It seems more likely that it crawled into the stack vent on the roof and came down with the current. Still doesn't address why it didn't stop at any of the floors above, but maybe they were all occupied.

I don't understand your point. Isn't the galvanic isolation implemented in the optoisolator by an air gap between the light transmitter and receiver? Maybe I don't know the definition of air gap?

The point is you don't need the opto isolator at all.

That's a separate point. Are you agreeing that if an air gap was needed an optoisolator would be suitable?

You're seriously asking why the Arab countries who would be thrilled to see Israel vanish "recognized" a "genocide"?

Maybe the VP was wearing a newer model.

The VP made a deal to hand him over and take power.

And doing that requires Elite Ball Knowledge

Nurses.

A lot of nurses leave the profession because of the abysmal financial and working conditions.

Unions and striking have been slowly changing that, thankfully.

In the US, we have a living history of discriminatory policies based on race

Yeah. I've heard about it. So this wouldn't be a problem if it affected a different group of people?

Probably not because if it affected white neighborhoods, it either wouldn't be enacted, shut down after complaints, or receive enough bad press as to be shut down.

That's a lot of assumptions. If they wanted that to be the point of the article they could have done it a lot more explicitly.

It isn't affecting (and historically doesn't affect) the "different group" though. That's the point.

It would be the exact same problem, and equally bad.

I agree. Which is why I think that detail is not relevant and just a distraction.

Because the people who decided where to locate it and the people in government who could do something to stop it make decisions about how much they care based on those folks’ skin color. If those generators were placed near a rich white neighborhood, the government response would be wildly different.

Mississippi in particular is well known at the state government level to actively choose not to enforce environmental regulations in areas where its Black citizens live.

And TFA addresses this. South Memphis was a community largely composed of freed slaves, where manufacturers set up shop, the military dumped waste (now a superfund site), and people have continued to mark the area for polluting industries for generations.

To be fair they would definitely do this to rural and/or poor white people too.

Maybe. East Palestine OH got a decent amount of political attention.

You will after you have to pull the dishwasher out, turn it upside down and partially disassemble it to clean the filter which is blocking the flow of water intended to rinse your dishes.

So what race are the Israeli savages and what race are the people they're murdering?

Premature optimization would like a word.
