It’s used in many other foods as well. Shipped in drums of either liquid which is sprayed on or a pellet/dust form for mixing with dry foods. It’s easier to transport and store than a big compressed gas tank.

I updated my comment originally Dell and Nadella was missing

It doesn’t seem so much like real introversion in the Nordics as much as people are just comfortable being solo for long periods. The same people are perfectly capable of handling social interaction, they just don’t opt for socializing. It feels different to what I would consider a real introvert who fears and has trouble dealing with social settings.

You're confusing introversion and social anxiety/shyness.

What the article describes as introversion (comfortable with no interaction, longing for silence and solitude) is introversion.

What you describe as 'real introvert' is nothing of the sort. You're describing social anxiety.

tar cf - . | tar xf - -C

I never bothered to learn -C, instead I use:

    tar -cf - . | (cd ;  tar -xf -)

For doing something like duplicating root of a filesystem you may want --one-file-system.

with a sandwiched `| pv |` for fun stats

And `| ssh ` for a remote copy.

(or ssh prepended rather than sandwiched, to copy from remote)

At some point it starts very much looking like zfs send | pv | ssh zfs receive

Seriously. I do wish ZFS was everywhere.

I usually sandwich zstd and base64 encode/decode in with the ssh pipe. Used when I need root permissions to pull the remote dirs.

You shouldn't need to B64 encode for transfer - piping over SSH is binary safe. Verifying with 100Mbyte of random data:

    user@host:/tmp$ cat rnd.file | sha256sum
    71d3392be59210c517ab889fca715a46dee54f6326a9d901db0addd351607cb6  -
    user@host:/tmp$ cat rnd.file | ssh user@otherhost sha256sum
    71d3392be59210c517ab889fca715a46dee54f6326a9d901db0addd351607cb6  -
    user@host:/tmp$ cat rnd.file | zstd -z | ssh user@otherhost "zstd -d | sha256sum"
    71d3392be59210c517ab889fca715a46dee54f6326a9d901db0addd351607cb6  -

When using zstd (or anything else) make sure you don't have something in your .sss/config that would make ssh use a compression as you'll waste a bit of CPU to send a little more data as a less efficient compression method is applied on top. Though TBH I think that unless I'm on a very slow link, if I'm sending something big enough to need compression it is probably in a pre-compressed or otherwise uncompressable format anyway (video, photos, …) so zstd does little, the one exception I can think of being if I'm throwing an unencrypted VM image from place to place.

Insurance won't cover it if you're found to have non-code electrical as the source of a fire. Electricians are expensive, but it's worth having one inspect your work to correct/teach you the approved install method.

So you do it according to the code or better. No cheaping out on components, no shoddy work. Insurance won't revive you or your loved cat either.

Ideally yes. For me I found following the code difficult. Then compound that with needing to know the NECA <https://www.necanet.org/topics/codesandstandards/neis/the-st...> + the state codes. It's non-contiguous in the way it's written so you need to know the relevant sections and how to apply them together. Simple things add up; proper color coding of wiring, knowing how much sleeve to leave in at the edge of a box, what cable nuts are appropriate size for the number of wires bonded, size of box needed based on number of wires, how/where boxes can be mounted, space between EMT in bends, what size bus-bar is appropriate and what can share it.

To the first approximation you have to control thermal output of your wiring.

Since it's I^2*R, you have to size your wires according to max sustained current, take into account thermal conductivity of where your wires are placed and keep all contacts tight. Also size circuit breakers according to that max current so they trip before the whole thing catastrophically overheats. Which is a trivial exersize in itself.

Short-to-case and leak current protection (the reason for three-wire systems/PE conductors and differential protection) takes second place. In larger installations there are also considerations about grounding / ground loops, but that usually does not matter for residential.

This is what the most of the code should be about (I never read US ones, but was doing apartments/small homes for like 20 years already).

The rest, as in colors, sleeves and exact connectors used is helpful, but not critical, and if you think that a typical contractor would not botch it up in a most horrible way, well..

Your big assumption is that just because an “electrician” did it doesn’t mean they did it following the relevant code.

I ran PVC between my house and shop/office with 2 sets of single-mode fiber instead of ethernet. Electrical code will require proper grounding for copper for lightning strikes.

Do you have to do PVC or can you just bury the fiber?

Like /u/someothherguyy said it depends on the cable type. There are shielded and jacketed outdoor cables that don't require PVC/EMT, but usually you'll have to terminate them yourself so there's additional tooling required.

I went with PVC because it's the easiest to work with, NEC only required it be buried 12in below the surface for residential, but I went to 24". I oversized the PVC a bit so I had room to run more cables as well. I filled the trench with gravel, ran the PVC over that, then filled over it with some more gravel. A thin layer of dirt, marking tape and then the rest of the dirt. Rent a trencher if you have hard ground.

If you're having a licensed electrician do the work of connecting house and office power then you can ask them to run the conduit for it at the same time.

it depends on the cable type, what you are willing to spend, where you live, etc

i tried to find a page that wasn't terrible for this, still kind of bad though:

So much to do and so little time. But you’re right, it’s so important.

The first sentence of the article: “no evidence that rising numbers of undocumented immigrants are linked with violent crime.”

It depends on which bank you use. Swedbank requires calling and speaking with a rep to transfer internationally in addition to a BankID check.
