I mean, to be fair the water pipe analogy is pretty good as the pressure performs work done per unit volume, and voltage is work done per unit charge which takes up a specific volume of the wire.
But you’re right, with A.C. that analogy gets complicated unless supposedly you had water going back and forth in the pipe, but that is still transmitting energy like a wave does.

An organic heat shield for spacecraft then.
- Comment on Why did the Crocodile Hunter die? Was he aggervating sting rays. I watched and messed with them in the gulf. But not one has ever try to sting me. Was he piising them off that much? 3 weeks ago:
From the wiki article:
The stingray, possibly mistaking Irwin’s shadow for a tiger shark, suddenly “propped on its front” and stabbed Irwin several times with its tail.
It is presumably the only known human death by stingray.

In Prometheus Rising, the comparison between politicians eking out borders is compared to animals rubbing feces and piss on trees.

Wrong attribution to NASA aside, I think all adults know that there is much more surface tension than water in errr…the rope. Thanks Raiderkev for that awesome rundown in the comments.

Well everything needs to be studied conclusively but wow.

Last bit of the article says the SLC characterises the weekend courses as distance learning.
The definition of distance learning is ‘online’. These students were being taught face to face.

“I said to the police, ‘it’s better safe than sorry’,” he said. “I’m not blaming the police, they were very nice with me. I was being nice with them, we work together. That’s why we pay our taxes so we keep ourselves safe.”
Again, I don’t think he took issue with being processed in handcuffs after being mistaken for a suicide bomber.

Guy was running around in a vest that looked like a bomb vest, close to a Jewish community while in other countries they are being simultaneously threatened. You think they were going to end it there, by not taking him into the station and giving him a chance to make a statement for in case there’s some kind of pushback or worse, he gets targeted too?
He said they treated him well. I’ve been in handcuffs before (employer cancelled my visa in-country) and it’s not a big deal.

It’s an incident that needed to be processed unfortunately.

- Comment on Just vibing 3 months ago:
It’s fun to calculate that from a socket to a light bulb it may take something close to a few hours for one electron to get to the bulb, but even then that’s an average. Some electrons don’t even get to the light bulb ever.
- Comment on GOG now using AI generated images on their store 3 months ago:
The amazing thing is that people generated AI art and then say
“I generated some AI art.”
No you didn’t, you told an AI model what to make using what is virtually search terms and some constraints.

- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 4 months ago:
I always recall Bose for their high quality almost ‘vintage’ devices, and they should encourage their newer digital devices to become the old high quality devices that still work, sitting in someone’s home.

- Comment on Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max has the world’s brightest phone screen 5 months ago:
I can see my phone in bright sunlight, not sure why it would need to be any brighter except to be brighter than every other phone. On another note, imagine picking up your phone after sleeping and it’s accidentally on manual max brightness. Ha!
