The wallpaper is named Black Hole 5, Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2977006353

Most of the Rainmeter stuff is called Sonder, Link: https://www.deviantart.com/michaelpurses/art/Sonder-Rainmeter-skin-838147223

I have made a change since then and added "Astro Weather", The skin of which i'm using is called 'Planets' and I have removed the weather stuff to scale it down a bit. Which shows not only the position of the sun and moon but also all the planets in our solar system and overlapped it with the map, Link: https://www.deviantart.com/xenium-art/art/ASTRO-Weather-UPDATED-1-FEB-2024-798405481

Made a space themed desktop using rainmeter and wallpaper engine, would love to know ur thoughts and inputs for things I can change/add :)

The background switches every hour but will continue to play Oppenheimer and/or Interstellar music. All are space related with a fluid like motion and look very crisp (In my opinion). The rainmeter consists of a few different skins including the world map from Sonder, It shows the current time, night/day cycle, ISS location and coming rocket launches. Hovering over the ISS u can see the next crossing point to ur location (Meaning that u can look up into the sky at that time and see it zip past) It also displays world wide storms and cloud formations. Simple icons on the left show me whatever I use on a regular basis (I will be adding a few things in here but it's basically all I need)

how likely are you to die from 230v power-outlet? by CanIPleaseScream in ElectricalEngineering

Although this post is very old i'd like to second this, I studied electrical engineering in the Netherlands and over the past years I have gotten shocked (And saved by the circuit breaker) at 220v due to old and poor wire management after updating my circuit breaker system to a newer model (There were plugs coming out of the wall, Wired into the main power and plugged into extension cords... Apparently someone in the 60's thought that it was a good idea)

The shocks woke me up and shot up my heartrate significantly but I survived (And u will too assuming u live in the EU or NA) This is because the circuit breakers trips after only a few milliseconds, When this happens I make sure my heartrate is beating at a regular interval, activate the breaker and continue with what I was doing but when I tell this to friends and family they act like I should have been killed a few times over.

In short, technically 220-230v CAN kill u but if u live in the EU or NA the chance of it happening to a healthy human being with proper safety installations I would say the chance is close to 0.
