If it's a break in the middle of the fibre, then they will use an epoxy housing for the splice.
I don't know the specifics, but something like this:
Cut/clean up the break, put through an epoxy housing and tighten the cable grips. Strip back the protective layers, clean cut the fibres and splice them all appropriately. Carefully stuff it inside the epoxy housing, fill with epoxy and let it set. Then burry/rig it again.
Those are what the large plastic cylinder things you see on cables are.
Similar housings are used for splicing copper (both data and high voltage) cables that have to withstand elements/burying, just the size (and possibly internals, epoxy type etc) change.
Black plastic cylinder that's larger than the cable, with a couple cables coming out? Probably a splice point

They just cut it roughly, strip back the protective layers, then do a very precise and clean cut on the actual fibre and polish the end.
Most of the time it will get spliced into a patch panel (instead of being installed into the patch panel). At which point the cleanly cut fibre is precisely aligned with the fibre from the patch panel, then melted together.
It's very precise. Splicing tools often use extremely high magnification, and very precise actuators to align the 2 fibre ends before they are fused

It's open source.
just deploy it verbatim, and change your laws and taxes to work with what the web services do!

Yeh, I can't believe an emergency service (which I would consider a government agency) is using a URL shortener.
No wonder scammers also use URL shorteners. People get desensitized to what they are doing, masking the actual URL

I hope he suggests musk seeks professional medical mental health.
Musk is not in a healthy position. Someone needs to reach out to him, so he gets help

Yeh, fair point. Getting the last word in

There is also absolutely no reason for him to do it.
If he does it, it will be purely out of spite

I knew it would be an xkcd before I clicked the link.
I knew which xkcd it would be before I clicked the link.
Even still, I clicked the link.
Even still, I chuckled

I'm pretty sure a lot of that is based on what is cached locally. I remember reading something about it.
Finding & clearing the local cache should fix it.
Saves them a ton of bandwidth I guess.

I get it as far as "they both have angles".
But one actually looks like a car.
The cybertruck has everything up front. Like they designed something, then had to concede that people have to use it, tacked something on, and didn't bother hiding it.
The delorian looks like it was designed with the fact there would be people in mind

Im pretty sure an incel blames women for not being able to get a relationship.
Its the change in mental framing from "maybe i should work on myself" or "i just havent had the right opportunity" to more of a "women hold too much power over me and are playing with me" or "ive done everything right, women owe me this"

Wikipedia sums it up better than i can:

Description of incels

The subculture is often characterized by deep resentment, hatred, hostility, sexual objectification, misogyny, misanthropy, self-pity and self-loathing, racism, a sense of entitlement to sex, blaming of women and the sexually successful for their situation (which is often seen as predetermined due to biological determinism, evolutionary genetics or a rigged game), a sense of futility and nihilism, rape culture, and the endorsement of sexual and nonsexual violence against women and sexually active people.

So, unless you find yourself blaming/resenting women, then you arent an incel. Your still just figuring things out like tge rest of us!
