Rikkitic:

In Tampa Florida someone apparently tried to get a boa constrictor on a plane as an 'emotional support' animal. Elsewhere, a six year-old shot a teacher during an argument. America is clearly W.T.F. crazy land!

I don't think they are more crazy than Kiwi's we just don't have access to Snakes and Grenades as easily. :)

I've seen and heard stuff in NZ that really makes me wonder....

America, the world's largest free-range lunatic asylum.

SomeoneSomewhere:

Seemed pretty much like TERFology to me. Not everyone fits nicely into left/right buckets.

I first had to look up what TERF means. What are all the abbreviations for segregation and exclusion these days? 🤨

- NET: FTTH, OPNsense, 10G backbone, GWN APs, ipPBX
- SRV: 12 RU HA server cluster, 0.1 PB storage on premise
- IoT: thread, zigbee, tasmota, BidCoS, LoRa, WX suite, IR
- 3D: two 3D printers, 3D scanner, CNC router, laser cutter

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

Wait... is he only considering 6yo and not e.g. 5 or 7?? And only considering school shootings?

Toddlers in the U.S. average one shooting per week this year - and that's only counting cases where they shot someone (mostly themselves), not where they just fired a bullet into the ground.

That refers to accidental shootings only. The one I cited did it on purpose. He was trying to blow his teacher away. It gives a whole new meaning to 'six-shooter'.

Today's Aliexpress find, a 6,800 watt car audio amp. This means it'd draw over 500 amps from the battery when running.

Presumably you power it by shining a 3,000,000 lumen LED torch onto a 10kW portable solar panel.

Edited to add: Just noticed it was a Class A/B, so you're looking at more like 800 amps.

Ahh yes the old "peak power output" scam.

The RMS value is what the truth is and that is 120W into a 4 Ohm load per channel , or 480W total RMS.
