Does anyone actually want outlets on switches anymore? Like maybe if you have a bunch of front window outlets on a coordinated holiday circuit but just... One per room semi at random?

These USB-A outlets from five years ago sure didn't age very well.

@feld a viable interpretation.

Don't use this outlet.

Also: yes it's upside down, this builder did that to denote outlets they randomly and pointlessly put on switches.

@feld them's fighting words in electrician circles.

I don't disagree with you, and look at how for example the UK does theirs. And they make the ground push open a little door over the live and neutral terminals too!

Kids, don't try this at home.

Look there was paint in the ground, alright? Cut me some slack.

Be safe out there today everyone. :solidarity: #HandsOff

Why is it that every iteration of basically every app becomes worse and worse? Sigh.

@jessew you must be on your way to the shattered planet. Not quite a million, but I've got over 900k...

@kims probably because of this: https://mastodon.cloud/@raymondpert/114099162665635206

@drahardja it's disappointing that this piece didn't take the time to delve into the actual history of general strikes.

I feel like this piece really just misses the point entirely. Calling for a general strike can, in fact, be easy - successfully generating one is another matter entirely. That doesn't mean we should stop calling for them, though!

Plenty of history can be found just in the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_strike

@drahardja bottom-line: this is a union-busting piece, through and through, anti-labor and anti-organizing, whether it knows it or not.

@drahardja ultimately I don't think anyone (credibly, anyway) claims that any of the "general strike" calls this author complains about were successful. But again, that doesn't inherently de-legitimize their intentions.

Instead of saying "leave it to the #unions", I would say, "keep trying" and "talk to your friends and like-minded people". #Organizing is ultimately about relationship-building and #solidarity. No one "owns" the idea of a strike, general or otherwise.

@doug lol fair. And to be fair I'm mostly kidding, I haven't actually tried Satisfactory but I've heard good things, and there doesn't have to be Only One True Factory (but if there did, it would be Factorio 😉 )

@doug boo Satisfactory, Factorio forever!

Some person on Reddit declared it the best looking Casio ever made: https://www.reddit.com/r/calculators/comments/1ghx1mo/the_best_looking_casio_fx992s_made/

Oh good, the manual is available online (site not vetted, PDF does appear legit though): http://www.manuals.rf.gd/Casio_fx-992s.pdf?i=1

And proof I used it well: my name sharpied on the back has faded quite a bit.
