As an Englishman, is it faux pas to want to visit and observe a French protest or even join in? We don't do protests as well over here as the French and I'd like to see one in person. But I don't want to ruin the vibe if my presence would do that.

    Genuinely really good stuff to have in a first aid kit for stabilising. Also there's loads of different colours so if you do any sports it's good for providing a little extra support for things like wrists and ankles.

    So I happen to know that these data centers are being built so fast that the substation manufacturers can't keep up with the orders for indoor substations and Google specifically has switched their choice to outdoor substations.

    This means THEORETICALLY if you find some way to disperse fragments or powder of metal across the exposed conductors of outdoor substation components like circuit breakers, transformers, etc. you could cause anything from a shutdown for cleaning and maintenance to a full on arc fault that would cost them $100,000's to low millions to replace.
