The fuses protect the lines upstream to the next protection device. That doesn’t mean every house could max out their breaker at the same time. Just like you can’t pull the max amperage on each circuit breaker in your panel without popping the mail breaker.
To answer your question, most American homes I’ve seen have 240V at 200A. Some older homes have 100A.
Primer
Insanely low budget, very realistic depiction of engineers. Super complicated plot which gives it great replay value.
If you watch it for the first time, the audio sync issues are not part of the plot. They had to re-dub a lot of the movie and they didn’t do a great job.

I keep trying to block reddit, but half of the good practical advice and troubleshooting help is trapped there.
If anybody has a giant directory of active messageboards, I’m all ears.
You can be too close to a door to close it.
so 1b is 1 butt or approximately 481l.
If you want to go really old school, get a ham radio license, then buy a handheld with APRS.
You can send out 5W packets with your GPS coordinates, that can be received and relayed by any radio in range. This can work completely off-grid, so no cell service required.
Getting your Technician license is super easy.
I didn’t say profitable. I said more profitable. As in losing less money.
Every video card that’s plugged into an AI data center starts losing money the second it’s powered on. It might actually be more profitable to mine crypto.
I had this bad when I first got into embedded design. I built a Nixie tube clock with a Parallax SX chip in raw assembly.
Running at 4MHz, I had to give it a nop loop where it spun for 4 million iterations just to increment the clock for a second. It lived a whole life between seconds and it would do this thanklessly tedious work forever.
Or how about airbag sensors or seatbelt pretensioners that check sensors thousands of times a second for years in the off chance that they detect a crash and save the life of a person who they will never comprehend for the 100ms duration of a crash just to get scrapped with the rest of the vehicle.
At one point I wanted to write a short story based on this concept. A story of unrequited love between a person and a machine that they don’t even know about.
Or in spec when the spec is very broad.

What’s frustrating is the occasional device that literally needs 30 seconds to drain its caps and you go back and forth with tech support claiming that you turned it off for a minute when it was really only eight seconds.

My first gaming PC I built in 2004 is still the fastest computer that has ever been.
Left school in Boston. Got a job in Rhode Island. Nine months in and I got bored. Started looking at jobs on Craigslist. Didn’t find anything local. Started scrolling down the cities in the right column. Made it alphabetically down to Seattle. Never been.
Got the job, moved.
Lived here for 15 years. Bought a house, met my wife. Found a place where I feel like I always belonged.
