I was conversing on Facebook about installing ice baths, converted ones from chest freezers. And all the wimpy Merkins were going on and on about GFCI. So er.... they're in the main fusebox anyway? You guys actually fit them seperately for each outlet?
Pretty insane really, people brave enough to go in ice cold water afraid of your pathetic little 120V.
I wonder if you take more precautions because you still haven't worked out how to put plastic sleeves on your plug pins? Or put a fuse inside the plug, so it's rated suitable for the appliance, not the outlet.
On another forum, there was discussion about bitcoin mining, someone "kept tripping the 15A breaker" because he was using two 1kW power supplies. ROFL! I can draw over 6kW off one double outlet.
Is there a shortage of electricity over there or something?

Easy enough, you just put the front trailer where you want the front of the back trailer to be.

We call those categories and are stupidly listed as something like ab2CdfH, where each of a, b2, C, f, f and H mean something, and capital letters are completely different things.

To avoid weakening the sidewall, they are a raised moulding. You would have to find a way of gluing one on.

Technically. The press usually holds a trial before the defendant ever gets to court for high profile stuff like the alleged Idaho murderer that's all over the front pages now. I have no idea how they get an untainted jury.

I was bicycling one evening through an unfamiliar neighborhood with the sun in my eyes when I hit a speed bump. Taco'd the front wheel and did a face plant. I was not very happy. There are speed bumps where I live but I know where they are.

2018 Toyota. iirc the original Mini had 12" tires, sort of like a garden tractor.

When I went out yesterday I noticed a new set of ruts in a snowbank on a
25 mph corner. Judging from the rut width it was a 4WD pickup driver who found out about the laws of physics, coefficients of friction, and all that stuff.
The house on the outside corner going the other way started with an ornate white wooden fence. Now they're up to railroad ties and a hardware store's worth of reflectors. Somebody will drive through it before winter's end.

'Stability control' isn't useful if you want to have fun. I've had it stop the car entirely on a dirt road until I promised to drive like an adult.

Right. It's FWD and applies the brakes on the spinning wheel to transfer the power to the other one. If that one also spins it has a mental breakdown and brakes both wheels. With the newer model you can hold the button down and turn traction/stability control off but it will reset when the car is turned off. Better than nothing.

If you had your camera or phone with you, you should have taken a photo of your bike on the ground, and of your face bleeding, then made a complaint to the council. Are they called councils in America?
There are speedbumps near here which are painted on! Why would anyone fall for this?

You mean lawnmower?
And if I squat down, I can't actually stand up without the help of an arm. So carrying a wheel is rather difficult.
15", that belongs on a kid's toy!

Why not erect a very solid wall and destroy any idiot that hits it? Even better, thick steel posts hidden in a hedge.

More or less. Lot of semantics there, with blurred categories. Both garden tractors and lawn tractors are also referred to as riding lawnmowers. Garden tractors tend to be more powerful and may have other accessories like a plow or snowblower.
When I say lawnmower I envision my lawnmower, a 150cc push model. I never measured but the wheels are around 6" and made of plastic.
You are in sad shape. If you were in Canada they might suggest euthanasia.
Wheel sizes come and go. My father once bought a car because it had 15" wheels. The other US manufacturers had went to 14" and he didn't believe in 14" wheels. Or radios, automatic transmissions, and a host of other new-fangled stuff.
The first Toyota I bought had 14" wheels which is why I'm still running
14" winter tires. 15" wheels were optional. This one came with 15" but I believe 16" was an option. And it goes on from there. I think 20" wheels with tires that resemble rubber bands are the biggest but I'm probably wrong.
The rolling diameter of the whole assembly depends on the tire which are all over the place. There's a lot of gaming the system. The Toyotas came with low rolling resistance tires that had a tread life of around 20k miles, ridiculous on a light car. However they improved the fuel economy which helped to raise Toyota's fleet average.
Look at something like the Toyota GR86. Thee base model comes with
215/45R17 and the premium with 215/40R18. I have a suspicion the 45% aspect ration on a 17" wheel winds up the same diameter as the 40 on an
18" wheel. Whether the average racer boy would benefit by the possibly stiffer sidewall is questionable but big wheels a kewl.

More likely they would sue me for riding a bicycle on private property.

Traditional cattle guards are rather unpleasant at speed. I was following a woman in a BMW who tried to set a 75 to 0 record when she saw a paint job so she wouldn't damage her car. Luckily I was far enough behind so she didn't find out what a non-virtual 18 wheeler can do to a BMW.
