The bit I saw had Birmingham Young say he thought of some of his wives as mothers and immediately get **** on by the guy he was talking to.

Yeah, I haven't been involved in renovating anything really old yet, but sometimes getting the power company to deal with their old infrastructure is a challenge.

Not really, at least on relatively new stuff. Circuit breakers have been the norm for as long as I've been working with electricity. I do see fuses in specific devices but they're glass and frankly design flaws, as a low voltage breaker (we're talking like 5 amps) exist and are more durable. Also you get guys who diy and slap in a 10 amp fuse to replace a 1.5, which ain't good. Pretty much a double pole is there for 230v circuits, ie two hots instead of a hot and a neutral, and often subpanels. If a device allows either 115 or 230, 230 will draw half the amps and use significantly less electricity. But you also run into needing gfci breakers (like 6x the cost and fail quicker) with 230 for some things, whereas a 120 could just use a gfci outlet. Not sure what yours runs, 125 amps sounds like it'd be used for a sizeable subpanel to me. In my experience, you'll never really know what each breaker does without tripping it and seeing what goes off. Half the time it isn't even labeled.

It should be 125 amp. Typically you don't want to go 75-80% over listed amps (so about 94) to avoid tripping a breaker. If you feel comfortable opening up the breaker panel, which in general I do not reccomend, you can use a clamp meter to check the amp draw of the breaker when running all devices it powers. If you don't feel comfortable doing that and have a pretty good idea of everything the breaker operates, you can check the listed amp draw of all devices powered by the breaker and compare that to the PC.

You didn't get any takers, I guess Russia aren't the only ones who aren't into making deals.

I think they're sliding that in as part of anti-abortion measures, personhood begining at conception is one of the main arguments used to argue for bans. I'm sure there are a handful of people shocked that banning abortion is something Trump and his gang will try for.

Damn, and here I am mad that it's set to hit 24 F tomorrow. Though I guess when your infrastructure isn't designed to handle cold (ie no insulation in the walls for pipes) and is crumbling anyways than it's going to hit different.

The Substance (2024) More than I should, I think of my younger self as a different person. Often with a jealous lens, like I could do better if I was 10-15 years younger and would have made different and better choices with who I am now. But that's all bull****. I'm still the same guy as 18 year old KP: prone to staying up later than I should because I got really into this or that, somehow both underthinking and overthinking everything, restarting every ****ing thing I do because I changed my mind or get annoyed by some insignificant nonsense so no progress is actually made, etc. I may be older and it materializes in different ways and through different lenses (ie "pruhsteege movees" instead of ****ty anime), but none of that has fundamentally changed despite that now I work out more, sometimes meditate (thanks David Lynch), and maybe have developed a modicum of discipline. What right do I have to look down on my past self? He may be a crazy ****up who should have worked harder and indulged less, but ultimately he got me to where I am today. All of that is still me, it's taken a lot of work to realize that and I think this film did help me in doing so. Lizzy Sparkle shoots herself up with god knows what to be able to live as an idealized version of herself for a week before going back to her "real" body. But Sue is Lizzy Sparkle, the separation of them is an illusion imposed by herself. Piloting the Sue body she doesn't do anything different than she did before, she just gains more interest because she's now back to being hawt (even though Elisabeth Sparkle looks much better than Dennis Quaid, which I believe is a point, if not THE point) in a society/industry where that is THE currency, especially for the ladies. Which causes her to develop a body dysmorphia when piloting the Elisabeth body, beautifully communicated with that makeup scene. This dysmorphia and her addiction to being "perfect" shatters her mind, creating the illusion of two people when in fact she's just one person riding the highs and withdrawals. As Sue she can't help but take more and more and more, as Elisabeth she keeps enduring the ravages on her body because it's worth it to chase that high, both are fundamentally addicts. The end sequence is how it ends, with your body being ravaged and your mind lost in the high. Easily one of the best movies of 2024 and the decade. The People's Joker (2022?) I remember @majestic and I once talking about how the irl version of Darmok would be stuff like anime and superheroes. This film is pretty much that concept come to life, hijacking Batman to communicate gender dysphoria via a shoestring budget multimedia cluster**** that comes together beautifully. Frankly I do not see why WB tied to sue over this, not only would no one believe that WB would actually make something that feels handmade like this, but it actually does a better job of generating interest than the vast majority of content sludge being pumped out by the 600-pound sisterwives company. It just feels really genuine, like beneath the audacity of portraying Batman as a guy who became Elon Musk after he who failed to get on a legally distinct SNL there's an emotional core to this film that hits well, because it is someone's real story.

Sadly I don't think that's gonna happen, Trump is letting all the neocons run foreign policy for him and those folks aren't really known for being conflict adverse. But maybe they'll get caught up trying to bring back nfts or something and forget to bomb the middle east for a month or so.

Yeah it can, but it's different kinds of damage and if we're lucky Trump and his gaggle of grifters get sidetracked enough by corruption and scams that harm their own people to prevent at least a little of their most malicious impulses aimed at more vulnerable targets. It certainly has a better chance than anything or anyone in government manging to do something.

I think Trump and his entourage being shameless grifters is a good thing, in that the relentless urge to make a quick buck sabotages them getting as dangerous as they could otherwise. Trump administration 2.0 is obviously gonna be pretty evil, but it's also gonna be laughably corrupt and incompetent where the people running it spend more time feuding with streamers or peddling "vaccine removal pills" (Kash Patel was hawking these along with any wine brand) to pursue the worst. Too perfect tbh.

Out of everything Trump will be doing over the next four years, constantly scamming his supporters like this is probably the most benign.

Less than 1 minute in and I already hate everyone involved.

It's got me real ****ed up, emphysema is also what got my dad.
