I torrent on my media PC and stream from there.

I think that Will Smith is pussy whipped by his wife and Scientology. I think she uses the church against him, with the threat that they will take his kids away and hide them from him. That’s the only explanation I have for his (slightly delayed) response with Chris Rock, and with Will being ok with his wife grooming their son’s underage friend and later having an open relationship with him on the side.

The more I look at it I think it might be a 132kV line on a 400kV tower, with the intention to upgrade it some time in the future. I say this because the insulators aren’t actually the full length of the spacing from the tower, there’s a separator between the tower and the start of the insulator fins. This makes me think they’ve left room for longer 400kV insulators to be installed.

Saying that though I have no idea, there could have been all sorts of other considerations that led to a configuration like that.

That pun was totally intended, and I cannot fault you for it.

I was thinking 132kV, but wasn’t sure if this is Europe where you might find 100kV (although again it varies by country). In the UK, 132kV is the boundary between distribution and transmission. DNO’s (Distribution Network Operators) generally use 11kV, 33kV, 66kV (generally rare but used in some areas eg in North West England) and 132kV, TNO’s (Transmission) use 132kV, 275kV and 400kV. Although, a lot of 275kV substations are built to 400kV spec (eg in Scotland), so that they can upgrade in the future.

You sometimes get this with power lines, they might install higher voltage insulators then run it at a lower voltage until some time later when the network is upgraded. This spoils the game of guess the voltage/makes it more challenging, and you end up with really weird looking connections between large pylons and small poles.

Fun fact: You can estimate the voltage by the length of the insulators. My guess is this is around 100kV (2x 3 phase circuits), around the border of transmission and distribution voltages.

You can also estimate the capacity by the number of conductors per phase. This has a pair of lines for each phase, so a fair chunk, but not the 3 or 4 conductors you sometimes see (although maybe you mainly see that on higher transmission voltages.

I don’t think it’s you being paranoid, however at the same time your husband is perhaps more on the front line of things, so should have a better idea.

I would say that as a journeyman lineman he’ll be pretty decently qualified and probably wouldn’t have as hard a time finding work abroad. It might be a tough sell with lower salaries on paper, but you often find that the standard of living improves and makes it more than worthwhile.

Maybe it isn’t, but I just find it hard to believe the obsession with Merrivius on r/comics is completely natural.

The artist is Merrivius https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/elf-comic/list?title_no=983708

Elf girl is bottom left, the artist begins with M. Their comics are really popular on r/comics.

Edit: The artist is called Merrivius https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/elf-comic/list?title_no=983708

Shots fired lmao I bet this tanked on reddit, they’re obsessed with their elf girl (and that totally isn’t astroturfed).

Nah it would have cost the city the same regardless, you’re just talking about how much the civils business pays its workers.

Most likely this would have been part of a larger project of installing cycle lanes in various places. But it still would have been expensive, civil contractors are notorious.

Ologies is one of my favourites. The host Alie Ward is always so enthusiastic, and the guests always seem to genuinely enjoy being on her show far more than others.

I think this may have been on the Ologies podcast recently, the dog was too excited and playful for a police dog, but that was perfect for poop sniffing.

You could always take the performance hit and install it on a virtual machine. I’ve even heard of people who have an APU (CPU and GPU on the same chip) along with a discrete GPU, or just two GPU’s, and they run the base operating system on the weaker GPU then run the VM and dedicate the entire good GPU to it, which gets near to bare metal performance allegedly.

I prefer this song about the drawer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIIdTcWIUOk

In Yorkshire they call this a rammel drawer

In WW2, the UK ran on double DST. +2 in the summer, +1 in the winter.

+1 is better all round.

should just go see if there is a porn version of Gattaca

Best I can do is the movie Gattaca hosted on a porn site.

There isn’t so much an ideal size that everyone should aspire to, rather you should find someone that fits you. It’s best when the sheath fits the sword.

I don’t think he quite did that, actually. From memory he ran a few “shops”, but these didn’t really sell anything and were just download portals to install pirated games directly from the internet (rather than downloading to a PC first and then copying to an SD card or installing over USB). However, I think he did take donations for early access to new titles, which would have been hard to get elsewhere at first.
