I haven’t seen that. From a quick scan, it’s not in the patent; there’s no warning time given.
just heard an explosion outside and power went out
Went out and utility guys were looking at a pole on the next street. They said a squirrel got “into” the transformer, which was scorched on the outside. Fix is put a cover on it. RIP squirrel.
Getting a new transformer can take years these days.
Power here was only out for a few seconds. I think the transformer is ok. Squirrel, not so much.

We can still be aghast at the expenditure behind the drive for epistemological certainty when not half as much effort was put in to save migrants in the Mediterranean who were way more accessible.

I like how he tried to insult Whoopi Goldberg by implying that she somehow would crush a grape more explosively than most people.

I actually had that same thought…until I realized that it probably takes more psi to crush steel vs. causing a pressurized vessel to implode.
