I always wondered why power company can't just turn off that whole section when stuff like that happens, a big power outage is better than someone possibly getting hurt.

Quite impressive show though.

At 2:00 "yup, still on fire"

Speaking of electrical finished installing my fixtures in the basement 2x dual T8 fixtures and short T5 fixture in an area that had no fixture before. The bulb that came with it is wrong color temp though, but oh well. I tend to like cool white.

I'm probably good to go turn them off now. I like to leave new lights on for "burn in", no idea if that's even necessary, I think it's more of a ritual than anything.

Trees don't present a high enough load to trip reclosers or blow fuses. It will burn until there's a phase to phase fault. And the power can still come on two more times before it's locked out. The response on these is way too long for sure. Most SCADA gear doesn't even have the default passwords changed so someone with basic skills could shut it off sooner.

And speaking of stuff frying, here is one of my favorite poems...

FL lamps need no more burn in than a pair of headphones.

And there's several cool whites. Hopefully yours is the high quality or deluxe version. There is an efficacy penalty but the over 90 CRI is worth it!

High quality audiophile headphones do require a very specific burn in time using a calibrated sine wave generator at a very specific temperature though. Some audiophiles would probably actually believe that.

Swing arm style drivers in IEMs definitely need some run in to realize their potential but the majority of listeners wouldn't notice (nor own $1000 USD IEMs!)

I left my UE10 Pros connected to the output of our Dynacord mixer for a few days for the hell of it anyways.

I've had earbuds in the past that needed breaking in, but they weren't in the $1000 range.

Just ran them on high for about 80 hours without using them in my ears myself.

Your ears just need to adjust to the headphones. That is enough burn in

Especially when the headphones are basically a solid bakelite shell with a radio speaker in them and you're probing in a live transmitter for audio and accidentally land on a plate source rail!

thou art seriously disturbed

 

[sdifox]

is it too much to ask for a universal prereq check on linux packages? just tell me a list of what I need to have installed first.

 

[sdifox]

I am installing like two billion lines to run a one hundred line sample.

 

[sdifox]

and what is with the compiles? why not have target bins?

Yeah I hate Linux dependency hell. That's one thing that needs a MAJOR cleanup in Linux, the way stuff gets installed. Yeah they have package managers, problem is you need a package for that exact distro, which is not always available, or the one that's available is too old. There needs to be a more universal way of dealing with software installation that is not distro dependent.

That's one thing that's nice in Windows, you can have a binary and it just runs. You can't do that in Linux since a binary only runs in the same or similar environment it was compiled in. So they are not portable.
