  I got something more important — a life lesson! It serves me well now that I work in a corporate environment and turns out school is not that different, some of the management in my company even gives me back memories of the kindergarden.

  You are right, I can’t imagine that happening in the real world

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This kid gets it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was in high school we got to write an essay (or something like that, I don’t remember anymore) on some topic I didn’t have any opinions about, so I gave an empty sheet of paper with only my name on it. The teacher was really puzzled, an brought up this to me and my mom. She wondered why I didn’t cheat and copy something from the internet like a lot of my classmates did actually. We already had smartphones, it was around 2012-2013. I didn’t cheat because my parents taught me honesty, that was my answer to my teacher.

  Guess what? I got the lowest possible grade (essentially I failed this exam). People who cheated, and she knew they cheated got higher grades. Not that I’m complaining, I got the grade I deserved in my opinion. I would like to note that I wasn’t a lazy student or anything, it was this one time that I slipped up, and preferred to be honest about it.

  What school taught me is that cheating will get you further than honesty. If you can’t make it, fake it. This translated very well when I started working in a corporate environment.

  As someone who used to work for an ISP I always used to hate it when people acted like it’s the end of the world when there was an outage. I’m not saying this is you, but some people I guess imagine that things happen with a waving of a magic wand. Things brake, things need time to be fixed.

  I don’t know how your ISPs work, but in my experience the estimated time is usually way more than what they really need to fix it. They just do it in case things don’t work out as expected. You will be way happier it they tell you they will fix it in 5 hours and actually manage to resolve it in 1 hour. Instead if they say its going to be an hour and then spend 5 hours fixing it you wouldn’t like it as much.

  I know I’m replying to a 7 months old thread, but reading it got me wondering is there a limit to frequency? Well, I’m sure there is, my question is more like what is it? Is it when the wavelength nears or reaches plank legnth, if that even makes any sense?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the 2028 election was held today, who would you vote for?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how you got that idea since I said that the president resigned, not that he was kidnapped by a foreign country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the 2028 election was held today, who would you vote for?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, since my country’s government resigned under the pressure of a nationwide protests, althou elections will not be held today, they will be pretty soon.

  As to who am I going to vote for, I’m still askig myself this. All of the parties have proven themselves to be trash in one way or the other.

  And the newcomer party that is expected to appear will be formed by the former president, who also resigned last week, not because of pressure, but to be able to form a party and participate in the upcoming parliament elections. And while he was president he made some statements that made it very clear he has sympathies towards Russia, so a big NO on the voting there too.

  I wish! As someone who have lived in one of those concrete apartments from the communist era of my country, at least as they were made here, you do hear your neighbours. And if your neighbours have an active kid or a bigger breed dog that likes to jump a lot especially. Also every time they drop something on the fooor. I’m not very familiar with construction and material propeties, but there is something about concrete that carries vibrations easily. When a neighbour starts doing some renovations the power drill can be heard in half of the building (it was a nightmare for me, who worked night shifts at the time).

  Don’t get me wrong, I’d still prefer that hell to being homeless.

  Okay, now I need to read a sci-fi book where someone gets on this weird sci-fi planet, and maybe at the middle or end we find out that those are aliens and the planet is Earth. Sounds like a great premise and I’m sure such book was written. Please, someone tell me in the comments, I need to know.

  Well, everything is a dildo conductor if you are brave high voltage enough.

  Under high voltage the current still follows the path of least resistance even when it looks like it does not. What people don’t think about is that resistance is not a constant and under strong enough electric field dielectric materials (isolators if you will) can loose their propeties. Strong enough field can rip electrons from elements causing ionisation. Other things such as temperature, mechanical stress, radiation also affect different materials.

  So what high voltage changes is making it harder to resist, but charge will still follow least resistance and aim to go for the nearest lest resistance material if such is available.

  In Bulgarian “длан” [dɫan] (which in IPA is spelled close enough to “dłoń”] refers specifically to the palm while “ръка” [rɤˈka] can refer to the the hand, whole arm and some people may use it for palm even, although that last one is not correct.
