AFAIK remote controlled circuit breakers are sometimes used on large ships, and presumably in other applications with heavy loads. When you have a 200 Amp breaker, just running a cable from a load location to a convenient control location (

Not that I would have qualified, but years and years ago when I looked at a Google recruiting page, it featured a picture of "field hockey in the parking lot at lunchtime", IIRC. I took that as a hint about age preferences.

Fun fact: When I was in a highly respected grad school in the 1980s (multiple Nobel Prize winners in the department), the QFT course was presented in such an obscure way, I stopped attending lectures, and I doubt anyone passed. The next yea

Depends upon what you set out to measure. lbs is specifically a unit of force. kg is specifically a unit of mass. It is a category error to equate these as measures, although (in many places) an everyday convention to do so on Earth .
