I'm leaning the science behind home electricity. I want to install an outlet in my bathroom for a bidet but I realized I didn't understand when and where I needed a GFI outlet. So I'm learning via a handful of books
Similarly, I want to add another outlet in the basement for my cats' automatic litter box.
I also just replaced my Nest doorbell with a "dumb" doorbell but the chime won't work. So I need to do some research on how the chimes work...
I haven't seen it mentioned but I enjoy channels like Solo Solo Travel - slow-TV style videos about public transportation. What food can you get on a first class flight from Tokyo to Australia? All the videos have zero commentary unless you turn on the subtitles.
I enjoy them a lot because they're very relaxing and make me feel very cozy.
My hot take? No, it's not
You'll never change a mind with cruelty. You are merely selfishly expressing your anger
Best case scenario, this person now feels bad about buying a Tesla, but is now stuck with the car. They will likely have to waste resources fixing it and it may happen again. Sure, you could assume they're rich and can afford to fix it but that wastes literal resources extracted from our planet to fix or replace the car. And if someone buys the used version they'll have the same problem and may not be quite as rich the next time someone vandalizes the car.
More likely scenario, you piss the owner off and they dig in deeper. That's just how humans work
I can find alternatives with enough effort, but I love me some heavy peated Scotch. The smokier the flavor the better
Good to know, thank you for the link
Well today is the day. I'm really hoping it's been all bluff and bluster but I'm thinking there's a slim chance of that
What VC money has Matrix taken? Genuinely curious
Replied in another comment, but I'll paste here as well:
She is straight in the book, for the most part. She has a male love interest and that's the only serious partner we hear about
The author uses the phrase "shared a bed" when talking about her trip to Oz with Glinda, but I'm honestly not convinced that isn't just literal bed sharing because they were traveling.

I've now finished the book and I can say I'm with you. It was dreadful. Slow, crass (in the wrong ways), and overly high and mighty, it was a slog just to get through it.
The number of times the author references a child's sexual development is insane. I don't need to know that the little boy got his first boner, Maguire, I really don't.
Urine is referenced at least once every five chapters. If it isn't, then we must reference feces. If neither are referenced then we're at the end of the book.
I thought the story was going to get good when Madame Morrible put them under the spell, but if anything it got worse after that. I thought it would get really fun and interesting and instead became a huge snoozefest.
What a letdown. I'm even more confused at how this became a musical than I was when I started
This is superb. My wife has been fediverse-curious ever since the election, and last night she created a Pixelfed account and was so disappointed her feed wasn't immediately filled with cool stuff. I tried to explain some of the points in this guide but I don't know if I did the most convincing job.
I'll send this her way and see what she thinks
That statement presumes knowledge of GFI that I did not have - load side means nothing to a layperson
