  • Well there’s cost. Think about how many outlets in an office or home.

    You may not understand the engineering of “UL” or safe switches because they would have to have full current of a short going through them, you have arcing, lifetime toggles, the ozone weakening the molded plastic, etc.

    With most outlets (receptacles) there is a solid copper bar that goes from the wall wires to the part that pushes against the prongs of the plug. With a switch it’s slightly more complicated and would you only break the hot? What if someone wired outlet backwards?

    Sure you could make every plug involve a fuse, circuit breaker, arc fault, GFCI, and a switch. And a USB transformer and nightlight.

    It could help though in many homes if you had only one outlet wired to a switch, and could help with parasitic current draws of almost everything modern.






  • Weird reporting like this is “new” GRB ring out of Swift and Sloan SDSS data.

    Sloan Great Wall, which is around 1.5 billion light-years in length

    South Pole Wall, which stretches 1.4 billion light-years across.

    Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, which is about 10 billion light-years wide

    2015 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_GRB_Ring

    It is approximately 9.1 billion light years from Earth and about 5.6 billion light years across.

    Evidence suggests that this feature is the projection of a shell on to the plane of the sky. Voids and string-like formations are common outcomes of large-scale structure. However, these structures have maximum sizes of 150 Mpc, which are an order of magnitude smaller than the observed GRB ring diameter. Evidence in support of the shell interpretation requires that temporal information of the transient GRBs be included in the analysis. This ring-shaped feature is large enough to contradict the CP. The physical mechanism responsible for causing it is unknown.



  • How the fuck you lie to yourself like that? Getting better?

    The average global temperature this year was highest in last 125,000 years. The US is about to have an election between two pathetic old men that no one likes except mentally deranged or blissfully in denial. In fact, Republicans and SCOTUS might remove Biden from ballots under the CO ruling of 14th Amd. citing “given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof”

    China is about to invade Taiwan where 80% of semiconductors in advanced products are made, and US only move is to destroy the billion dollar fabs and pause technology with 4 years of no new things like iPhones.

    AI is becoming 80% accurate on predicting deaths and will soon lead to insurance companies dropping people from life and medical right when people need it, and also employers will take advantage.

    Antarctica is literally falling into the ocean. Oh and don’t forget 1T tons of carbon stored in permafrost.
