So obviously this all isn’t very ideal but they actually made at least two mistakes here. That pipe is not rated for being outside and also Romex isn’t allowed to be used in wet areas such as underground. Only something like UF cable would be allowed to be ran buried like this.

There’s two things that you can do here, the right way and easy way. The right way would be to rip the whole wire out and run it properly. The easier way would be to kill the outlet at the breaker, disconnect the wire from the outlet and to carefully remove the pipe and replace with a PVC pipe that won’t rust. Get one from the electrical aisle because those won’t degrade in the sun.

Well climate change was always going to be a crisis that was ignored until it started hitting people’s pocketbooks.

So if we’re pretending that the cop could be taken at his word and also pretending that while behind a barrier that the cop would be beyond a reasonable doubt threatened by that, that’s still the crime of brandishing a weapon, which isn’t punishable by death in any court. Cops manage to not kill people all the time, it’s not unreasonable to hold them accountable to the already low standards we hold cops to in the US.

Most people don’t bend over backwards when the government kills a guy for the crime of, having a weapon that couldn’t possibly harm the officer. Unless we’re going to be good with cops shooting everyone with a NRA sticker on their car we probably shouldn’t be good with it here.

That’s a classic, and I won’t hear one word against it.

You know what? Maybe I should stop complaining about Comcast, it could always be worse.

Right? Like, I mean there’s probably some room for a discussion on Russian and China’s actions in geopolitics and to what extent that is a form of imperialism but to straight declare that no other countries are seems like mind rot to the highest degree. Like we’re just going to pretend that America doesn’t exist at all I suppose? Or that France and Britain don’t still have extensive colonial properties and interests? It’s a hell of a take.

You might be adding too much nitrogen? I wonder if adding fertilizer every week is giving them nitrogen burn. Maybe post a picture of the leaves and someone might recognize something.

Notably the constitution doesn’t actually require a trial of any sort. The amendment was put in after the civil war, it would have been impossible to have a trial for everyone that participated in the Confederacy. Bit of an open question how that gets determined nowadays though.

Maybe but if you go off the dates this was posted and take in the about 2 years of time skip in it. I don’t think it’s at all crazy a blind person in 2017 had a flip phone.
