I’m sorry for not CWing as best I could last night, I was really at the end of my rope mentally. I’ll need to go and add that retroactively.
At least work will sort of keep my mind off things for awhile.
I’m worried about stuff in July of next year… I’m not sure if I’ll still be alive by then to be honest. Life is like flight 232 right now.
“United 232, you are cleared to land on any runway.”
“(laughter) You wanna be particular and make it a runway, huh?”
It feels like almost every single aspect of life is currently being pushed to a breaking point.
Billionaires and trillionaires are optimizing the machine so well, and just want more and more, and now it’s running so hard so fast it’s shaking itself apart.
So I’m not that worried anymore when my boss bitches at me about due dates. I think with polycrisis looming it’s ALL moving deck chairs around on the Titanic. People aren’t noticing until the icy water physically hits them.
I’m driving home.
Kid is bicycling on the wrong side of the road (going against traffic).
I pull across the median halfway into the other lane and slows down.
As I’m passing they FLINCH over and weave towards me!
I have this all on dashcam, I need to download that video just to see if this actually happened.
What the hell is wrong with people?!
Amazon, SHEIN, and Alibaba should have options to deliver your stuff straight to the Pacific Ocean Garbage Gye.
I’m surprised they don’t have a classic Super Soaker 100 on there.

So more detail my mom says browsers are throwing a security error. Those go away when the DNS setting is changed from AUTO to MANUAL (using Cloudflare 1.1.1.1) in iOS instead of OpenDNS on the router.
I’m wondering if the router somehow got hacked or hijacked?
It’s an ASUS, we keep it up to date, no default passwords, no remote access stuff.
I’m not a computer scientist my knowledge is really limited here. It’s a ASUS AX5400.
Closest Microcenter is two hours away…
Jesus this day gets worse and worse.
DNS somehow crapped out on the router at home. Was using opendns:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Seems like those stopped working?
Overriding DNS at the device with 1.1.1.1 worked fine. So bizzare. My bad to put the same service as the primary and secondary. That’s on me.
(Fortunately, by and large people I describe here like this are NOT friends with me on the Fediverse.)
When I’m sweating bullets, frayed nerves, and put in a search request and I get AI feedback, I’ve never seen the AI feedback:
▪️Chide me for being lazy and not “RTFM-ing” and not knowing what I’m doing
▪️Chide me for using an inferior OS or hardware
▪️Chide me for being poor and not having higher-spec equipment
▪️Give me snide joke or “skill issue” answers
It’s a lot like Sarah Connor’s monologue about the Terminator:
“The Terminator would never stop. It would never leave him. It would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine was the only one that measured up.”
People in this space who gleefully act like assholes shouldn’t be surprised when people stop coming to them.
Frankly I think this is an awful situation.
COROLLARY:
People should know how to do basic troubleshooting, and/or know how to as clearly as possible describe the problem they are having.
You know what fuck it scrungly 16x16 #pixelart #favicon #YCH for the NEXT FIVE DAYS

Do any of you guys use Wago lever-nuts for 400V and higher motor connections?
40 Calories per square centimeter
Also:
347V times root-3 is 600V. You’ve got three phases 120° apart from each other. Vector math stuff. Phasors.
So talking about circuit breaker voltage ratings for two seemingly identical three-pole circuit breakers:
▪️600V
▪️600Y/347V
My understanding is that the second “slash rated” breaker isn’t rated to handle the voltages on a 600V delta system, only on a solidly-grounded wye system (the 347V to neutral/ground, with 600V between any phases).
In a grounded wye system the highest voltage during interruption seen across one breaker pole is 347. Across two poles line to line would be 300 per pole. (300 * 2 =600)
In a delta system with no ground, if there’s one ground fault on a phase before the breaker (line side), and another ground fault occurs on a different phase after the breaker (load side), that -one pole- connecting them would need to interrupt fault current at 600V.
Oh yeah there’s probably going to be some future art with something like this.
Not dirty per se but probably still being a CW.
Pole dancing but it’s on the stack of ceramic insulators on the bushing connecting to a 500kV line.
It’s okay to be very cautious with folks, call out bad actors, but it’s also important to not be champing at the bit to trash people either.
(It’s hard to describe this, and lord knows I’m not guiltless myself, and I regret that.)
To quote an in infantry line from ARMA 3:
“CHECK your GOD-DAMN FIRE!!!”
Meet someone who sounds cool
Nice/fun
Adorable ‘sona
THEN you start getting subtle hints that they’re cozy with some alt-right stuff that immediately makes your hair (fur for a lot of folks here) stand on end
(This is nobody here, furry I saw who is mainly BlueSky)
I’m sorry I wasn’t serious about a four-phase system using two two-phase systems with 90° phase shifts! #electricalengineering
