This guy knows.
Walkthroughs were just a magazine instead of an Internet article back then.

Probably all of them.
Edit: Well, all of them that can legally vote. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them had criminal records that prevented them from voting.
How would a company (even a good one) let people know they exist without some sort of advertising?
Just start a company and sit there hoping people accidentally find you, then tell their friends?
Advertising has to happen on some level.
GFCI protects against a difference in current between the hot and neutral lines. This is intended to sense that the energy is going to the outlet, but returning through a different path, like through a meat bag full of mostly water.
This is usually for wet locations like bathrooms and kitchens, to stop water from completing a circuit.
A short circuit would be too much current going through the circuit, and would be stopped by a standard circuit breaker.
These would be for every circuit, to protect against overloading the wires and outlets.
An AFCI would detect if arcs are being generated in a line, like if there was a loose wire causing sparking somewhere. This would typically cause a very hot spot in the line which could cause a fire, but not necessarily cause a short circuit or an electrocution risk.
These are usually only required in bedroom spaces to reduce the chance of a fire happening in the room you are sleeping in.
Those are all different from a surge protector, which is intended to stop high voltage spikes, which typically occur from issues outside the house.
These are typically used, in various types, to protect sensitive electronics and expensive appliances.
Four different types of protection, for four different types of problems.
Oh, you're one of those kids who hiked north and needs clothes now?
The savannah was good enough for us for millions of years, it's good enough for us now.
That's your prerogative. Nobody is making you get saved. It's not illegal to be missing.
At least you know that folks are looking for you and can make a decision based on that info.
But if you were actually injured and/or stuck somewhere, you might be inclined to click that link (or call your mother.)
Out of everything he did, this was his worst command.
He's in TEMPORARY command of a ship while the captain is on a short term mission. He's asking for a huge sweeping change to the ship's roster. The amount of work it would take to adjust everyone to a new schedule, just to shift everything back when Picard gets home is pointless.
I could defend almost every other decision he made, but this one... This is why he's in the books as the worst captain.
When do they not help?
Having the whole wikipedia would get you a damn good start to getting back to civilization.
I set up 2FA, took a screenshot of the QR code, printed it out, and stuck it in a fire safe.
The tech isn't "lost" as in we don't know how to do it. The tech is "lost" in the sense that we spent billions building giant single use rockets, then shut down the factories to move on to other projects.
If we wanted to turn around and build the exact same thing, we could. But all it would accomplish is sticking a couple people on the moon for a few days again. We already did that, and we don't want to waste the money it would take to repeat the stunt.
What we want is sticking people on the moon for a few months at a time, for a fraction of the cost. Which requires different tech and different rockets. We also want it safer, and more repeatable. None of those things can be done with the old equipment.
I have an indoor/outdoor thermometer to keep track of how hot the back of my Expedition gets. I drive pretty regularly with two dogs in the back, and over the summer and winter the temps can get a little extreme.
I need to be able to take it out to keep an eye on it remotely (it has about 1/4 mile range) but also have it not rolling around while I drive.
There was a coin holder there that I popped out, and used as a template for an insert to keep this mounted semi-permanently.
Printed with kinda crappy Amazon Basics PETG. If it holds up well, I'll reprint it with better quality black PETG so it matches the car better.
We planted a variety of plants, at different stages of growth. After a bit of experimentation, cosmos grow extremely well. These were cuttings we put in just a couple weeks ago, and they're already bigger than most of the other plants that have been in there for over a month.
The very young plants did not survive, but the larger ones did. If they're too small, they just get swallowed down into the cups by the bobbing of the water.
Seems like the plants need to be large enough to reach all the way to the bottom of the pots, and still stick out enough.
Going to be interesting to see what it looks like at the end of the season.
The experimental mat has been out for about a week now, but extremely high winds during a storm last night pulled up a corner of the mat spilling out the contents.
Luckily the majority of the plants were able to be saved, so we have one empty spot now.
I added some weights to the four corners to hopefully prevent this from happening again.
This is why we're experimenting! Learning what works and what doesn't with the setup.

Our retention pond in our neighborhood has a lot of algae and problematic plant growth due to the surrounding farms and lawn runoff, so we're experimenting with a floating island to pull nutrients out before they can cause problems. This will also provide some interesting flowering plants, and more fish habitats.
Will be an interesting experiment to see what survives and what does poorly.
Zinnias, sunflowers, marigolds, and a few others are in net pots, inserted into cutouts in EVA foam mats.

This was the 90's
It may have been good for some people, but they were literally looking for hints you might be LGBT and kicking you out of the military. DADT didn't stop them either.
If you had a "pre-existing condition" which was defined by whatever the fuck the insurance company thought it could be, your medical condition wasn't covered. Broke your foot, but had a lapse in health insurance in the last year or two? Now you have to prove your foot WASN'T broken before.
If you were a minority, job hunting was awful. People used "white" names on resumes just to get an interview, cause if your name wasn't Michael or Joe, then it went straight in the trash.
Metrosexual was a thing cause they needed a term for "I took a shower this week, but I still fuck girls"
Gay panic was an excuse to literally murder someone and get away with it. "He was trying to fuck me, so I killed him and tied him to a tree"
You couldn't adopt a kid, you couldn't marry your love, you couldn't be yourself, except in secret clubs.
Anyone who thinks the 90's were peak society were too young to actually know what the 90's were like.
