Zhentar posted:The main problem with ring circuits is that they need relatively balanced current flow on both return paths. A break or high impedance connection in the ring unbalances the flow, potentially causing an overcurrent condition that can't be detected by the breaker, and without any visible fault to occupants. Testing to detect those failures requires disconnecting the circuit from the breaker panel and measuring the impedance between the two ends of the circuit (and even that can fail to detect faults if there's bridging) - and then assuming that the re-connection is performed correctly. Spurs don't have two return paths, so you either don't use them, or use extra copper. Also on an imbalance you can turn your wiring into a loving huge electromagnet .

In all seriousness though there are people with handicaps that prevent them from dealing well with a doorknob or latch handle, but don't prevent them from dealing with stairs. For example, hand/arm amputees, or even just a thumb amputation.

Time to get specific handicap signs?

It's a symbol accepted more for its meaning than its actual representation, like the floppy disk.

I used to work for Amazon, which very carefully tracks the rate at which orders are being placed. Once got paged in for a massive "order drop", where the order placement rate on the UK and German sites had dropped way below normal. We tested all of our systems, as was everyone else who got paged, we couldn't find anything wrong...then orders spiked back up for a bit before dropping again. Finally someone pointed out that the UK and German soccer (football) teams were having a match in the World Cup. Sure enough, orders returned to normal as soon as the game finished.

GotLag posted:Is he just letting go of the chainsaw? A lot of chainsaws have a throttle safety built into the handle, so if you ever let go of the handle, the throttle will drop back to idle and stop the chain.
