I down voted you, and that doesn't make you right. It's because you are annoying, and moronic.

It's really hard to refute willful stupidity. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

If your generator was connected to mains when they came back on it would probably just kill your generator. It is the least robust device in the chain. The next step is blowing up the transformer on the pole which is a spectacular light show. It is also very expensive, and will piss off your entire neighborhood who were just about to get power back and now have to wait for the power company to fix the transformer you blew up by being a dumb ass. Finally it is possible that you would trip out the switch yard which is going to make even more people angry. The biggest risk is you putting power back on the lines that people are working on. That transformer on the pole works both directions. It drops the usual 13.8kV on your local power lines to the 240/120V in your house. It will also turn the 120/240 from your generator into 13.8 on the lines that are being worked on. 13.8 will kill you before you even know you touched it. That is why line workers go through multiple tests before they get near lines they are working on. They will notice there is power on lines that are supposed to be dead. They will find where that power is coming from. They will fine you lots of money. There may be criminal charges.

There's a saying that all roads lead to Ankh-Morpork. And it's wrong. All roads lead away from Ankh-Morpork, but sometimes people just walk along them the wrong way.

Hook. I can still quote most of it from memory.

It's not the same, but I remember my friend and I absolutely wrecking an XBox live company team in Halo Reach big teams. We were an exceptionally mid team on the best days. It was so satisfying.

I definitely agree. The work WikiLeaks did, especially early on, shed light on things we probably wouldn't have seen without it. Then it became Assange's personal grudge machine, and I had a hard time trusting it after that. He insists he never did any curation of the leaks he released, but how do we know that's true once he started to show his bias.

Maybe SeveNeveS

Anathem is my personal favorite. One of the very few books I've read multiple times.

Assange denied getting any leaks from the rnc, but one of the alphabet agencies confirmed that the rnc was hacked at the same time. Getting any of this information is difficult at best now with how shitty search has become and the fact that any search you do will bring up podesta or the recent email leak. It's also sketchy that right after Assange started doing a show for RT. Assange is a self serving narcissist not a whistle blower, except when it's to his benefit.

Two motors. One to power one to steer.

Don't give Assange a pass for being a leaker. He had Republican emails in 2016 and choose not to leak them.

Personally I'd be wary of putting a giant brick of lithium in my house, especially from a company with the questionable quality control of Tesla.

Says the person bitching about politics online. Isn't ironic don't ya think?

Yeah, that's only acceptable if it's right wing government censorship.

The only game I've ever done 100% Mario 64

But you may call it Tim

The first game I played was either Pitfall or Combat. I was at a friend's house and he had both on an Atari VCS. The first game that was mine was Asteroids on my Atari ST.

Melania is Dollar Store Melania. This person looks like Dollar Store Melania from wish.com

I think they mean paying for these ads in the "creative" bookkeeping way.
