Good standoff, open build prevents non-obvious grounding or shorting. Gonna say that's better than 75% of dad wired light switches from the 80s.

That's some quality low-tech construction there. I would be proud of that handiwork. EDIT: The fine gauge wire at the bottom acts as fusible links.

Yep. Put that in a wooden box like a birdhouse to stop people touching it and it's a-okay

The first time I had to ask my elderly neighbour of the time for help because I had absolutely no idea how to deal with the damned thing was (And was disinclined to learn by simply loving around) and he gave me a quick primer on how to fix the damned thing and what I should be doing to do it all safely and effectively, even gave me some spare wire he had in the right sizes and told me which was for which fuse. They were good people. The fuse box in question consisted of removable ceramic blocks and a wire you'd stick through a hole in it and secure to the electrical contacts on the top. The other fuse related story I have is from a few years back is that my oven developed a fault where it would, after heating up to some unknown point in use, develop a short that prevented it from switching off. The controls would be utterly ineffective but me being too poor to replace it at the time and also having a powerful need to not starve to death would have to use the damned thing anyway. I would therefore switch the thing off by yanking its fuse out of the fuse box. After it had cooled down the controls on the oven would, once again, work properly. If I didn't wait for it to cool it would just switch back on if I did that. Unfortunately the people who designed the place decided that it would have to be in the most inconvenient place possible so I would have to stand on a chair by the sink so I could reach the top shelf of the raised cupboard where it had been set at the back and down the bottom of the shelf, just for the reasons of making my life difficult. (It has since been updated to a modern set of circuit breakers, thank gently caress) Fake edit: I guess I do have another fuse story after all back from when I was a kid. A few months after my family had gotten a kitten, said kitten decided that she took personal affront to my fathers stereo and pissed on it while he was using it, and blew the power to the entire house. The cursing he got up to while digging around in the houses fuse box was amusing. I sided with the kitten: My father has poo poo taste in music and she was fluffy and cute.

https://i.imgur.com/kFpaP5g.mp4 Fuel tanker crash on I85 in Georgia. Or it’s a new War of the Worlds remake. https://www.wsav.com/news/local-news/georgia-news/crews-responding-to-major-fire-on-i-85-near-atlanta/ drat: Firefighters say when they got to the scene, a tanker fuel truck was on fire, and the fuel was spreading through a nearby sewer drain that ran under the highway. They say explosions were coming from the sewer manholes. Fuel emerged from one storm drain in front of a restaurant, causing a brush fire and knocking out power.

I wish to know more about this, but googling "La Fogata Express" turns up a zillion hits that don't seem to match wherever this happened. Googling phrases like "semi crash" or "tractor trailer overturns" are similarly unhelpful. Do you have any more info on it?

I've got some green glass around that I'm positive is uranium-doped but the key point there is that as long as you don't powder and snort it, no bigs. I've always wanted to see what it's giving off though, but have been reluctant to purchase a geiger counter.

I carry a little blacklight in my purse so I can find uranium glass when I go to the thrift store. My goal is to eventually have a china cabinet with blacklights installed so I can have a whole case of glowing green dishes.

It's alpha radiation. Unless he's drinking out of it or decides to eat it he's fine.

Forgive me if this is dumb Depends on what sort of emitter it is, but generally it's fine, just try to avoid eating the glassware. Radiation is a term that applies to your phone, the sun, a lit match, etc. Genesplicer gonna explain better than this bitch who hasn't taken a physics class since 2004. Here's a good start though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionizing_radiation E: what hellmaker said

He has a Revigator if I remember right. Its all alpha and when ingesting anything coming out of it you'll probably feel the heavy metal leaching out of the glaze before anything radiation related.

For example, here's an article about how radium dialed watches can produce unsafe levels of radon: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/new-report-shows-radium-dials-might-pose-serious-danger I assume a radium infused water jug has more radium in it than a watch dial, but idk.
