It’s kinda hard to raise your body’s resistance a ton outside of not making good contact (e.g. wearing rubber boots/gloves). Things like your skin being moist lower resistance, but I’m not sure it’s really that much of a safety factor when dealing with high voltage.

I think people just don’t understand ohm’s law. They seem to think voltage and current are unrelated to each other.
- Comment on Water addiction 1 week ago:
Unless you really are drinking that much water. If you’re drinking a few gallons a day, expect to be peeing constantly. Your body isn’t going to water to retain all of that and it has to go somewhere. Most bladders can only hold like 2 cups.
- Comment on There is a fee to close my HSA account 2 weeks ago:
It really depends. My company, you always do the high deductible. The OOP Max is only $5k compared to $13k for the other. The difference in premiums plus my employers contribution to the HSA are more than the difference between the two deductibles. The plans cover the same stuff. I don’t really get why they’re set up how they are.
- Comment on PhD ain't no MD 2 weeks ago:
All PhDs are doctors of philosophy. That’s what the Ph stands for. Doesn’t mean they majored in philosophy. So you can have a doctorate of philosophy in engineering or English or even medicine and be one of those crazy MF-PhDs.

- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 5 weeks ago:
The goal is to mess up price history. So it will have a list price of $50 but with a coupon to make it $35. Then a sale day happens and they lower the price to $40. It’s 20% off! Good deal.
It doesn’t really help if you’re comparison shopping with alerts. I don’t know that Amazon thinks you’re going to go to another site.
- Comment on oh man 5 weeks ago:
The context is just her life. That she’s attempting to apply to everyone always. The problem is not the question like she seems to assume. And her solution to ask “Where do you consider home?” is awkward and doesn’t really help.
To note, the problem is the underlying assertion that they have to be from somewhere foreign when other people in the same area won’t have that assumption applied to them. So the context the question is asked in matters a lot and her blanket statement completely takes that context out of it.

Sometimes the powers that be need the proper motivation needed to get rid of the orphan crushing machine.

No. He was the kind of evil that legally harmed and killed millions.

It’s sick you think he was innocent.

First you listen to a bunch of speeches. Then they call everyone’s name individually, and you walk across a stage, shake hands with some people, get handed a degree. Then maybe everyone throws their hat in the air.

Aren’t you teaching them how effective bullying is? And that it’s ok for an adult to use it to get the behavior they want? Or do you face any consequences for your bullying?

The green doesn’t follow that.

I think it’s more y=5x and then y=3x, so you’re still increasing, but the rate of increase has decreased.

It seems like networking would be even more important for you. You’d have people who could vouch for you: “Yeah they’re kind of weird in an interview, but they do amazing work.”

Is it because of the kids or the admin/parents/political activists/gun violence/low pay?
- Comment on gen z gorillas 2 months ago:
Maybe the people complaining drown out everyone else. But people like David Hogg and Greta Thunberg are Gen Z and out doing more than most to fix the problems they see. Like maybe people complain that Gen Z has no idea what files on a computer are, but that seems like a different thing than helplessness.

No. The outcome is Trump is president.

That isn’t an outcome.

What’s the other outcome of the US election?

There are the words straight out of Trump’s mouth. If you believe that Democrats will kill more people than Republicans, that’s a completely different conversation.
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 2 months ago:
More people than the Republicans would.

It’s a stupid question. But that’s the reality. So genocide or worse genocide? If you say neither, it’s probably going to be worse genocide.

I’m so sad we voted against it. Legalizing magic mushrooms had more support than making tipped minimum wage the same as normal minimum wage.

I think it might be easier just to do the division.

Uh, pronouns are just words. They don’t have some innate quality that means they had to exist when the entities those pronouns describe began. He/Him is likely about as old as he/him.

Considering we’re trying to find lengths, shouldn’t we be doing absolute value squared?

This in reply to a person who took more effort to write a program that wrote out the steps for inverting a matrix so they didn’t have to do the busy work of inverting a silly number of them? Kinda sounds like they prefer really understanding and challenging work to busy work is all.

This is the WordPress drama you’re focusing on right now?
