I can run either the espresso machine (1100w) or the toaster oven (300w) and microwave (1000w) simultaneously. If I forget and run all 3 it will blow the breaker.
Hey, guess how I found out my office with all my computers was on the same circuit powering the air-fryer we had on the patio? This was our last place, too, a 2018-build high-rise.
I was working at a large identifiable site when they had a power failure. In the worst possible spot, a blown fuse nuked the feed below the gennies and the transfer switch, and basically the entire place was dark.
It shouldn’t be dark.
No one knew this fuse was down there, no one had a spare, it’s from like 1960.
So we have a temporary fuse and the one guy needs a new screwdriver. I expect it’ll be temporary - since the power on the way in is conditioned - until they decom the site in about 20 years.
Better than some cloud leech service, there are tools you can use to back up your hard drive onto a friend’s spare space (and vice versa if you want) so that you’re both protected without added clowd fees.
We get endorphins from completing tasks we set.
(Dopamine? Now I’m not sure which)
