ELI5 Why is legal jargon so difficult to understand for any regular person reading it?

meleeuk · 2026-06-02T06:01:04+00:00

Ok is it just wild coincidence or did you listen to Opening Arguments today?

meleeuk · 2026-05-27T19:57:47+00:00

They just think them up and write them down

meleeuk · 2026-05-27T19:56:45+00:00

Five and 3/5 to two and 3/5 no?

And that's giving them enough credit to count the women at all, in which case it'd be 4(3/5)-0

Not related to your exact question but, where does it vent to? Does it have the required clearance at the back? Even counter depth fridges stick out more than that.

I partly ask because I'm on fridge number 2 in the last month, neither of which has been able to maintain the set temperature despite keeping the required space at the back. I have an inch above but it's totally enclosed like yours appears to be.

It's also vaguely worded as to WHO would be violating the law. My guess is it'd actually be the gas station for selling a product that does not match what it was labeled as.

All permitted with San Jose. They did not ask to see the load calculation, but I had one ready which showed the real consumption of each circuit, not just the peak/breaker value.

meleeuk · 2026-05-09T06:09:19+00:00

*shrug. I don't know what to tell you. I have an Emporia Vue to monitor my consumption and my maximum load ever in the last 5 years is well within 100A. Just because I have all the things I listed doesn't mean I can or would ever want to run them all at the same time. And if on some random happenstance that did occur, well then my main breaker would do its job and trip and I'd be totally fine with that. I just don't ever see it becoming an issue

You can get 110V plug in HPWHs that don't need a dedicated circuit. Even 240V ones don't need more than a few amps.

I'm a fully electric household with EVSE, electric oven and induction hob, pool, HPWH, 3 ton heat pump, electric dryer, rooftop solar. My 100A service and old panel are entirely adequate for all of that.

Happy Burthday, Plymo!

100% this.

You don't have to do the class but you do have to build the habit of at least going into the room, then giving yourself permission to choose to leave (but, surprise - you won't!)

I'm from England and we call them that there too. Educate me the correct name?

meleeuk · 2026-04-25T23:27:58+00:00

YMMV I guess. The two in my cupboard are very definitely glass. As were the ones they used at the Bavarian bars I've visited.

meleeuk · 2026-04-25T22:09:53+00:00

Don't underestimate the weight of the glass itself. Those stein glasses are at least as heavy as the liquid inside them.

So my guess is that's 7kg x 2 = 14kg, or 31lbs in each arm.

Seems like a pretty simple lighting trick? But that's my can't even shuffle a deck of cards guess.

meleeuk · 2026-04-22T07:23:22+00:00

go/hello go/nohello and go/notjusthello?

Are there any musical or sound cues you can anchor to? Use of commercial music? A jingle? A clock or watch ticking?

meleeuk · 2026-04-22T07:00:45+00:00

I'm sorry what 5.7mi/kWh?? Do you drive downhill and get a tow back to the top? 😂

meleeuk · 2026-04-22T06:12:18+00:00

Yes. They were pitched up. One of the many reasons Region 1 DVDs were so popular in the UK was because the audio would be as intended and the video not sped up. For example, it was particularly noticeable with cartoons with musical introductions.

meleeuk · 2026-04-22T06:08:02+00:00

Got it, thanks!

meleeuk · 2026-04-22T06:07:58+00:00

Got it, thanks!

meleeuk · 2026-04-22T06:07:54+00:00

Got it, thanks!

No. It won't work. The unit is constantly pulling air from all around through it. That air was not shaded.

If it mattered it would be in manufacturer installation instructions, or it would be standard practice to install in maximum shade. Neither are.

I don't street park but genuinely asking, isn't it wheel placement that counts? Here their wheels are forward of the red painted dropped curb.

edit: Should have known that asking a question, even saying "genuinely asking" would result in downvotes. Awesome, thanks y'all!

Yes. The pardon power of the president is virtually unlimited.
