Or burgled and tossed, depends which side of the coin you;re on. I worked for BT (Briefly) in the burgeoning era of the early '90s. They had been state owned, Then privatised and told 'business as usual'... Suddenly other companies were allowed access to their equipment and premises, by LAW, private company bear in mind... with the added salt in the wound that they couldn't compete on the proverbial level playing field due to restrictions, USO, etc.....
Did it ultimately help the UK telecomms system hell yes
Was it handled well, and equitably, HELL NO
by 'full fibre' access... I technically have it, but only through Toob. I am happy with A&A so I am still awaiting openreach fibre. But because we have toob available, openreach haven't made my postcode a priority. All direct buried 1960s cable, so no ducting to the house, and all underground. Hence not a priority
NEC says 'first point of disconnect' which as you say, may be a switchfuse or breaker next to the meter.
Point of order to the ,DE poster, UK isn't ALL TN-C-S (with a combined earth/neutral). Round here we have a lot of TN-S from the 50s and 60s still, and rural areas are often TT (no earth at all supplied by the power company, you rely on your own rod/earth electrode, and need a time delay RCD on the main for fault protection
Biden got a large and statistically anomalous number of votes because people wanted Trump gone. And unfortunately went on to become such an embarrassment, that Trump got in again.
Trump is well known to be corrupt in business, and a very poor statesman, but the dems dropped the ball
... the local council contacted all the utilties before a large block of flats went up in our road. The council dug the entire pavement up, and allowed all the utilities to do their various things, BT, Gas, Water, Sewer, surface water etc. Then when it was reinstated back to flat hardcore, the council themselves resurfaced the entire pavement.
2 weeks later Videotron came along and dug a zigzag trench through the nice shiney new pavement for the cable tv.
The council were NOT happy
As an example, i got zapped by a neutral on one distribution panel, because someone had it connected to a circuit from A COMPLETELY SEPARATE PANEL IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE BUILDING. Me opening the main disconnect isolated half the building, but the backfeed from that made the entire neutral bar live.. People will do shit that should NEVER happen, you can't protect against that. Have a third beer
Indeed, add to that a following popup offering a signup to a newsletter, then yet a third which suggests you follow them on faecalbook, which when you click the X re-directs you to the initial cookie popup but this time with the 'yes i'll take all the bloody cookies just show me what i was looking for' button offscreen, stage left.....

Office 97 still works on windows 11, (you may require a USB cd drive lol) and the .docx incompatibility isn't really a problem. All modern versions of turd..sorry word, can read .doc, and if someone sends me a .docx, not hard to read it with freeware.
Edit... it would become a chore if i used and edited dozens of .docx files a day, but that is not my use case, YMMV
I guess so, although it's not very dangerous. The 'safe limits' are hilariously low. Coal power station fly ash is way more radioactive than anything nuke stations are allowed to release. Nuclear power, done PROPERLY is one of the greenest forms of energy. And commercial pilots aren't overly bothered by radiation :)
I believe while not needed per BUILDING regs, the gas safety regs require them. Every heating engineer we have dealt with has either provided a battery one or requested a heat and co alarm in the room or cupboard the boiler is in, hard wired into the building's smoke alarms. Aico ones (the only brand we fit) have a different tone for fire or carbon monoxide
