    I think that Will Smith is pussy whipped by his wife and Scientology. I think she uses the church against him, with the threat that they will take his kids away and hide them from him. That’s the only explanation I have for his (slightly delayed) response with Chris Rock, and with Will being ok with his wife grooming their son’s underage friend and later having an open relationship with him on the side.








  • Back in the day your monitor(s) would have been drawing a lot more power (I’m talking way back with CRT monitors). Also, your PC doesn’t draw 750 watts all the time if at all - 750W is the max rating for the power supply. Even if you did have a very power hungry system (read: GPU) it would only draw that while running full whack, most of the time the PC will idle at lower clock speeds and lower power.

    Your soldering irons are probably only 25W, certainly less than 100W (unless you’re showing off). The big things are generally anything involving heating, but many of the things at your desk probably don’t use that much. After heating it’s motors. And, again, these things are generally not all on at the same time.

    Suffice it to say, there isn’t really any higher risk to the volume and type of load we have today than back when electricity was first installed in houses. It certainly should be said that the installations are much safer now than they used to be, where even a faulty install like this shouldn’t lead to a fire - if your cable is installed in ducting or kopex then even if a faulty termination heats the cable up there won’t be anything in contact with it to start a fire.

    But you should still get check these things checked out. The layers of redundancy by design are great, but you don’t want holes in the Swiss cheese to line up - that’s when bad things happen.













  • Any ROM works great without Google Play Services. If anything, having MicroG installed makes things work less - I have a banking app that works fine on my old phone, without Google, but won’t work on my new phone because of a CPS Profile mismatch.

    MicroG is a house of cards that is very difficult to get stacked correctly. Most apps work fine without it. For those that don’t, use something else, or just a web browser. Hell, you probably shouldn’t be using so many apps anyway, given that you really can’t be certain what they do when they’re closed source.
