It’s just to make OP feel smart. A single driven axle with an open differential with one wheel on more slippery ground than the other would result in only one wheel transferring torque.

This - I’m in my forties, I have never suffered any of these conditions and I don’t think any of my friends have either. What do you guys do to your bodies over there?

I rinse the empty bottle and throw it over the shower wall into the bathroom. Later, when I’m dry, I wonder why the bottle is lying around and - tadaa, entry on the shopping list.

Lesson learned: Some CR2032 batteries are coated with SO MUCH of the bad tasting solution that prevents kids from swallowing them, that they don’t make good contact anymore. I always wipe them down with contact cleaner now.

Ethernet sometimes is a lot more robust than one would think 😌

But that’s still is no excuse for the shoddy, bent rats nest of RJ 45 installations that some electricians leave behind in perfectly good conditions where they could have done better.

Sometimes, just bumbling through the day is just a nice state to be in. Not bad for a kid to experience that as well and I’m sure your son will remember these kinds of days with his old man fondly.

Yep. Went there when I redesigned the VPN thing where I put all the things in that aren’t around here but either in other locations or move around. All v6 only in there plus routing into it from the connected networks, where appropriate. No more IP conflicts with local networks and very clean segmentation.

Feels good, doesn’t it.

It’s the most interesting thing how overwhelming evidence will be ignored while the inner conviction will search for any confirmation of it’s bias with a microscope. No jury would be as hard on any offender as we are on ourselves.

I’ve got a hydraulic splitter and everything, but occasionally I still like to give a few logs a good whack with the old Fiskars.

Eh, building a fire and staring into it never gets old, I think that might be what some people call “meditative”.

Sometimes just because it feels good to do the right thing and isn’t much effort.

I think so. I don’t think how act in these cases is a moral principle, poured in concrete, but really depends on the expected long-term outcome. And if that doesn’t work out, that’s when the learning happens.

Starlink, in some places in Germany is the only usable option. We have shitty infrastructure.

I’ve found that a quick spin on the lathe every six months or so is totally sufficient. It’s usually time when I start to notice that the remaining volume is down to one or two espressos and the cup is able to provide a good cup of Joe despite only receiving hot water.

Yes I am kidding.

But yes, for science I’ve also cleaned a stainless steel cup that way.

Finally built a house after moving through about ten apartments. The only way I’m leaving this place is feet first. Moving three times is like burning down once.

I think that’s those places where the asphalt changes quality and the streetlights start to look different.

Hm, nah, I meant these:

Not great, because if they change temperature a lot or are over torqued they lose pressure after a while.

Those wire nuts look even worse though, do they just screw on top of twisted wire ends to isolate them somewhat?

Yes, that’s them. The Marettes as the other answer suggested look even more sketchier, jeez, twisting wires and calling it a day for for up to 32A?

Anyway, I’ve found over torqued screw blocks in my parents home that lost pressure due to slight plastic deformation of the copper wires over time and that’s something you’ll never find out until the connector box starts smoking 0_o

Ah, the high current RCD test.

They are the best. Did my entire home installlation using them, it was such a breeze compared to Lüsterklemmen, whatever they are called in English.
