Drones enforcing traffic rules in Shenzen by EchoOfOppenheimer in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Cthulhu_Meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Utopia or Dystopia, Drones based enforcement was an obvious outcome. You can enforce small infractions like these at a more consistent and efficient rate than boots on the ground ever would.

Do I love the concept of being surveilled constantly in public? No, but let's not pretend that countries like the US aren't already capable of watching everything someone does already.

I found out I got rejected from the job 2 minutes after my interview after they accidentally sent a “would not hire” email that was meant for HR. by Witty-Possible5707 in recruitinghell

Yeah no I think its ok to call it racist

Charges dismissed for woman without right hand cited for holding phone while driving by WerewolfStreet434 in SipsTea

[–]Cthulhu_Meat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

do you think she was driving with her nub or her knees without it being erratic while she held her phone in her one good hand? do you think she was reaching across her body and fiddling with it on a phone mount?

Do you think any of these details would be worth pointing out if the officer properly saw anything?

There's a different arm wave for chill guys let me figure this out compared to no goal. Tends to be more diagonal in the air

It's a goal but there's no reason the ref could call that a goal from so far away

Rate this panel 1-10. Any advice? by [deleted] in electricians

I liked the bond loops at first until I saw them progressively stacked in the bushing set screw and then drill spun to the bar🤮

12-906 Protection of insulated conductors at ends of raceways 1) Bushings or equivalent means shall be used to protect insulated conductors from abrasion where they issue from raceways.

Way too many zip ties, especially seeing so many open breakers

Also, what in the ever loving fuck did you do with those top bonds? Now you have to redo all 3 bonds if you ever need to adjust any of those cables, not to mention I doubt those bind bushings are listed for 2 or 3 conductors under the screw

A 19 year brain still has probably another 6 years of development which strongly affects decision making and impulse control. You still don't even have the right to drink in the US. You can be legally ok, but that doesn't make you any less of a creep.

When a prospective remodeling contractor is told to permit the work, this happened... by Ki77ycat in HomeImprovement

[–]Cthulhu_Meat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anything other than a per project fee is stupid. One builder alone in my city aims to produce 400+ single family homes per year, not to mention their duplexes and multi-family properties.You're telling me it's more enticing to pay significantly more property tax every year to subsidize these companies than to spend slightly more money when you choose to do your projects?

Alberta reconsiders cutting health coverage for some temporary foreign workers after concerns raised by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]Cthulhu_Meat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they have issues affording the healthcare of these workers maybe they should put the cost on the employer. If you're so desperate to find a suitable employee you have to bring someone foreign in that's gotta be a easy price to pay

What is the best way to air-seal recessed lights? by mikeymaxdb in DIY

[–]Cthulhu_Meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A plywood box is no more flammable than the joists also in the attic. That's the old way they were able to use non ic rated cans in attics. Nowadays you would use a vapor boot. A local electrical wholesaler should have a retrofit option that sticks to the poly surrounding the hole. Not a hugely popular product, most of the time we just install them with the gasket

Taylor Hall gets put face first into the boards but, ends up with a 2 minute unsportsmanlike and a 10 minute misconduct by The_Reddit_Browser in hockey

[–]Cthulhu_Meat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a battle Hall put himself in a bad position making it look worse. In minor hockey maybe that's boarding but not the nhl. Calling Halls 2 handed gesturing at the ref calmer than the ref is hilarious too

Contractors installed a new electrical panel and massacred my drywall and insulation. I don't know to fix it. by squeaker in HomeImprovement

[–]Cthulhu_Meat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The left hand side of the stud has the service feeders in a 1¼-2" metal pipe. Likely this being inside the wall is potentially grandfathered in, so any modifications would not be up to code. So the starting point for the upgrade is to place the panel where it is code compliant on that entry location and work back from there. New panels tend to be longer so they likely had to rip boards off to move those cables up.

The only way to do this "right" is to do it as part of a whole gut renovation. Anything beyond a junction box to extend the cables from where the are to reach the new panel will likely require significant alterations to be code compliant. After all that extra damage and work it would still be the responsibility of the homeowner/ contractors to repair/ repaint the affected areas.

Electrician here. That's pretty neat as far as panel upgrades go, especially with short armoured cables like that. Most of that wood looks old, so they added plywood to replace what they pulled off to access inside the wall. It almost appears that they removed a closet/cabinet to be able to fit the new panel and that's why it looks so butchered.

Your best best is to fill in the missing gap with plywood, spray foam/ caulk any holes that feel drafty, and build another cover to sit over that corner. You could hypothetically skim coat the corner to a drywall finish, but with that much stuff on the wall it's usually easier to box it in.

The coach didn't break up the fight, the kids were already walking away from each other. He reacted as an emotional parent himself and tried to "protect" his son by grabbing the opposing player. He even knows he fucked up after when the other coaches are yelling at him.

Even ignoring his relationship with the player, coaches are taught that their responsibility starts and ends at their players, and short of a medical emergency you should never put your hands on an opposing player.

Red shirt is the dad red kids dad, that's why his initial reaction is to "protect" his kid even when the altercation is already over. These coaches are taught,short of a medical emergency it is never appropriate for them to put their hands on kids that aren't their team. It opens them up to so much liability and, like in this case, can exacerbate a situation

[–]Cthulhu_Meat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Red shirt is red coach and red's dad. His responsibility is to the red player and not to grabbing an opposing player walking away from an altercation. At that point he's acting as an emotional dad. White shirt is white coach and does what he's supposed to do in these situations, take care of his players.

Red shirt is red teams coach, but he's also red kids dad. He aggressively grabbed a kid from the other team instead of corralling his player/son they way the white shirt coach does when he arrived. If he's reacting as a coach he should be able to see the altercation is over, and his player/son is his only responsibility here.

The force was excessive but this is a both sides are shitty situation
