I think in this case the power heating the pipes is not coming from this house’s electrical service, so killing the main breaker probably won’t help.

When this was posted on Reddit recently, someone claimed this was caused by a fallen power line that made contact with a gas line. So, power flowing into the house through gas pipe and back out through equipment grounds, heating up lower resistance gas pipes in the process.
Photo reportedly taken by fire fighters or gas company employees.
Edit: I meant to type higher resistance…
unless the gas pipe melted through
That looks pretty damn likely imminent to me…
So glad my wife is not like that
I for one have been in denial and probably won’t switch away until it literally stops working. So, there’s hope.
The word “just” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your edit. The replacement for that dependency doesn’t allow an extension to work as an ad blocker as effectively as the thing they are deprecating. This is deliberate.
As if pointing out a single grammatical flaw somehow destroys their entire argument
That’s not what that means. That means the person responding cared so little about what they had to say that they are completely ignoring it. It is an insult in the form of disrespect.
Well, this stranger is happy for you! Here’s to a much happier and healthier future.
It sounds like you are already doing this!
Congrats and good luck!
But how is that a criticism of the Mac mini? All it does is give you purchasing flexibility (eg if you already own Apple kbd/mouse). It is like you are implicitly arguing that they should raise the price and include those components. But that would be bad for some consumers that already have those items and would help nobody because you can already buy those separately.
There are four lights
But in this context, desktop includes laptops. People still buy those.
I’m not sure that conclusion follows. There are many more potential future users than there are current users.
Your first sentence suggests you’re disagreeing, but nothing you said after that is incompatible with anything gp said.
I have fond memories of using my N900. But I would not have described it as well working :) It worked, sure, but not particularly well.
So someone builds something and offers it to you for free and you hate them because they didn’t offer it to you in the way you want it.
I think everyone always gets the direction right the first time. That’s why, when it won’t go in, and you rotate it 180, it still won’t go in and you have to flip it back to the original direction to finally get it in.
Why not both
Sorry, I meant to type higher resistance. On my water heater, the equivalent part that is glowing in the picture is a really thin flexible corrugated gas pipe that surely can carry much much less current than the iron gas pipe feeding it before it went really high resistance. I could totally see it glowing like this with enough current. But if it is aluminum (not sure if it is), what you said makes sense.
My gas pipe to the house comes out of the ground inside a plastic protective pipe sleeve, so I can imagine it possibly not having enough of a low resistance path to earth to trip one of the cutout fuses on the primary distribution line. Granted, mine also has a big ground wire bonding it to the house ground, which I would think would help here…
/shrug I was just sharing what I read. It was supposedly the explanation as to why local breakers on the house didn’t trip.
