East 4th Street, Cleveland, Ohio, 1982 vs now. Originally a shopping district, turned into a pedestrian-only nightlife/entertainment district in the 1990s.

So by that same logic, Canadians don't get to claim maple syrup since that too was harvested by indigenous tribes long before 1867.

I know this is a common SW trait, but I love how Auribesh text throughout the series transliterates into English. Take the corner shop on Coruscant for example. (plus bonus Auribesh translation chart)

(I couldn't translate the bottom text in that sign because it was too small to read, so I did my best with that part.)

ROV footage and Ballard crew commentary during the moment Titanic was found, 40 years ago today.

The part where everyone gets excited that they found a boiler still gives me goosebumps.

EDIT: Yeah, I noticed my mistake in the title right after I posted. 41 years ago, not 40.

These dish antennas were recently installed on a decommissioned power plant chimney. Apparently they're part of a microwave relay system that connects the stock market exchanges in NYC and Chicago. (Avon Lake, Ohio)

Dedra must have been a thorn in the side of ISB for years regarding the killing of potentially useful sources of information, that even Krennic was getting bored of her protests.

Spliced circuit within sub panel: code?

My garage (with a small attic/loft above) has a 60Amp sub panel. I had to replace one of the breakers for the receptacles yesterday.

When I had the panel open I noticed an issue with the lighting circuit: It appears to be spliced to two sets of Romex cables that run out of the panel. One goes to a wall switch in the garage that controls the ceiling lights, and the other runs up to the attic where it connects to a pair of fluorescent fixtures.

I've never encountered this before in a panel other than some very old ones (the panel was installed in 2011 by a previous owner, but the garage was built in the 1970s and still has some old wiring). Is this kind of splice within a panel box acceptable by the NEC-- I couldn't seem to find any info-- or is it something that needs correcting?

Thanks.

Do "double" smart switches exist? i.e., a smart switch that fits in a single width box, but has two independent controls?

I have a dual switch that controls two sets of outside lights: one for the wall sconces next to my front entrance, and the other for a garden lamp post and a set of landscape lights. I'd like to be able to keep the controls for the two separate.

If need be, I could cut bigger hole in the wall and replace the single width box with a double, then get two smart switches, but before I start doing all of that I'd like to know if a double smart switch is a possible option.

Thanks.

So I was watching the wonderfully awful Troll 2, and I realized that Creedence's default "ugly" look is way hotter than her "hot" alter ego.

I'd live as an immobile plant in her house any time.

It's amazing that in just one year, the Senate went from booing Mon Mothma to supporting the Rebellion so hard that Palpatine dissolved it

Rewiring my garage addition (built c. 1950s). I'd like to reuse some of the holes in the top plate above the subpanel to run the new NM through. Is there any trick to removing those porcelain tubes, or can I just chisel away at them? They seem fairly embedded and won't budge.

A majority of the holes are centered and more than 1.25" from the front face of the top plate. I'll abandon the ones that are closer (the fourth and fifth ones from the right).

I guess I've... uh... been listening to the Andor soundtracks a lot on YouTube. Don't know whether to be proud or ashamed.
