys-story/

Can you imagine being the inspector who missed this?

Reading a few articles. It sounds like this was inspected and passed before people got into the pool.

While there are significant regulations around intake pipes, including grates and/or having multiple intakes so that no single one can be completely obstructed to create a suction scenario where someone can be trapped, this particular pipe was found to be plumbed on the wrong side of the pump. It was sucking in water when it was supposed to be ejecting water.

This is serious for the hotel chain, franchisee, installer/contractor, and inspector. This had to fail so many checks to have occurred. It wasn’t a chance occurrence for someone to be sucked in and seriously harmed or killed with the way this was plumbed; it was a matter of time when someone was going to be seriously injured or killed.

Truly a tragedy, and I cannot for the life of me imagine the pain that family is going through right now.

Fallacy is a fault in logic, not a falsehood.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc (after it therefore because of it) is a fallacy. Or an appeal to authority is a fallacy.

I work IT for my day job managing a datacenter and cloud infrastructure.

I host mostly Plex, home assistant, and immich. Immich has its data backed up, I don’t care about Plex data. If it all dies, so be it.

I have a server coloed that houses some websites and email, plus some random other things I’ve setup and tested. It’s got backups, and downtime is fine.

If my self hosted stuff dies, it doesn’t matter. Nothing in my life ultimately relies on it.

Refrigerated or frozen items can’t be restocked, there’s no real way to tell how long they’ve been out of refridgeration. Hit em in the pocket books.

I’d love to see some way for this to encourage domestic production.

However, that wouldn’t work. Most of the bullshit we buy would still come from China or some third world country. And it’s not like the businesses importing the product would pay the tariffs themselves; they’d immediately tack the cost onto the retail price. They pass the pain into consumers and we get fucked instead of the multinational corporations.

For a lot of things, teachers are mandatory reporters. Certain topics get reported to CPS and authorities regardless of the child’s wishes.

Fortunately, they are pretty clearly defined around “a danger to self or others” and sexuality, gender identity, and pronouns don’t fall into that category.

Nah, I still think housing is a human right.

Send his ass to the projects though.

If she took a Xanax to relax before the flight and then had a Jack, she could be unaware of the integration between benzos and alcohol.

One drink can put you into black out territory on benzos.

I disagree on the duct tape of the mouth. There needs to be a better way to handle that than making it harder for someone to breath. Where they keep the zip cuffs, they should probably have a spit mask or something.

I’ll bring the nails

He was pretty good in Surf Ninja. Like a lot of people, he’s better when he’s just a supporting character.

When entrees are all up in the 30s versus in the 20s, it doesn’t matter if [customers] know that you are gratuity-inclusive.

I tip 10-15%, how are prices so much higher that then jump into the 30s for a meal? Most of my meals our, tip included, don’t hit the $30 threshold. I think that their prices, even accounting for tips included, were off.

“I think a lot of people don’t see the system as being broken, or anything. And a lot of people love tipping,” he observed. “They feel some kind of power.”

He thinks people like tipping because they have power? That’s kind of fucked.

They spend a bunch of time saying that the locations they included tips in payed $5-6 less per hour. How can they even say they ran a location with tips included if they didn’t even match the tipped wages? They overcharged for food and still didn’t pay the staff enough. I’d say that’s a lot of mismanagement rather than a failure of a no-tipping restaurant.

Here’s another core concept that places don’t seem to understand, if your business cannot make it without underpaying staff then you shouldn’t be in business. Someone else who can manage it will fill your gap in the market or the market will correct itself.
