Thanks for not using ‘AI’ for this.

What does any of this have to do with the car battery situation? You can lick your fingers and touch each end of a car battery with a hand. It won’t hurt you, much less kill you. You are ignoring the resistance of the path the current needs to travel. Without enough potential difference, the current has no reason to pass through the body.
The level to which you fail to understand a basic concept while brandishing your credentials is a bit embarassing. There are certainly many others with the same or lesser amount of experience than you who understand this scenario better than you do.
Note that nowhere in my critique have I attacked or undermined your claimed experience, nor have I made any attacks on your character. Besides this: you are acting like a child.

Just more reason to build a time machine, I guess.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 4 weeks ago:
No worries, I still knew where you meant to end them, it just took me a second pass.
- Comment on How accurate is this? 4 weeks ago:
My partner thought this. Turns out, people feel more comfortable causing a scene over the phone than in person.

I’m being annoying, but why do you keep opening parentheses without closing them 😭
- Comment on I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings 1 month ago:
Yeah, I would say they are intricate (lots of sections and moving parts) but not complex (hard to comprehend). Like, I think with the right manual and some time I could learn to fix it, but I’m never going to do the same with, say, a helicopter.

It’s real. I knew about him already, but I didn’t know about his tweets.

Not if you do an ungodly amount of sanding!

Maybe not 11 close friends, but I have enough friends to get 11 people invited to place… I think that counts! If I could fit them.

Lol, give it to a kid and watch the bands snap on the first jump 😔
- Comment on The right FUCKING time to get TWO ram sticks damaged 1 month ago:
I have used a handful of their mid-to-high end motherboards (relative to their product range) and they have never caused any major issues. This is obviously only anecdotal, though.
- Comment on The right FUCKING time to get TWO ram sticks damaged 1 month ago:
It could be the board, it could be the RAM, and it could be a fauly memory controller on your CPU. Although, if this was a while ago (pre-2003 for AMD, pre-2008 for intel) then the memory controller would be on the ASRock board.
In other words, a nightmare to diagnose.
- Comment on I love science 1 month ago:
And then we have things that remap what seems one-dimension into abstract spaces, so that we can draw new conclusions.
- Comment on One subscription to rule them all (Seedbox) 1 month ago:
Also Elden Ring was pirated pretty much at launch because of how simple and outdated FromSoft’s DRM practice are.
- Comment on Check mate, atheists. 1 month ago:
This is why I can’t discredit faith, but I still do my best to point out how organizational religion has always exploited people. Not that all of it is bad. But there needs to be better safeguards for people to have the opportunity to find or reject faith for themselves, and instead it’s mostly indoctrination.

In the eyes of the charge, your heart is just the path to your legs, like a driveway!
It’s like a really flawed idea of love!
- Comment on electricity is honestly eldritch 2 months ago:
The largest portion of current travels through the path of least resistance, so it’s almost there. But not quite.

- Comment on Vince Zampella, video game developer behind 'Call of Duty' franchise, killed in mountain road crash 2 months ago:
Have you considered why “Call of Duty” is 38 in Reduction, Single Reduction, KV Exception, and SKV exception?
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that all of those ciphers having the same mappings for all letters except K, S, and V… Each of which don’t appear in the phrase “Call of Duty”.
“The nimble red fox ran around the lazy dog” is 38 in Reduction, Single Reduction, KV Exceptuon, and SKV Exception!!! This means it’s related to murder! And I didn’t even have to calculate the cipher at all, I just had to look at it and see if it had the right letters!
- Comment on My PSP Scrapbook: Part Retrospective, Part Collage 2 months ago:
The shell I got was mediocre. It all comes together, but there are definitely some weird gaps and bad tolerances. I had to trim down some plastic to get everything to line up half-decently.
I’m glad you like the transparent shell as well, as I was a bit on the fence about it at first.
- Comment on My PSP Scrapbook: Part Retrospective, Part Collage 2 months ago:
Love the PSP! Grew up with it and loved the more mature titles available compared to Nintendo’s handheld game library. A couple years ago I purchased a faulty PSP for dirt cheap and replaced the display, shell, and UMD drive. Unfortunately the clear analog stick I purchased is quite rubbish and needs to be replaced, but I haven’t gotten around to it.

I also remember Windows 10 being annoying at first, but I think it mostly gets overshadowed by how many issues I had with 8/8.1

If water could no longer break surface tension (surface tension becomes infinity), wouldn’t all non-reactive production of gaseous water cease to occur?

What kind of work do you do?
I’m in the process of wrapping up my degree and I work a lot with signals and controls. I agree that Laplace is much less of a headache than Fourier.

An ROG 5090 Dhahab Edition is half of the $15k. Add a boutique case, custom cooling loop, overkill RAM and storage, and you just might hit $15k. Definitely a stretch though.
