Banned from cornhub? Might as well give up the internet entirely, what else is there?

According to the image on Wikipedia depicting the plates, there would then be 17 continents, although some of those 17 would be entirely ocean, or only small islands

Made a deal with a demon to finally get the thing straight

Lemmy do it for you

Its just a photoshop of the serious cat meme, no cats were harmed in the making of this meme... probably

When I can see Jupiter, I always say "Jupiter is with us!!" It's going to be depressing when it's no longer out in the mornings before I go to work. Hopefully Saturn or the Moon can keep me company instead

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

Well thats the thing, you don't know about all the "good enough" things, you know when they fuck something up and it doesn't work. Then curse their name as you have to redo it...

On my jobsite, working in new construction, we still complain a lot about what the people before us did. Everybody on the crew is a competent electrician, yet we still have plenty of times where we look at the most experienced electrician there and think "wth was he thinking??"

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.

Every time I see a dremel, I wonder... what if?
