true, unless it's low voltage PoE. i think the building code only covers standard voltage.


Anything high enough amperage is a fire hazard, even if its a low enough voltage to not be a shock hazard. Also “PoE” is a very loosely followed spec, there are a lot of non-spec PoE devices out there.


darn ! now I know about it too...


why so frightened ?


Just a follow on joke response


safest place for that is in a communist state, where crime is a monopoly of the Party.


problem is keeping up with the volume of new books/articles coming out daily.


i think there is a "cabal" everywhere where moderation is involved. i have hit the wall on various platforms. i just try to move on, there are things that are more important in life than who is right on the internet.


i agree, that is annoying. i think it can be zapped with things like ublock


> "The truth can be very elusive" no shit, this must be the understatement of the day. not sure if people care much about truth these days, maybe rather just for validation of their biases. having said that, wikipedia is the site i turn to most often for information so i agree - it is the last good place...


you mean like youtubers, tik-tokers, influencers ... ?


I don't know that I would put youtubers in that category, there are a lot of youtubers who put a ton of effort into their channel and make it a business. Tik Tokers could qualify, guess it depends, but influencers can easily be either or. Making yourself into a brand takes effort but I would argue that most of the time it isn't effort that makes other people's lives better.


yes, there are the millions dead in various "cultural" and agri-"cultural revolutions, the millions dead in gulags because they opposed the horrors of communism. i grew up in it, and it makes me vomit when someone mentions that murderous ideology.


There are plenty of Marxist communes with no dead, but they never worked, either. The US has had something like 20,000 of them.

It's probably the most tried and failed system in history. There are even examples that predate Marx - the Jamestown and Plymouth settlements.

It's perfectly legal in the US to set up a commune. The people who want it are free to give it a go.


true, like there are many cults that last for a while before they become murderous or just peter out. when it scales up to country level (USSR, China, Cambodia, Cuba...) communism is always murderous. Just give me an example that contradicts that.


There’s a whole lot of spectrum between what GP’s parent is suggesting and communism. In fact, no one even brought up communism until the parent’s fairly vapid Marx quote. Is that the one that made you vomit?
