That car parked next to the underground tank just loving vanishes. It lifts right up, then falls into hell.

I really hope there was no one in there.

I used to work at a petrol station and we got inductions on the underground tanks. There's just no way they should be able to explode like that.

Why not spend that money on getting in more equipment to fight the bushfires?

(Note that Box Hill is about 250 kilometres away from the big bushfires)

I'm fortunate that the AQI where I am is merely an "unhealthy" 250. It's usually about 13.

It kept insisting that, no, the metal frame had to be in the distance and very large, it couldn't possibly be on top of that car.

Power company came to disconnect the power. But all the fuses are mislabeled. When the place was sub-divided they had a few different numbering schemes. One numbering scheme is used for mail. One is used for the council. One is used for the power company fuses. Then the electrician came to mend the cable. He pulled, and pulled. There was an extra metre of cable down there in a gigantic loop, which he chopped out and spliced. Then buried again.

Now all the fuses are labeled the same way as for mail delivery.

Why does mail need its own buried powerline?

That's what I thought, but normal hirail setup may be much heavier compared to that little rack.

Also, you can swap it between trucks if one is out for repairs which you can't do with the usual hirail setup.

It's simple, elegant and easy to use.

I love specialty equipment which has so obviously been designed by someone who knew what they were doing.

Super Soaker Party! posted:

Apparently YouTube contacted the developer and said they needed to do an API audit (because the extension obviously was hitting the API pretty hard from a lot of places). The developer basically said he didn't have time or energy to deal with that and stopped developing the project - he open sourced it, or rather I think it was already open source but he said anyone who wants to take it over and deal with YouTube, feel free, but yeah that's why it got removed from the Chrome webstore and eventually stopped working if you had it installed (I think YouTube blocked the API key). And presumably no one wants to deal with YouTube's requirements, whatever they are.

Really annoying because it's one of those things you don't realize how useful it is until it's gone. There are some ViolentMonkey scripts that supposedly do the same thing but I haven't had much luck with any of them.

You can generate your own API key for YouTube and insert it into the script and it still works perfectly.

It's simple to do, but most people aren't willing to take the few minutes of effort it requires.

EDIT: Okay, found the link to get your own API and everything else you need to do to get it working

Also, if you comment out the nine or so lines in the script which start with "embed:function", it will mesh perfectly with the forums software.

Lockdown started late january, about as soon as the national government realized the situation, 12 days after the first death and about 2 weeks since it was noted to be a novel virus. idk how you describe that as "let it run rampant for a good long while". They shut down the country during the biggest holiday in the world.

China absolutely set a good standard for how to deal with pandemics, bested by Taiwan and South Korea who had more time advantage and a foreign source, rather than internal. The west is not trying to replicate any of those successes despite having the foresight china lacked and Italy and Spain are showing you the results.

? I've posted in like every china thread against the policy in xinjiang, or is there something else?

Is it cause I said I want a return to FDR's politics in the bernie thread?

Modest Mao posted:

I think China's project is basically to show that state power is absolute and to 'reeducate' the local populace, and to the end of stopping violent attacks I believe the evidence shows it works which is why the CCP is saying "what's the problem?"

One thing that I think is less talked about is that Xinjiang is now about 50/50 Uighur ethnic, around 11mil people, and Han see them as minority. Xinjiang is 'autonomous' and the government does have uighur members.

Also from this population of 11 million, the imprisoned officially make up 22% of prisoners in a country of 1,386 million.

The government has, since the foundation of the CCP, nominally tried to protect minority groups, excluding them from the one child policy (now two child policy) and giving them favor for getting into good schools, etc. A lot of Han will see these camps as a trade off for those favorable policies, "okay now your people have to learn the official language and support our government, after they supported you." I see that a lot in comments on chinese sites about this topic.

I think these facts help me understand the narrative better
