My 5’x4’ bathroom has 3 seperate circuits feeding it. There is one circuit for the lights, one for the fan, and one for the single outlet in there. Those are the only things on those 3 circuits.

My basement has fully wired electrical outlets in the walls that were just sheetrocked over when the previous owner “finished the basement”.

My basement has an electrical outlet on every other stud throughout the whole thing; they are all on the same 15A breaker.

The the upstairs bedrooms are on seperate circuits except for one outlet on the north wall of each bedroom which both share the same seperate circuit.

I think my house was wired by M.C. Escher.

So I’m a first responder at my workplace. I’m literally a trained and certified medical professional. I got called for a coworker passing out a while back. I got there and they had the coworker now consious in one of our conference rooms along with the shift manager. The coworker was still feeling woozy so I start going through the assessment process.

This coworker was a young woman, I am a slightly less young man. I 100% get why the shift manager didn’t want to leave me alone with her. At the same time though, I am bound by HIPAA, the shift manager is not. I can’t disclose any medical information she tells me to anyone, the shift manager has no such restriction. So now I’m left trying to figure out how to ask my patient some rather personal medical questions with a lookie lou sitting right there listening to everything she says. That is invasive and uncomfortable when I’m asking about shit like her period (because low iron can be an issue) but becomes especially problematic when one of the questions I need to ask is if they’re using any drugs (I work in a manufacturing plant, it happens). I don’t record that they are if they say yes and I can’t tell anyone (I just monitor for a bit in case of OD and ensure they get a ride home), but nobody is ever going to say yes to that question with their bosses boss sitting right there. Luckily the shift manager eventually got called away for something and I had a brief chance to ask those questions.

Like I said, As a man I 100% get why they don’t want to leave me alone with women. At the same time though in situations like that it makes my job several times harder and is a potential legal disaster for me. It wouldn’t be an issue at all if I was treating a guy. Also it’s even more anoying because I’m fucking asexual. I get that they have no way to know that and people lie. I’m just pissed that situations like this get so complicated because the world is full fucking rapist assholes.

Nah, Ukraine has already shown the world how regular consumer grade drones can be used as very effective military grade weapons. No need for a roadside IED when you can fly the IED right to their face.

My new excuse is, “I only know linux, I don’t know anything about windows.”

They took the ebike into central park and got away on foot from there. I doubt they’re the one that rented the bike or if they did, they did it with fake info and a prepaid card. Once they got to central park they probably swapped into a new set of clothes out of that backpack and disapeared.

The man was a mass murderer. But because he wore a suit and did it from an office it was OK. If a gunman put down any other mass murderer noone would complain.

Nah, gotta go with a trainer with a nice and heavy but dull metal blade. That way you still have the pain of smashing your fingers to reinforce the training.

It’s just a betavoltaic cell using carbon-14. The science here isn’t really anything new outside of isolating that much carbon-14 and turning it into a diamond. Also it’s going to produce next to no power. With betavoltaics the more active the radiation source, the more power you get and the faster it depletes. Carbon-14 is radioactive but only barely. Considering even shortlived betavoltaics only produce microamps at less than 3 volts even when brand new, I’m guessing they had some really sensitive sensors in use here to even detect any power being output by the carbon-14 cells.

The authorities that should be doing that won’t because the system is broken. When the law does nothing then there is going to vigilante justice. If mass murderers like that executive were actually held accountable by our laws then there would be no reason for them to be shot in the streets. The fact of the matter is that they aren’t held accountable. They can do whatever they want and all the peaceful methods of changing that failed.
