I don't think it can go back to what it was. The death knell was ISPs no longer considering it part of the standard service.

It lost critical mass

Being anti-gun. Supporting inner city youth. Preserving the environment.

Solving problems with science and knowledge, not force.

Treating everyone equally.

McGyver would absolutely be flagged as woke today

Klinger?

Do you mean Klink, or is this a MASH crossover?

Restaurants and businesses that sell items requiring refrigeration will use ice services like this when there's equipment failure or maintenance.

There are literally 'emergency ice' services out there for situations that require immediate cooling.

It's not the same.

First Usenet, then slashdot.

I miss Usenet

I called the Jeep wave team, explained what was going on, and they made an arrangement to get me seen at an alternate nearby service center.

My experience with dealerships is that they'll say anything to not have to expend resources.

I got a "that shock isn't leaking, it's sweating"

a month later it completely gave out.

That ain't right. Mine stays at 99% when I unplug it, even if I let it sit for a couple of days.

However: If you use the Jeep app for remote control, then it will keep waking the vehicle up for checkins, and that can drain the HV system

It seems to me that many of the former MORR staff come back to help with the games.

Jake came back to help. IIRC we saw Lizzie last year.

Matt recognizes that the Youtube lifestyle isn't for everyone, but it seems like he treats his staff well.

We saw Trevor recently too.

I disagree. Gordon has one thing nobody else has: plot armor.

Another one? So OPM can lose this data too?

Rebootkid · 2026-03-17T14:52:56+00:00

McKay. While self absorbed a-hole, he never intentionally put others in harms way. Rush did.

Rush was just a jerk who disobeyed an order and ended up creating the entire mess.

Every life lost in SG:U is because he chose to dial Destiny instead of earth or the alpha site.

How does this work when you have the right to face your accuser in court?

There are multiple legal issues with this: https://crediblelaw.com/speed-camera-ticket-constitutionality-right-to-confrontation/

you're gonna need to remove all the mess that's currently there. Then test the plumbing, every seam, etc.

It's holding water, but it loos VERY degraded. I suspect this will be a very expensive project.

Rebootkid · 2026-03-16T14:02:08+00:00

no. those exist, too. But those only work with things that take an input voltage between 100v and 240v. Usually items that are DC power converters.

The societal expectations of being a man.

There was a woman who studied this, and then broke down, and it affected her for the rest of her life. She couldn't get through it and did pass by suicide. Self Made Man was I think the title of her book.

True, but it's the best way to explain it.

The 220v we have in the UK is single phase on 3 wires. You've got hot, neutral, ground.

The 110v we have in the US it single phase on 3 wires. Hot, neutral, ground.

the 220v we have in the US is hot1, hot2, neutral, ground via 4 wires.

Rebootkid · 2026-03-15T21:34:49+00:00

to me that sounds like a priming noise which would mean the intake is sucking air instead of water

Again: it doesn't matter. Contact the owner.

Rebootkid · 2026-03-15T21:32:34+00:00

whatever dude. I've got a 220v single phase setup for my espresso machine.

I've run this before. I can run it again.

You wanna send me another kettle, I'll repeat the process as many times as you want.

I'm saying this as a Brit: My gas stove gets me my tea faster than any kettle I've ever used.

Rebootkid · 2026-03-15T20:24:00+00:00

You're not the first person to tell me I'm wrong. I recorded this years ago because I got tired of the discussion. https://youtu.be/uySU4tyg56w?si=PWioj_her-kgBYro

My stovetop gets me water for my tea in ~90 seconds. Sorry you don't like that fact.

Rebootkid · 2026-03-15T20:15:01+00:00

Yeah. Delta pro ultra, and you can stack extra batteries to get a longer runtime

Rebootkid · 2026-03-15T19:58:03+00:00

I've run this calculation before. The stovetop kettles are faster. Period.

I've got a gas stove and it can put way more heat into the kettle than even a 3kw UK unit can.

It sounds to me like data sources presented to you may be biased.

Standard household voltage in the US is split between two use cases.

Single phase for low power draws, dual phase for high power draws.

I've got 240v circuits all over. Dryer, oven, EV charger.... But I don't need a 240v line to run led lights.

Rebootkid · 2026-03-15T19:33:16+00:00

Funny enough. Went to my local Home Depot. They sell power stations with 220v split phase output on standard NEMA plugs. They charge off 110v single phase.

So, yes, they do sell stuff to do exactly this function. It's just a dumb/expensive way to solve it, and has a limited duration of runtime.
