inPanel shorted out during a downpour at a condo in Miami last month
oh man, water damage is the worst lol. honestly i feel like this is just part of a bigger thing where cheap materials and shortcuts in construction are biting everyone in the butt. like, you see it with appliances too, not just panels. my friend's brand new dishwasher leaked all over her floor because the seal was a thin piece of rubber that gave out in like a year. they just don't make stuff to last or handle real life surprises like a pipe burst or a downpour. i'd probably swap the whole panel out, just not worth the headache of corrosion popping up later. but yeah, it's crazy how often we're fixing stuff that should have been built tougher in the first place.

inHad a guy at a tech meetup tell me blockchain would kill email by 2020
Honestly @lisa_jones21, I gotta ask - did that bar guy ever tell you what his backup plan was when regular cash didn't disappear? Because I met a similar dude at a coffee shop who swore gas stations would start accepting Doge by 2020. Still paying with my phone at the pump.
