- Comment on If your significant other cheated on you, would you confront or attack the person they cheated with? 1 day ago:
For all they know, they had a good romp. Imagine some random person coming up to you and punching you in the face the next day. It doesn’t compute.
My partner, with whom I assume you mean I had a sexually exclusive relationship, I’d leave in a heartbeat. The things I’d do to them in my mind though…

- Comment on Do people really "need" friends? 5 days ago:
I need recognition, love and freedom. Anybody who’s willing to give me that is welcome to have any undefined relationship with me. I couldn’t care less what the relationship is called.
- Comment on Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it? 5 days ago:
Mullvad on a router, so always on, because it’s nobody’s business who I am and what I do and where I do it. In there rare case that I need to use a service that blocks Mullvad, I just use my phone that has their toggleable app.

But I wanna be able to ride the express train!!!

Thanks! Interesting, then, that my instance chose to keep “attitude” but remove downvotes. Kinda pointless?

I’m bringing this with me to the shooting club this fall. I hope they let me try it.

Good question! And if we’re talking movies, I wonder the viability of for instance kicking or throwing the grenade away, assuming there is enough time left.
- Comment on Do you remember every single scene and dialogue of a show or movie you just watched? 1 week ago:
The first time I watched it, I rewatched it seven times in a row. I’m not exaggerating. I downloaded it from who knows what shady site, learned about VLC media play and used it for the first time ever. A little late, I know. After those seven times, I could basically work out all the dialogue from any scene in my head. GOD I love(d) that movie.
- Comment on Do you remember every single scene and dialogue of a show or movie you just watched? 1 week ago:
Happend with one movie, the first Pirates of the Caribbean. I could recite every line, hum every soundtrack and reenact every scene. But this was 10 years ago, give or take.

Thanks! And, interesting! Wouldn’t the metal bucket/pot do some amplification of the pressure wave on its own by locking it in? Anyway, I imagined having such a pot, but I realized, I cannot know for how long the adversary has been releasing the safety grip and thus how long I have until detonation. It could blow up in my face as I am trying to cover it with the pot. I think I’d go with the second option, to hitting the deck with my head pointing away from the grenade.

- Comment on How are you using your laptop (with internet) that still runs Windows10? 1 week ago:
I never learned how to fiddle with regedit before I moved to Linux, but I always ran this or this when I used to help friends and family setting up a Windows system.

I couldn’t find a Tiny10 ISO anymore to share with you… Let me upload next week and I’ll paste it here. :)
Meanwhile, just nuke a normal ISO with: https://christitus.com/windows-tool/
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 1 week ago:
I still rewatch some, from time to time. The latest and hottest: The Powerpuff Girls*, *Darkwing Duck*, *Dragonball and Sailor Moon.

This answer is so relatable. 😓🩵

Thanks! Maybe I’ll take a break from programming and pick up an ee book! 😊
Not to pick on them too much, but I have been deliberately avoiding Veritasium because he’s too “clickbaity”, showy and flashy. I’m not very comfortable with that.

Thanks! This reminds me, I’ve just recently read about old oscillators and the cycles, periods and hertz of electric signals. In oscillators, or clocks, that are used in computers, the signal switches between current - no current. Which isn’t the same as switching polarity in AC, but still.
It also reminded me of how insane I find it, that the membranes of speakers - whose vibration is controlled by an electromagnet, if I understand them correctly - are able to vibrate in a fashion that not only makes a sinus wave, but sometimes a complex, intricate mixture of sounds, such as when watching a scene from a movie that has soundtrack, ambient sound, speech, explosions, whathaveyou. How on earth can one membrane do that… A piano commonly needs 88 keys whose combination can produce complex harmonies. Speaker membrane: hold my beer.

Thank you for the great examples! See, this is yet another misconception that I picked up at elementary school: that “electricity travels at the speed of light”. After having read all the comments, yours included, and done some more reading, it is obvious that it’s the effect of electricity that to us seems immediate - for instance, a light bulb turning on. The propagation of the electromagnetic fields is what’s fast. Am I right?

Is this an academic question? As in, would you like to discuss how prejudice is formed?
If not, and this is a cry for help to deal with unreasonably controlling parents, then I say: don’t waste any more energy on it, even if it bugs you, which is more than understandable. But! People - parents included - have no right to choose our friends for us.

Thanks for all the clarifications! It’s mindboggling and fascinating how we found out about all this, came up with concepts and pointers - language - to express and describe it all.

Is how I say thank you for all this to a persons whose display name is onomatopoeia. 😁

Fair enough! I wired some PC chassi fans to a DC power adapter so that I could power them with the power outlet. And while that’s good enough for me in practice, my curious brain won’t stop bogging me until I learn it all. 🤣

Thanks! So it isn’t the electrons alone that we make use of, but the electric field that their tiny movements generate?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Thank you for the elaborate response! Are radiowaves also electromagnetic fields, or are those something completely different?
What I meant by the vague title was whether we actually consume or use the electrons themselves or simply reap the biproducts of some kind of manipulation that we do with them. I guess we do both, then, since it seems like it’s the acutal current in one node of a transistor that frees up/depletes the electrons of another node/path, as opposed to heat and light, where we instead reap some biproduct?

Had I “concluded” anything, I wouldn’t have posted in the first place.
Reading up on the subject at my local library is on the agenda. I just have get tired of programming first. 🤣

IN THIS ECONOMY?! /j
Thanks! This has been on my mind for a long time, but at the moment, I’m learning how to program. I don’t know how to squeeze in yet another subject as a hobby project. 😅 Maybe when I get tired of programming.

While I understand the need to simplify things for children who do not have enough prerequisite knowledge to otherwise understand science, “dumbing it down” is what has made me - and many more - believe that electricity works just like water. This has made it so difficult for me to “transition” into seeing electricity for what it actually is: electric fields generated by slightly moving electrons. I shouldn’t have chosen music as a major. 😂

Sweet allegory! Thanks! 😊
