Funny how most cars don\'t seem to need that.

That\'s because they have several (usually four) bolts or nuts that are
usually recessed - used to be behind hub caps.

Wire wheels on sports cars are fitted onto a spline and secured with a
large \"nut thing\" with wings that you hit with a soft headed mallet;
they could easily come loose if they rub against a mud bank if the
threads didn\'t have the right chirality.

Rolls-Royce used to use splined hubs, with a single hub-nut, but the nut
had a spring-loaded section around the hole. When the section was pushed
in, it could be screwed on and off, but when it spring out flush to the
surface of the nut, it locked into the splines. They supplied a special
hub-nut spanner that held it in when installing or removing it.

Of course you can use sealed fuses, or calibrated fuse wire (they sold

IN NYCity, my apartment building and I\'m sure most apartment buildings,
rentals in general, used Fustats.   It\'s an insert that screws into the
original fuse holder (which I think used the same thread as a
lightbulb), but the inserts have a different pitch internal thread for
each amperage.   So in the basement, I could only use one 20-amp Fustat,
and in my apartment, I could only use two 15-amp Fustats.

I have seen them.
I had no idea about the different threads.

Aren\'t they a bit expensive? Amazon doesn\'t help, because it wants to
ship to Spain before citing a price in those I find.

Each old switch or socket in my house has one of these:

https://images.app.goo.gl/3wm7PoAi8p7HPDgU7

Better with them in the plugs, then it depends on the appliance.  I can
plug a table lamp into a 13amp socket, but the lamp has a 3A wire.  The
fuse protects the wire.  Plug fuses are 1A, 2A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 10A, 13A.
But for some reason shops tend to sell 3, 5, 13.  To get the others
(obviously being a lot safer) you have to use mail order.

And the whole house had this:

https://images.app.goo.gl/3wm7PoAi8p7HPDgU7

In the site you can move to the inside photo:

Looks like a jewelery box, what do I do with that?

Wrap a strand of copper wire between the two screws. That\'s the fuse.

....

I used to, had to power the whole 6-room apartments, including sometimes
the last couple years a small air conditioner, on 20 amps.  Only blew
the fuse about 4 times.

My air conditioning unit is \"inverter\" type. Max power I think is
800Watts, not sure now. Say 1 KW. When the room has reached a stable
temp, it draws as little as 200 watts.

That\'s a pathetic size.  Mine is 1.5kW (not an invertor) which was the
smallest one I could buy (apart from one half the size for 90% of the
cost, which is just stupid).  Why have an invertor?  Mine just power
cycles.  It will also reverse to heat.

With cycles the temperature also cycles, up to four degrees. With an
inverter AC the temperature stays fixed at the mark and stays silent.

It\'s a trade-off. More shocks with 240V; more fires with the higher
currents required at 120V.

If the breakers are sized for the wiring, there is no fire hazard
there. Romex doesn\'t get hot at rated current. Fires are started by
appliances like space heaters, which wouldn\'t be affected by the
voltage. Or overloaded extension cords, arguably a lesser hazard at
higher voltage.

Very old houses had knob-and-tube wiring with twisted junctions, in
walls and exposed in attics, and people tended to screw in bigger
glass fuses than the wire could handle. That was, sometimes still is,
a big fire hazard.

In my house, or rather my parent\'s house, fuses were just a strand of
wire wrapped around two metal screws or some metal something. When a
fuse blows, you just put another wire. It it blows again, they put two
strands. Next, they put three... you see the problem.

Of course you can use sealed fuses, or calibrated fuse wire (they sold
that in the UK). But it is just safer to use calibrated breakers which
\"blow\" and you just throw them back. Of course they can be intentionally
\"sabotaged\".

Luxury.

In my time around the Music business, the standard valve amplifier fuse
was 100mA or 200mA. Or thereabouts. Naturally a fuse that fine stuck on
top of a 120dBa sound box wasn\'t a particularly long lived item, so the
roadies simply wrapped them in the foil from a fag packet.

That was probably still a fuse. Foil would only take a certain current before evaporating.

What is that reason?  There\'s nothing special about clockwise which

A quadcopter is a perfect example of this: four identical motors and
four identical propellers, except that two props have the same pitch but
opposite direction. A \"left-handed\" prop turning anti-clockwise and a
\"right-handed\" prop turning clockwise will generate identical lift if
the diameter and angle of pitch is the same. You don\'t need motors of
different power or props of different diameter/pitch to compensate for
one way being less efficient than the other.

Of course you must turn a prop in the direction that generates positive
lift rather than \"negative lift\". A \"left-handed\" prop and a
\"right-handed\" prop both turning clockwise would balance each other out
and don nothing (except generate a bit of rotational torque which would
turn the helicopter over, because the two props are displaced sideways
from each other. Actually if there were *four* props, I think even
rotational torque would be balanced: you\'d be expending a lot of energy
to have absolutely no effect ;-)

I see you haven\'t a fucking clue.
Quadcopters have two clockwise motors and props and threads and two anti
clockwise, anrranged diagonally opposite so that torque is evened out,
broadly.
To turn it you vary the power to one set of motors versus the other.
Pitch and roll is done by differential thrust on adjacent pairs

So, how is it \"like that\"? :>

We opted for \"black stainless\" appliances as they are much richer looking
than stainless (or black or white or...). But, they definitely have a
\"presence\" in the room. Especially as they are largely featureless.

Our countertops are dark -- almost black (but *not* black!) -- so
they similarly \"claim their space\".

Cabinetry and flooring are light. But, your eyes always \"find\" the darks.

The picture window there gives you a lot of glare from the
sunlight reflecting in from outdoors -- along with the 100+ sq ft
of glass in the room onto which the kitchen opens (no grass;
decomposed granite as a ground cover) And, as we have ~285
days of sunshine (~50 days of precipitation), the sun is
always something to contend with. It would be great if overhead
(e.g., a skylight) but coming in laterally it\'s a nuisance.

And, why would you want to close the blinds to block your view
of the out-of-doors? :> Watching the hummingbirds is a delight!

In general, you want to have constant light intensity between your
environs and task surfaces -- just like you want the room lighting
to be comparable to the light level from your monitor. Otherwise,
your eyes keep having to adjust to different light levels as you look
at monitor, then at worksurface (e.g., any paperwork you are consulting).

So, when you\'ve got a picture-window-sized source of intense light
to contend with, you need to up the lumens to counteract it. Also,
when coming in from outdoors; \"snow-blind\" (without the snow)!

Dimmers are a real win as you don\'t want to have that same level
of task lighting at night -- when the picture window is no longer
a source of competing light levels. Ditto for \"morning coffee\".

[Once I can find an \"automatable\" lighting solution, I\'ll ensure
the light intensity defaults to lower settings in these cases.
Right now, we have to manually adjust to suit our needs -- or,
go blind when surprised by the lights coming on at full intensity!]
