Here in Canada they make an exception to our 1m minimum rule for extremely small bathrooms where it is allowed to be as close as 50cm in a situation where a greater distance is not "practicable."
What's interesting with your regs' drawing is the safe zone distance is to the *inside* edge of the bath, where the water is. Any conductive metal trims or, hands holding the edge made conductive with bath salts, are inside the hazard zone. But then this is the *maximum* safe distance.

amyk: doesn't this mean that the LED inside the bulb has a Vf=440mV. Such a low voltage would indicate far infrared, as in incandescent light source. Am I right?

I can't understand where the fail is. Salon in French means, among other things, an exhibition or the place where an exhibition occurs. And this word, of Italian origin (salone), has cognates in other languages with the same meaning:

Salón - Spanish
Salão - Portuguese

Including English.

Oops my mistake it mistook it for awards for hair Salons.
Crossed it all out.

Sorry about that.

Don't feel sorry. If it weren't for your post I wouldn't know that for only $78.97 I could have a Negative Ion Generator that provides 360 EMF Protection for my Cell Phone, WiFi and Laptop.



It's the fail of the day.  :-+

I'm surprised with your Spanish and Portuguese understanding, you even used the correct accents on the letters. And the definition is right too.

Well, perhaps the keyboard is hidden by the desk and the mouse hidden behind the monitor.

You poor guys seem to be rather obsessed with cables. Here, have a look behind my desk.

Don't see any trails of wires and why is it placed in the middle of a pathway where the shade is?
Actually I am not sure if that is his shadow or a tree or something outside of the photo.



Google image lookup


Looks like the BBC fell for that scam as well.

Come on, no wires because it surely runs on solar, if not on quantum free energy.
The shadow is of that hipster himself.
The BBC got their ad revenue when you opened the article so everything is alright :-+

Oh yes I forgot, must be solar panel but I don't see the solar panel unless it is in the shape of their logo on the top.

That must be a pretty old report. Waterseer were already busted in several videos and as far as I know they went bankrupt a while back. Their last attempt at selling these was by packaging a Walmart dehumidifier in a Waterseer branded case and tried to sell them for about 10x the price of the Walmart device.

User working inside electrical panel with fingers touching blade of non-insulated screwdriver.
Now it is a telephone surge protector, but those wires can carry 105 VAC (or more) when ringing.

The line voltage alone can be pretty nippy, especially if you have a small cut in your hand, and it is a hot day, and you are dripping with sweat. It bites. Did however get 2 garbage bags of copper wire that was unused out of the boxes, so that the PBX could be moved.

Came across this picture on Facebook of a woman working on a communications tower. I'm guessing it's a wireless ISP tower since the kinds of antennas look too diverse to be a cell tower.

Yes, that's the real question. Not that a woman in plain clothes and sandals, with no tools, is working on transmission equipment presumably high off the ground. I hate to think she climbed on live equipment for a rear-focused photo op.

Stock description fail rather than a stock image fail.  Spotted this yesterday whilst looking at leadlighting supplies.

What makes you think she has no tools? They could be on the concrete pedestal or she might be holding it out of view.

Where I work, pretty much everyone works on the company's rooftop solar arrays in regular clothes. (They're small arrays so no significant arc flash hazard.) In the US, the norm in tech companies seems to be that special clothes are only needed if there's a good reason for them.
