Lighting a fire at the bottom of a pit seems like a good way to suffocate as the fire burns all the oxygen and the rising heat blocks fresh air from sinking.

Also if it's more than just a few feet deep it'll always be the same not-freezing temperature from geothermal heat.

I bet the drawing is actually depicting a cliff, not a pit.

If you're not sure if it's wired right, here's a simple test: stick your finger in it. To ensure an accurate result, you'll need to compensate for geography. In the Americas: if your arm jerks around a bit and you feel funny, you did it wrong. In Europe, it's even easier. Just check if you're dead or just dead inside like usual. If you're dead, you need to swap the wires around. For India and Africa, don't bother with the test at all, there's no enforced electrical code anyways.

Many multimeters have a setting where they'll beep if you touch the two probes together (or if there's nothing but wire between them, i.e. an electrical short). Use that setting. If yours doesn't have it, use the ohms setting (Ω) instead. Tap the probes together to see what a short looks like.

Make sure the power is disconnected first or you'll brick your multimeter (or best case blow a safety fuse inside it).

Nothing to see here, he's just Canadian

Cat.

I read the title backwards at first and thought it was a ramen dispenser at some kind of horrible mouthwash drinking facility

I would have done a chargeback.

When Apple bought them out I noticed the forecast quality took a dive. It used to be accurate within a minute or two for rain and within a couple degrees for temperature but then it just started being wrong to the point I stopped trusting it.

SCP-3008 has breached containment

Stainless steel is stainless steel, galvanized steel is steel with a zinc coating. Stainless is much more expensive but also more resistant to corrosion than galvanized, which costs almost the same as normal steel.

Next time just use eBay's buyer protection, geez. Don't go to sketchy houses!

Debt generally dies with the debtor. So it's basically not a problem. Make the minimum payments for a few years, then just die.

Well, he won't need to worry about paying his student loans in a couple of years.

I want them to print an entire rocket because then I can take those designs and print a really tiny rocket at home.

IIRC the Framework has a touchscreen connector just in case, but don't quote me on that.

Technically trial by combat is still an option in the US court system. This is because it was legal in Britain when the US declared independence, and the British laws/precedents were mostly kept as-is. Britain outlawed it a few decades later but that didn't change the now seperated laws in the US.

Nobody's ever specifically outlawed trial by combat in the US because only a few people have ever tried to use it, and those people were told to shut up and just pay their traffic tickets.

The Catholic Church is less likely to harm a child than the streets or foster system, which is so rife with abuse the Simpsons did a whole episode about it.

The Catholic Church still does have orphanages like they did in the middle ages. But nowhere near enough for all the kids.

Kinda sus that both you and u/Crafty_Spring_4415 mentioned the same image editing website in your photo caption/description, and both of them read like an ad.

The NEC doesn't apply though because it covers things like building wiring and doesn't regulate stuff users plug in to that wiring later.

It doesn't make sense anyways. You'd have to also argue that I'd face building code violations if I gifted someone a no-brand power strip from Aliexpress, because I guarantee a lot of those aren't UL listed.

OP's devices would likely be an OSHA violation, but that just means they can't be used in a workplace.

Basically, this is legal because it's not covered by the NEC, it's not in OSHA's jurisdiction, and UL listing isn't required by law.

I've seen desk lamps with built in 120v outlets in several hotels.

Also, nearly all UL listed power strips use stranded wire.

So I'd hazard a guess that it doesn't really matter.

Our kitchen sink is cast iron with white enamel. Heavy, but looks good and wipes down clean.

I use Keepass, it has a standard format for password databases so a lot of tools and apps exist to read a Keepass database. I make sure (via various methods) that all my computers and phones and backups have a copy of my password database.

I only have the Keepass password memorized, and a couple of my computers use that password for their full-disk encryption (because if you get past that, I'm screwed regardless of if you have my passwords). Basically, unless you take down my computers, my phones, and a couple backups in undisclosed locations, I won't lose any of my passwords.

So I don't even know my bank or email login. Worst case, I can just go to the bank and have them reset it in person. And my email is hosted on a private server I own (in an undisclosed location), so I could physically go to the datacenter and plug a keyboard in to regain access.

Fun fact, "holiday" is a religious term. It's literally just a lazy way of saying "holy day".

The U.S. can shoot down missiles with lasers. That much power can definitely kill a person at range.
