  • Or you could just use thicker wires like everyone else, or drop the use of ring mains, which is the actual reason why fuses in plugs were introduced. The reason why this was done was post-WW2 copper shortage. In other countries you'll see more likely star type circuit

  • I think that type A plug would be greatly improved in terms of safety and mechanically if it was put in a grounded metal shroud, in style of DIN connector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector it still would be compact, smaller than type F

  • is TRPV3 even involved in any way because last time i've checked some of best evidence points in direction of TrkB

  • UK uses type G. Type E/F plug has both contact for grounding pin like in type E and two sliding ground contacts on side like in type F. Sockets are either E or F, and i've mostly seen E

  • no, because it'll just trip fuse, and stoves are wired directly anyway

  • C/E/F also have shutters, probably more types do that too

  • Type E and F plugs are not really a thing anymore, today it's more common to find combined Type E/F plugs.

    Fuses in british plugs are a mistake and only a requirement because of sketchy practices allowed in british electrical code immediately after WW2. Nobody else does that because nowhere else electric code is built in such a way that it is necessary. Switch seems to be mildly useful tho

  • with wood, the problem was with lignin which is tightly crosslinked, meaning that it's insoluble and organism willing to eat it has to secrete some enzymes to break it down in smaller bits that can be absorbed

    depending on plastic, this first step might be easier or even happening on its own. there are already bacteria that feed on nylon but nylon starting materials are easier to digest for them

  • llms allowed them to glide all the way to the point of failure without learning anything

  • you can have liquids with low surface tension that don't evaporate immediately (water + soap)

  • helical antennas work fine too and look goofy as hell

  • i've used the same (800ml can) and this one works well. cookie tin is 15cm dia 8cm tall and it works, but size can vary a bit. you can copy or scale slightly designs of 13cm band antennas

  • wait i thought for some reason that pringles can sized waveguide would have cutoff frequency above 2.4ghz. nevermind, there's something better because bigger aperture can get you more directivity like this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html i made two out of cookie tins and it works over 500m at least

  • pringles can is too small for 2.4ghz cantenna, it's near cutoff frequency but just barely, you need 10cm-ish diameter can or shorter 16cm-ish can

  • if someone is so bad at a subject that chatgpt offers actual help, then maybe that person shouldn't write an article on that subject in the first place. the only language chatgpt speaks is bland nonconfrontational corporate sludge, i'm not sure how it helps

  • in one of these preprints there were traces of prompt used for writing paper itself too

  • maybe it's to get through llm pre-screening and allow the paper to be seen by human eyeballs

  • nah, what happened is that they were non-psychotic before contact with chatbot and weren't even usually considered at risk. chatbot trained on entire internet will also ingest all schizo content, the timecubes and dr bronner shampoo labels of the world. learned to respond in the same style, when a human starts talking conspirational nonsense it'll throw more in while being useless sycophant all the way. some people trust these lying idiot boxes; net result is somebody caught in seamless infobubble containing only one person and increasing amounts of spiritualist, conspirational or whatever the person prefers content. this sounds awfully like qanon made for audience of one, and by now it's known that the original was able to maul seemingly normal people pretty badly, except this time they can get there almost by an accident, getting hooked into qanon accidentally would be much harder.

  • japanese have 100v and don't have this problem

  • you shouldn't mix alcohol and zopiclone mate you're gonna die from this
