I wonder if would you get your electricity cut off if you plugged in a 750kW industrial oil drill in your backyard
Comment on ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy

Sony can’t have your electricity cut off if you pirate. Because electricity is a utility.
ISPs want it both ways. They want the legal protections of a utility without the obligations.
The solution is to give them the legal protection they want by declaring them a utility.

The 200A main breaker on most homes would trip a little above 50kW. Could you even start up 1000hp without 3 phase?

I wanted to exaggerate for comedic purposes, I had 500MW written initially 😄

The people who sell electricity are surprisingly happy to sell you electricity. If you happen to do something horribly wrong and don’t burn your house down, an electrician will be happy to do the repairs. If you have 200 Amp service and draw the full 200 all year long, the most significant reaction would probably be getting a personalized Christmas card.

Those moments when you can’t decide someone’s username means they’re a science nerd or a Venture Bros. fan.

Who in their right Minds would want to be a nerd but not a venture brothers fan?
