[01:16:39] <FatPhil> what were the chances of that?!?! someone came from wuhan to lapland (via Hel) 5 days ago, and brought it with them?
[01:17:26] <FatPhil> Didn't Taiwan say "fuck off, China, no exceptions" 5 days ago, it wasn't exactly unknown.

[07:43:57] <systemd> Thanks for submitting this story. It appears that no editor has yet selected this story to be run. At least a week has passed since the story was submitted, and if an editor was going to have selected it, they would likely have done so by now. It has, therefore, been removed from the submission queue.

[14:50:23] <FatPhil> local brewpub (not the one I'm a part-owner of) is having a 2nd birthday party tonight, will be free drinks all evening, obvs. Local pub owner and I are both invited. But she's just got a delivery of new beers and insists we try *all* of them before the party!
[14:50:42] <FatPhil> And... that all starts in 8 minutes time, better put my drinking shoes on...
[14:51:42] <inz> Sounds like lots of time queueing to the mens room
[14:51:55] <FatPhil> here we have a chart of my projected drunkkenness tonight: https://realinvestmentadvice.com
[14:52:23] <FatPhil> inz: brewpub's in a shopping centre, so there are actually a lot of loos if you're prepared to go an extra 20m.
[14:55:26] <inz> FatPhil, sounds like lots of effort, better have drinking shoes with built-in catheter

[22:02:42] <carny> they just made an official statement that there's a global emergency but there doesn't need to be any restrictions on travel

[23:48:01] * TheMightyBuzzard yawns
[23:48:01] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into TheMightyBuzzard's gaping mouth
[23:48:19] SoyCow4446 is now known as Sulla
[23:48:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> fookin tired
[23:48:27] <Sulla> how is the church going?
[23:50:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> bunch of cleanup and wiring today. be ready to sheetrock next week possibly. would have been closer to done but the inspector said "you need deeper boxes if you're going to have four circuit legs going through them."
[23:51:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> apparently it's shiny and new NEC stuff since either TR or i have done any residential wiring.
[23:52:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'fine though. it'll be easier to monkey with stuff with less wires in the light boxes.
[23:53:31] <Sulla> Are you going to install a roll cage for the house in the event of a tornado?
[23:54:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> had been feeding power into the light box then dropping down to one outlet on each wall. multiple outlets on the same wall get connected with romex through the studs

[23:54:25] <systemd> ^ Roughing It/Chapter XXXIV - Wikisource, the free online library
[23:55:03] <Sulla> what does deeper boxes translate to
[23:55:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> fun new rule: if your panel is more than six feet from your meter, ALL breakers have to be arc-fault.
[23:55:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> it used to be just bedrooms
[23:56:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> arc-fault breakers trip if there's an arc anywhere on their circuit.
[23:56:44] <Sulla> Not a requirement yet here. Just had my box upgraded and it has none of those
[23:56:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes it is
[23:56:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> national electric code
[23:57:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea how you got away with it. did an inspector even come out?
[23:58:00] <Sulla> Yeah
[23:58:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> FYI to all the non-lectric folks: light switches produce fucking arcs every time you flip the switch
[23:58:57] <Sulla> Fun
[23:59:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> you got a very nice inspector, man
[23:59:25] <Sulla> Going through and replacing all light switches currently, after 60 years crappy
[23:59:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> most of them require they be there, knowing you're going to yank them out and replace them with normal breakers as soon as they leave
[23:59:53] <Sulla> other than being double sized, anything wrong witht he arc-fault?
