looks like a Milwaukee cordless bandsaw that I see a lot of electricians using to cut conduit
That's exactly what it is.
Looks perfect for some home improvement projects I've been putting off.
Makes quick work of pipes installing chain link fencing. Straighter cuts than a sawzall with a metal cutting blade.
Is that the kind of tool used for repairing cut fiber optic lines?
Yes, yes, repairing fiber optic lines, that's what we want it for!
Cool, because a damaged fiber optic line can take a fair amount of time and money to repair. A good repair tool is valuable for repairing after a landslide or other natural event damage.
The same sort of fiber lines in the transatlantic data cable which enters north america in newfoundland and then comes into the US via a data hub which connects all of the US to europe in new york?
I wonder where exactly that cable enters the US and where all such major global data carriers are.
One in Raleigh north carolina went down for almost two weeks about a decade ago and fucked internet for millions of people that entire time, I wonder if it lost power or something like that.
Well, that must have impacted commerce then, would now even more. Good that there are repair tools like this.
mhm, north carolina has a terrible problem with lengthy power outages, duke power is a really profit driven company so they only buy and have enough transformers manufactured to meet expected needs so when a terrible surge or act of God destroys too many they have to have them shipped in from out of state, and they almost exclusively employ contractors for that work, imagine what one bad ice storm could do.
I wonder how big an icicle falling from a tree would have to be to put one of those out of commission.
I can only imagine the sort of civil unrest it might induce in these racially charged times for such diverse cities to have a mass and prolonged power outage due to transformer shortages in winter if duke were to keep up it's long held tradition of serving wealthy neighborhoods first.
Well, thnx for the history lesson. And the fantastic advice and plan forward. This is probably the best and most important post on this website to date IMHO.
It's amazing what little it takes to dismantle some of our most advanced technology
I love all you guys in this thread and OP. No Homo.
Out of curiosity, what do you think a modern analog to tea would be?
I think for each grievance I listed there is a relevant answer but the most common denominator between those grievances is telecoms.
A LAN party, Local Area Network, is how gamers played multiplayer games in the time before wide spread internet or online matchmaking, just daisy chain or plug everyone into a switch or router and play together in this offline lobby, it's the nerd's version of a tea party, tournament play for basically all E-sports is done via LAN to reduce latency.
At the tea party the harbor was the cup, at the great election day LAN party whatever we play we'd be doing it locally and offline. a good chance to share memes and data too like people might have once done in churches, pubs, or even beer halls.
I like it. You make many great points, and I'm inclined to agree with you. Maybe it's time to start dumping a little tea.
Dumping Tea was also a frustration to the tea drinking public but seeing as it only happened the once they got over it, but if tea dumping were a regular event I'd say it were best to only do it in loyalist ports. don't want to frustrate your own folks against you as happened during the troubles.
The tea dumping was as non violent as could be but keep in mind what came a year and a half later.
The Sons of Liberty only targeted the tea to be taxed and nothing else. They even left money for a lock they broke to get to the tea.
Optics matter. Don't let emotional fools tell you otherwise.
