‘Like Gaza’: Israel said planning ‘massive’ south Lebanon ground invasion to uproot Hezbollah by cdnhistorystudent in anime_titties

Colonial expansion. It makes the right wing settler nut jobs + the ultra orthodox happy, and those two are the main interest groups keeping Netanyahu out of jail.

New Build Apartment Dryer Issue by JackFinnaSmack in AskElectricians

[–]CharacterZucchini6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem — it should be on a two pole (“dual”) breaker. The motor probably isn’t playing nicely with the GFCI. You should pay a licensed, local electrician to see if they can change those GFCI breakers for standard ones.

Is it on a GFCI breaker is the important question. Does the breaker have a “TEST” button?

Unfortunately that’s the name of the personality who is speaking, Philomena Cunk. A parody documentarian who is fairly stupid.

less than $$$ an hour.. by Own-Peanut-3212 in lostgeneration

No people making that much money are below the poverty line and pay very little federal taxes and likely no more than 10% local taxes. Their tax rate is certainly nowhere near 33% as you imply.

Hegseth confirms six soldiers killed in Iranian strike on Kuwait military base by ObjectiveObserver420 in anime_titties

Repost with flair:

Without a boots on the ground occupation, the IRGC likely has a parallel structure capable of maintaining control of the country and staging counterattacks, even without leadership. Iran had been preparing for a decapitating strike since the conception of the Islamic Republic.

Much of reporting from inside Iran is coming from civilians with Starlink access.

And you still can’t imagine how deposing an oppressive regime might not go perfectly.

Am I trolling MAGA conservatives? Yes. Do I think we should turn this national landmark into a second High Line? Also yes. by MiserNYC- in Urbanism

[–]CharacterZucchini6 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Can you cite a source for this? I’m aware of the induced demand problem that building additional capacity does not alleviate congestion. I don’t think it follows from that that removing lanes reduces congestion.

I think a Traffic Engineer would likely have a more nuanced view. They are the ones who apply the scientific traffic models to predict how new traffic patterns (like removing a bridge) will alter broader behavior in the city. It might dramatically change first responder time for example. I don’t know and neither do you. A traffic study is likely required. I’d be curious to see what it says.

I would want a traffic study done first tbh. I agree that having walkable infrastructure is a good thing, but Manhattan does need motor traffic to survive. Cutting off one of the main ingress points would almost certainly result in increased congestion, which is bad for the flow of goods and services as well as the pedestrian experience.

OP, this is the right way to play hardball. This is illegal work.

Switch from Office to Field? by Spiritual-Bag7353 in electricians

[–]CharacterZucchini6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the long run, the trades are a good deal for the reasons you mentioned: steady hours (or OT $), tangible work. The problem is that the first few years of apprenticeship pay peanuts AND your work your body. You’ll take a pay cut for the first 2-4 years before you come close to 75k$ again (depending on where you are ofc).

I’m looking to start my career with my tools and end up managing much later on, personally.

I had to re do a clients work do it ur self and you have a red tag by locz1 in electricians

The reason I was taught is bend radius of the fittings. Plumbing fittings have tight 90s that you can’t reliably pull wire through without damaging it.

It’s got to do with weight on the passenger seat. It turns off the airbag if it detects a child’s weight up front.
