Unclear if this is OSHA approved or not

Wait until they see the hot water method of launching a rocket!

Nice to see the alt text now!

👍

I... Um... That's... not exactly the method I teach.

Now I can set an electrical fire from anywhere

Also bring a lighter and matches. You'll use up all your reserve energy trying to start a fire through friction. Wild water needs to be both filtered and boiled. Wools conserve more heat than cottons and synthetics.

I had a friend who built a house fire this way.

I was taught the log cabin method of building a fire too. Though the person who taught me didn't know about electricity. We had to send in ants with matches to act as scale model arsonists.

That's the "Building codes are just 'The Man' getting in my way!" method.

Wait until you find out how DNA passes on its structures.

😉 Nice one! Taken from reality huh?

“log cabin method” then “build a square cabin” set me up for a maths joke so that ending took me by surprise

This gives me "I accidentally built a shelf" vibes

It's all about applying the skills you already have to the situation ^3^

a building code joke? oh my goodness we really are branching out, lol

A lot of breakers in the US are 15A per circuit, but add that up and you start needing quite a bit more coming in from the lines. (But I think a couple are usually a bit more than that, like for an electric oven or air conditioning. My lights flicker when the AC turns on, sometimes.)

Typical new build in the US is 200 amps. Would get by with 100 if we ran more off of 240 volts.

Here in the UK, 100A is common.

As usual, it's all Ea Nasir's fault.

And maybe twice as much fire hazard. But a lot less risk of deadly electrocution.
