If only you didn't have to disconnect all the electronics in the house, it would have been my favourite weather...

Well, the thunderstorms here aren't the work of Odin, so we don't really need to unplug anything

. But I was really planning on actually practicing my driving motor skills for once, since not many people would be commuting on Canada day.

Ever heard of grounding wires ?

Thunderstorm at the moment with some funny rain at 6 am till now (8:40) is pretty amusing.

I hate these non-syncing hardsubs still. YU KEEP CHANGING FRAMERATE!? I SPECIFICALLY SET THE EXACT FRAME NUMBER, YET YOU "BURN IN" ON THE WRONG FRAMES!!!
I am getting seriously mad at this 13 hours of fiddling, 8 "test" codings, several remuxing, literally hundreds of script edits... Might just skip hardsubs all together and make people guess for themselves what the fucking sign says.

Edit: Finally fixed. Now that looks sweet ^.^

When people call data striping "RAID 0." It's not RAID, it's striping, there's no redundancy.

Well, I do have both a lightning rod and surge protectors, but I still don't want to risk my computer if they don't work as advertised...

Plug in a decoy and we'll see

Plug in a decoy and we'll see .

this and putting an arrester in parallel with the main lines could disperse most of the surge's energy through it and tripping the fuse while at it. a simple arrester would be a MOV rated at around 600volts circuited with a triac, it works like a crowbar circuit.

Especially if you're wearing white linen or cotton clothes.

Random power outages that last for a minute or two and happen every 5 to 15 minutes. My contractor is here trying to spray paint on my garage, and it's kind of difficult to do that with no electricity.

So since Thursday I've had at least 16 (by my count) short power outages. Tonight I had 5 or 6 outages that each lasted for a few seconds, all within about a 10 minute period, followed by a 45 minute outage. In the process, one of my cable boxes looks like it got fried. Thankfully, I don't have to pay for that, and Brighthouse is sending someone out on my day off on Wednesday to investigate. Pretty sure it's just the box, and not the line.

I'm glad I'm not one of the ones who got hit with a blackout like the folks further north of me, but, dammit, I don't want to lose any of my electronics, either.

I was putting Aloes Vera on my sunburn out of habit, because that's just what my mother taught me to do when I was young, when the idea came to me to actually look on Pubmed to see if it's known to work or if it's just an unsupported altmed BS. Turns out it's the later. Damn it all these years I was just wasting my time and money!

I'm usually hesitant to put any thing on my skin unless I know what it exactly serves as. Also, there isn't much if anything to remedy sunburn (I had to wait it out for a few weeks once).
