  • What is the best Power Outlet, and why?

    Jump

  • Type E/F carries 16A/230V, and nowadays there are shutters included which only allow two pins to be inserted at once, not one but not the other. There's no standard as of which pin should be L1 and neutral anyway, nor it should matter, and fuses in british plugs are to accommodate ring circuits, which were introduced as a result of copper shortages (ie decades of tech debt)

  • Or you could just use thicker wires like everyone else, or drop the use of ring mains, which is the actual reason why fuses in plugs were introduced. The reason why this was done was post-WW2 copper shortage. In other countries you'll see more likely star type circuit

  • I think that type A plug would be greatly improved in terms of safety and mechanically if it was put in a grounded metal shroud, in style of DIN connector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector it still would be compact, smaller than type F

  • is TRPV3 even involved in any way because last time i've checked some of best evidence points in direction of TrkB

  • UK uses type G. Type E/F plug has both contact for grounding pin like in type E and two sliding ground contacts on side like in type F. Sockets are either E or F, and i've mostly seen E

  • no, because it'll just trip fuse, and stoves are wired directly anyway

  • C/E/F also have shutters, probably more types do that too

  • Type E and F plugs are not really a thing anymore, today it's more common to find combined Type E/F plugs.

    Fuses in british plugs are a mistake and only a requirement because of sketchy practices allowed in british electrical code immediately after WW2. Nobody else does that because nowhere else electric code is built in such a way that it is necessary. Switch seems to be mildly useful tho

  • Amid war, Russia shuts down gasoline exports — producers hit for the first time

    Jump

  • i think they also did that last year, after strikes on refineries, and duration of it coincides with grain harvest. but this year much less oil refining capacity was struck

  • with wood, the problem was with lignin which is tightly crosslinked, meaning that it's insoluble and organism willing to eat it has to secrete some enzymes to break it down in smaller bits that can be absorbed

    depending on plastic, this first step might be easier or even happening on its own. there are already bacteria that feed on nylon but nylon starting materials are easier to digest for them

    couple kg went for fuel fabrication for teheran research reactor, but that's couple tens kg out of low tons

  • They could just buy enriched uranium directly

    they did buy enriched uranium for their only nuclear power reactors in bushehr npp from russians, and didn't use their own enrichment facilities to make fuel for it

  • Russian Federation Urged To Urgently Raise Taxes To Save The Budget

    Jump

  • well, i see a large category of infrastructure problems (that will be 99% civilian use anyway - and not only transport, also telecomms, you can even put healthcare training in there) that is solvable by pouring money at them, and now it's politically convenient to let it rip even among pro-austerity neoliberals. if you want an example of what can this do, look at eastern eu countries and how they changed after funding went in

  • It all depends on how it all will get managed, but there are already longer term infrastructure projects that now got some funding and now also it counts under 5% NATO target. I think that more resources will go towards rail infrastructure, bridges are just more illustrative, but still for a couple of these village 7 ton level bridge there will be one 30 ton bridge in town nearby that will get overhauled
