Okay -
- 1, that’s awesome;
- 2, for what purpose?
- 3, is it normal for buildings to have 3-phase in split into different single-phase sections? That feels like you could get some iffy stuff from wildly different loads on the different phases.
Okay -
Before my time, but they tell tales of the “Phantom Shitter”. Someone had… issues, physical and/or mental, and would leave streaks of waste both going to and from the bathroom. Very liquid waste. Sometimes stepped in. “Phantom” because initially no one knew who was doing it. They just found the results. Eventually he was found out, sent home for a bit, and then fired when it happened again after he came back.
Since I worked there: Guy came in for an interview. I don’t know if he was already having a bad day or what, but he got upset that his first interviewer wasn’t there to greet him at the front door. It escalated, rapidly, leading to threats of violence, an arrest, and a couple of cops searching his car.
…get out of here, Sarkic scum! The Machine endures forever!
It doesn’t look like they’re carrying any weight. If you look at this video of the opening ceremonies, right at the beginning you can see the athletes in the torch not actually touching the level above them.
Longer versions of the ceremony seem to show moments where the acrobats on lower levels both have their hands out into the air, or are even hanging from the level above them - suggesting any given level is capable of supporting both the weight of those below and above it.
Also, people who are just going, “eh, fuck the commerce clause, the states should just do their own thing!” totally forgetting the absolute shitshow this would unleash, both from private companies and conservative states.
From your comments it sounds like this is Europe? In the US, 3-phase residential is rare - usually limited to large apartment buildings.
Usually what we have is a “split phase” system, where it comes in at 240v and a local ground is used to divide it into two 120v legs.
It varies by state, but some states have requiring outdoor outlets to be on a separate breaker or GFCI (RCD) outlet already, for just this reason.
