Modern day problems require modern day solutions

It pays so little nobody would even think of doing it if they didn't literally need to to survive.

Not everyone has a stupid cursive L on their keyboards, marmite

So you're saying they're designed with more than a LOTO point and some bolted lugs?

I mean the other guy is being a dweeb, but his core point seems fair. If it's a big standard cable manufactured in bulk for a charger, shouldn't it have less overhead.

It's not a long distance and they don't have super large gauge. I'd have expected 0 or 2/0 but apparently 2-4 is common.

Several states do this, probably more profit than door dash.

You're a terrible human being with reading comprehension issues and a weak grasp of history. I would rate you better than our current president, who is a pedophile and a rapist. I would rate you on par with Alex Jones.

It's typically meth heads that are stealing all of the copper.

If this is how the Western world arrives at harm reduction and UBI for everyone - that it's just good business - I'm not even gonna be mad.

Ugh. Honestly, I'd quit. And I actually like repairing things. You'd have to bring in "the guy" that just really enjoys this kind of repetitive and error-prone repair task.

All I see is a 4000 piece jigsaw puzzle

Actually, this one is less fun, just corrosion. good thing there's enough slack to do it all again!

The cables of HPCs are liquid cooled. Replacing them is not trivial

[email protected]

You know there's more to it than just raw copper, right?

The cable itself, insulation, active cooling, labor, complicated build process, specialized installation, etc.

Don't be daft.
