i was looking up how we ended up calling connectors male and female

The Talmud describes arrow heads and mating shafts as potentially being either male or female, depending on their construction, i.e. a prong on a male arrow head fits into a hollowed out shaft and vice versa. This is owing to a prohibition on a female shaft, from its susceptibility as a receptacle for impurity, for use as s'chach.[4]

おはようございます :ablobcatpnd_hiasobi:

昨夜は、東大寺修二会の六時の行法(日中/日没/初夜/半夜/後夜/晨朝)のうち、お松明後の初夜/半夜の行法を聴聞させてもらいました。

都合により23時で失礼したけど(法要自体は深夜2時まで続きます)、神名帳の読み上げまで居られた、やったー :blobcat_yaysuperfast:

explaining the shitpost

1: powerlock is a 5 cable three-phase connction system for high power applications, e.g. 3 phase 100 amps
it features mechanical interlocks to ensure that ground and neutral are connected before the phases

2: in grid applications, fuses are coupled so that if a single phase trips, the other two phases will trip as well. In higher voltage (e.g. 11kv) lines, this may be done e.g. with springs and explosive charges. if a fuse trips, that releases a spring, that hits a primer and fires some charges to cleanly separate the other two phases

French people really like to speak French and get miffed if you ask them to speak English. But we learned a hack! If you accidentally respond to them in Dutch, they'll quickly ask you to speak English instead!
