Firefighter, EMT, recovering techie who sometimes moonlights for t3h techie $$$s... Also @somerandomdave.bsky.social

@WW3finalboss @sentdefender In permissive air space, yes.

[Dave's not going back there, man... @OfDaves]

@sentdefender It's likely it'll rebound, but it's the long-term trend that's important.

@esjesjesj "Now"? Why do you think his numerous children hate him?

@eclecticbrotha Given that the plane didn't go through the drive-thru, they're probably eating _cold_ McDonald's burgers and fries.

[Dave's not going back there, man... @OfDaves]

@RadioFreeTom Also, a fair amount of work on counter-proliferation (because when you already have all the people who understand how the process works, you might as well ask them if what other countries are doing is going to work.)

@arseagon @TrdrLou @davepl1968 If you aren't going to use some kind of twist-lock, at least go for a 6-20 (which is keyed to prevent it from being plugged into a 120v socket).

[Dave's not going back there, man... @OfDaves]

@arseagon @TrdrLou @davepl1968 I'm not saying 240v is bad.

I'm saying using a NEMA 5-15P (the standard American 120v connector) in the US to connect up 240v is likely to result in unintended consequences.

@ShipGeneration @cwebbonline Then why is he surrounded by his current group of cronies?

[Dave's not going back there, man... @OfDaves]

@cwebbonline Right up until Vance, wholy owned by Musk BFF Thiel, 25As him and sends him back to cheat at golf and grope the housekeeping staff in MAL with a full pardon.

@davepl1968 Falls under the category of "if you can use it safely, you already know you're not going to find one at the hardware store". (Of course, if you can use it safely, you probably installed a transfer box and don't need it anyway...)

[Dave's not going back there, man... @OfDaves]

@TrdrLou @davepl1968 If you're doing 240V with that plug, you're playing a really dangerous game. Just saying.

@dieworkwear @orkrule1 I know... prolly 2 people who _probably_ could do the one on the left (as in, they specialize in bespoke carpentry), and 1 who definitely could, but any of them are going to be a multi-month wait for availability plus a "I could buy a house for that!" pricetag.

[Dave's not going back there, man... @OfDaves]

@STATter911 And while those rare occasions they're there makes a huge difference, they're there for an hour or so, and then aren't seen again for a month.

[Dave's not going back there, man... @OfDaves]

@STATter911 Probably do wonders for crime rates in Pentagon City if the Metro cops spent some quality time hanging out at the fare gates. (Coming off the train, you can tell when they're there by the number of people loitering inside the gates and the lack of ACPD/ACFD calls to the mall.)

@bubbleIPL @Osinttechnical Pre-minced, even!

@aquariusacquah Note that there's nothing saying Trump is going to work with Bernie.

@PegFunkArnold @cybil2pointo @TheRickWilson It's weird how diagnosed Aspergers just started happening in 1993* and then just went away in 2013**.

* when it was added as a diagnosis to the DSM
** when it was removed as a diagnosis from the DSM

@RibelleInPA @cybil2pointo @TheRickWilson Minor quibble: There are non-iron-lung treatments now (there is, I believe, one person still using an iron lung, and it's by choice; I know this because I was following the effort to find or make replacement parts for it).
However, polio can still f**k you up permanently/fatally.

[Dave's not going back there, man... @OfDaves]

@thesirjason @cybil2pointo @TheRickWilson In that they mostly kill minors, yes.

@Kasparov63 Kinda wonder if we're back to the cold war 'official' exchange rate vs 'you have dollars? I make you a deal!' exchange rate.
