So not archiving these memories in the way you would determines whether or not it is a mental illness? How is taking photos any mpre or less of a mental illness than leaving the tabs open?

Seems like quite the jump to conclusion to assume it is a mental illness.

There are many causes of power surges. While one potential cause is poorly maintained equipment, that is far from the only cause. Things like lightning strikes, tree or storm damage, load fluctuations, or equipment faults can cause them. They happen quickly enough that the protective systems can't always prevent damage to equipment downstream, but those systems are designed to protect the distribution equipment, not the loads themselves. Surge protectors are designed to protect your loads from surges and are important devices to protect sensitive equipment. OP is supposedly an electrical engineer, but this is either outside of their wheelhouse or they are just trying to jump on the enshittification bandwagon.

Then why would you imply that power surges are necessarily caused by shitty infrastructure and not by physics/nature/technical limitations/unpreventable system faults? Just to feed into the enshitification circle-jerk?

You say that like they're trying to hide it, but it's literally the stated purpose of the Selective Service registration. Nothing surreptitious about it.

The loophole is they never applied for federal jobs or benefits so they fell through the cracks. Hence the fix.

Yeah agreed. I'm just saying what's the difference between someone choosing to subject themselves to that heat for religion vs someone who chose to do it for some other reason. I'm not religious, but the fact that someone else died practicing what they believe doesn't make me happy. The initial comment I replied to is just feeding into the atheism circle-jerk that's really common here.

Is the issue here really that they were practicing their religion, or is the issue the 125°F heat?

This tl;dr does not do the article justice. Highly recommend everyone read the article.

It's fairly common knowledge that imperial units are anchored to metric standards now, but that connection doesn't make someone metrically inclined. Still gotta do the backflip. Continuing to use a worse system is annoying and not something everyone prefers to do, hence OP providing the conversions.

And that's pretty cool.
