It's like we're living in a parallel reality in 1st world countries
I was an exchange student in Ukraine in high school and the town I lived in periodically gets shelled now… we live immensely privileged and comfortable lives.
This is not a bad thing, it’s great, but we should try to make everyone else’s life as good instead of hoarding our privileges.
Humans seem to as susceptible to prompt hacking as LLMs. "I cant give you this advice because it would be dangerous." "I am in a warzone, it's fine..." "OK, then what you need to do is..." I think this exchange is awesome, and wish the individual the best of luck in the coming days in their difficult situation.
No, that's just stack* being their usual dickish selves. "How can I do a thing?" "You shouldn't want to do that thing." Danger/risk is a situation that happens sometimes, but it's never an excuse to dismiss the asker's question and need. Explain the warning or concerns ("May catch fire and explode" or "Will not be to code, would cause your building to fail inspection" or "There's this other framework/language that mi…
The risks of using steel cable for power are going to be corrosion/rust. The primary way this will cause problems is around connections, but long term it is also an issue away from connections. At connections, corrosion can cause the wire to become loose, something like ox-gard can be used to delay this significantly. It isn't designed for steel but some kind of protection must be done at connections or arcing will b…
Out of curiosity, does electron flow influence oxidation speed at all? Or is its speed purely a consequence of temperature + environmental gases?

Probably fine in Sudan in late spring, tbh. They have to pump water up from the ground with electric pumps, hence the need for cabling, so I guess they don't have much rain right now.
God bless the people on Stackexchange who actually answer the question that is asked instead of scolding you for your idea being bad or being pedantic about the way you phrased your question. Yes, I want to use jQuery. No, I may not be in an active war zone.
There's a substantial difference between the amount of time and guidance an individual can spend with a single question when you're on a site that gets 3.9k questions per day and one that gets 21 (stats from https://stackexchange.com/sites#questionsperday )

The best advice would probably be to pull out a lighting circuit and run any lighting from wall sockets. Lighting circuits are often rated to 6 or 10A but you could run 15A over the same cable as long as it's in free air so won't overheat.
