Cell phone and internet outages at NC coast after fiber line cut

It appears that several phone and internet companies are having widespread outage issues.

It seems that Verizon and Spectrum customers are seeing the biggest issues, while Sprint and AT&T are having some issues.

Spectrum officials said a backbone fiber line was cut in Wilmington and more than a dozen crews are working to repair the line now.

One of RODALCO's videos showed a nameplate for the step-down transformer for the arc furnace:

PRIMARY SIDE:
35,000 volts AC
750 amps AC

SECONDARY SIDE (Tap #4):
620 volts AC
42,000 amps AC

That's about 45MVA (mega volt-ampere) so a little smaller. It's big a hot and noisy (audibly and electrically) but not all that significant.

Be aware that large water-cooled generators at power plants can put out like 250 to 1000MVA.

This one time, at band camp, a friend of mine who drove a pickup truck came up with a brilliant idea. It was hot as hell out there at marching band practice, but if he put down a tarp and filled the back of his truck with water in the morning, we'd have an amazing little "pool" to sit in and cool off during breaks! Then someone thought to do the math problem and figured out that we were talking about two tons or so of water, and the brilliant idea was quietly dropped.

That's less than 2 feet of water, and I'd say that's more 10 feet.

Does it look to anyone else like the side panels are made out of glass?

Even if it's tempered & say, 1/4" thick, it shouldn't even really stand up to what is (or was) in there already. And that is assumng the brackets on the steel are fairly large & spreading the load around.

No one with the idea of filling a pick up truck with water would ever do math. Story does not check out.

I had one and vastly exceeded that 1300lb limit several times and nothing happened. So unless the '05 and '13 models changed the bed design, that is overly conservative.

We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule



I'm pretty sure I would do that as a kid if I was home alone for enough time and had a tarp. Instead I made 3 storeybungie cords for my GI Joes, and built little fires out of the fake petrol+styrofoam napalm. The game was for the cobra forces to hit the fires and the joes to miss.
