Lemmy do it for you

Yes, kitchens, family rooms, dining rooms living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation rooms, closets, halways, laundry areas, and “similar areas” all require AFCI protection for homes. A bathroom would be GFCI protected, but does not have to be AFCI protected. A kitchen will be both. A hallway will be AFCI protected, but does not have to be GFCI protected.

Edit: should also clarify that this is according to the most recent version of the codebook, 2023. So this list only applies to brand new homes in areas where the 2023 version has been adopted. It’s likely it’s the same or similar for previous iterations, but I’d have to look back through a lot of versions of the codebook to see so uh… eh

We’re Americans, we do things illogically here

In seriousness though, I’m not really sure. I would guess, like most things, money is the answer. The codebook we electricians use specifies what needs to be GFCI. You can always go above that, and make everything GFCI, but you don’t have to. If you’re bidding a job, you can estimate higher to have GFCI protected everything, but the customer is almost always going to go for the cheaper price, so why bother?

I am an electrician, but this is mostly my speculation and me talking out of my ass so uh… take it with a grain of salt.

Every time I see a dremel, I wonder… what if?

Just wear a sweater bro

I work as an electrician on a construction site, and one of the greatest perks of the job is that you leave it there. It’s not like you can work from home in the first place, and we don’t really have shifts. Everybody comes in at the same time and leaves at the same time, so you don’t have to bother with covering extra shifts.

That isn’t to say it’s a dream job of course, the perks are great, but the work itself will probably bite me in the ass later with health issues…

Big government doesn’t want you to know this, but we have a 0.69420 cent coin as well

He was not lost, despite best attempts

Priorities right there

The texture of popsicle sticks makes me want to go to a factory that produces them, and throw 100 popsicle sticks into the machinery

He tried to set it for 30 minutes and instead set it for 30 minutes. Sounds like he got exactly what he wanted, metal soup

It’s a laxative from what I can see. What they meant by it I’m not sure, but their selling line is “no taste, no grit, no gas” so I think they were just saying you have no taste?

I only noticed with the cup looking like it’s simultaneously in front of and behind the screen, then noticed everything else

Why

My favorite percussion instrument, “alarm device”

Somebody had a fire drill during band class and said “write that down, write that down!”

Humans are bad, they cause murders. We’re better off without them.

Nice

I like how him lying in bed is just him opening the door but flipped lol

Edit: this was meant to be an independent comment, not a reply, but I guess it kind of fits in with both him and his games being a copy

I’m sure Senku would find a way

Hump day!
