What you’re describing actually removed the limited ability for both women and blacks to vote In outlying cases. States that tied voting rights to property ownership alone were, in my opinion, the ones actually taking the high road at the time…

“Discarded as unworkable” indeed…

Technically, you salute the rank and not the individual.

In reality, as you’ve discovered, common sense still applies :)

And only one guy shows up to a fire?

General officers come with flags, placards, and assorted other bric a brac. The rule of thumb I quoted is decades old, and intended to help clarify how all that goofyness should be addressed, and generally benefits joe.

An officer in civvies carrying his uniform with his rank visible is actually an outstanding example of how said rule of thumb precludes stupid shit, because that guy is almost definitely playing the bullshit game… I’d just salute the fucker, ain’t nobody got time fo dat ;)

User banned and entire chain removed by mods…

So don’t bother banning, because the moral police will show up and do it for you. Can’t be having any wrongthink here.

Not a good sign… Is there some other place for displaced redditors that doesn’t include censorship?

(I’m not implying jack shit about the actual topic, I’m commenting strictly on the grooming of content)

…and they all logged in to make it happen…

My baconreader icon opens Lemmy. That’s how you actually say fuck spez.

Dumbasses

I put the icon for one of the Lemmy apps (don’t recall which I went with actually, tried all I could find and chose a fave) on my phones quick bar, and then edited the icon and replaced it with the bacon icon :)

It’s the same icon I’ve had for a decade, in the same place it’s always been, it just opens a different app now.

I don’t hate lefties… I hate that if I find myself in a lefty circle jerk I feel obligated to defend the right, and I’m not a huge fan of the right at the moment… Mostly though, I just hate seeing (removed)…

Chaotic neutral problems :) I’d prefer the magas and socialists all got tossed into a single forum and had to sort this shit out… Nobody would enjoy it, but it would be collective progress instead of divergent.

Anyways, you didn’t really give me a guide per se, but you put all the puzzle pieces in one spot for me and that’s enough to be able to at least ponder it a bit and decide a direction to go in, so I thank you.

Sparkies don’t wanna catch a bunch of flak when your inverter decides to eat your computer for lunch :)

Well… Let’s say you go on the Chinese junk webpage and find a huge inverter for cheap, and you plonk it in your RV and call the electrician to come wire up a bunch of outlets in your RV off that inverter.

Electrician is going to come out, determine the max wattage that the inverter can safely spit out and install a main breaker at that amperage, so that the total load you apply can’t overtax the inverter. Then he might add a small breaker box if the wattage is high enough, and branch some lines out of it, making sure the breaker for each line is low enough that the wires can’t be overtaxed (so they don’t catch fire mostly). That’s all he’s really doing, is installing safety breaks, to protect your wiring.

You pay him, he goes off to the next thing, an you start plugging shit in, and a bunch of stuff starts acting up, because the great deal you got on that inverter was because it’s a square wave inverter, and none of your stuff likes square wave. The electrician hasn’t fucked up anything, you have. The wiring is never going to catch fire because he did his job perfectly, but your shit isn’t working right because you don’t have the right shit…

After a few iterations of stuff like that, electricians learn to simply pass on working with RVs, power walls, backup gen systems, etc. and leave the special stuff to specialist technicians.
