I don’t want to donate to Mozilla, I want to donate to Firefox. I can donate to Mozilla, but little if any money would go to firefox, instead it goes to various causes unrelated to web browsers.

Code allows painting the white conductor black which is what i do. Or at least it did 10 years ago when I last checked.

Running more than one outlet on a 220 circute is generally against us codes. It will work but don’t do it.

I have a phev with only 30 miles of range - ofen I get home with a nearly dead battery and need to leave again soon - I want faster charging. I’m sure someone with 200 miles of range can be fine on 110 volt slow charging as there likely enough time over a week that it works.

Jellyfin is on his nas which we assume has more power.

That is what it means to be a liberal: you respect people who are different than you to as large an extent possible. (there are limits - I don’t respect cannibal cultures …)

That is my culture. Why do you have so little respect for my culture as to think I should follow your values?

I have seen variations of this debate in letters from around 100. I’m sure it goes back much farther.

Yet the vast majority fail after you account for expenses.

Sure, then they go watch the garbage anyway. Often until very late at night if I don’t take away their school device that I can’t lockdown…

That is the easy part. my kids piano lessons track which is next and their practice, then the video is embedded. it also doesn’t work on the roae unless I get a vpn.

How do I has a parent curate content? I have not found anything that lets me allows the good. Either I block youtube completely, or I get what google decides is good for my kids (which blocks things I find good while allowing the bad)

I wish there was a way to filter youtube. I can block it completely on my firewall, but how do I let my kids watch their piano lesson without getting sucked into something they shouldn’t see?

That is still better for both the environment and safety than everyone going to the store seperately in their own car. (Transit or walking of course are still better yet).

Aluminium is very commonly used. It isn’t near as good a conductor as copper, but you can easilly use more toeget results and in most cases that works fine.

The reason we stopped using aluminimun more is it is relly tricky. when you tighten a screw the al deforms over time and so you don’t get a lasting connection. Al also corrodes to a non conductive state. Many house fires were traced to al wiring in just the few years it was common. We can mitigate all the above issuses but it takes care and so copper is preferred despite al being much cheaper.

Unplugged vs plugged in is moving the goal posts. I agree that a device that isn’t plugged in is less likely to start a fire (while not impossible, it is very very unlikely), but that is a different situation.

No, it is when not charging you need to worry. When charging odds are you are there and so if it starts to burn you will smell it and take action before it starts a larger fire. When you are not charging you might not even be home and thus the fire will spread.

When things are normal the charger will not burn. When something goes wrong you have to worry. Most of the time you are not charging.

100% is the typical claimed number as it is easy to measure watts of electric in and find that is exactly equal to watts of heat out - or if not the difference is easially explained by measurement error. There is no hypothesis (much less theory!) of where the energy could go it it isn’t heat and conservation of energy is enough to also decide 100% efficient.

The above isn’t the whole story though. If you could somehow measure watts from the power plant output you would discover that 4-12% (depending on a bunch of factors) of the energy is lost before it even gets to your house and so your efficiency goes down. If you measure fuel into the power plant, those range for 10% (old systems from the 1920s only run in emergencies) to 60% (combined cycle power plants) - I’m not sure how you would measure wind and solar. Eventually the universe will die a heat death and 0% long term.

I have had to do that - so now you have heard of someone… My house was built in 1973, some of the outlets in locations I believe previous owners would have plug/unpluged often have worn out, and thus I had to replace them. (think kitchen appliances or vacuum cleaners - the same outlets I’m using all the time). There other other outlets that still work, but they don’t grip plugs as well as they should anymore and I am planning to replace. Despite the above, the vast majority of outlets I’ve replaced have been perfectly fine, but with young kids around I wanted modern TR outlets anywhere the kids are likely to be playing.

Part of a useful language is a library of various utilites. If the library is behind a license you cannot accept the library may as well not exist - and thus the language is less useful.

when you fire a gun scratches are left on the bullet that are enough of a unique fingerprint to trace to the gun.
