I feel like that depends on the spot. Sourdough is my favorite American bread, but I feel you when whoever prepares it overdoes the toasting. I've had my mouth straight bleed eating a club sandwich with the bread toasted too far.

I promise you will find more uses for additional freezer space.

And this is how you end up with multiple freezers lol

I'm going for a mix of 1, 3, and 5

Electricity. I'm a field electrician studying the engineering side.

Electricity is all about guiding voltage and current in a preferred direction as to do some form of work, whether it's producing light, turning a motor, or integrating into logic circuits to make your computer do tricks.

To keep yourself in the clear, don't touch the shiny bits.

Shit I haven't had a vacation in 3 years since my honeymoon, and mainly because 1) money, 2) time. I make decent money doing my own thing as an electrician, but costs have spiraled so far out of control that I'm working my ass off just to keep us afloat. I've been contemplating hanging that up and getting a job just to get healthcare and retirement, of which I can't afford if I want to stay competitive in my pricing.

There is no guaranteed paid time off here in the states, it's a "benefit" of whatever company someone works at (including federal holidays). And even then, many people are guilted into not taking their allocated time off for fear of very real reprisal (missing out on promotions, etc).

It's really fucked up and I don't wanna play anymore.

Little of this, little of that

the first thing I'd do would be login (cause it's necessary), enable adb, disconnect the internet, block firmware updates, and restrict dns then reconnect to the internet.

You have to realize maybe a small handful of people that own these devices will do any of that. They'll just plug in and go. Sure they may know how to side load, but they aren't taking any other preventative measures as you suggest, nor do they have the know-how to do so.

I'd imagine Amazon initiated these via firmware updates that just about anyone would blindly install. The updates probably included scripts to uninstall any "unauthorized" APKs, disable developer options, restore factory system settings, lock the user profile from modifying the system, etc.

I suspect that oil companies have CA over a barrel. Part of what makes fuel in CA so expensive is that CA requires a special blend be sold here, much of which is refined locally. That all said, I suspect that should the state actually impose these fines, the refiners would simply refuse to produce or artificially limit supply, sending prices and CA into a frenzy, the anger of which would be directed at the state. The refiners know this, and therefore the state has limited options to keep the peace.

Used existing pool panel on left, added contactor box on right. Left two contactors control pool and spa circ pumps and always on (no variable speed or hi/low legs on motor), coil controlled by emergency shutoff. Right contactor controls spa jet pump, activated by twist timer and same emergency shutoff. Spa jets are run through the right time clock to allow usage from 7am to 10pm. Left time clock is for lighting.

 

Our morning safety meeting definitely didn't involve us watching the apprentice look for the wire stretcher.

Electronic racking system; story goes that the previous guys didn't seem to like how it seated, so this was their 'solution.' Yes, those are 4x4s and a bottle jack.
