I dig that idea
Itâs certainly not boring
You sure youâre getting the whole picture here? These ideas donât exist in a vacuum you know.
House got hit by lightning. Looks like itâs taken out the tv and PS4
All I know is people riding it are always feeling light hearted as thereâs plenty of levitation
Awful mate, bet that was a big shock.
insurance - PS5 and new telly time.
I went to Glasto last weekend - my body is in total pieces still. Camping for 5 nights, with little sleep, a lot of drink and dancing/walking has taken its toll! Was awesome though.
More importantly can we buy someone.
My patience is wearing thin.
Someone give me Kephrenâs no. I need to move things along !
Has anyone mentioned wormhole yet
HDMI cables, if you have an aerial seems to be the easiest ground for lightning. Our collective aerial got hit by lightning, my son saw it, the ligtning could be seen going to every house (apparently itâs the other way round but who cares?). Most of my neighbours had blown fuses and stuff. Went through my HDMI recievers and blew them all from AVR amp to internet TV box where the aerial was connected, blew 1 fuse as well.
Even if a hint of a lightning storm un hook the aerial from the wall at least.
Replacing the HDMI recievers might work however other damage could have neen done (in my case it blew 1 channel of my AVR amp (thankfully cheap rubbish and I went back to stereo, which I prefer anyway and eventually got some real decent HiFi Gear).
Worked in a school once years ago. External network cable got hit. Toasted every switch and ethernet card (those were the days) in the building. Nice job replacing the lot.
Is this another case for using fibre optic cables?
Youâre never running fibre (these days) to an external classroom. Iâd do it with a wifi link now. I get the point though.
My daughterâs school invested massively (before I joined) on a fibre to building link from the road cabinet (which had copper back to the exchange). They couldnât understand why it was so slow. They LOVED having a new governor who explained exactly how much money theyâd wasted. The joke was that Virgin fibre ran past the school but the council didnât work with Virgin and they HAD to do things the councilâs way.
Just got a txt from Talk Talk, fibre to property about to be available for us!
A few years ago we lost a pc and had to get a laptop repaired after a storm. Since then weâve had fibre optic installed. I still disconnect everything now at the hint of a storm. Do I need to ?
Not needed. Iâd still get your electrical lines at your house checked though.
Disconnecting certain valuable stuff is always worth while particularly in France (We get Cevennoles here they are wicked). However the collective areial is high in comparison to other builds around.
Once living in the center of Avignon lightning hit across the road and a plastic box (to do with telephone wires I think) caught fire. Electric storms here can be catastrophic.
Cevennoles? Is that a small golf course? We have nine holes and eighteen holes over here.
