It absolutely does. Typically, all 4 wheel speed sensors are polled and averaged, so unless you’re doing lots of extended 4 wheel burnouts, you’re talking an incredibly small margin of additional error.

At a minimum they went along with it. “I was just following orders” is never an acceptable answer.

I mean, that’s what chaff is.

Nah, he’s definitely been to Epstein’s Island

Well, it certainly explains a lot about SpaceX’s success…

The Lightning has also been out for a few years now, so it’s not the “new” thing. Also, I feel like half of those cYbErTrUcK purchases were people trying to resell them.

AGM are absolutely awful compared to even the absolute worst lithium batteries, and won’t last long at all if regularly cycled below even 50% SoC. LFP chemistries are a bit worse for energy density compared to NCA/NCM chemistries, but they don’t contain any nickel or cobalt, and won’t autoignite in the same way other chemistries will. Absolutely ridiculous they’re suggesting lead batteries over better lithium options.

Wait, seriously? I figured they used a much more power hungry bulb! I’ve wanted to get one for a while but I’m always so concerned about energy efficiency I’ve held off buying one because I figured it was like 150W

The story of the filmmaker is probably one of the funniest true crime stories I’ve ever heard. Obviously, the murder itself is incredibly tragic, because that shitstain literally just catfished some random guy and murdered him in cold blood purely to stroke his ego, but the story literally feels like a dark comedy.

However, the dude thought he was basically Dexter and far more intelligent than he actually was. He wrote a fucking screenplay describing himself as this super genius sex machine, while documenting his crime in great detail and claiming it was just a coincidence the murder lined up almost identically. Then the way he tried to cover his tracks were so comically inept, it only made his guilt even more obvious.

Unfortunately, these actually might not show if the GFI is working, and might give a false negative.

If there is no equipment ground, the outlet must be labeled as such, but it is allowed by code so long as protected by GFI. However, since all these testers do is shunt hot to ground, if there’s no ground connected, it won’t work and appear if the GFI is not working. However, assuming it’s working, it will still do its job, since it they protect against ALL current leakage, and not just ones through the outlet’s ground path (otherwise they’d be pretty useless).

I had a “landlord special” where they extended an old 2 wire box with no ground, and my PC case shocked the fuck out of me after I had the carpet cleaned and was walking on the damp floor. A ground would likely have dissapated that bit of current leakage, but also a GFI would have probably tripped when I touched it. They weren’t willing to run a new wire with a ground because, unsurprisingly they were cheap fucks, but I convinced them to install a GFI for safety at the very minimum.

Also worth noting that these things are easy to fool for ground, since it’s bonded to neutral, and shitty electricians will tie them together at the outlet to trick the tester into seeing a “ground” when it’s actually neutral. It’s dangerous as fuck, and the only way to check is by taking the plate off and seeing if the outlet is properly wired.

the implosion mechanism to initiate the chain reaction compressed it to about half the volume.

Y’know, I’ve done a lot of “hobby research” into nuclear weapons, but never really did the math on the degree to which the pit was compressed. Just on an intuitive level, it’s already a bit difficult to fathom solids compressing, but not unreasonable to imagine. However, in my head it was like, a couple percent at most. Forcing a solid ball of insanely dense metal into a space half of what it originally was just blows my mind even more.

Ah, I guess I meant that you’re getting 2 of the 3 phases, which is 208V phase-to-phase, or 120V phase to neutral.

Residential service is a single split 240v phase off of a 480V 3-phase line, while something like an apartment is 2 phase 208Y, with a single phase is 120V.
