i mean technically, you could use it but it sounds gross to do without a filtration of some sort before it goes to whatever storage you're referring to.

another thing to note is that most baseboard heaters are OK to use on 12/2 AWG. If you're tight on space in your panel, you'll likely free up 2 spaces in your box eliminating the heater but still will need to run whatever gauge wire is suggested in the installation manual. (if i'm understanding your intention of removing the resistance heater)

That seems like a bit of government overreach. I thought they didn't like that.

Nothing wrong with some trench brace awareness.

Then Google will make fun of them only to do the exact same thing months later.

I did. I started trying with guardians of the galaxy and gave up after I couldn't get re4 working, which like you said was gold. I'll probably give it another shot soon. I've been playing a lot of FFXIV and apparently that runs well.

I have an extra m2 slot I'm going to buy a drive dedicated to trying to get off the Microsoft teat.

this pushed me to try linux again for the second time. but all i do on my pc is game mostly. i couldn't get the games i was playing at the time to work so i quit. i spent 3 days trying to get resident evil 4 and guardians of the galaxy to work over a single ad for fallout-in-space-game.

i've settled on disabling "get fun facts, tips, tricks and more on your lock screen" check box in personalization >> lock screen

i really wish i could get games to work on linux.

Me as a healer causing a team wipe in FFXIV because I pressed the wrong button multiple times and being met with positive reinforcement.

Not to mention I feel like I spent my whole working life having the "grateful to have a job" mindset. I'm not now, but worked construction through the housing market collapse, a recession or two thereafter. Many corporate bailouts. It wasn't exactly easy to find a decent job if you didn't "know" someone.

The global pandemic was a neat addition to the chaos of it all.

He's speaking as a union rep, I get what you're saying but he just can't call a general strike. It would take years alone to get different trade union contracts to align to expire on the same year to get what he wants to do across. For example I'm in a steelworker union and my contract expires in 2027. If we sign a new contract in 2027 and participate in a general strike it wouldn't be backed by our union and could be punishable. However if they vote to extend the current contract 1 year near the end of the contract (very likely) we would actually have steelworkers and auto workers contracts expiring on the same year which could be interesting if these assholes actually communicated with each other union to union.

Sorry if you knew all this but I took your comment as in a "why not sooner?" or "what are they waiting for?" context so I felt compelled to answer.

Some unions are stronger. I'm in a union and I don't even have paid sick time after we just signed our first contract post covid. It makes me feel like it's kind of useless, but it's still better than no union. It's an extremely mediocre feeling.
