It was a $680mill job, and SoCal Edison (SCE) had such an inept legal team, they missed a term in the contract with Mitsubishi which limited payout for failure within the 20yr warranty to $125mill.
Can you fucking believe that shit? I only found this out after investigating why there was a $3 "decommissioning fee" on my first electric bill after moving to California.
The alternative explanation is immediately where I jumped to halfway through the story, though of course one pin would have to be contacting the metal body somehow.
Or, otherwise, it was forced into being a really cruddy capacitor ...
I'll add that continental 4 seasons are the absolute best tires, better even than gatorskins for longevity and thorn resistance. Not cheap, but it's been almost a year since my last flat.
E: I'd rate interaction with the "buttnugget" LLM at 1 of 5 stars, the model is a dumbass that can only parrot very weak talking points in a meekly aggressive tone. When presented with evidence, this shit-box LLM can only respond with "lmfao" and terminate the interaction.
If it were a living being I'd tell them their mother is ashamed of them for lack of critical thinking skills, but considering that it's just a weak model, I'll say that its programmer is a clownass who was rejected round one in hiring for obvious reasons.
😬 damn, sorry homie. I guess if it's lifetime warranted, resell the replacements?
Not particularly relevant, but it'll help you see through marketing dreck no matter how it evolves: Plasma arcs can go that high in temp, but has no effect on what makes something "hard" or "soft": interatomic bond strength. I'm certain you know this, but carbon (as in the diamond) holds hands really strongly with other carbon, more strongly than iron to iron as in a steel spatula.
In theory, an actual diamond surface (not sprayed on, but grown) would be impervious to steel implements. But in reality, making a fully uniform diamond coating is extremely difficult, and thus tear-jerkingly expensive.
Spraying chunks of diamond onto a surface as the mfgr has done really means there's a thin sticky coating on the pan before they start, so that these hot pieces of diamond partly melt into it and are "glued". Safe bet that later is PTFE. That means when your pan is hot on the stove, the layer softens and you wind up eating little bits of diamond with each meal. One day, food sticks, as you'll have found a spot missing too many diamonds, it's just the substrate with a bunch of tiny holes to make food stick even worse than a smooth plastic surface.
I'll add that cast iron consistently works better for longer: My ceramic or PTFE pots start great, but after a while become so terrible they're useless in spite of silicone spatulas etc.
I cook almost daily, so I found the new tech pans fully degraded within a year or less.
Cast iron, I've car camped and daily stove topped, no problem. I season it once every couple of years, works great.
Yes, I'm doing it daily. I explicitly denounce what's happening in Gaza, am aghast that the very people whose bubby might've lived through the Holocaust would perpetrate similar horror on Gazans for the sake of land, and do my best to boycott Israeli products at all times, particularly Teva.
I've gone to protests but those seem a little less effective. Writing my senator too, but likely even less effective than that.
It's a real calamity, but I won't give up working towards Israel being held accountable. Hamas fucked up, I believe I understand what their motivations were, but Israel is well past sanity at this point.
They fucked up San onofre so bad it's now being decommissioned 😡
