Off the main topic of the article here, but that was a roller coaster of thoughts for me with the Title and the link thumbnail-

Kinda looks like Drew Berrymore in the thumbnail, so “Bionic Girl Debuts…” oh cool, new movie—-wait, Drew lost her arms and now has prosthetics? Opened the article…..Ohhh…

We rewatched this movie last fall sometime and (obviously) immediately knew who that was…we were surprised because we didnt know he was in it. Basically this just dates how long it had been since we last saw the movie…..

Second this for the US. Nothing major as a nation, but various small things in different areas or cities.

I know Hawaii does a Lei Day- “May day is Lei Day in Hawaii”. Not a full on holiday, but there’s usually festivities of various levels around the islands.

Fair enough! I grew up on the gulf coast and have traveled all over the deep south, have family from northern Louisiana, and my parents lived in Baton Rouge for a while- so i wasnt trying to “assume” for you! A1 (for me) is just one of those things that seemed so common i stopped seeing it and never needed to look for it! Like I said, you aint missing much, so im glad you aren’t familiar with it cause there are waaay better options where you’re at!!

Odd you havent seen it being from the south…but that’s probably for the better! It’s Steak Sauce. Meant to be put on steaks…it’s in all major grocery chains and usually on the tables at most restaurants serving any sort of a steak menu. Bottle is shaped like a Worcestershire bottle, but has a white label with a big A1 on it. I never cared for it so at this point couldn’t even tell you what it tastes like. If a steak needs a sauce, then it’s not a good steak.

With that said, i’ve seen it used as a marinade ingredient, or more complex sauce ingredient- so it’ll still have its uses.

I second this, Ken Roczen (Pro Supercross/Motocross racer) from Germany just got US citizenship earlier this year…. Also this- Dual Citizenship in Germany

That’s what I was thinking, too. 5 subpanels for an average residential home is pretty huge. 2-3 is still okay for a 150-200a service, but 5…that’s a lot of circuits….

Yup…that would really bug me. Cant un-see it now

That’s my thought as well. Considering none of his is actually twisted pair, likely not “data” rated- just old multi-line POTS cabling…BUT- im pretty sure all exterior “burial” rated cable has always been filled with something for the purpose of preventing water ingress. I want to say icky-pick was a nickname for it?

Neat. I love happy little surprise conveniences left by someone else! As someone who deals a lot in low-voltage stuff, i really like this one.

Ya, i woke up this morning to my entire feed being nothing but their “rules” posts. Didn't take more than a few minutes before that place got blocked. My block list is sooo long here….

I’ve definitely bought some in the last…4 years that are still standard replaceable 9v only powered. In the US from local hardware stores. A quick amazon search shows i can still buy both types, replaceable 9v and fixed 10 year…
